Local Climate Impact on Pest Control
The Pacific Coast's mild climate supports year-round pest pressure from termites (drywood in CA, subterranean statewide), moisture ants, rats, and invasive spotted lanternfly in the Pacific Northwest.
Top Tip for CA
California drywood termites require a different treatment approach than subterranean termites — tenting (fumigation) is often the only fully effective treatment for severe drywood infestations.
Watch Out For
Moisture ants in the Pacific Northwest are a symptom, not the root cause — they colonize wet, rotting wood. Address the moisture source (leaky roof, wet crawl space) alongside pest treatment.
CA Cost Expectations
Tent fumigation (drywood termites): $1,500–$4,000. Subterranean termite treatment: $500–$1,500. Annual pest control contract: $400–$800.
Best Time to Schedule
Termite swarm season in California peaks February–May. Schedule pre-season inspections in January–February.
Licensing in CA: Contractors in CA are regulated by the California Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Always verify a contractor's license before work begins.
