Pest Control in Trousdale Estates, San Fernando Valley

As the August heat bakes the hillsides of Trousdale Estates, the top two pests to watch for are drywood termites and roof rats. The hot, dry conditions (85°F average) accelerate termite swarming, and the flat roofs and complex drainage systems of your mid-century modern homes—like those on Wallace Ridge and Doheny Road—create ideal microclimates for termite colonies to thrive in wood-to-soil contacts and weep holes of retaining walls. Meanwhile, the adjacent Greystone Park and lush landscaping provide food and harborage for roof rats, who seek out the cool, shaded crawlspaces and pool equipment niches common in these hillside properties. The steep terrain and extensive retaining walls act as highways, funneling rodents directly to your rooflines and attics. Look for mud tubes on foundation walls, discarded wings near windows, or hollow-sounding wood for termites; for rats, check for droppings in the garage, gnaw marks on irrigation lines, or scampering sounds in the attic at dusk.
