Pest control in Oxnard
Three numbers cover mosquitoes in Oxnard, all run by the Ventura County Environmental Health Division's Vector Control Program: (805) 658-4310 for mosquito complaints, (805) 662-6582 for mosquitofish and 1-877-968-2473 for dead birds. There's no separate mosquito district here. County staff monitor and treat more than 2000 potential breeding sources. A bird in the county tested positive for West Nile virus in a release dated May 27, 2026. The state's 2026 West Nile county table, dated October 29, 2026, lists Ventura County with 7 positive dead birds, 1 positive mosquito sample; no figure is shown for human cases, positive sentinel chickens, positive horses.
These are countywide 2026 year-to-date totals, not city-specific. A missing figure is not zero. That blank isn't a zero. Invasive Aedes aegypti were first found in the county in early September 2020, in Simi Valley, the program says. The program's page also carries guidance on rats, with a brochure, on plague, hantavirus and Lyme disease, and on Africanized honey bees, bed bugs and chinch bugs. Staff watch for those three diseases.
The page doesn't say whether the county inspects homes for rats, so ask when you call. Oxnard's median build year is 1977, by Census estimates for 2020 to 2024. Once a company is hired, B&P 8697 has it keep a $12,500 bond with an admitted surety insurer. Ask who the surety is.
What pest control costs near Oxnard
Because no one has sent us a quote from Oxnard, 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 Oxnard
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.
