Learn about Fall Pest Trends in Southern California and How to Keep Pests Out
As the weather cools and daylight hours shorten, fall brings a familiar shift—not just in scenery, but in pest activity. Southern California’s mild climate means pests are active year-round, and fall signals a surge in intruders seeking warmth, food, and shelter.
Fall Pest Trends: What’s Invading Los Angeles County and Orange County
Rodents on the Move
Cooler nights drive rats and mice indoors as they search for food and safe nesting areas. Homes with easy access points—small gaps around doors, vents, or pipes—are prime targets.
Other Fall Pest Invaders
Ants, spiders, and cockroaches also become more noticeable as they seek food sources and comfortable nesting spaces inside and around homes.
How to Fall-Proof Your SoCal Home: Expert Pest Prevention Tips
1. Seal Entry Points
Even small openings invite pests inside. Use steel wool with caulk, mesh, and weatherstripping to close gaps around doors, pipes, vents, and baseboards.
2. Eliminate Food & Water Sources
Store food in airtight containers, clean crumbs promptly, secure trash cans, and avoid leaving pet food outside overnight.
3. Tidy Up the Yard
Trim back shrubs and tree branches that touch your home, reduce dense mulch near the foundation, and keep grass short.
4. Know Where Pests Hide
Fall rodent favorites include attics, crawl spaces, wall cavities, and beneath cabinetry. Keep these areas clean, clutter-free, and well-inspected.
