The combination of urban development and natural surroundings in West Sacramento gives rise to a variety of pest issues, including:

​

• Ants: Frequently found in homes and businesses, ants are drawn indoors in search of food and water, particularly during warm months.

​​

• Rodents: Rats and mice are common in West Sacramento’s residential and industrial areas, where they damage structures, gnaw on wires, and spread diseases.

​​

• Mosquitoes: Proximity to the Sacramento River and other water sources makes mosquitoes a persistent problem, disrupting outdoor activities and posing health risks.

​​

• Termites: Older buildings and wooden structures in the area are susceptible to termite infestations, leading to costly damage if left untreated.

​​

• Cockroaches: These pests thrive in food-related businesses and residential kitchens, spreading bacteria and contaminating surfaces.

​​

• Spiders: Venomous species like black widows can be found in dark, undisturbed areas such as garages, basements, and storage spaces.

​​

• Bees and Wasps: Stinging insects often nest near homes and businesses, creating potential safety hazards for families and employees.
