Pests in Palo Alto
What we deal with most around Palo Alto, CA
In leafy neighborhoods, pests come at a house from the garden. Ants trail in from planting beds and mulch, spiders build in shrubs and under eaves, and cockroaches use plumbing and drains to get from outdoors to the kitchen. Carpenter ants and termites go after wood that stays damp, including fences, trellises, decks and framing near irrigation.
Rodents are a year-round concern where there are mature trees and dense plantings, because mice and rats can run along branches and fences and squeeze through small gaps into attics and garages. Wasps nest in sheltered spots, and fleas ride in on pets. Ticks can be a concern near parks and brushy edges, so checking pets and clothing after time outdoors is a sound habit.
Weather and pests
How Palo Alto's weather affects pest activity
Palo Alto's weather is mild all year. July highs average only about 79 degrees, and September is the warmest month. January lows come in around 39 degrees, and December is the coldest month. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
The area receives about 15 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and February is the wettest month at roughly 3.2 inches. No snow accumulates. Only about 12 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, though about 14 nights fall to 32 degrees or below, so a handful of cold mornings do arrive each winter.
Because summers stay comfortable and winters are mild, insects and rodents can stay active for most of the year. Wet months push ants and rodents indoors, and warm, dry stretches bring spiders and wasps closer to the house. Keep plants trimmed away from siding, seal gaps around pipes and vents, and fix leaks to keep the odds in your favor.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Palo Alto
Ant treatment in Palo Alto
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Palo Alto, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Palo Alto
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto
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 Palo Alto home is built.
Cockroach control in Palo Alto
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 Palo Alto apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Palo Alto
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 Palo Alto
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Palo Alto. 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.
