Pittsburg’s environment fosters the presence of numerous pests that impact homes and businesses, including:

​

• Ants: These tiny invaders are a common nuisance, infiltrating homes, kitchens, and restaurants in search of food and water, especially during warmer months.

​​

• Rodents: Rats and mice thrive in Pittsburg’s urban and industrial settings, damaging structures, gnawing on wires, and spreading diseases that pose health risks to residents and employees.

​​

• Termites: Older homes and wooden structures in Pittsburg are particularly vulnerable to termite infestations, leading to costly and often undetected damage.

​​

• Cockroaches: Found in kitchens, restaurants, and food-related businesses, cockroaches spread bacteria, contaminate food, and create unsanitary conditions.

​​

• Spiders: While most spiders are harmless, venomous species like black widows are often found in dark, undisturbed areas, posing risks to families and workers.

​​

• Mosquitoes: Proximity to the Delta increases mosquito activity, disrupting outdoor activities and increasing the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.
