Pests people call about here
Farm operations sit close to town, so outdoor pests are never far from homes. The roof rat is the main urban rat in Kern County, and it climbs fences and utility lines from yard to yard.
Shafter is inside the service area of the Kern Mosquito and Vector Control District, which you can contact directly about mosquitoes and roof rats at (661) 589-2744. For anything indoors, like roaches, ants or bed bugs, call the number on this page.
The western drywood termite reaches into the Central Valley, and subterranean termites are common statewide, so termite inspections matter in farm-town homes as much as anywhere.
