Pest Control in Roseville, CA

Roseville is one of the fastest-growing cities Apex serves. The Census puts its 2025 population near 167,000, up about 13 percent from the 2020 base, and close to seven in ten homes are owner occupied. That means a lot of new homeowners meeting their first Sacramento Valley pest season, and a lot of established homes on lots that have matured into good habitat for ants, spiders and wasps. Apex Pest Control has provided pest control in Roseville from our Sacramento office since the company started in 1978, and a licensed exterminator in Roseville is one phone call away.

Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Estimates come from your home’s square footage and what you are seeing.

Why homeowners choose Apex

Roseville Pest Control From a Licensed Local Company

Roseville pest control companies range from national franchises to one-truck operations. Apex sits in between: a family-owned company with a Sacramento office at 4541 Harlin Drive, and three named operators whose licenses you can look up. Apex Pest Control, Inc. holds Structural Pest Control Board registration No. 2770, Branch 2, for general household pest control. President Jeff Alexander holds operator license No. 8484, Brent Brandon holds No. 12138, and Jared F. Alexander holds No. 14137.

The company has been BBB accredited since 1984 with an A+ rating, has belonged to the California Pest Management Association since 1999, and was named Best Pest Control in the 2026 Best of Times awards. About one in three new customers arrives by referral, which is the number we care about most.

Scope, stated plainly

Pests Roseville Homeowners Deal With Most

The Sacramento Valley pattern applies across Placer County. Summers are warm and dry, most of the rain falls between November and February, and the pests follow the weather.

Ants and spiders

Argentine and pavement ants are the ants we see most. Several days of triple-digit heat push them into bathrooms and kitchens for water, and the first heavy winter rain pushes them inside again. Spiders follow the insects, and any home with landscape lighting or string lights left on all night will have more of both. Web removal is part of every maintenance visit.

Cockroaches and earwigs

American and Oriental cockroaches have become a big outdoor problem in recent years. They live in garages, cracks and crevices. Earwigs, silverfish and boxelder bugs are seasonal nuisances we treat on the same visit.

Wasps and yellow jackets

Tile roofs leave gaps everywhere for paper wasps. We treat ridge caps on one-story tile roofs, set honest expectations about Spanish tile, and do not put ladders on two-story homes for wasps. Yellow jackets were especially bad across the region in 2026.

Step by step

Exterminator Services in Roseville, CA

If you searched for a Roseville exterminator, here is what the first visit from Apex looks like. Jeff prefers the term pest management, because the visit is mostly looking before it is treating.

  1. Interview: why you called, what you have seen, and where.

  2. A tour of the house and a walk around the property.

  3. Identification of the pest and the conditions feeding it.

  4. Targeted interior treatment where the activity is, using low-odor products.

  5. The exterior barrier: foundation, garage, windows and doorways, first-floor eaves, fence lines and yard areas.

  6. Spider web removal.

  7. Recommendations you can act on: gaps, leaf litter, branches, lighting and moisture.

Rats and Mice: Assessed for Fit, Major Work Referred

Rodent work is assessed for fit, and we say that plainly because Jeff does not consider Apex a rodent specialty company. What we do: place bait stations for roof rats, Norway rats and house mice, and tell you what is inviting them, such as a limb touching the roof, an open gap, or a bucket of dog food on the back porch. What we refer: heavy infestations that need exclusion work, cleanup, and repairs to chewed sheetrock. We keep a list of companies that do that work well.

How it works

Maintenance Program or One-Time Service

Most Roseville homes end up on the on-going maintenance program, bi-monthly. The first visit treats the interior where activity is and the exterior barrier around the whole home. Follow-up visits reinforce the barrier and sweep webs, and you do not need to be home. If a locked gate or a loose dog keeps the technician out of an area, you get a note and a reschedule at no extra cost.

A one-time visit fits some problems: fleas after a pet is gone, or a move-out. For spiders, a one-time service is a bandage; the webs return as the barrier fades. We tell you which one fits on the phone, before you spend anything.

On rainy or saturated days the technician uses a granular product around the base of the home that withstands up to four inches of rain, and keeps liquid applications to protected areas, so winter visits still hold.

    Sacramento seasons

    Roseville Pest Seasons

    April to October is the main season: ants, spiders, fleas and outdoor roaches. Heat waves are the trigger for ant calls. November to February, once temperatures drop below 40, the route gets quiet and ants become the only real problem, usually right after the first heavy rain. Rodents are active year round. A maintenance schedule keeps the barrier ahead of each of those turns instead of behind them.

    Why homeowners choose Apex

    Licensed Since 1978: Credentials and Guarantee

    Continuing maintenance customers in good standing get return visits at no additional charge for any contracted pest problem between regular service dates, and the technician keeps coming back until the problem is solved. Troublesome pest issues may require a supervisor's input. That is the guarantee in one paragraph; the full wording is on our guarantee page.

    Technicians are state-licensed, bonded and insured, and they renew their licenses every three years with required continuing education. California requires long sleeves, long trousers, gloves and safety glasses for treatment, and the county agricultural commissioner makes unannounced spot checks. You should see that gear on every Apex visit.

    What We Do Not Treat in Roseville

    Termites and other wood-destroying organisms are Branch 3 work, outside our license, so we refer you to a termite company. Bed bugs go to a heat-treatment company. Squirrels, raccoons, possums and moles need a trapper, and voles are an agricultural pest we cannot treat. We do not control flies or mosquitoes. Honey bees get a beekeeper first, from our referral list; treatment is a last resort when bees are inside the structure and no beekeeper will take them.

    Estimates and Scheduling for Roseville Homes

    We can usually give an estimate over the phone from the square footage of the home and what you are seeing. The estimate is confirmed at the home, because the interview and the walk-around often turn up more than the caller described. We do not publish prices, because a number without seeing the home is a guess. The $90.00 new-homeowner discount is already in the quote the office gives you.

    Roseville is on Apex's service-area list, and our technicians are dispatched from the Sacramento office. If you want to confirm your address is on a route, the office can tell you in a minute. The full list of cities we serve is on the service areas page.

    Questions homeowners ask

    Pest Control in Roseville: Frequently Asked Questions

    View all FAQs

    The questions below are the ones the office hears most from Roseville homeowners. If yours is not here, call (916) 362-9294 and ask.

    How much does pest control cost in Roseville?

    We quote by phone from the home's square footage and what you are seeing. The estimate is confirmed at the home, because the interview and the walk-around often turn up more than the caller described. A firm number without knowing the home would be a guess, so we do not publish a price list.

    What pests do Roseville homeowners deal with most?

    Argentine and pavement ants, the spiders that follow them, and American and Oriental cockroaches around garages. Paper wasps use the gaps in tile roofs, and yellow jackets were especially bad across the region in 2026. Earwigs, silverfish and boxelder bugs are seasonal nuisances treated on the same visit.

    What should I do about pets on treatment day?

    We choose the product and placement for the pest, the location and the label requirements, and the technician gives label-specific guidance on re-entry, drying and cleaning. Treated areas stay off limits until dry, which depends on the weather. Tell the office about your pets when you book and the technician will plan around them.

    How often should a Roseville home be treated?

    Most homes do well on a bi-monthly maintenance program: interior and exterior on the first visit, exterior barrier and web removal after that. The inside typically needs retreating less than once a year, because interior problems between visits are covered by the guarantee.

    Do you serve my part of Roseville?

    Roseville is on our service-area list and our routes run there from the Sacramento office. We have not published a neighborhood-by-neighborhood map, so the fastest answer is to call the office with your address. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

    What if pests return between visits?

    Continuing maintenance customers in good standing get a return visit at no additional charge for any contracted pest, and the technician keeps returning until it is solved. Troublesome pest issues may require a supervisor's input.
