Oakland homes, up close

The Hayward Fault runs along the base of the Oakland hills. Rockridge, Temescal and Glenview have many Craftsman bungalows and brown-shingle houses.

The flatlands are often sunnier and warmer than the hills in summer. Shared walls and old foundations in older buildings give mice and roaches easy paths between units. Hillside streets in Montclair are narrow and winding.

Subterranean termites are common in Northern California, and spring swarms are often the first sign. BART runs through Downtown, Fruitvale, Rockridge and West Oakland.

When it's time for a pro

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.

Who runs what: EBMUD, the East Bay Municipal Utility District for water, EBMUD's main wastewater treatment plant near the Bay Bridge for wastewater and the City of Oakland Planning and Building Department for permits. The Port of Oakland is one of the busiest container ports on the West Coast. Many older homes have raised wood foundations with a crawl space or basement.

Before you call

Keep a sample or a clear photo of the pest in a sealed bag if you can.

Have a rough idea of the age of the equipment or fixture involved.

Common questions

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.

What's covered after the visit?

The pro you're matched with in Columbus stands behind the job with a 30-day parts-and-labor warranty. It's written into the contract they sign with us, and they're the ones who honor it.

What makes Oakland a little different for pest control?

The 1991 Oakland Hills firestorm destroyed about 3,000 homes, and the area was rebuilt to newer codes. Lake Merritt is a tidal lagoon in the middle of the city. West Oakland has some of the oldest Victorian houses in the East Bay. Share what you know about your home when you book.

Do you cover Glenview and Laurel?

Our network reaches Glenview, Montclair, Lake Merritt and West Oakland and the rest of Oakland (94601, 94602, 94603, 94605, 94606 and others). Tell us about a gate code, a tight driveway or a dog in the yard so the pro can plan. If nobody's available, we'll tell you.

What is integrated pest management?

It combines prevention, monitoring and targeted treatment to reduce pesticide use. It focuses on fixing the conditions that let pests in, such as moisture, food sources and gaps in the building.

If you're renting in Oakland, check your lease for who handles this repair.
