Permits, licenses and your utility
In California, licenses for structural pest control come from the Structural Pest Control Board. In apartments, pests often move between units, so let your landlord or building manager know when you schedule a treatment.
The city delivers a blend of SFPUC water, Valley Water supply and local wells. Sunnyvale grew from fruit orchards into a center of the tech industry. Wastewater from homes here goes to the city's Water Pollution Control Plant, and permits run through the City of Sunnyvale Community Development Department. Afternoon breezes off the Bay are common in summer.
Before you call
Clear the areas where you see activity so the tech can inspect.
Make a list of questions so nothing gets forgotten during the visit.
Quick answers
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on the pest. Roaches and bed bugs often take more than one visit. Ants and spiders may clear up in one visit, while roaches, rodents and bed bugs usually need follow-ups spaced a few weeks apart.
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.
