Pest Control in Garvey Ranch, San Gabriel Valley

This August’s hot, dry conditions are driving subterranean termites and Argentine ants into overdrive across Garvey Ranch. The sandy loam soils and slab foundations common in your post-war Ranch and Minimal Traditional homes create ideal conditions for subterranean termites, which are actively foraging in the soil and seeking moisture around concrete slabs and foundation edges. The limited tree cover and ornamental shrubs near the 60 Freeway provide harborage for Argentine ants, which are marching in trailing columns along driveways and garage edges in search of water and food. Watch for mud tubes on foundation walls, hollow-sounding wood, and discarded wings near windows—classic signs of termites—and for ant trails along sidewalks, patios, and garage floors. The urban heat from nearby businesses and the freeway only intensifies their activity, so inspect the perimeter of your home, especially around the Garfield Medical Center side of the neighborhood, and seal any cracks in your slab or garage thresholds.
