Pest Control in Clovis, CA

Clovis bills itself as the "Gateway to the Sierras," and its rapid growth has pushed master-planned communities like Loma Vista and Harlan Ranch out onto what was recently farmland and orchard. That transition is the source of most new-home pest calls. Gophers and ground squirrels that lived under the old fields move straight into the fresh, irrigated lawns, undermining sod and flower beds. Argentine ant colonies displaced by construction regroup in the new landscaping and trail indoors through weep screens and slab edges during the first hot summers.

Old Town Clovis is the opposite story. The older bungalows and pre-war homes around the original downtown have the wood construction and decades of settling that drywood and subterranean termites exploit — exposed eaves, aging sill plates and wood-to-soil contact. Mature street trees that shade those neighborhoods also give roof rats an easy route to the roofline. Across both old and new Clovis, the Valley’s hot summers drive ants and spiders, and winter brings the rodent push indoors.
