Sacramento’s temperate climate and mix of urban spaces and waterways attract a variety of pests:

​

• Ants: Frequently invading homes, offices, and kitchens, ants become especially problematic during warmer months as they search for food and water.

​​

• Rodents: Rats and mice are common in Sacramento’s urban and suburban neighborhoods, causing structural damage, contaminating food, and spreading diseases.

​​

• Termites: Many older homes and buildings in Sacramento are at risk of termite infestations, leading to costly structural damage if left untreated.

​​

• Cockroaches: These resilient pests thrive in Sacramento’s kitchens, restaurants, and other food-related businesses, spreading bacteria and compromising hygiene.

​​

• Spiders: From harmless house spiders to venomous black widows, spiders often take shelter in basements, garages, and storage spaces.

​​

• Mosquitoes: Sacramento’s proximity to rivers and wetlands creates an ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes, disrupting outdoor activities and increasing the risk of mosquito-borne illnesses.

​​

• Wasps: Wasps and yellowjackets are a common issue during warmer months, creating nests near homes and businesses and posing a threat to safety.
