Pest problems rarely stay outside for long, whether they show up at home or at a business along the highway. Since 2001, Big Time Pest Control has been the company Northern California property owners call to stay ahead of pest problems — and to knock them out fast when one does show up.
We're locally owned and family-operated, with technicians who know this part of the state inside and out — the pests, the terrain, and what it takes to keep both under control. Whether you're dealing with a problem right now or want to head off the next one, we're ready to help.

You have enough on your home maintenance list — checking the pantry for ants, listening for scratching in the attic, or knocking down a wasp nest before it gets out of hand.
Our residential pest control service covers the everyday pests that come with living out here, including ants, spiders, centipedes, roaches, and rodents, with scheduled treatments throughout the year so homes are never left unprotected.
Your technician spends most of each visit treating the exterior of your home — spraying the perimeter, clearing spider webs and wasp nests from the eaves, and checking rodent bait stations — and adds interior treatment whenever something's already active indoors. And if a covered pest shows up between scheduled visits, our Pest-Free Guarantee means we come back out and re-treat at no extra charge.
We offer three plans, from general pest coverage to our most comprehensive plan, which includes pest and termite control. Compare our home pest control plans, or give us a call to discuss which one best fits your property.
Termite damage is usually well underway before it's visible, and it affects homes and businesses alike. Around Shasta, that risk spans older buildings and newer construction, especially properties with a lot of exposed wood siding, decking, or trim.
We treat both subterranean and drywood termites, starting with a free inspection to confirm what you're dealing with. For subterranean termites, we typically install Trelona® ATBS bait stations around the structure's perimeter — an eco-friendly system that eliminates existing colonies and helps stop new ones from taking hold. Drywood termite infestations are usually resolved with fumigation. We also handle repairs for termite- or rot-damaged wood, from siding and trim to decks.
Sagging floors, doors or windows that suddenly stick, small piles of what looks like sawdust, or tiny kick-out holes in wood trim are all warnings of a termite problem. If you're noticing any of that, reach out about termite control — our termite inspections are free.
Living close to open land has its perks, but it also means wildlife shows up more often than it might closer to town — skunks getting under the porch, raccoons into the trash, or bats finding their way into the attic.
Our wildlife control services use humane trapping, one-way exclusion doors, and other solutions to remove skunks, raccoons, opossums, bats, and nuisance birds like pigeons and swallows, then seal up the entry points so they don't come back.
If ground squirrels, gophers, moles, or voles are tearing up your lawn or hillside, we also offer dedicated burrowing rodent control with baiting, trapping, and targeted treatments to protect your yard and landscaping.
If you're noticing digging, droppings, or an animal that's overstayed its welcome, get in touch about wildlife or burrowing rodent control.
Warm evenings on the porch are one of the best parts of living out here — until the mosquitoes show up. Between the creek and lake nearby and the usual culprits like clogged gutters, plant saucers, and low spots that hold water after it rains, mosquitoes have plenty of places to breed around Shasta-area properties.
Our mosquito control program targets where mosquitoes actually rest and breed — foliage, shaded areas, and standing water — with quarterly treatments that keep working between visits. We also offer one-time treatments before weddings, parties, or other outdoor events, so your yard is ready when it matters most.

Whether you run a storefront, restaurant, office, or property along the Highway 299 corridor, a pest problem can turn into a customer or health-and-safety problem fast. Big Time Pest Control builds a plan around what your business actually needs rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment.
We start with a full inspection of the facility and grounds to identify problem areas and conditions that attract pests, then put together a customized plan — typically weekly or monthly, depending on your business and pest pressure — with interior and exterior treatment and our Pest-Free Guarantee if something comes up between visits. Detailed service records are available anytime through our online portal if your business needs the documentation.

Big Time Pest Control has been protecting Northern California homes and businesses since 2001. We're family-operated, and our technicians are licensed in California and hold GreenPro and QualityPro certifications — credentials that reflect ongoing training and a commitment to using effective, reduced-risk treatments.
Our team knows this part of the state well: the mix of older and newer properties out this way, the foothill terrain that draws in wildlife, and the seasonal pest patterns that come with living near the creek and open land. That local knowledge shapes every treatment plan we build, backed by our Pest-Free Guarantee for homes and businesses alike.
Shasta sits within Big Time Pest Control's service area in Shasta County, which also covers nearby Redding, Shasta Lake, and Anderson.

About 15 minutes via Highway 299. Travel time varies with traffic and exact location.
Often, yes — open hillsides and wooded land mean more skunk, raccoon, and burrowing rodent activity than you'd typically see in town.
Not necessarily — it comes down more to the termite species and how far the activity has spread. We offer free termite inspections to identify the problem and build the right plan.
Yes — mosquitoes only need a clogged gutter or a low spot to breed, and they can drift in from nearby properties too.
A pest problem doesn't get better by waiting it out. Big Time Pest Control can take a look, explain what's going on, and put together a plan that actually fits your property.
