Pest control in Anaheim
Anaheim's traps caught 1,135 female mosquitoes in the week of October 5 to 9, 2026, by the Orange County Mosquito and Vector Control District's count. The district tested 52 pools from the city that week. Three were positive. That brings Anaheim to 178 West Nile positive samples so far this year. The district rates West Nile risk in the county as HIGH. The state's 2026 West Nile county table, dated October 29, 2026, lists Orange County with 57 human cases, 119 positive dead birds, 902 positive mosquito samples; no figure is shown for positive sentinel chickens, positive horses.
These are countywide 2026 year-to-date totals, not city-specific. A missing figure is not zero. The count covers the whole county. California as a whole is at a five-year high for activity, the state site says. Mosquitoes aren't all the district handles. Its services page also lists rats, flies and red imported fire ants, so a rat problem can start with a call to (714) 971-2421 or (949) 654-2421. The office is at 13001 Garden Grove Boulevard in Garden Grove.
Anaheim's housing has a median build year of 1973, by the Census for 2020 to 2024. Hiring a pest control company is a separate step. Ask to see its insurance. State law (Business and Professions Code section 8692) requires a registered company to carry at least $500,000 for bodily injury and $500,000 for property damage on any one loss.
What pest control costs near Anaheim
Because no one has sent us a quote from Anaheim, there's no price for the city itself. The California page lists the estimates with what pest control workers are paid ($24.21 an hour in the BLS wage data, which is pay, not price). How we estimate costs.
Licensing and rules for pest control in Anaheim
California licenses pest control through the Structural Pest Control Board, not CSLB, and a company has to be registered with the Board. Ask for the company's registration and the license of whoever will do the work, since applicators, field representatives and operators may work only for a registered company and not on their own. County agricultural commissioners enforce pesticide-use rules locally.
