Pest control in Arroyo Grande
San Luis Obispo County doesn't provide mosquito surveillance or abatement services for Arroyo Grande residents. For a problem involving a pest-control company or fumigation, the county does have a complaint route through Agriculture/Weights & Measures. Buying or using ordinary over-the-counter homeowner pesticides doesn't require a permit or special licensing. Restricted pesticides have different requirements: purchase, use and storage require a county restricted-materials permit and applicator certification. For suspected illegal spraying, the county asks for a report while the application is happening, including what you saw, when it happened and where it occurred.
The local pesticide-complaint office is at 810 West Branch in Arroyo Grande. Call (805) 473-7090. Outside business hours, the complaint program also lists (800) 528-9333. For company registration checks, a pesticide inspector at (805) 781-5910 can confirm whether a business is registered to work in the county. It also accepts those complaints.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Arroyo Grande
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.
