Pest control in Santa Monica
You don't need a stocking permit for mosquitofish in artificial water bodies on Santa Monica residents' own property, the Los Angeles County West Vector Control District says; its free fish program covers artificial ponds and fountains; keep these fish out of natural lakes, rivers and streams. Santa Monica is within the district's service area. To collect fish, go to its office at 6750 Centinela Avenue in Culver City, Monday to Friday, 9:30 am to 3 pm.
For mosquitoes, fire ants, bees or yellow jackets, residents can reach the district at (310) 915-7370. Describe the pest when you call about a service request.
What pest control costs near Santa Monica
Because no one has sent us a quote from Santa Monica, 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 Santa Monica
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.
