Fortis offers residential pest control in Selma, the Central Valley city known as the Raisin Capital of the World. Our HomeShield plan covers the pests most common to Selma homes, from the older streets near downtown to the newer subdivisions on the edges of town, starting at $49 per month with quarterly visits and re-service between visits when something new shows up. Coverage includes the 93662 zip code.
Selma is a smaller incorporated city south of Fresno, surrounded by vineyards and farmland. The Raisin Capital character is not just a slogan here. Ag land runs right up to the residential edges, and that proximity is the single biggest driver of pest pressure in town. A neighborhood profile built for the middle of Fresno would miss it entirely.
When the surrounding fields are harvested, disced, or simply dry out between cycles, the pests living in them have to go somewhere. They head for the nearest watered, occupied home. That means rodents, ants, and spiders pushing in from open ground, plus the occasional overwintering pest looking for shelter as the season turns.
The housing adds a second layer. Older homes near downtown carry more entry points: gaps around utility penetrations, settled foundations, and mature landscaping that gives ants and spiders year-round harborage. The newer subdivisions sit closer to open lots and field edges. Pressure runs year-round, with a clear peak from spring through early fall.
