Residential Pest Control in Marina, CA
101 Exterminators provides residential pest control in Marina across all three of the city's housing eras — the pre-1960 blocks in Old Marina, the Fort Ord-era tract homes that make up most of the city, and the newer slab-on-grade houses in Sea Haven and The Dunes at University Park. Pocket gophers, ground-nesting yellow jackets, Argentine ants, and rodents off the open space are the regular work. We take calls in English and Spanish. SPCB Lic. #9119.

Common Questions
Residential Pest Control FAQs for Marina
What pests will I deal with at a Marina house that I would not in Salinas?
Pocket gophers and in-ground yellow jackets, mostly, and both come down to the sand. Marina's loose dune soil is far easier to tunnel and excavate than the clay soils inland, so gopher activity that would be unusual in a Salinas yard is routine here, and yellow jackets nest underground instead of in the open. In exchange, Marina's cool summers spare you the heat-driven ant invasions inland homes get every July.
I just bought a Fort Ord-era home in Central Marina. What should be sealed first?
Start with the crawl-space vents, the eave gaps, and the pipe penetrations under the sinks and behind the water heater — those three are the standard weak points in Marina's 1960s and 1970s tract construction. Re-screen the vents with corrosion-resistant mesh instead of galvanized, because salt air here works through plated screen and leaves an open hole behind the drifted sand. That work usually accomplishes more than any treatment.
Do you have Spanish-speaking technicians for service in Marina?
Yes — our office staff and our technicians work in English and Spanish. About 37% of Marina residents speak a language other than English at home, so this comes up often. You can schedule, walk the property, and go through the inspection findings in Spanish, and we will explain what is being applied and where before any work starts. Mention it when you call and we will assign accordingly.
