Stay Updated on Local Pest Control Regulations
Most residents and business owners in our community don’t recognize pest threats until the damage is extensive. Termites, cockroaches, and rodents silently wreak havoc, causing billions in property damage annually, spreading serious diseases, and even creating fire hazards by chewing through wiring. Effective pest management is crucial to safeguarding our community’s health, homes, and economic stability.
As a local elected official, it is vital to stay informed about regulatory developments because measures impacting pest control tools could severely impact our constituents, the real estate market, and local businesses.
California already enforces the strictest pest control regulations globally, with comprehensive safety protocols built into the existing process. Consider these important points:
- Over 70% of fumigation businesses in Southern California are Latino-owned and operated.
- Approximately 85% of fumigation workers are Latino and earn wages that support their families.
- Increased regulation would result in costly delays for home purchases, negatively impacting the local real estate market.
- Effective fumigation is vital for structural safety in earthquake-prone areas and for controlling disease-spreading pests, particularly those that affect low-income and vulnerable communities.
