Pest control in Antioch
Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District offers exterior rat and mouse inspections and advice for Antioch residents, but its employees don't bait or set traps. Rat requests must concern your own property. Ask about those limits before arranging control work. For skunks, district staff assess residential properties for habitation and recommend deterrents and exclusion measures. A skunk inspection can be requested online or at 925-771-6186. Yellowjacket ground nests must be dry and untreated before district treatment.
Tell the agency if anything has already been applied to the nest. The district doesn't treat bee hives in structures or on private property.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Antioch
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.
