Euless property owners must keep structures free of rats, roaches, and other vermin under the adopted property maintenance code, and commercial applicators must hold a Texas Department of Agriculture license.
Euless adopts the International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) through Chapter 18 of the Code of Ordinances, which requires all structures and premises to be kept free from insect and rodent infestation. Property owners are responsible for extermination in single-family homes they occupy, while owners of rental property, multifamily buildings, and commercial structures must provide pest control service whenever an infestation is identified by Code Enforcement. Standing water, uncovered garbage, and overgrown vegetation that harbor pests are separate violations under the city nuisance ordinance. Commercial pest control operators working in Euless must be licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture Structural Pest Control Service under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1951. Restaurants and food establishments are additionally inspected by Tarrant County Public Health, which can close a kitchen for active roach or rodent activity. Residents who suspect a neighboring property is the source of an infestation can file a complaint with Euless Code Enforcement at 817-685-1400. The city does not perform free extermination on private property but will cite owners who fail to act within the stated compliance period, typically 10 to 30 days depending on severity.
