Why Regular Pest Control is a Must for Southern California Homes

What Makes So Cal Such a Desirable Place for Pests?

The same climate which makes it so great to live in So Cal – warm, dry summers and mild, wet winters, is also, unfortunately, the perfect climate for pests to thrive in. Ants, cockroaches, spiders, and mosquitoes – we got it all in Southern California and there is no shortage of them (especially in the summertime). As temperatures rise, so do the birth rates of most common household pests. The result? Before you know it, you can be overrun by these critters.

Why Should I Care About Pests?

With the great weather, we all want to spend more time with family and friends enjoying our backyards, patios, and common areas. Who doesn’t love a 4th of July barbeque? Unfortunately, pests can quickly ruin the fun. We’ve all been victims of spending a few hours on our outdoor furniture only to learn that a black or brown window has been hanging out right below us the whole time. Beyond the daily headaches, these common pests can inflict serious pain on our loved ones and can transmit deadly diseases. Earlier this summer, officials confirmed a case of the West Nile Virus in Orange County after a mosquito bit a resident. Last year, a Huntington Beach resident was also confirmed to have contracted West Nile Virus from a mosquito bite.

Why Preventative Pest Control is the Way to Go?

That’s why preventative pest control in Southern California like the programs offered by Crest Pest Control are a must (click here to learn more ). With year-round proactive prevention, you can stay one step ahead of the pests. These plans typically include a scheduled visit every month, every other month, or every quarter. They target the common household pests we see most in Southern California – ants, spiders, cockroaches wasps, and even mosquitoes through a combination of product application and spider web removal. They prevent pests from breeding and populations from getting out of hand. And they make those summer barbeques and parties a lot more fun… now the only hazard you have to worry about on the 4th of July are those illegal fireworks your neighbors are setting off.

Why Hire a Professional?

To effectively control pest populations, it requires products that only professionals can purchase and apply properly. When applied correctly, these products can effectively prevent against pests while keeping your family, kids, and pets safe. When applied incorrectly, these products can have negative impacts on you, your loved ones,  and the environment. That’s why at Crest Pest Control, the average technician has 15 years of pest control experience. So, you can sleep safely at night knowing your pests are taken care of and your family, children, and pets are out of harm’s way.
