Call (844) 924-1337Texarkana is the only PestGuardians city built directly on a state line instead of near one. State Line Avenue runs straight through the middle of downtown, with the Arkansas side on one curb and the Texas side on the other, and a historic US Post Office and federal courthouse sits with that same boundary running straight through the building itself. The city was founded in 1873 at a real railroad junction, and its name is a manufactured word rather than a borrowed one, built from letters pulled out of Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The state line matters for pest control: Arkansas's Plant Board system and the separate Texas agency govern their respective sides, so give the exact location on State Line Avenue when discussing the requirements for the work.
Arkansas licenses structural pest control through the Arkansas State Plant Board's Pesticide Division under the Arkansas Department of Agriculture. Individuals who want to perform commercial structural pest control work must qualify as a Commercial Applicator, which requires at least one year of hands on pest control experience or two years of college coursework in entomology, 40 hours of verifiable on the job training, and a passing score on a state administered exam, plus current EPA pesticide applicator certification. Businesses need a separate operator's license under one of several classifications, including Classification 1 for termites and other wood destroying pests and Classification 2 for household pest and rodent control, and must carry bond and insurance coverage before the state will issue that license. Wildlife and nuisance animal removal work is regulated separately: some nuisance species can be trapped or removed without a permit, but game and furbearing animals like raccoons generally require a Depredation Permit issued by the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission rather than anything from the Plant Board.

Call PestGuardians to discuss your pest problem and check local service availability.
No, and that distinction matters here more than in most cities. Arkansas regulates structural pest control through the Arkansas State Plant Board's Pesticide Division, with its own Commercial Applicator and business licensing requirements, while the Texas side of Texarkana falls under a completely separate state licensing system. For an address on the Arkansas side, ask PestGuardians about the requirements for the proposed work rather than assuming Texas rules apply.
Pricing depends on the property, the pest, and whether the job is a one time treatment or an ongoing plan, so we can't quote a set number here. Call PestGuardians about your Texarkana, Arkansas property and ask what assessment is needed to confirm the scope and quote.
Yes. The Arkansas and Texas sides of Texarkana are two different cities from a regulatory standpoint even though they share a downtown, so mention your exact address, including the state, when scheduling. It determines which state's requirements apply to the work at your property.
Most residential plans in Texarkana address the exterior perimeter, foundation lines, eaves, and gaps around the crawl space, along with interior treatment where it's needed. Given how many of the city's homes date back toward its 1873 founding as a railroad junction town, older foundation gaps and settled framing tend to matter as much as anything happening indoors.
