Common pests in Claremont

Before you hire in Claremont

• Verify the license in the DCA search with the Structural Pest Control Board selected.Sources: SPCB, License verification, CA DCA, License Search
• For a pre-1960 house, ask whether the inspection includes the crawl space and any areas the inspector can't reach.Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)
• For wildlife, call IVHS first; ask a pest company only about exclusion, such as closing crawl spaces under decks, which the city also recommends.Sources: City of Claremont, Animal Control, City of Claremont, Coyotes
• For rats, ask what the plan does about fallen fruit, birdseed and openings over ¼ inch.Sources: City of Claremont, Coyotes, UC IPM, Rats
• Get the inspection report before any work starts.Sources: SPCB, Structural Pest Control Act (PDF)

Typical service types to ask about

• Termite inspection: Ask for the written inspection report and which parts of the house it covers.
• Rodent control: Ask where traps or sealing work will go and whether follow-up visits are part of the price you're quoted.
• Bed bug services: Ask how many visits the plan includes and what you need to do before each one.
• Ants and cockroaches: Ask what the technician found and where products will be applied.
• Bees and wasps: Ask whether the company removes a live colony or only treats it.
• Wildlife concerns: Start with the animal control answer above, since some animal calls go to a public agency.
• Mosquitoes and vectors: San Gabriel Valley Mosquito & Vector Control District, (626) 814-9466
• Other structural services: Ask which license branch covers the work and get the scope in writing.

What this directory covers and what it does not

SoCal Pest Finder is an independent directory. Company profiles include source links and dated public-license information. A listing is not an endorsement, inspection, ranking, or availability statement. County service statements are separate from city service-area evidence.

The pest notes on this page come from public sources such as UC IPM, the county vector control district and the city, and each one links to where it came from. They can't tell you what is going on at your address, and we don't quote prices or rate companies. For that, have a licensed company inspect.
