Quick answer

Pest control in Pasadena covers 91101 and every neighborhood from Old Pasadena to East Pasadena, served from the Los Angeles office on Cahuenga Blvd W. Craftsman and period homes put Pasadena in the drywood termite and fumigation belt, mature oak and citrus canopy feeds roof rats, and the Arroyo Seco and foothills bring raccoons, skunks and bats.

What we see here

Old wood under old trees

Pasadena's housing is its pest profile. Neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven and Madison Heights are full of craftsman bungalows and period revival homes from the early twentieth century: wood framing, raised floors, deep eaves and attics that drywood termite swarmers have been landing on for generations. Coastal-influenced Southern California has the highest drywood prevalence in the continental US, and the LA, Long Beach and Pasadena belt sees unusually high fumigation volume because of it.

Above those roofs sits one of the region's great urban canopies: oaks, sycamores, camphors and backyard citrus. Canopy and utility lines are roof rat highways, and fruit trees are roof rat pantries, so attic calls run steady through the cooler months. Along the Arroyo Seco and up toward the foothills, the wildlife list grows: raccoons in attics, skunks and opossums under raised floors and porches, and bats roosting in old eaves and tile.

Local pressure

Why prevention pays here

Pasadena's mosquito surveillance falls to the San Gabriel Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District, one of the two larger county districts that together field about 140 staff for roughly 8.1 million residents, so private yards and homes are the owner's responsibility. For older homes, the highest-value habits are an annual termite inspection that catches drywood pellets at spot-treatment size, and sealing the roofline against roof rats before they settle into the attic for the cool season.
