Fullerton Pest Control: A Field Guide to Local Pests

Rodent infestation commercial pest control services

Cockroaches

American cockroaches come up from sewer lines and storm drains through floor drains and gaps around plumbing. German cockroaches live indoors and spread through shared walls in student housing, apartments and the downtown restaurant kitchens. They need different treatments, so we identify which one you have first.

Rodents

Roof rats travel the mature trees in the older neighborhoods and in Sunny Hills, and get in where limbs touch the roof, at an unscreened attic vent, or through a broken crawlspace screen. We trap, seal the entry points, and if rodents get back in within 12 months, we come back and fix it at no charge.

Ants

Argentine ants are the ant call we get most in Fullerton. They nest in irrigated yards and planters and trail inside along baseboards and window tracks when it turns hot or after rain. The colony is outside, so that is where we treat.

Indian Meal Moths

These pantry pests prefer to infest dry goods like cereals, grains, and dried fruits. Their presence is often revealed by webbing and frass (insect droppings) in your stored food containers.

Termites

Fullerton’s older houses around downtown have decades-old eaves, trim and attic framing for drywood termites, and raised foundations give subterranean termites a route from soil to wood. The inspection is free, and you get the findings in writing.

Mosquitoes

Around the house mosquitoes breed in small amounts of standing water: plant saucers, clogged gutters, birdbaths and unused pools. We find and treat the breeding spots, not just the adults.

Fullerton Neighborhoods We Cover

Downtown and the older neighborhoods around it. Fullerton was founded in 1887, and the oil boom of the 1920s left a lot of older homes around downtown. Older wood means drywood termite risk in the eaves and attic, and raised foundations mean a crawlspace to check for subterranean termites and rodents.

SOCO and the downtown restaurant district. Bars and restaurants packed together, with shared alleys and trash enclosures. Roaches and rodents there are a building problem, so treating one kitchen without the enclosure it shares rarely holds.

Near Cal State Fullerton and Fullerton College. Student rentals turn over every year, and roaches and bed bugs travel in with furniture and boxes. Our office is close by on Harbor Boulevard.

Sunny Hills and the hillside neighborhoods. Larger lots, mature trees and slopes around the house. Roof rats travel those trees, and perimeter work matters more than anything we do indoors.

Rats and Mice in Fullerton

As the nights cool down in October and November, rats and mice move out of yards, trees and storm drains and into attics, walls and garages, which is why fall is when a lot of Fullerton homeowners first hear them. In the older neighborhoods, a broken crawlspace vent screen or a gap where a utility line enters lets rats under the house. In Sunny Hills and the tracts, roof rats cross on limbs that touch the roof and get in at the eaves or an attic vent.

Trapping clears what is inside. Exclusion, meaning sealing the entry points, screening the vents and closing the roofline gaps, is the part that stops the next one. Once we have sealed your home, if rodents get back in within 12 months we come back and fix it at no charge. More on our rodent control page.

Termites in Fullerton

The older houses around downtown have decades-old wood for drywood termites, and raised foundations give subterranean termites a direct route from soil to wood. Drywood termites live inside the wood itself, in eaves, fascia, window frames and attic framing, and the first sign is usually a small pile of tiny, hard pellets under a sill or winged swarmers at a window in late summer and fall. Subterranean termites come up from the soil and leave mud tubes on foundations and crawlspace piers.

The inspection is free. We tell you which termite it is, how far it has gone and what treatment fits, and you get the findings and the quote in writing before any work starts. See how our termite control works, or read what a fall termite swarm means.

Fullerton Pest Control Questions We Get

We rent to students near CSUF. Can you work around tenants?

Yes. Exterior service does not need anyone home, and we schedule interior visits around move-in and move-out when you tell us the dates. For bed bugs we treat with heat or local chemical treatment, with follow-up visits included.

Our older house has a crawlspace. What should we check?

The piers and the subfloor. Subterranean termites build mud tubes up from the soil to the wood, and broken vent screens are how rats get under the house.

How fast can you come out?

Same-day service is available on weekdays for most calls, and the inspection is free. Call (562) 488-7455.
