The Texas Structural Pest Control Board works to protect the health
and welfare of citizens and the environment against the misuse of pesticides,
and promotes standards for the industry. Major responsibilities of the Board
are promulgating rules and regulations for licensing, examination, and
training; administering licensing exams or granting waivers when appropriate;
issuing licenses in four categories--business, certified commercial applicator,
certified non-commercial applicator, and technician; inspecting pest control
work of licensees; investigating allegations of improper application of
pesticides or other violations of the Structural Pest Control Act;
administering mandatory continuing education for certified applicators; and
operating a public information program about the practice and regulation of
structural pest control in the state. The Board also acts as the investigative
arm of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in Texas by investigating and
referring to the EPA violations of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act. The Board receives funding from the EPA for carrying out these
functions.
The Texas Structural Pest Control Board was created by Senate Bill
910, 62nd Texas Legislature, Regular Session, 1971. It was originally composed
of six members, increasing to nine members in 1979. Ex officio members are the
Commissioner of Agriculture and the Commissioner of Health or their
representatives, and a representative from Texas A & M University. The
remaining six members are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent
of the Senate to six-year overlapping terms. Three of these must have been
engaged in professional structural pest control for the preceding five years,
each representing a different business; the other three must not be board
licensed. The Governor designates the chair. In 2006 there were approximately
28 staff members and no formal divisions.
In 1993, the 73rd Legislature mandated that an Integrated Pest
Management Program (IPMP) be created for schools. The Board has the
responsibility for developing standards and criteria for the use of pesticides
and other related chemical agents at school buildings and other facilities of
school districts. Schools were to adopt an IPMP by September 1, 1995.
In 2007 the 80th Legislature abolished the Structural Pest Control
Board (House Bill 2458, Regular Session), transferring its functions to the
Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA). Pest control functions are now carried
out by the Structural Pest Control Service of the Pest Programs Division of
TDA.
