Common Pests in Orange County and How to Prevent Them

Orange County's coastal climate is comfortable for people, and for pests. These are the ones we treat most often, and how to keep them out.

The usual suspects

• ✓Argentine ants drawn indoors by moisture
• ✓Subterranean termites in older neighborhoods
• ✓German cockroaches in kitchens and bathrooms
• ✓Paper wasps nesting under eaves near canyons
• ✓Rodents in attics and garages

Simple prevention

Trim vegetation away from the house, fix leaks and standing water, seal gaps around utility lines, and keep food sealed. Knocking down early wasp nests in spring prevents big problems later in summer.

Local treatment matters

Pests behave differently by microclimate. Our OC technicians tailor every treatment to your neighborhood and the specific pressure on your property.
