There are a number of factors that may differentiate pest control companies from one another. Following are some general guidelines for choosing a pest control company:
-Look for a reputable company with representatives knowledgeable about pest and/or termite habits, types of construction, treatment specifications and state regulations. -Ask friends and associates to recommend companies they have used.
-Look for memberships in industry associations such as the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) that provide ethical guidelines and technical information.
-Find out if continued coverage is offered that includes treatment for reinfestation and repairs for future damage and ask if it is renewable. -Be certain the company is licensed by your state's regulatory agency.

Ranking third among the U.S. states in area, California has a diverse topography and climate. A series of low mountains known as the Coast Ranges extends along the 1,200-mi (1,930-km) coast. The region from Point Arena, N of San Francisco, to the southern part of the state is subject to tremors and sometimes to severe earthquakes caused by tectonic stress along the San Andreas fault. The Coast Ranges receive heavy rainfall in the north, where the giant cathedrallike redwood forests prevail, but the climate of these mountains is considerably drier in S California, and S of the Golden Gate no major rivers reach the ocean. Behind the coastal ranges in central California lies the great Central Valley, a long alluvial valley drained by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. In the southeast lie vast wastelands, notably the Mojave Desert, site of Joshua Tree National Park
