Pest control in Placerville
Free mosquitofish are available on El Dorado County's West Slope, including the Placerville area. The county cautions that excess supplementary fish food can cause a bacterial bloom toxic to the fish. That warning is a practical part of asking about fish for a water source, rather than assuming more feeding helps the mosquito-control program. County mosquito services run seasonally, usually from late spring into fall. Residents are asked to report abandoned swimming pools and possible mosquito-breeding sources; a report about a pool is therefore a service request the county specifically invites, even when the resident hasn't established exactly where the mosquitoes are developing.
Questions about fish availability or a possible breeding source can go through the Placerville-area mosquito-service contact. The published county number for that area is 530-621-5300.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Placerville
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.
