Manteca’s blend of urban and agricultural landscapes creates an ideal environment for a wide range of pests.

Ants are a common problem, infiltrating homes, kitchens, and businesses, especially during the warmer months as they search for food and water.

Rodents, such as mice and rats, often invade homes, warehouses, and commercial properties, causing damage to structures, wires, and insulation while spreading diseases.

The city’s older homes and wooden structures make them particularly vulnerable to termite infestations, which can silently damage wood and lead to costly repairs.

Cockroaches are another issue, commonly found in kitchens, restaurants, and food-related businesses, where they spread bacteria and compromise hygiene.

Spiders, while many are harmless, can be dangerous, particularly venomous species like the black widow, which pose risks in dark, secluded areas such as basements, garages, and storage spaces within homes and businesses.
