Residential Pest Control in San Francisco, CA

Customized to Your Home, Your Family, Your Pest Pressures

Your home is your largest investment and most personal space. Pest problems — whether a drywood termite infestation quietly consuming structural framing, a rodent colony nesting in the attic, or a recurring ant invasion from seasonal Argentine ant supercolonies — represent both financial damage and quality-of-life disruption. Serving San Francisco and surrounding San Francisco County.

Why San Francisco Homes Need Residential Services

Homes across our four-county service area face different pest pressures based on age, location, and proximity to agriculture or open space. A 1950s craftsman in Monterey has very different termite and moisture risks than a 2010 construction home in Morgan Hill. A Salinas property adjacent to fields faces different rodent pressure than a Santa Cruz hill home. We tailor our recommendations based on your property's specific context.

Drywood termites in pre-1940 framing are the dominant concern. Subterranean termites active in fog-belt soil. Real estate transaction volume is among the highest in California — WDO inspections are a routine part of every property sale. Swarm season May–October for drywood; February–April for subterranean.

San Francisco Climate

San Francisco's marine climate — persistent fog, moderate temperatures, and year-round mild humidity — supports continuous termite colony activity without winter dormancy. Western neighborhoods (Sunset, Richmond) stay foggy and moist; eastern neighborhoods (Mission, Castro, Noe Valley) are warmer, favoring drywood termite swarm activity May–October.

Housing Stock

The city has approximately 20,000+ pre-1915 Victorian and Edwardian structures, many with original old-growth redwood and fir framing never comprehensively treated for termites. Row house configurations — where buildings share party walls — allow colony spread without typical swarming evidence. Post-1906 and post-WWII construction have separate but significant termite vulnerabilities.

Why Local Expertise Matters

San Francisco termite work is a specialty. Row house fumigation logistics, the city's pesticide ordinances, historic building treatment constraints, and the specific WDO reporting format expected by SF real estate agents all require local expertise. We hold SPCB License #9119 and have direct experience with these city-specific factors.
