Consumer checklist

Questions you may choose to ask a company

Use these neutral questions to understand a provider’s identity, public record, and proposed work. They do not imply that you need service or recommend a treatment.

Check the official record directly using the California Structural Pest Control Board license search. The Board’s current instructions explain how to narrow the Department of Consumer Affairs lookup to its licensees.

This is a conversation checklist, not pest-treatment, safety, or legal advice. Ask the provider and applicable public authorities about details for your own situation.
