General Pest Management
Consistent Protection, Not Repeated Emergencies
Monthly · Bi-Monthly · Quarterly Prevention Programs
Reactive pest control — calling an exterminator only when you have a visible infestation — is more expensive, more disruptive, and less effective than prevention-based maintenance. 101 Exterminators' general pest control programs use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles to stop insects and arachnids before they establish inside your home or business.
How We Work
Our Process
Every service follows a structured protocol designed to deliver effective, lasting results — not a temporary fix.
Initial Inspection & Assessment
We walk the property thoroughly — exterior perimeter, garage, crawl space access points, interior corners, and utility penetrations — to understand pest pressure and entry points.
First Treatment
A comprehensive initial treatment targets active pests and establishes a chemical barrier. We treat entry points, nesting areas, and conducive conditions with EPA-registered products.
Scheduled Maintenance Visits
Return visits maintain the barrier and address any seasonal pest pressure changes. We keep records of each visit so you can see the history of protection on your property.
Free Re-Treatments
If pests breach the barrier between visits, call us. We return at no charge as part of your plan — because our goal is actual pest-free results, not just completed appointments.

20+ years of service across four Central California counties. CA licensed, insured, and backed by a genuine satisfaction guarantee.
IPM-Based Approach
Integrated Pest Management means we inspect first, identify species, seal entry points, and treat with the minimum necessary product — not a blanket spray of everything.
Documented Service History
Every visit is documented. You receive a service record showing what was treated, what products were used, and what we found — important for rental properties, health inspections, and peace of mind.
Free Re-Treatment Guarantee
Between scheduled visits, if you see activity we treated for, call us. We come back at no additional charge. This is our commitment, not a fine-print exclusion.
Child & Pet Aware Products
We use EPA-registered products applied in targeted areas, not broadcast indoors. We discuss any pet or child safety considerations with you before every treatment.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have pest control done?
For most Central California homes, quarterly service (every 3 months) provides excellent protection. Properties near agricultural land, with heavy vegetation, or with a history of ant problems benefit from bi-monthly (every 8 weeks) service. Restaurants, multi-family housing, and food-service businesses typically need monthly service.
What pests are covered under general pest control?
Our general pest programs cover ants (all species including Argentine ants and carpenter ants), spiders (including black widows), cockroaches, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, millipedes, pantry moths, and most crawling insects. Bed bugs, rodents, termites, and wasps/bees are handled under separate specialized programs due to the different treatment approaches required.
Do I need to be home during service?
For exterior-only maintenance visits, you do not need to be home — we can service the perimeter and send you a service report. For interior visits or new inspections, someone 18 or older should be present to provide access.
How long does a general pest control treatment last?
Modern residual products are formulated to last 60–90 days under normal conditions. Factors like heavy rain, high-traffic areas, and sunlight exposure can reduce residual life. Our scheduled program intervals account for these factors.
