Find Your Best Pest Control Option
Answer two quick questions to see if you qualify for cost-free services, or to compare the pros and cons of handling it yourself versus hiring a pro.
Find a Trusted Local Pest Control Technician
The Inland Empire’s intense summer heat drives pests indoors, but navigating code enforcement for rental properties here can be a maze.
Triple-digit heat waves trigger massive migrations of Turkestan Cockroaches and Bark Scorpions seeking water and cool air inside homes. For renters, broken AC units combined with roach infestations are considered an “Imminent Health Hazard.” However, San Bernardino is a patchwork of cities and large “unincorporated” areas (like Muscoy or Bloomington). Calling the wrong code enforcement agency will delay help. Meanwhile, standard DIY contact sprays simply evaporate before penetrating the hardened exoskeletons of local desert pests. We strongly advise using professional “micro-encapsulated” perimeter treatments.
