What we treat
Termites, Mosquitoes and Roaches in the City of Trees
Subterranean termites
After a soaking rain on a clear spring or fall afternoon, winged subterranean termites may pour out of the soil, UC Statewide IPM reports. Their earthen shelter tubes connect the soil to framing, and summer, especially after rain, is their busiest time. Irrigated planters and sprinklers that wet a foundation make conditions ideal, so aim water away from the walls and fix leaks quickly.
Drywood termites
UC IPM ranks the drywood termite as the state's second most important termite pest, found from the coast into the Central Valley. It needs no soil contact. Small piles of ridged pellets under tiny holes and wings left by daytime swarms point to it. Treatments include whole-structure fumigation, heat or local applications, and an inspector can say which fits.
Culex and other mosquitoes
The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District, active since 1946, warns that mosquitoes spreading West Nile virus are a major public health concern, and the house mosquito Culex pipiens can carry it. The district tracks West Nile activity, sprays where it finds it and takes reports of neglected pools. Drain standing water, repair screens, and avoid being out at dawn and dusk.
Turkestan and Oriental cockroaches
A newer invader, the Turkestan cockroach, is replacing the Oriental cockroach in the Central Valley, UC IPM says. It lives mainly outdoors in meter boxes, compost piles and leaf litter. Oriental roaches prefer cool, damp, dark spots such as garages and drains. Identify the species before treating, since methods differ, and use sticky traps and baits rather than foggers.
Roof rats
A city with this much tree cover suits roof rats, which UC IPM describes as excellent climbers that use branches, fence tops and overhead wires. They nest in attics and wall and ceiling voids, eat fruit and nuts, and travel up to about 300 feet from the nest. Trim limbs back from the roof and pick up fallen fruit.
Western yellowjackets
The western yellowjacket is California's most frequently met species. Its paper nests are tucked into old burrows or inside walls, and colonies keep growing all season. By fall the workers turn to sweets and scraps at picnics, pet bowls and garbage cans. Keep food covered and bins sealed, and leave hidden or underground nests to a professional.
Spotted something?
Sacramento averages 18 inches of precipitation, mostly in these months, spread over roughly 58 days. Leaks and wet soil near the foundation keep termites in business through the winter, and spring rain can set off afternoon swarms of winged adults.
Roughly 14 days a year reach triple digits, and the July average is about 76 degrees. Warm water turns mosquito eggs into adults quickly, drywood termites swarm by day and Turkestan roaches turn up in meter boxes. Morning and evening hours are when mosquitoes bite most.
Yellowjacket workers switch to scavenging for sweets, and the first heavy rain can send winged termites out on a clear afternoon. Fallen fruit under the old trees is a magnet for wasps and for roof rats alike.

Yes. Subterranean species are found throughout the state, and western drywood termites range from the coast into the Central Valley. Mud tubes on the foundation point to subterranean termites, while six-sided pellets under small holes point to drywood. An inspection tells you which, if either, is present.
Warm months bring the most activity, since heat speeds up how fast eggs become biting adults. The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District monitors West Nile virus and recommends draining standing water and using repellent at dawn and dusk. Report neglected pools to the district.
Mature trees give roof rats food, cover and a path to your roof. They are expert climbers that nest in attics and wall voids and range up to about 300 feet. Trim branches back, remove fallen fruit and seal gaps to discourage them.
Sacramento plans open at $57 after a free estimate. The cost reflects the property and the pests, so a house under old trees with rats is not priced like a newer home with a few roaches. Describe the job on the online form.
Yes. Restaurants, offices, warehouses and multi-unit properties are covered, not only homes. Floor drains, loading docks and trash enclosures are the usual trouble spots in commercial buildings. Send us the address for a free estimate and a plan that fits the space.
We look for mud tubes on the foundation, drywood pellets and tiny exit holes, damaged wood, and sprinkler or plumbing leaks near the structure. Buyers, sellers and agents get a single written report to read before closing, and the estimate for the visit is at no cost.
Often they are Turkestan cockroaches, a newer species that lives mostly outdoors in meter boxes, compost and leaf litter and can enter homes. They are replacing Oriental cockroaches in the Central Valley. Because treatment varies by species, identification comes first.

Sacramento sits only 26 feet above sea level on flat river land, with about 76 days a year at 90 degrees or hotter. Summer heat, irrigated yards and the rivers' moisture suit termites, mosquitoes and roaches.
As California's capital and the seat of Sacramento County, Sacramento had 524,943 residents in the 2020 census. Roughly 100 square miles of flat land stretch across the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, and Mayor Hardin Bigelow oversaw its first levee after a flood in January 1850. Land to the west is reserved as the Yolo Bypass flood basin.
Known as the City of Trees, Sacramento has a dense canopy over many streets in Land Park, East Sacramento and Curtis Park. Summer afternoons are hot, but the delta breeze from San Francisco Bay cools nights, and about 18 inches of rain falls from November to April. Old trees, irrigated lawns and river water give pests a dependable supply of shelter and moisture through the dry months.
Local field notes
What our technicians check first on a Sacramento property
Unique to Sacramento
Local conditions decide where pests live and how they get in. These are the Sacramento details that shape every plan we write here.
A mature tree canopy is a roadway for rats, so the work starts at the roofline. Cut branches back from the house, keep shrubs about 2 feet from walls, and cover vents with half-inch mesh. Pick up fallen fruit and nuts, and keep trash in lidded bins to take away the food rats came for.
Down at ground level, irrigation is the main issue. Termites like the moisture around planters, sprinkler heads and downspouts. Keep structural wood a foot above soil, clear stumps and buried scrap lumber, and ventilate the crawl space. Have a professional inspect every few years, even if no swarmers have been seen.
