Pest control in San Rafael
Free mosquitofish delivery is available for permanent ponds and water features in San Rafael through Marin/Sonoma Mosquito and Vector Control District. Mosquito-control service is another request residents can make. The district treats in-ground yellowjacket nests free when the location is known and marked. Bee colonies, aerial wasp nests and nests inside structures are excluded. For rodents, residents can ask for advice and an inspection. If a structural nest problem needs a private company, the Structural Pest Control Board distinguishes the company registration from a worker's individual credential; an Applicator applies pesticides for a registered business in Branch 2 or Branch 3.
Field Representatives may inspect and contract for their registered employer in their credentialed branches; Operators have those duties and can own the company. None of those individual credentials permits contracting on the holder's own behalf outside a registered company. If the insect hasn't been identified, district headquarters accepts specimens by mail or drop-off for identification. The published phone route for yellowjacket service is 707-285-2200.

Licensing and rules for pest control in San Rafael
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.
