Shelby’s Pest Control has been protecting homes and businesses across Northern California for over 70 years. We are a family-owned, locally operated team with the certifications, experience, and track record to back it up.
For more than 70 years, Shelby’s Pest Control has helped homeowners throughout Chico and surrounding Northern California communities protect their homes from seasonal pest problems, recurring infestations, and unwanted rodent activity. Our team follows an Integrated Pest Management approach that focuses on prevention first whenever possible, helping families address pest concerns with long-term solutions rather than temporary fixes.
When you call Shelby’s, you are not getting a call center or a national franchise. You are talking to a local team that has been doing this work in Northern California since 1954. We know the pest patterns in Butte County in spring. We know what draws rodents into Tehama County homes in fall. We know how Sacramento Valley summers affect ant and cockroach activity. That local knowledge is what makes our service different.
From ants, spiders, and rodents to bed bugs, birds, and gophers, we handle the full range of pest problems for homeowners, landlords, restaurants, warehouses, and commercial properties. Our approach starts with a free inspection so we understand exactly what you are dealing with before recommending anything.
Pest protection plans start at $45 per month with a free initial service when you sign up annually. No pressure, no gimmicks. Just honest, reliable service from people who live and work in the same communities you do.
Different pest problems require different treatment strategies. At Shelby’s Pest Control, every service begins with identifying what is causing pest activity in the first place.
Whether you are dealing with seasonal ant invasions, recurring cockroach activity, rodent entry points, or bed bug concerns, our goal is to create long-term pest management solutions designed around your property and the conditions attracting pests in the first place.
Businesses across Chico and Northern California can also turn to Shelby’s for commercial pest control, restaurant pest management, recurring monitoring, rodent exclusion, and inspection support.
One treatment is rarely enough. Pests are active all year in Northern California, and the conditions that attract them, warmth, moisture, food, and shelter, do not go away after a single visit. A routine service plan is the most reliable way to stay ahead of seasonal pest pressure.
Your initial service is included at no extra charge. Every plan includes scheduled treatments, priority scheduling, and a team that knows your property.
Free inspections are available for qualifying residential and commercial properties within Shelby’s standard service area. For properties in remote or outlying areas, a travel fee may apply. All fees are disclosed upfront before any service is scheduled. Rodent exclusion inspections are subject to separate terms based on property location. Contact us at (530) 343-0603 for details.
Traps and bait can reduce a rodent population, but they do not solve the actual problem. As long as there are gaps in your foundation, holes around your pipes, or worn seals under your garage door, rodents will keep finding their way back in.
Shelby’s Pest Control specializes in rodent exclusion, which means we find every entry point on your property and seal it with chew-proof, professional-grade materials. We use galvanized steel mesh, metal flashing, concrete, and Xcluder door sweeps to block the routes rodents use to get inside. The result is a home that rodents cannot enter, not just one where they are being managed after the fact.
This matters even more now that California has restricted the use of most rodenticides. Exclusion is not just the smarter long-term option. In many cases, it is the only reliable one.

Cockroaches are one of the most persistent pests we deal with across Northern California. German, Oriental, and American cockroaches are active year-round in this region, and they are good at staying out of sight until an infestation is already underway.
If you are seeing roaches in your kitchen, bathroom, or garage, there are likely far more behind your walls, under your appliances, and inside your cabinets. The sooner you address the problem, the easier it is to bring under control.
Shelby’s uses targeted treatments that are safe for your family and pets. We identify the species, locate the source, and treat the areas where roaches are actually active, rather than applying a broad spray and hoping for the best. We also offer a free residential cockroach prevention checklist to help you reduce the conditions that attract roaches in the first place.
