Who We Are
Built in Salinas. Trusted Across Four Counties.
Our pest-control work in the region dates to 2005, and 101 Exterminators is based in Salinas, in the agricultural heart of Monterey County. The service territory spans coastal, valley, mountain, suburban, and urban properties, so pest identification and treatment planning need to account for the building and the conditions at the specific property rather than relying on one regional script.
Our team brings deep regional knowledge that national chains simply cannot match. We know that drywood termites favor the older fir framing in Monterey's Victorian-era homes. We know that gopher pressure escalates near Salinas's irrigation borders. We know that spring rain in Santa Cruz drives dampwood termite activity in ways that differ completely from what you'd see in Hollister's hot inland climate.
That regional context matters most when it is paired with what a technician can verify at the property. We explain what we found, the conditions contributing to the problem, the available service options, and what the recommended next step is.
We publish our California Structural Pest Control license number so customers can verify the current record directly with the state. Our service pages cover general pest control, termite work, rodent control, bed bugs, inspections, fumigation, and related structural pest services. Current third-party ratings remain available on their source profiles.
What We Stand For
Our Principles
These aren't marketing words. They are the standards we hold ourselves to on every service call, in every county, for every customer.
Safety First — Always
We use registered products according to their labels and explain the recommended treatment before work begins. The goal is a clear plan based on the pest and the conditions at the property.
Integrated Pest Management
Integrated Pest Management starts with inspection, identification, exclusion, sanitation, and moisture correction where they apply, then uses targeted treatment when it is appropriate.
Honesty Over Sales
We won't recommend a treatment you don't need. If a one-time service solves your problem, we'll say so. Long-term relationships matter more to us than upselling.
Community Roots
Our office is in Salinas and our service pages publish the cities and counties we cover. Customers work with one local office for scheduling, service questions, and follow-up.
