Pest control in Silver Lake covers 90026 and 90039, served from the Los Angeles office on Cahuenga Blvd W a short drive away. Older duplexes and apartment buildings move German roaches and mice between units, hillside homes around the reservoir see roof rats, raccoons and opossums, and period wood homes carry drywood termite exposure. Call (323) 329-3792, answered 24/7.
What we see here
Two kinds of housing, two kinds of problem
Silver Lake's housing splits into two pest profiles. On the flats and along the main streets, older duplexes, fourplexes and small apartment buildings share walls, plumbing chases and trash areas, which lets German roaches and mice travel between units and bed bugs move with tenants. Treating one unit at a time rarely holds; building-level work with documented findings for the owner does.
Up in the hills around the reservoir and toward Elysian Park, homes sit on steep lots under mature canopy, many on posts or over open crawl spaces with decks below. Roof rats travel ivy, trees and utility lines to rooflines, raccoons and opossums den under decks, and decades of exposure mean drywood termites in older framing and decks.

Common questions
Asked by Silver Lake callers
Many buildings are older duplexes, fourplexes and small apartment blocks with shared walls and plumbing chases, which let German roaches and mice move between units. Treatment around the building's shared lines, with findings documented for the owner, is what holds.
Yes. The hills around the reservoir and toward Elysian Park have mature canopy, ivy and utility lines that roof rats travel, and raccoons and opossums den under decks and in crawl spaces on steep lots.
Yes. Bungalows and period homes from the 1920s onward carry decades of drywood termite exposure, and hillside decks and stilted homes add more exposed wood.
Yes. Restaurant programs run after close with documentation built for health inspections, covering kitchens, drains and the alleys behind them.
Quickly. The Los Angeles office on Cahuenga Blvd W is a short drive east, so same-day visits are routine.
Yes, both 90026 and 90039, from the flats along Sunset Blvd to the hillside streets around the reservoir.
