Tracy’s unique combination of urban and rural features leads to a variety of pest issues:

​

• Ants: These persistent pests are a common problem in homes, restaurants, and offices, especially during warm months as they seek out food and water.

​​

• Rodents: Mice and rats often invade homes, warehouses, and commercial properties in Tracy, causing damage to structures, wires, and insulation while spreading diseases.

​​

• Termites: Older wooden structures and homes in Tracy are at risk of termite infestations, which can cause extensive damage if left untreated.

​​

• Cockroaches: Found in kitchens, food-related businesses, and homes, cockroaches pose a hygiene risk by contaminating surfaces and spreading bacteria.

​​

• Spiders: While most spiders are harmless, venomous species like the black widow can be found in dark, undisturbed spaces such as garages, basements, and storage rooms.

​​

• Mosquitoes: Tracy’s warm climate and surrounding agricultural areas contribute to mosquito activity, making outdoor spaces less enjoyable and posing health risks through disease transmission.
