Common Pest Problems in San Francisco
San Francisco sits in California, and the pests that call homeowners there follow the local climate and housing. The calls that come from San Francisco cover everything from ants and roaches in the kitchen to rodents in the attic, and the companies on the other end know the local housing, from slab homes to older basements and crawl spaces.
- Ants after every rain. Argentine ants trail into kitchens when the weather changes, and roof rats use fences, wires and palms to reach attics.
- Termites, fleas and wildlife. Drywood termites work through framing without touching the ground, and mild winters keep fleas, spiders and squirrels active.
- Termites in California. California sits in the heavy termite zone, so wood-to-soil contact, mulch against siding and moisture at the foundation are worth watching.
- Winter and rodents. Winters are mild enough that rodents and insects stay active all year.
- Scorpions. Scorpions turn up in garages, block walls and landscape rock here, and they follow the insects they eat.
Can it wait?
When to Call an Exterminator in San Francisco Right Away
- Bed bugs in the bedroom. Small rust-colored spots on the sheets, itchy welts in a line, or live bugs along the mattress seams. They spread room to room, so early matters.
- Rats or mice in the walls or attic. Scratching at night, droppings, gnawed wiring or a musty smell. Rodents chew wires, and a nest in the attic can start a fire.
- A wasp or hornet nest by a door. A nest where people walk or kids play is a sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy. Don't knock it down yourself.
- Mud tubes or swarming winged insects. Pencil-wide mud tubes on a foundation, or winged insects drifting out of a wall in spring, point to termites.
- Animals in the attic or chimney. Thumping, chittering or a strong smell from the ceiling usually means squirrels, raccoons or bats. Rules on removal vary by state.
- Bites you can't explain. Welts on ankles can mean fleas, and clusters on the arms or neck can mean bed bugs or mosquitoes. See a doctor about a bad reaction.
