Services we provide in Kensington, CA
Raccoon Removal in Kensington, CA
If you've heard heavy footsteps or scratching in the ceiling after dark in Kensington, that's the classic raccoon pattern -- they're nocturnal, they're strong, and they don't leave quietly. We handle raccoon calls across Contra Costa County year-round, not just in spring den season. With a wide range of Mediterranean, coastal, and inland desert conditions depending on the region, Kensington rarely gives raccoons a reason to fully den down for winter the way they might farther north, so we see steady calls across most of the year rather than one short season.

Skunk Removal in Kensington, CA
A skunk denning under a Kensington home is a different job than most wildlife calls -- move too fast or corner the animal wrong, and you get sprayed. We've built our process around avoiding that outcome for both the technician and the property. Kensington sees a wide range of Mediterranean, coastal, and inland desert conditions depending on the region. Skunks don't fully hibernate in conditions like this, so we see activity most of the year, with a clear uptick in late winter and spring when females are denning to have young.

Mosquito Control in Kensington, CA
Mosquitoes only need about a bottle cap of standing water to breed, which is why Kensington yards with gutters, drainage issues, or nearby low ground stay problem spots season after season without ongoing treatment. Kensington sees a wide range of Mediterranean, coastal, and inland desert conditions depending on the region. That kind of warmth and moisture is close to ideal for mosquito breeding cycles, which is why Kensington properties often need control from spring through fall rather than a single treatment.

Rat Control in Kensington, CA
We get steady rat and mouse calls in Contra Costa County, particularly in older homes and anywhere food waste is accessible outside. Exclusion matters as much as baiting here -- a rat can squeeze through a gap the size of a quarter. Rodent pressure in Kensington tends to rise whenever outdoor food sources -- trash, pet food, bird feeders -- are easy to reach, which is a bigger driver here than the season itself.

Roach Control in Kensington, CA
Roach calls in Kensington almost always start in the kitchen or bathroom, and by the time they're visible during the day, the population is usually well established behind walls and under appliances. We treat with gel bait and targeted crack-and-crevice application rather than a visible spray, because that's what actually breaks the breeding cycle. German roaches in particular can maintain an indoor population in Kensington year-round once established, since they rely on warm, moist indoor microclimates rather than outdoor conditions.

Bed Bug Treatment in Kensington, CA
Bed bugs in Kensington don't care how clean a home is -- they travel in luggage, used furniture, and shared laundry facilities, which is why we see them in every part of Contra Costa County, not just older housing. Our treatment combines heat and targeted chemical application because bed bugs have grown resistant to many sprays used alone. Kensington sees a wide range of Mediterranean, coastal, and inland desert conditions depending on the region. Bed bugs are actually less dependent on outdoor climate than most pests since they live entirely indoors, which is why we treat bed bug calls in Kensington on a year-round basis with no real seasonal dip.

Prevention checklist for Kensington homes
One quick habit for each pest we cover here -- the full guide for each service has a longer checklist.
- Raccoon Removal: Trim tree limbs back at least 6-8 feet from the roofline -- raccoons use overhanging branches as a bridge onto the roof.
- Skunk Removal: Treat the lawn for grubs if digging holes are widespread -- skunks are foraging for a food source, and removing it makes the yard less attractive.
- Mosquito Control: Check for water pooling in tire ruts, low patches of yard, or under AC unit drip lines after it rains.
- Rat Control: Keep outdoor trash in cans with tight-fitting lids, and don't leave bagged garbage out overnight.
- Roach Control: Store food, including pet food, in sealed containers rather than the original packaging.
- Bed Bug Treatment: If you live in a multi-unit building and suspect an infestation, notify management promptly; shared walls and hallways can let bed bugs spread between units.
