Chico swings between extremes. Roughly 40 nights a year drop to freezing, and nearly 100 days climb to 90 degrees or higher, so pests here get pushed indoors from both directions. About 103,000 people live in the city, near places such as Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park, Depot Park, Oak Way Park, Wildwood Park and Hancock Park. Homes, apartments and rentals here all get their share of visitors from outdoors.

Pests in Chico
What we deal with most around Chico, CA
Summer heat brings out ants, wasps, mosquitoes and fleas in force, and termites and carpenter ants work inside wood that stays damp. Spiders build in garages, sheds and outdoor storage, and cockroaches look for cool, moist corners in kitchens and bathrooms. Yards near creeks and open ground can also have ticks, so pet owners should check animals after time outdoors.
As the nights cool in fall, the focus shifts. Mice and rats seek out attics and wall voids, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs cluster on sun-warmed walls hoping to find a way inside. Students and renters in multi-unit housing should also keep an eye out for bed bugs, which travel on luggage and used furniture and are not related to cleanliness.
Weather and pests
How Chico's weather affects pest activity
Chico has hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. July highs average about 95 degrees, January lows average around 36, and a typical year brings roughly 27 inches of precipitation. July is the warmest month, January the coldest, and February the wettest at about 5.1 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
About 99 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and around 40 nights fall to freezing. Both extremes matter. Heat speeds up colonies and breeding cycles, while frost drives rodents and overwintering insects toward the warmth of buildings. The rainy stretch around February also soaks foundations and wood, which encourages termites.
A yearly rhythm for Chico could begin in early spring with exterior sealing and treatment as ants wake up. Summer is the time for controlling water sources and checking screens. Before the first frost, close gaps around utility lines, vents and garage doors. Through winter, check attics and crawl spaces for droppings, gnaw marks and noises.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Chico
Ant treatment in Chico
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Chico, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Chico
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Chico buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Chico
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Chico home is built.
Cockroach control in Chico
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Chico apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Chico
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Chico
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Chico. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.

Serving Chico
Depot Park to Wildwood Park and everything between
We work throughout Chico, including the streets around the Senator Theater, El Rey Theater, California State University, Chico, Nettleton Stadium and Verbena Fields. Homes near parks and creeks may see more insects and wildlife, and older wood-framed buildings deserve a careful look at foundations and roof lines.
We also serve Butte Creek Canyon, Nord, Durham, Hamilton City, Cohasset, Butte Valley, Paradise and Magalia. If you are outside town and want to confirm coverage, send your address.
Whether your home is close to Bidwell Mansion, the Chico Air Museum, the Museum of Northern California Art or Nettleton Stadium, our approach is the same: look carefully, explain clearly and choose the gentlest treatment that will work. Older buildings and newer ones each have their own weak points, and we check both.
