Call (844) 924-1337Clovis takes its name from Clovis M. Cole, a wheat grower who donated the railroad right of way that gave the town its start in 1891, a specific, traceable origin that has nothing to do with citrus groves, mining booms, or any other founding story more common elsewhere in California. Within just a few years, that young railroad town became the terminus of one of the more remarkable pieces of nineteenth century engineering in the region: a V-shaped wooden flume roughly 42 to 45 miles long, completed in 1894, that carried milled lumber down from Shaver Lake in the Sierra Nevada, dropping nearly 4,900 feet in elevation along the way before reaching Clovis's lumber yards. That flume made Clovis a lumber and milling center almost from the start, and the wood frame buildings that history left behind still shape parts of the older town today. The Clovis Rodeo has run every year since 1914, one of the longest continuously running rodeos in the region, and it still carries forward the same working, agricultural identity Cole's original wheat fields represented.
Clovis grew up around a working lumber and rail depot rather than a resort economy, but pest control performed here today falls under the same statewide rules as anywhere else in California. California regulates structural pest control through the Structural Pest Control Board, a division of the Department of Consumer Affairs, and requires a license for essentially all pest control performed for hire. The state issues three separate branch licenses: Branch 1 for fumigation, Branch 2 for general household pest and rodent control, and Branch 3 for termite and other wood destroying pest control, including structural repairs. Each branch has its own experience and examination requirements, and applicants must pass a board approved exam with at least a 70% score. Businesses must separately hold an operator license, and field representatives who perform inspections need their own licensing tier. Wildlife trapping is regulated by a different agency entirely: the Department of Fish and Wildlife requires its own trapping license for pest control technicians removing furbearing or nongame mammals like raccoons or squirrels, though technicians already licensed by the Structural Pest Control Board are exempt from that separate license specifically when trapping mice, rats, voles, moles, or gophers.

Yes. California regulates structural pest control through the Structural Pest Control Board, a division of the Department of Consumer Affairs, and the state issues separate branch licenses for fumigation, general household pest and rodent control, and termite work. Businesses performing this work for hire in Clovis must hold the appropriate branch license along with a separate operator license.
Pricing depends on the property size, the pest involved, and whether the job is a one time treatment or an ongoing service plan, so we can't quote a set number here. Call PestGuardians to discuss pricing for your Clovis property, the pest activity, and the proposed service scope. An assessment may be needed before a quote can be confirmed.
Many properties in Clovis's older neighborhoods date back to the city's early years as a lumber and railroad depot town, when wood frame construction was the norm, and those buildings can face different wood destroying pest risks than decades of newer residential growth built since. Mention the property's approximate age when discussing the proposed inspection.
Yes. Clovis has hosted the Clovis Rodeo every year since 1914, and the working, agricultural identity that event represents is still part of the area today, with some properties bordering farmland or keeping livestock rather than sitting on a standard subdivision lot. Describe that property type when you call, including how it differs from a typical single-family home, and ask about the appropriate scope.
