Pest control in Thousand Oaks
Ventura County's Vector Control Program takes mosquito complaints at (805) 658-4310 and mosquitofish requests at (805) 662-6582. For Thousand Oaks, this is the county program contact; its page describes countywide service rather than naming the city individually. Ask the program about a mosquito complaint before deciding what private pest work to buy. The Environmental Health Division administers it within Ventura County's Resource Management Agency. The Mosquito Source Checklist is available from the county, alongside its Vector Control Program pamphlet and the rat brochure titled How to Prevent and Control Rats.
Use the checklist to describe mosquitoes around your home to staff, or consult the rat brochure for the county's prevention and control guidance on rodents. County monitoring includes mosquitoes at more than 2,000 potential breeding sources, plus surveillance for plague, Lyme disease and hantavirus; mosquitoes, rodents and ticks are among the vectors the program identifies as common locally. California's West Nile table, updated October 16, 2026, listed seven positive dead birds and one positive mosquito sample for Ventura County.
No human-case figure was printed. The dash in that column isn't a reported zero. These are county figures, not a count for your neighborhood. The county's dead-bird reporting number is 1-877-968-2473.

Licensing and rules for pest control in Thousand Oaks
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.
