Environmental Conditions Pests Thrive In
- Humidity is one of those environmental conditions that pests (e.g. termites, cockroaches, mice) love to occupy. Out of sight places such as behind a refrigerator or oven, or central heating or cooling units where air doesn’t circulate as much as it should makes a perfect breeding ground for certain types of pests.
- Temperature is another ideal condition that some pests must rely on to survive. Since Los Angeles California has unique climate, certain pest species seek shelter where the temperature is ideal for their eggs or offspring to grow and develop. Depending on the species of pests, some thrive in hot weather (Mosquitos, wasps, flies etc.) whereas some pest species (Cockroaches, Rodents, Ants, Spiders etc.) prefer cold weather. Temperature treatment including heat treatment may be required to exterminate bed bugs.
- Indoor areas are not places for nesting, however, bedrooms, bathrooms, even kitchens are usually visited by pests for food and water sources.
- Outdoor areas such as garden, garage, rooftop, attic can attract all sorts of pests and insects. Some pests such as Termites and Ants are known to cause structural damage, thus, must be eliminated as soon as you are aware of their infestation to minimize damage.
Common Types of Pests Found Throughout Los Angeles California
- Cockroaches: can be found almost everywhere around the world, same is true in properties around LA because cockroaches heavily rely on humans leaving food and water sources for roaches to survive.
- Bedbugs: when you think of bed bugs, think of these pests as hitchhikers, invading one property and moving on to another. Bed bug infestation usually occurs due to a person visiting an infected area (hotel motel or even using the public transport). Most people believe that bed bug infestation is due to poor hygiene, and yet, nothing could be further from the truth because even the cleanest of houses can be infested by bed bugs.
- Termites: usually invades abandoned properties where wooden material is easily accessible by termites. Since their primary food source is wooden matter usually found in property foundation or even furniture items, termite invasion can occur anywhere. There have been many properties nearby Los Angeles facing termite problems. Woody ceiling of many properties, hotels and backyard sheds and garages are likely places to have colonies of termites.
- Garden pests and insects: are found throughout gardens in California, earwigs, bees, ants, Cabbage worms are amongst the common types of insects. When left untreated, these types of pests can lead to hazardous outcomes. Not only they can destroy your harvest, some can also cause structural damage to the property (in the case of large Ant colonies creating complex tunnels underground which overtime can shift the foundation of the property).
- Rodents (Rats & Mice): it’s very unlikely that you’ve never seen a mouse running across the kitchen floor. Rodents are common pests found almost in any city in USA, rats and mice nest in places that are out of sight, they usually come out searching for food at night. Once you recognize the source of the infestation, it’s very easy to exterminate them.
- Mosquitoes & Bees: are common flying insects that usually are just nuisance, but if you don’t take proper action for controlling them, then, they can become dangerous when they bite or sting those with allergies.
