Termite Exterminators

Around Bakersfield, swarms typically appear spring (subterranean) and late summer (drywood). A swarm, or a pile of discarded wings, is often the first visible sign and a good reason to schedule an inspection.

Often, yes. In California, a wood-destroying-organism (WDO) or "termite letter" inspection is a routine part of home sales, so many Bakersfield buyers and lenders expect one.

The short list for Bakersfield is black widow spiders, Argentine ants, and German cockroaches. Which one is worst depends on your home and the time of year, so a local inspection helps.

Bakersfield sees activity year-round in the mild climate, peaking in warm months. Mosquitoes peak May through October, while rodents are worst in the cold months.

In Kern County, black widow spiders can be a problem well beyond summer. Year-round prevention is often the best approach in this Mediterranean climate.

It depends on the pest, the size of your Bakersfield home, and the treatment. Getting matched and quoted is free, and you only pay the local pro for work you approve.

Make a quick list of where you have spotted pests and any damage, then clear access to those spots. The local pro handles the rest.
