What Hayward housing means for pest control
BART has Hayward and South Hayward stations. Hillside homes have views over the Bay.
Hayward Regional Shoreline runs along the Bay. Gaps where utility lines enter the house are easy entry points for rodents. The Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center is on the marsh.
The first winter rains often push ants indoors in big trails. Many homes sit on slab foundations.

Permits, licenses and your utility
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.
Most homes are 1950s and 1960s tract houses. Hayward once had major fruit canneries. In short, water comes from Hayward Water, sewer service from the city's Water Pollution Control Facility, and permits come from the City of Hayward Building Division.
What to have ready
Keep a sample or a clear photo of the pest in a sealed bag if you can.
Think about the best times for access, especially if you share a driveway or gate.
Quick answers
What info helps the company?
Describe the pest, where you see it, how long it has been there and any photos. Photos of droppings or the insects themselves help the company identify what they are dealing with before they arrive.
Are there signs of termites I can look for?
Mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood and discarded wings near windows are common clues. A pro can confirm what they are.
How do mice get into a house?
Mice can squeeze through gaps about the size of a dime. Gaps around pipes, vents and doors are common entry points worth sealing.

Does pest control in Hayward need a permit?
