General information only
The guides, articles and answers on this Site are general information for homeowners and businesses in Mendocino County. They are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a qualified technician.
Legal notice: the licensed company that performs the work
Enquiries about pests in Philo and the surrounding part of Mendocino County, whether telephoned or sent through this Site, are received by Philo Pest Control and passed on. Philo Pest Control does not inspect buildings, does not apply pesticides, does not fumigate and does not issue inspection reports. Every visit is made by a separate local pest control company that is independently owned, and that company carries the liability for what it finds, what it applies and how the work is finished.
The California Structural Pest Control Board registers pest control companies and licenses the individuals who work for them. The duty to hold the registration and the branch licences the work calls for, to employ licensed personnel accordingly, and to keep its own insurance in force rests with the company performing the work. This Site is not a licensed structural pest control business, does not claim to be one, and gives no assurance that any company's licence or insurance has been inspected for a caller.
The company's licence number is given to anyone who asks for it, by telephone on (855) 974-4733 or by the company when it telephones to arrange a visit. It is not shown on these pages, because it is that company's private registration detail. The Board publishes licensing information at pestboard.ca.gov and that is where a number should be verified. No statement on this Site is a guarantee of a result, of insurance cover, or of when anyone will arrive.
Ask for the licence number on the phone, then check it with the Board (855) 974-4733

Prices are estimates
Price ranges are typical estimates for our service area in 2026. They are not quotes or offers. Your price is confirmed in person before any work starts.
Safety and product labels
Pest control products must be used exactly as their labels direct; the label is the law. Do not mix products, apply restricted-use pesticides yourself or treat areas a label does not allow. Keep children and pets away from treated areas for as long as the technician advises.
Regulations
Structural pest control in California is regulated by the state pesticide regulator. Rules and product approvals change; information on this Site is a summary, not legal or regulatory advice.
Trademarks
Brand and product names mentioned on this Site are trademarks of their respective owners. Philo Pest Control is an independent company and is not affiliated with or endorsed by those manufacturers unless stated.
