New pest control service for Kingsburg

Kingsburg City Council members voted at their Jan. 16 meeting to change the citys pest control service from Banner to Cal State Pest Control. The change will save the city $25.75 per month. We need a company thats experienced in a broad variety of pest related issues and who are diligent in addressing our goal to prevent these problems, said Kingsburg City Manager Don Pauley.

During the meeting, Council Member Ben Creighton noted that he had heard a bad report regarding Banner about its services. Pauley told the council during the meeting that Assistant Public Works Director Darren Hays had spoken to Banner representatives about their quality and costs.

Under the new contract, Cal State of Selma will conduct pest control treatments each month at the citys various properties. These include the historical park, memorial park, police station, fire stations, swimming pool, downtown park, City Hall and public works yard.

Its a large number of facilities that require monthly treatment, Pauley said.

The bid also covers parks that dont have buildings at those locations. And, Cal State will treat water well sites as needed.
