Termites
You will find three main termite species common throughout Santa Fe Springs: Formosan termites, subterranean termites, and drywood termites. Unlike other regions, Santa Fe Springs has no true termite season, and these pests can be active all year long. Termites can eat away at the structure of your home, potentially causing significant damage. Termite prevention starts with a termite inspection. Terminix offers termite control services in Santa Fe Springs, CA, like fumigation for homes with an active infestation.
Mosquitoes
Santa Fe Springs is home to the Culex species of mosquito. This species is the main type of mosquito that can carry the West Nile Virus (WNV), and while Santa Fe Springs has lower WNV cases than the rest of California, it's still a dangerous risk. Besides potentially carrying disease-causing pathogens, mosquitoes can prevent you from enjoying your outdoor landscapes and relaxing in your yard. With Terminix’s mosquito and tick control bundle, you can help take your yard back using advanced technology like Thermacell.
Bed bugs
Just like the rest of America, bed bugs are a growing pest problem in Santa Fe Springs, CA. No longer relegated to only motels and hotels, Santa Fe Springs homeowners may struggle to combat these tiny, minuscule pests that can leave itchy welts in some people. Bed bugs can be unknowingly brought into your home through luggage, or second-hand items like furniture and clothing. Pest control in Santa Fe Springs can help eliminate these stubborn pests from your home.
Bees
You'll find numerous types of bees buzzing throughout Santa Fe Springs, and not just the typical honey bee. Santa Fe Springs also teems with carpenter bees, bumblebees, and cuckoo bees. While bees can be beneficial pollinators, many homeowners are seeking ways to naturally and safely deter these flying insects to reduce their risk of stings and protect their families' ability to relax and play in their backyard. Terminix can help remove bees from your yard without harming these beneficial insects.
Rodents
Several areas in and around Santa Fe Springs, such as the Willows Wetland just west of the Harbor Freeway, can be popular sanctuaries for rodents. Thanks to urban development, you'll also often find rats, mice, and other rodent pests in your home and garden. Common problem species in Santa Fe Springs, CA, include roof rats and Norway rats. While some of these rodents can potentially carry disease-causing pathogens, they can also chew your home's wiring, eat insulation in your walls, and contaminate human and pet food. With technology like Flexi AmourTM, Terminx’s exterminators in Gardena can help keep these pests out of your home.
