Most sites rank pros by who pays the most, or sell your details to whoever bids. We do neither. Every pest control pro here carries one independent Trust Score, built from state license records, review sentiment from Google and Reddit, and our own verified homeowner reviews. Payment cannot move a Trust Score by even one point, and we never sell your details.
A pro cannot pay to rank above a higher-scoring competitor. A subscriber scoring 22 never outranks a non-subscriber scoring 88.
Placement follows the verified data, not an ad budget. Paying us never hides a negative signal from you.
When you request quotes, your job goes to verified local pros. We are not a lead broker auctioning your details.
Every pro on this page traces back to a public record, not a marketing claim. Here is exactly what we check.
We seed this directory directly from Texas state license data (TDLR and TSBPE) and record each pro's active-license status, expiry, and authority. License verification is the single largest factor in the Trust Score, checked against the state licensing board (TDLR or TSBPE), never inferred from a contractor's advertising.
We analyze real Google reviews and Reddit recommendations for reliability, quality, responsiveness, and pricing fairness, so a pro praised on Google but dragged on Reddit does not slip through.
First-party reviews affect a score only after we confirm the reviewer actually used the pro, which blocks bought or retaliatory reviews. New signals wait through a 7-day grace period before they count.
Eight reviews count less than eighty, recent reviews weigh more than old ones, and we publish every signal and principle while keeping the exact weighting internal, so the score cannot be reverse-engineered.
How to hire with confidence, and how HomeClip keeps this list honest.
We seed this directory straight from Texas state license records (TDLR, and the trade's own state board) and check that each pro holds an active license with the named authority. We then read review sentiment from Google and Reddit and add our own verified homeowner reviews. Every pro carries one Trust Score built from those signals, and license verification is its single largest factor.
No. Payment cannot move a Trust Score by even one point. A pro cannot pay to rank above a higher-scoring competitor, hide a negative signal, or buy a higher confidence rating. Placement follows the verified data, not an ad budget.
No. We are not a lead broker. When you request quotes, your job goes to a small set of verified local pros who reach out to you. We never auction your contact details to whoever bids the most.
Ask for their license number and verify it directly on the state board's site, never rely on a screenshot or a written claim. In Texas most trades are licensed by TDLR, and plumbers by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners. Confirm the license is active with no disciplinary actions, and that the licensed name matches who will actually do the work.
Confirm an active state license, ask for proof of liability insurance, and get itemized written quotes that break out labor, materials, permits, and warranty. Compare the pro's Trust Score with an independent look at Reddit, and be wary of anyone who demands a large deposit up front, quotes major work sight-unseen, or offers a cash discount with no invoice.
Three is the standard. Three itemized quotes let you see where the money goes and spot an outlier bid, high or low. HomeClip's free Get 3 Quotes flow sends your job to up to three verified Austin pest control pros who contact you directly, with no obligation.
A star rating is an average of whoever left a review. A Trust Score is an independent, un-buyable number from 0 to 100 built from state license verification, review sentiment from Google and Reddit, our own verified reviews, and responsiveness signals. Recent reviews weigh more, a small number of reviews counts less than a large one, and no one can pay to change it.
