Pest control in Oroville
Mosquitofish pickup at the Oroville district office requires your own container when you're collecting fish for a small pond, animal trough or unused swimming pool. Butte County Mosquito and Vector Control District also offers pickup at its Chico substation; for a mosquito source of 1 acre or more, call or complete its service-request form to schedule fish delivery. Before release, the district says to keep the fish container in the receiving water for 30 to 60 minutes, or until the water temperatures are nearly equal.
Services are free for mosquitoes, ticks, yellow jackets and other insects or arthropods of concern throughout Butte County, except the small area served by Durham Mosquito Abatement District. For a household pest contractor, California's Structural Pest Control Board requires a registered company with an Operator serving as Qualifying Manager in each branch it conducts. Individual license holders must work for that company. They can't personally accept pest-control contracts. The local fish-program and vector-service contact is the district office at 5117 Larkin Road in Oroville, (530) 533-6038.
What pest control costs near Oroville
Because no one has sent us a quote from Oroville, 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 Oroville
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.
