What San Jose housing means for pest control

Mineta San José International Airport sits just north of Downtown. The Hayward and Calaveras faults run along the east side of the valley.

Cambrian, Blossom Valley and Evergreen are full of ranch homes with attached garages. Gaps around pipes, vents and doors are common entry points in homes of mixed age. Much of the city was orchard land that turned into tract housing from the 1950s through the 1970s.

Subterranean termites are common in Northern California, and spring swarms are often the first sign. Willow Glen and the Rose Garden have many older bungalows and Spanish Revival houses.

Utilities, permits and licensing

In California, licenses for structural pest control come from the Structural Pest Control Board. Ask which products will be used and whether you need to leave the home or keep pets away. Keep the paperwork that lists the products used, the areas treated and the date of the next visit.

The hills east of the city turn gold by early summer. San José is the largest city in Northern California by population. In short, water comes from San Jose Water, San José Municipal Water or Great Oaks Water, depending on the neighborhood, sewer service from the San José-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility, and permits come from the City of San José Planning, Building and Code Enforcement department.

Quick answers

Do I need to leave the house during treatment?

It depends on the product and method. Ask the company before the visit how long people and pets should stay out of treated areas.

Do you cover West San José and Alum Rock?

Our network reaches West San José, Willow Glen, Cambrian and Evergreen and the rest of San Jose (95002, 95013, 95110, 95111, 95112 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.

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.

Any San Jose details worth mentioning when I call?

The Guadalupe River runs north through Downtown toward the Bay. The Regional Wastewater Facility is one of the largest advanced treatment plants in the western United States. Japantown is one of only a few remaining historic Japantowns in the country. It helps to say roughly when your home was built.

Who issues permits for pest control work in San Jose?

Permits in San Jose go through the City of San José Planning, Building and Code Enforcement department. Not every repair needs one, so ask the pest control company whether yours does when you get the quote.

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