Pest control in Simi Valley
Ventura County's first Aedes aegypti, an invasive mosquito, was detected in Simi Valley in early September 2020, the county's invasive-Aedes page says. That page belongs to the Vector Control Program of the Ventura County Resource Management Agency's Environmental Health Division. It's a county program. Mosquito complaints go to (805) 658-4310, and requests for mosquitofish go to (805) 662-6582. If rats are the trouble, the program page carries a How to Prevent and Control Rats brochure, and for standing water there's its Mosquito Source Checklist.
Hire a company for the rats and the work falls under B&P 8505, which counts rodents among the household pests that structural pest control covers, from the inspection through the work. The program names mosquitoes, rodents and ticks as the vectors of public health significance commonly found locally, and its staff also watch for plague, Lyme disease and hantavirus. Report a dead bird at 1-877-968-2473. A bird tested West Nile positive in a county 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. Humans get a dash, not zero. Census estimates covering 2020 to 2024 put Simi Valley's median housing year at 1980.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Simi Valley
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.
