Local conditions
Common Pest Problems in Palo Alto
Palo Alto sits in California, and the pests that call homeowners there follow the local climate and housing. The calls that come from Palo Alto cover everything from ants and roaches in the kitchen to rodents in the attic, and the companies on the other end know the local housing, from slab homes to older basements and crawl spaces.
- Fire ants. Mounds appear in lawns and along driveways after rain, and the stings are painful for kids and pets.
- Ants after every rain. Argentine ants trail into kitchens when the weather changes, and roof rats use fences, wires and palms to reach attics.
- Termites, fleas and wildlife. Drywood termites work through framing without touching the ground, and mild winters keep fleas, spiders and squirrels active.
- Termites in California. California sits in the heavy termite zone, so wood-to-soil contact, mulch against siding and moisture at the foundation are worth watching.
- Winter and rodents. Winters are mild enough that rodents and insects stay active all year.

When to Call an Exterminator in Palo Alto Right Away
- Bed bugs in the bedroom. Small rust-colored spots on the sheets, itchy welts in a line, or live bugs along the mattress seams. They spread room to room, so early matters.
- Rats or mice in the walls or attic. Scratching at night, droppings, gnawed wiring or a musty smell. Rodents chew wires, and a nest in the attic can start a fire.
- A wasp or hornet nest by a door. A nest where people walk or kids play is a sting risk, especially for anyone with an allergy. Don't knock it down yourself.
- Mud tubes or swarming winged insects. Pencil-wide mud tubes on a foundation, or winged insects drifting out of a wall in spring, point to termites.
- Animals in the attic or chimney. Thumping, chittering or a strong smell from the ceiling usually means squirrels, raccoons or bats. Rules on removal vary by state.
- Bites you can't explain. Welts on ankles can mean fleas, and clusters on the arms or neck can mean bed bugs or mosquitoes. See a doctor about a bad reaction.

Is termite risk high in Palo Alto?
California sits in the heavy termite zone, so wood-to-soil contact, mulch against siding and moisture at the foundation are worth watching. A termite inspection report costs about $110 to $280 and is the one lenders ask for in many home sales.
What should I do before the exterminator arrives?
Don't spray store-bought products where you saw the pest, because it can scatter them. Keep kids and pets away from the area, put food in sealed containers and write down where and when you see the pest. Photos help the technician.
