Pest problems we solve
Pest control for every Fresno pest
From the everyday invaders to the emergencies that can’t wait — each service starts with an inspection and an up-front price.
Living in the Central Valley means living alongside the pests that farm country produces. Irrigated yards and surrounding orchards feed enormous ant colonies; citrus and shade trees carry roof rats to the roofline; older wood eaves hide drywood termites; new block walls shelter black widows; and the canals and river bottoms keep mosquitoes and West Nile in play all summer. We treat the full range, and we match the plan to the pest rather than selling one blanket spray for everything.

One plan that covers the ants, roaches, spiders and mice Fresno homes see year-round.

Termites in Fresno
Drywood vs. subterranean — we treat both
Fresno homes face two very different termites, and treating the wrong one wastes your money. Drywood termites live inside dry wood — the eaves, window frames and attic rafters of older homes — and leave little piles of pellet-like frass. Subterranean termites nest in the soil and build mud tubes up the foundation to reach wood.
We inspect first, confirm which you have, and match the treatment to the colony — local spot treatment for contained drywood, a soil barrier for subterranean, and fumigation planning only when an infestation is truly widespread. Selling or buying? We also handle the WDO termite reports escrow requires.


How service works
Four simple steps
No mystery visits and no surprise bills — here is exactly how a job runs from the first call to the follow-up.
1. Inspect
We identify the pests and the conditions feeding them, inside and out.
2. Plan & price
You get a written scope and a firm, itemized quote before we start.
3. Treat
We treat the source and build a protective barrier with low-odor products.
4. Follow up
We confirm it worked and protect ahead of the next seasonal surge.
Plans & pricing
Pest control plans, priced before you call back
Ask most Fresno pest companies for a price and you get a “free estimate” form. We don’t work that way — we inspect, then put an itemized price in writing before any work starts.
One-time
Best for a single flare-up — a wasp nest or one ant trail.
Bi-monthly
Every other month (six visits a year). The usual fit for ants, spiders and general prevention.
Quarterly
Lighter pressure and a tighter budget — four visits a year.
Monthly
Heavy ant or roach pressure, rental turnover and commercial kitchens.
What pest control costs in Fresno
We price each job after a free inspection, so your number reflects your home, the pest and the plan — not a one-size quote. For context only, a 2025 third-party Central Valley pricing guide put a typical initial general-pest service around $150–$200 and recurring visits around $80–$120, with initial rodent work around $175–$450. Treat those as published local benchmarks, not our rates — every job still needs a written estimate.
Benchmarks as of 2025; page reviewed 2026. Rodent exclusion (sealing entry points) is quoted in writing after an attic and crawlspace inspection, never by phone.
Our itemized-billing promise
- Every quote lists the initial service, each follow-up and the cancellation terms.
- No start-up fee surprises — we state any fee before you agree.
- The price on the quote is the price on the invoice.
- Compare at least three written quotes line by line before you hire anyone.
Why J&J Pest Control
Local, honest, and built for the Valley
We built this company around the complaints homeowners have about pest companies here: vague pricing, skipped inspections and problems that come right back. Here is how we do it differently.
Priced before you call us back
We quote an itemized price before any work starts. The No. 1 complaint about pest companies here is confusing billing — we fix that with an up-front number.
We check the attic and crawlspace
Rodent and termite problems hide where other techs skip. We inspect the attic and crawlspace, not just the perimeter, so the real source gets treated.
Same-day for true emergencies
Call by noon, Monday through Saturday, and we aim to reach genuine emergencies — stinging insects, rodents indoors — the same day within our area.
Re-service guarantee
If covered pests come back between scheduled visits on a recurring plan, we come back at no extra charge. The plan has to earn its keep.
Pet- and family-safe options
Low-odor products, targeted placements, and bait kept out of reach of kids and pets — with your sensitivities noted before we treat.
Built for the Valley’s seasons
We time service to Fresno’s cycle — ahead of summer ants and the winter rat push — instead of reacting after the pests are already inside.
Before you hire anyone
How to vet a Fresno pest control company
Pest control in Fresno has a trust problem: the category averages just 3.7 stars on Angi across about 170 reviews, and the common complaints are confusing charges, no one answering, and technicians who only spray the perimeter. A few checks protect you from all three — use them on us and on anyone else you call.
- Verify the license. Structural pest control is licensed by the California Structural Pest Control Board (SPCB), under the Department of Consumer Affairs. Look up any company on the SPCB license lookup before you sign.
- Ask who actually shows up. Some “networks” refer your job to an unnamed subcontractor. Our own technicians — longtime customers know Pierre, Jim, Chris and Wil by name — do the work.
- Get it itemized in writing. Initial service, follow-ups and cancellation terms, before you agree.
- Insist on the attic and crawlspace. For rodents and termites, that’s where the problem hides — a perimeter-only spray misses it.
Family, pets & rain
Safe treatments, done to the label
If you have kids or pets, tell us up front and we’ll explain which products we use, where they go, and when it’s safe to re-enter treated areas. We apply everything to the label and to California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) rules, and we favor targeted placements over open-floor spraying.
Rain matters in the Valley. Treatments applied before a storm can wash into storm drains and local waterways — a concern the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District and the Clean Stormwater Partners initiative work on locally. We use rain-safe products where possible and reschedule when the forecast is wrong for the job.

Never see a pest in my house. J&J is the best. Very kind office staff. Pierre has sprayed for us for many years and we feel like we have family coming when he's on his way.
Jim came out and sprayed our house for the first time today and he was very knowledgeable and kind. From the first phone call to them, the customer service is outstanding. Prices are fair, and a locally owned business. Recommend!
Wasps were coming in my home. I have little kids. They came the same day although the schedule was full. They made a extra trip just for me. I would recommend JandJ to anyone!!
Pierre does a great job at our house. We had an ant problem for years, now we don't see a single one. Thank you!
Chris, the technician who services my brother’s house is awesome! Very helpful and friendly, does a great job
I used J&J Pest Control last year for their mosquito control service and bees. I was extremely impressed with their work. Not only did they effectively eliminate the mosquitoes from my yard, but their team was also knowledgeable and professional.
About J&J Pest Control
A local pest control team for the Central Valley
J&J Pest Control serves homes, farm-edge properties and businesses across Fresno and the surrounding Valley. We’re built around the way pests actually behave here — the Argentine ants and roof rats that come in from irrigated farmland, the drywood termites in older eaves, the black widows in new block walls, and the winter rat season that pushes rodents indoors.
No referral runaround and no mystery subcontractor: you get an inspection, a written scope, an up-front price, and a re-service guarantee on recurring plans.

The Valley pest calendar
What peaks when in Fresno
Fresno’s pests run on a calendar, and timing service to it beats reacting after the fact. Spring brings termite and bee swarms and the first ant trails. Summer’s triple-digit heat drives ants, roaches and crickets indoors toward water, and mosquito and West Nile pressure peaks near canals and river bottoms.
Late summer and fall turn aggressive yellowjackets loose and send field mice and rats toward homes as orchards are harvested and disked. Winter is the Valley’s peak rat season, when cooling nights push roof rats and Norway rats indoors — which is why fall rodent-proofing pays off. A recurring plan refreshes your protection ahead of each surge.
That rhythm is why a single spring spray rarely holds a Fresno home for the whole year. Our recurring plans are built around the calendar: we reinforce the exterior barrier before summer ants arrive, seal entry points ahead of the fall rodent push, and keep an eye on the stinging-insect and mosquito pressure that spikes with the heat. Between visits, the re-service guarantee means covered pests that return are our problem, not yours.

The Valley pest calendar
Fresno pests by season
What peaks when across the Valley, the signs to watch for, and how we treat it. Timing service to this calendar beats reacting after the pests are inside.
| Pest | Peak season | Warning signs | Recommended treatment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rats & mice | Winter (rat season peaks) | Droppings, gnaw marks, scratching in the attic or walls | Attic & crawlspace inspection, entry-point sealing, trapping |
| Ants (Argentine) | Year-round; worst in summer heat | Trails on counters; lines from windows, doors and outlets | Find the source, bait the colony, treat the perimeter |
| Black widows & spiders | Warm months; heat pushes them indoors | Messy webs and egg sacs in garages, woodpiles and corners | Web & egg-sac removal, garage and perimeter treatment |
| Mosquitoes | Summer (West Nile season) | Biting at dusk; standing water; wet or canal-edge yards | Remove standing water, then a yard barrier program |
| Cockroaches | Year-round; summer spikes | Night activity near sinks and appliances; egg cases | Gel baiting, growth regulator, follow-up visits |
| Bed bugs | Year-round (travel-driven) | Bites in rows; blood spots and dark specks on mattress seams | Inspection, targeted treatment, a follow-up visit |
| Gophers & ground squirrels | Spring–fall on farm-edge lots | Burrows and mounds by foundations, slabs and lawns | Trapping and burrow control around the structure |
Seasonal timing reflects what our technicians see across Fresno and the Central Valley. Peak periods vary year to year with weather and harvest.
Get ready
What to do before the technician arrives
A few minutes of prep makes the visit faster and the treatment more effective. Most of it is about not making the problem harder to find — or more dangerous — before we get there.
- Swarming ants: don’t spray — it scatters the colony. Photograph the trail and where it starts.
- Rodents: note where you see droppings, gnaw marks or noise; don’t handle droppings bare-handed.
- Black widows: wear gloves and shake out items stored in garages and on woodpiles.
- Bed bugs: don’t move bedding or furniture to other rooms — it spreads them.
- Mosquitoes: dump standing water in saucers, buckets, toys and gutters.
- Photograph anything you can — it helps us arrive with the right products.
Service area
Serving Fresno & the Central Valley
From our Fresno base we cover the county and the wider Valley — same-day for the closest towns, scheduled windows for the farther Valley and foothills.
Clovis, Tarpey Village and Easton are typically about 15 minutes out; Sanger, Kerman and Selma 20–25; Madera and Friant around 30. Reedley, Kingsburg, Hanford, Visalia and Dinuba round out the Tier 2 towns, and we reach rural and farm-edge properties in between. Tell us your address and the pest, and we’ll give you an honest arrival window rather than a promise we can’t keep — then a firm, itemized price before any work starts.
Inside Fresno we work neighborhoods like The Willows, Belgravia, Lafayette, West Park and Mayfair, and homes near the Fresno Zoo, across ZIP codes including 93702, 93720, 93721, 93727 and 93729. Properties on the edge of orchards and fields get repeat rodent and spider pressure that generic service doesn’t fix — on those lots we inspect the outbuildings, woodpiles and fence lines, not just the house, and set the schedule to match what pushes pests toward your property.
