Current Pest Advisory for Thai Town (August 2026)
This August’s hot, dry weather is driving two major pests into Thai Town homes: roof rats and German cockroaches. The heat pushes roof rats to seek cooler, shaded areas, and our dense cluster of 1920s-1940s apartment buildings and bungalows with raised foundations provides perfect harborage. With the 101 Freeway acting as a highway for rodents and the abundance of food waste from the many Thai restaurants along Hollywood Boulevard and Normandie Avenue, rat populations are thriving. Check your attic, crawlspace, and roofline for gnaw marks, droppings, or rub marks along pipes and beams. The same food sources, combined with warm, humid conditions near leaky pipes in older stucco buildings, are fueling explosive German cockroach growth. These roaches are often found in kitchens and bathrooms, so look for small, pepper-like droppings, egg cases, and a musty odor, especially behind appliances and in cabinets. The flat terrain and limited green space mean pests concentrate in our built environment, so vigilance is key. Below are the top-rated Los Angeles exterminators who specialize in these specific seasonal threats.
