Protect Your Business—Stay Informed on Pest Control Regulations
As someone working in the trades, you understand firsthand how critical it is to maintain safe, healthy, and structurally sound environments. Termites, cockroaches, and rodents pose severe threats, causing billions in damage, spreading illnesses, and increasing fire risks due to electrical damage. Effective pest control is not only essential for the health and safety of your clients but also vital to your business’s reputation and operational efficiency.
California maintains the strictest pest control regulations globally, yet further restrictions on pest control tools could significantly impact your business operations and bottom line. Here’s why this matters to you:
- Over 70% of fumigation companies in Southern California are Latino-owned, contributing significantly to our local economies.
- Nearly 85% of fumigation workers are Latino, earning wages critical to family financial stability.
- Increased regulations would mean costly delays and additional expenses for homeowners and businesses, affecting demand for trade services related to property maintenance and construction.
- Effective pest control is essential to maintaining structural integrity, particularly critical in earthquake-prone regions, and for preventing diseases spread by common pests.
