Rats
Are roof rats in California?
UC IPM says roof rats and Norway rats are present in almost all California cities, and that the species decides the control.
What does a rat sign look like?
Droppings along a cabinet base, grease marks on a beam, gnawed packaging or a burrow at a fence post are typical signs.
Termites and wood
Are termites common in California?
UC ANR says subterranean termites are the most common termite in the state, living in underground nests and infesting wood in soil contact.
Should I treat the termites myself?
UC ANR advises against do-it-yourself treatment, which it describes as often not effective. A licensed applicator is the right step after an inspection.
Other pests
Which ant species is in Fremont?
This site did not find a UC IPM source for Bay Area ant species, so it does not name one. The technician identifies the group on the visit.
Can you handle spiders and wasps?
Yes, as general services. The species is identified on the visit and the report records it.
Licences, reports and money
Who licenses pest control in California?
The Department of Pesticide Regulation issues the business licence. The Qualified Applicator Licence holder must be present, and the county registration is with the Agricultural Commissioner.
Is there a price on the site?
No. The price is confirmed on site before work begins.
Will I get a report?
Yes, in writing, with the areas checked, the evidence, the findings and the follow-up date.
