Homes in Elk Grove: what pros run into
Regional San's main treatment plant is just west of the city. Most homes are tract houses built since the 1990s.
SMUD supplies electricity. Slab homes with landscaping close to the walls give ants and termites an easy path, so keeping mulch back helps. Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge is on the west side.
The first winter rains often push ants indoors in big trails. Laguna and Laguna West were planned communities built in the 1990s.
Utilities, permits and licensing
In California, licenses for structural pest control come from the Structural Pest Control Board. Ask what product will be used, where it will be applied, and how long kids and pets should stay away.
Old Town Elk Grove along Elk Grove Boulevard has buildings from the 1800s. Your water bill comes from the Elk Grove Water District or the Sacramento County Water Agency, depending on your address, sewage is handled by Regional San, and the City of Elk Grove Development Services department issues building permits. Electricity here comes from SMUD, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, and gas from PG&E. Sheldon has larger lots and a rural feel.

Questions from Elk Grove residents
How do I prevent mice?
Seal gaps around pipes and doors, store food in sealed containers and keep clutter down. Mice can squeeze through a gap about the width of a pencil, so small holes around pipes and vents matter.
Why do I see more bugs after a treatment?
Some treatments drive pests out of hiding for a few days. If activity keeps rising after a week or two, call the company back.
What makes Elk Grove a little different for pest control?
Tule fog can settle in on winter mornings. Elk Grove incorporated in 2000. Summer highs often top 95 degrees. Share what you know about your home when you book.
