Sacramento Pest Control answers calls 24/7 for pest control in Old North Sacramento, ZIP 95815, along Del Paso Boulevard and the side streets of bungalows and mid-century homes. A technician treats ants, rodents, termites, spiders and fleas, and you approve the price after it is explained and before any treatment starts.
Old North Sacramento was a city of its own from 1924 until 1964. An election decided by just 6 votes merged it into Sacramento, and it had been the only incorporated city directly next to the capital. The area grew out of the Rancho Del Paso land grant, and its best-known corridor is Del Paso Boulevard.
Today the neighborhood is a patchwork. Quaint bungalows share streets with mid-century modern homes, according to a real-estate listing summary, and a block can hold houses built decades apart. That variety is the main thing a technician has to account for here, because two neighbors can need different treatments for the same insect.
Alleys, dumpsters and older attics near Del Paso Boulevard give rats shelter and food.
Bungalow-era houses in the original townsite often have raised floors that need an under-floor look.
Mid-century homes on the same blocks may sit on slabs, which changes where pests enter.
Pets and open yards make fleas a regular reason to call.
Shops and restaurants along Del Paso Boulevard back onto alleys and trash areas.
Sacramento’s rainless summer, with average highs near 92 °F in July, sends Argentine ants indoors for water, and the first autumn rains in November set off subterranean termite swarms.
Bungalows and mid-century homes can stand a few doors apart in 95815, and they are not always built the same way underneath. Some have raised floors with an accessible crawl space, and others sit on a slab. The technician checks which kind of house it is before choosing an approach, because that decides where termites, ants and rodents can get in.
For a raised house, a look at the crawl space comes first, and crawl space pest control explains what is checked and why. For a slab house, the work centers on the perimeter, plumbing penetrations and cracks, covered under slab home pest control. Either way, a written service report follows the visit.
The neighborhood's history of independence has a practical side. North Sacramento was its own city from 1924 to 1964, so streets, lot sizes and houses were laid out on their own timeline and do not always match the grid south of the river. A technician looks at the lot, not at an assumption about the neighborhood.
Del Paso Boulevard is the neighborhood's main commercial street, and the shops, restaurants and small offices along it back onto alleys, trash areas and houses. Food waste, dumpsters and loading areas give rats and cockroaches a reason to stay close to the buildings.
Commercial pest control for a business on the corridor starts with the points where outside meets inside: door sweeps, drains, dock doors and utility lines. The technician explains the price and the schedule up front, then leaves a written report after each visit. If a problem appears after hours, the phone is answered 24/7.
Back doors and alleys are where most of the work happens. Door sweeps, dumpster lids, drain covers and outdoor lighting all affect how many insects and rodents settle near a building, and the technician explains which changes the owner can make and which the visit will handle.
Sacramento gets about 18 inches of rain in an average year, nearly all of it from November to March, and the months from June through September are almost dry. In that stretch UC IPM says Argentine ants search homes for water, including at bathroom faucets and drains, with workers traveling up to 100 feet from nests in moist soil or under debris.
Rats follow water too. UC IPM lists leaking faucets, sprinkler heads, birdbaths, irrigation, air-conditioner condensate lines, plant saucers and pet bowls as sources, and roof rats nest in attics, wall voids and cabinets. A bungalow with an old attic vent and a sprinkler leak is a good example of what to check. See rodent control and ant control for the usual steps.
Because the area grew out of the Rancho Del Paso land grant, some lots are larger and more open than a typical city lot. Open grass can also draw burrowing animals, and ground squirrel and vole control is worth a call if you see fresh mounds or runways.
Pets and yards make fleas a regular call in older neighborhoods. Flea control usually treats the places pets rest and the yard areas they use, and the technician will tell you what to wash, vacuum and move before the visit.
Houses of bungalow age can also hide wood damage from subterranean termites, which UC IPM says need contact with soil moisture at all times, and which often swarm on calm sunny days right after the first autumn rains. If you are buying or selling, a termite inspection report is a common part of a sale, and it covers visible and accessible areas.
If you are not sure whether a stain, a trail of mud or a few winged insects means anything, take a photo and describe it when you call (855) 974-4733. A technician can usually tell you what to look for next.
