These terms apply to your use of pestcontrolhelper.com, which is run by Pest Control Helper. By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

What this site is #

Pest Control Helper is a free consumer guide. It offers general information about pests and pest control for Texas homeowners and renters.

What this site is not #

• Not a pest control company. We are not a pest control company and perform no inspections or treatments. The site doesn't identify pests or give estimates or bids.
• Not professional advice. Nothing here is medical, legal, veterinary, or other professional advice. For your situation, talk to a doctor, vet, lawyer, or a company licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture, as fits.
• Not a substitute for the label. Always read and follow the label on any pesticide you use. The label is the law.
• Not emergency help. In a poisoning emergency, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222. If someone collapsed, can't breathe, or is having a seizure, call 911.

Accuracy #

We work to keep the guides accurate and current, and we name our sources. But laws, rules, products, phone numbers, and prices change. Information may be incomplete or out of date. Check important facts with the official source before you act on them.

No endorsements #

Mentioning or linking to an agency, university, or other website doesn't mean they endorse this site, or that we endorse everything they say. This site doesn't endorse or recommend any pest control company or any brand of product. When a guide mentions a kind of product, such as a snap trap, an ant bait, or an insect repellent, that's general information, not an endorsement. Always read and follow the label.
