Pest control in Newport Beach
Mosquitofish pickup is currently suspended through Orange County's vector district; Newport Beach residents can request delivery of free fish for their own property. The district also accepts service requests for mosquitoes, red imported fire ants, rats and flies. To find possible entrances and conditions drawing rats, inspectors examine the outside of the home and its yard. That scope doesn't promise indoor trapping or repairs. For insect specimens, an identification form is required and is available alongside fish-delivery requests at ocvector.org/our-services.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Newport Beach
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.
