Fortis offers residential pest control in the Bullard area of north-central Fresno, a settled stretch of established homes and mature yards. Our HomeShield plan covers the pests most common to decades-old construction and long-grown landscaping, starting at $49 per month with quarterly visits and re-service included between visits when something new shows up. Coverage includes the 93711 zip code.
Bullard is one of north-central Fresno's settled, established areas, sitting near the Fig Garden and Fort Washington side of the city. Most of the housing here went up between the 1960s and the 1980s, and the neighborhoods have had decades to mature. That history shapes the pest pressure in ways newer north-side builds don't see.
A few conditions drive most of the activity:
- Mature trees. The grown-in canopy and tree-lined streets give ants and spiders year-round harborage and a direct path toward the house.
- Settled landscaping. Long-established beds, borders, and dense planting sit right up against the foundation, often closer than newer yards allow.
- Decades of settling. Older homes shift over time, opening small gaps around the foundation, plumbing, and utility penetrations.
- Established irrigation. Older watering systems and mature lawns keep moisture up, which supports earwig pressure through the dry season.
Pressure runs year-round with a clear peak from spring through early fall. The most common Bullard complaints we see are ant trails on kitchen counters and along the foundation, and spider activity around eaves and exterior corners.
