Clark Pest Control - Bakersfield & Kern County
Clark Pest Control has protected Bakersfield homes and businesses from local pests for more than 70 years. Our licensed Kern County technicians handle rodents, roaches, ants, spiders, termites, and bed bugs with GreenPro-certified, pet-friendly treatments. Same-day and Saturday service is available.
Bakersfield sits at the south end of the Central Valley, ringed by farmland, so pest pressure runs year-round. When summer temperatures climb past 100 degrees, ants, cockroaches, and rodents push indoors looking for water and shade, and that is when most infestations start.

About Our Bakersfield Team
Our Bakersfield branch works the same ground our customers live on, from the older neighborhoods around downtown and Oildale to the newer developments northeast of the bluffs and the farm towns out toward Wasco and Shafter. Local knowledge changes the job. Kern County is one of California's Valley Fever hot spots, so keeping rodents from burrowing around a home or warehouse matters here in a way it does not everywhere, and rodent exclusion is a core part of what we do.
We see the pests this valley actually produces. Bark scorpions turn up in newer northeast Bakersfield homes built close to open ground. Black widows settle into block walls, garages, and woodpiles. German cockroaches multiply fast in the summer heat, and roof rats follow irrigation lines and fruit trees through older parts of town. Whether you need a one-time treatment or an ongoing plan, a Clark exterminator inspects first, treats the specific problem, seals the entry points, and comes back to confirm it worked.
A Smarter Approach for Kern County: we follow Integrated Pest Management, which means we read the conditions driving the infestation, such as summer heat pushing pests indoors for water, and fix the cause rather than just spraying the symptom. Our treatments are GreenPro certified and chosen to be safe around families and pets.

Top Pest Services in Bakersfield
Bakersfield's heat and surrounding farmland drive a specific mix of pests, so our branch leads with the problems Kern County actually calls about, starting with rodents, termites, and cockroaches.
- Rodent Control - roof rats and mice follow irrigation lines and fruit trees indoors. We trap and seal entry points, which also limits the burrowing and soil disturbance that matter in a Valley Fever region.
- Termite Control - inspection, localized treatment, structural fumigation, and repair for the subterranean and drywood termites that target older Bakersfield foundations.
- Cockroach and Roach Control - German cockroaches spread fast in the summer heat. We treat the active population, use targeted baits, and seal the gaps they use to move between rooms and units.
- Ant Control - ants pour into kitchens and bathrooms once summer dries out the yard and they come indoors looking for water.
- Spider and Black Widow Control - web removal and prevention, with extra attention to black widows in block walls, garages, and woodpiles.
- Bed Bug Treatment - inspection and targeted treatment for homes, rentals, and multi-unit properties.
- Mosquito Control - source reduction and yard treatments to cut summer breeding around standing water.
- Bird and Pigeon Control - humane deterrents and cleanup for pigeons on flat rooflines and solar panels.
We also treat fleas, scorpions, bees, and yard and garden pests. Not sure what you are dealing with? Start with our residential pest control plans, or ask about commercial pest control for your business.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bakersfield Pest Control
How do I get rid of cockroaches in a Bakersfield home?
Start with a professional inspection to find where the cockroaches are breeding, because store-bought sprays rarely reach the harborage. German cockroaches are the most common indoor species in Bakersfield and multiply quickly in the summer heat, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Clark treats the active population, uses targeted baits, and seals the gaps that let them spread between rooms and units.
Are bark scorpions in Bakersfield dangerous, and can Clark treat them?
Bark scorpions are venomous and their sting is painful, though healthy adults rarely face serious harm; children and pets warrant more caution. They are most common in newer northeast Bakersfield neighborhoods built near open ground, and they hide in block walls, garages, and woodpiles. Clark treats active scorpions and reduces the harborage and insect prey that draw them in.
Do you offer free pest control inspections in Bakersfield?
Yes. Clark provides free inspections for Bakersfield homes and businesses, where a technician identifies the pest, finds the source, and recommends a plan. Call (661) 384-6868 or request service online to schedule one.
Do you provide termite inspections and fumigation in Bakersfield?
Yes. Clark handles the full range of termite work in Bakersfield, from inspection to localized treatment, structural fumigation, and repair. Both subterranean and drywood termites are active in Kern County, and older foundations and wood-frame homes are the most common targets.
Do you offer same-day and Saturday pest control in Bakersfield?
Yes. Our Bakersfield branch is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and same-day service is often available. Call (661) 384-6868 to check the next open appointment.
Why are rodents a bigger concern in Kern County?
Kern County is one of California's Valley Fever regions, and rodents disturbing soil are part of the local risk picture. Roof rats and mice also follow irrigation lines, fruit trees, and warmth into homes and businesses. Clark's rodent work combines trapping with sealing the entry points that let them back in.
Don't let pests take over your peace of mind. Whether you are dealing with an active infestation or want to prevent the next one, our Bakersfield team is a phone call away. Call (661) 384-6868 or request your inspection to get started.
