Pest control vehicle wraps: 7 ideas for the truck, van, and SUV

A pest control truck parks in a driveway, and the neighbors notice. Some of them have the same ants. A clean wrap with a clear phone number turns that visit into the next call.

Pest control has a rule most other trades don't: many states tell you what your truck must say. Texas, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and Oklahoma all set lettering rules for pest control vehicles. This guide shows 7 ideas made with our free generator, then the state rules to build into the design before it goes to print. Every company below is fictional. To try them with your own name, open the free pest control van wrap tool or the pest control pickup page.

7 pest control vehicle wrap ideas

Each image is a free watermarked WrapMockup preview. The lettering is drawn from typed text, so the name, phone, and license line come out spelled right.

1. Color block pickup with the license on the door

Color block pest control pickup wrap concept for Larchmont Pest Control, a fictional company, navy and gold with a TPCL license line

Navy and gold blocks with a "TPCL #" line on the door. In Texas, the front doors or front fenders are where the license number has to go, so this layout puts it there from the start.

2. Two-tone pickup for a general pest route

Two-tone pest control pickup wrap concept for Hollins Creek Pest Co., a fictional company, green and yellow

Green on the lower half, white above, with "Ants, roaches, and rodents" as the tagline. Name the three pests people call about most. That tagline does more work than any picture of a bug.

3. Stripe van for termite work

Stripe style pest control van wrap concept for Brackenridge Termite and Pest, a fictional company, rust and amber stripes

Rust and amber stripes on a white van. Termite work is a big ticket, so lead with "Termite inspections and treatment." Stripes are low cost and repeat across a fleet.

4. Minimal van for discreet service

Minimal lettering pest control van wrap concept for Quenby Pest Solutions, a fictional company, charcoal and green

Charcoal lettering, a green accent, no bug art, and a calm tagline: "Quarterly home pest plans." Some homeowners and restaurants don't want the street to know they have mice. A minimal wrap can meet the state rules below.

5. Swoosh SUV for the inspector

Swoosh style pest control SUV wrap concept for Hollins Creek Pest Co., a fictional company, with a free pest inspections tagline

The green and yellow from idea 2, on the SUV your inspector drives. "Free pest inspections" tells people what it is for, and the shared colors tie it to the trucks.

6. Full color van for mosquito and tick control

Full color pest control van wrap concept for Marlowe Mosquito and Tick, a fictional company, teal and orange

Teal and orange cover the van. Mosquito and tick service is seasonal and outdoor, so a loud wrap fits. Keep the phone on a solid band so it stays readable over the color.

7. Box truck for commercial accounts

Stripe style pest control box truck wrap concept for Larchmont Pest Control, a fictional company, navy and gold with a TPCL license line

The navy and gold from idea 1 on a box truck, with "Commercial pest control" on the box. The box is the billboard. In Texas, add the TPCL number to the cab doors or front fenders as well. A number on the box alone is outside the rule. For budget numbers, see our box truck wrap cost guide.

Pest control vehicle lettering rules by state

These rules attach to pest control licenses and the vehicles used for service. Five state examples:

Texas. Rule 4 TAC §7.141(g) says a business licensee "shall prominently display its business license number on all vehicles used by the business licensee for customer contact or service." The number must be fixed in place (the rule says magnetic devices don't meet it), preceded by "Texas Pest Control License #" or "TPCL #," on both front fenders or both front door panels, in letters and numbers at least 2 inches high and 1 inch wide, and in a color that contrasts with the vehicle. Subsection (h) adds that a vehicle shows the license number of each business it is used for.

Florida. Rule 5E-14.103 says vehicles and trailers used in pest control must carry the licensee's name or trade name as registered with the state. It must appear on both sides, in bold letters at least 1 1/2 inches high, in a contrasting color, in plain view. "Permanently marked" means paint or decals on the vehicle. Magnetic signs are allowed on vehicles that carry no pesticides or application equipment. Personal vehicles of the owners and certified operators have an exception when they meet its terms. FDACS says Florida pest control business license numbers begin with "JB."

Arizona. Rule R3-8-310 says the business name and license number go on both sides of each service vehicle and trailer, within 30 days of getting the license or the vehicle. Principal words in the name must be at least 2 inches, other words at least 1 1/2 inches, and the license number at least 2 inches, in a contrasting color. A vehicle and trailer used together at all times need one of them marked, not both. Vehicles used for sales or inspections alone that carry no pesticide are exempt. Slogans and trademarks are allowed alongside the required text.

Nevada. NAC 555.425 says the business name and permanent license number must appear on all service vehicles, matching the license, on both sides, in letters at least 2 inches high in a contrasting color.

Oklahoma. Rule 35:30-17-15 says vehicles used by a commercial applicator "shall be identified by displaying the name and license number of the licensee," on both sides, in letters at least 2 inches high.

For other states, check your state pest control board or department of agriculture before the wrap goes to print. Add the license line to the design at the start, so the shop sizes it with the rest of the text. The WrapMockup form has a license line field for this.

Federal DOT marking. A box truck can cross the federal weight line. Under 49 CFR 390.5, a vehicle in interstate commerce rated or weighing "4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more" is a commercial motor vehicle, and 49 CFR 390.21 then asks for your name and USDOT number on both sides. See our DOT number decal requirements guide.

Colors for pest control

Green, navy, and charcoal read as safe and clean. Use them for home routes. Save orange and red for accents or mosquito trucks.
Skip gross bug art. Customers don't want a giant roach in their driveway. A shield, leaf, or house mark does the job.
Test small. Shrink the preview to thumbnail size. If you can read the phone and the license number, a driver can.

FAQ

What should a pest control truck wrap include? Business name, phone number, one service line such as "Ants, roaches, and rodents," a short website, and the license line your state requires. Many states require the name and license number on both sides of the vehicle.

Where does the license number go on a pest control truck in Texas? Rule 4 TAC §7.141(g) says on both front fenders or both front door panels, preceded by "Texas Pest Control License #" or "TPCL #," in letters and numbers at least 2 inches high and 1 inch wide, in a contrasting color.

Can I use magnetic signs on a pest control truck? In Texas, magnetic devices don't meet the license display rule. In Florida, magnetic signs are allowed on vehicles that carry no pesticides or application equipment. Magnets fit a sales car, not a service truck. More in our car door magnets guide.

Can I see my pest control wrap before I pay a shop? Yes. The free pest control van wrap tool shows your name, phone, license line, and colors in 6 styles on three vehicles and a yard sign.
