Converse requires property owners to keep structures free of rodents and insects under the 2018 IPMC. Commercial pesticide applicators must be licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture.
Converse has adopted the 2018 International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) through Chapter 18 of the Municipal Code, which in Sections 304 and 309 requires property owners to maintain structures free of infestation from insects, rodents, and other pests. When infestations occur in multiple-unit buildings, the property owner is responsible for extermination. Occupants of single-family dwellings are generally responsible unless the infestation results from building defects. Commercial pesticide applications require a license from the Texas Department of Agriculture under the Texas Structural Pest Control Act. Residents performing their own treatment on their own property do not need a license but must follow label directions. Property maintenance violations begin with a notice to abate; continued violations may result in municipal court citations. Contact Converse Code Enforcement at (210) 658-5356 to report rat harborage, roach infestations, mosquito breeding sites, or unsanitary conditions attracting vermin.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
