Taft has just under 7,000 residents and a very dry, hot climate, with barely six inches of precipitation a year. In a place like this, water is what pests chase.

We rely on natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets.

Pests in Taft
What we deal with most around Taft, CA
In dry country, pests concentrate around whatever moisture they can find. Ants build nests beneath patios and along irrigation lines, cockroaches gather near water heaters, drains and under sinks, and spiders stay close to the insects that gather around porch lights. Wasps take advantage of eaves and shaded corners, and mosquitoes will breed in any container or low spot that holds water for a few days.
Rodents look for shade, food and water in garages, sheds and attics, especially when summer heat drives them to seek cooler spaces. Fleas do well where pets nap in shade. Termites can still be a hidden issue wherever wood meets soil. The heat speeds up breeding, so acting early usually saves time and effort.
Weather and pests
How Taft's weather affects pest activity
Taft is hot and dry. The numbers here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast. July highs average about 99 degrees, July is the warmest month, and roughly 113 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher.
January is the coldest month, with lows averaging around 40, and only about 7 nights a year fall at or below freezing. Precipitation is about 6 inches in a typical year, with no measurable snow, and February is the wettest month at only 1.2 inches. Even a small amount of rain can trigger a surge of ants and other insects.
Heat, not cold, sets the calendar. Treat the outside of the house in spring before the hottest weeks, keep sprinklers pointed away from the foundation and fix drips through summer, and seal gaps around doors and pipes before cooler nights push rodents indoors.

How we fix it
Pest control services in Taft
Ant treatment in Taft
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Taft, 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 Taft
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Taft 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 Taft
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 Taft home is built.
Cockroach control in Taft
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 Taft apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Taft
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 Taft
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Taft. 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.
