Pest control in Martinez
Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District offers exterior rodent inspections and advice in Martinez at no additional charge to county residents, but staff don't bait or set traps. Residents must request inspections for their own property. For ground-nesting yellowjackets, the district requires a dry, untreated nest and excludes nests on or inside structures. Staff also identify ticks, but don't test specimens submitted by the public for Lyme disease. A private structural pest company operates under California Structural Pest Control Board registration requirements.
Liability coverage must include at least $500,000 for any one bodily-injury loss and $500,000 for any one property-damage loss, including loss of use. Inspection and bid errors-and-omissions coverage is not required. You can report an unmaintained swimming pool anonymously online or at (925) 685-9301.
What pest control costs near Martinez
Because no one has sent us a quote from Martinez, 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 Martinez
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.
