Common pests in Valencia, CA

There's no shortage of things to do and exciting places to explore in the Los Angeles area. Santa Clarita and Valencia are just close enough to the big city for convenience, but far enough away to relax. However, Los Angeles and its surrounding areas can also play host to a variety of pests. Unfortunately, these freeloaders can cause damage to homes and businesses.

The most common pests we find in Valencia include:

Termites

These wood-eating pests can cause costly damage to a home or business. The most common types of termites in Valencia and San Clarita include the Western subterranean and Western drywood termites.

Mosquitoes

Los Angeles and Santa Clarita are home to somewhere around 53 unique species of mosquitoes. While most mosquitoes can be a nuisance and leave itchy bites on your skin, some mosquitoes can carry pathogens that cause diseases like West Nile virus.

Bees

While honey bees are essential for crop pollination, they can sometimes become pests by building their hives inside buildings. Bee stings can cause serious allergic reactions in some people. Aggressive species, like Africanized honey bees, can be a serious threat to humans and animals.

Rodents

You may find mice and rats in businesses or homes in the Valencia area. These rodents are not good house guests and can chew holes in walls, eat through wires and contaminate food.

Bed Bugs

These parasitic bugs wait until you're asleep and vulnerable before they attack and bite exposed skin. If you wake up and find itchy red spots on your skin, you may have some bed bugs in your home.
