Get Rodents Out, and Keep Them Out, in Sacramento
Precision Pest Control works homes and businesses across Sacramento, from the raised, pier-and-beam bungalows near Land Park and Curtis Park to the slab-built subdivisions spreading toward Elk Grove and Natomas. We spend as much time working under houses as we do inside them. Foundation type tells us where an infestation likely started before we ever open a service bag.
We see rodents most often in the raised foundation homes around Land Park and Curtis Park, where open crawl spaces and vented skirting give roof rats and mice an easy route under the floor joists. Ants, cockroaches and beetles turn up in kitchens across the city, feeding on stored grain and pet food once pantry pests get a foothold. Bed bugs and fleas move in through secondhand furniture and pets rather than the foundation itself. In the newer slab homes near Elk Grove and Natomas, we check expansion joints and utility penetrations first, since a slab does not offer the crawl space route rodents use elsewhere.

Sacramento's building stock splits pretty cleanly by era, and that split changes how a pest gets into a house. The bungalows and cottages around Land Park, Curtis Park and the East Sacramento grid went up in the 1920s through 1940s on raised, pier-and-beam foundations with open crawl spaces underneath, common in a river city sitting between the Sacramento and American rivers. That gap under the floor is a highway for roof rats, and the foundation vents meant to keep the crawl space dry are exactly wide enough for a mouse. Before we treat anything inside, we go under the house first, checking vent screens, the sill plate, and any place a line was cut through the rim joist.
South and east of downtown, in the slab-on-grade tracts built out toward Elk Grove and Natomas from the 1970s onward, there is no crawl space to inspect, so entry points move to the perimeter, expansion joints, door thresholds, and the gap where stucco meets the foundation. Homes on lower-lying ground closer to the Delta and the American River Parkway are more likely to run a sump pump, and a pump that cycles often keeps soil around the slab damp enough to draw ants and moisture pests toward the house. We treat a raised foundation and a slab foundation differently because the pest is following a different path into the structure, not because one property needs more product.
