Find a Trusted Local Pest Control Technician
Orange County is a major quarantine zone for Red Imported Fire Ants (RIFA), which deliver painful, venomous stings and form massive interconnected super-colonies across property lines.
Furthermore, Santa Ana’s beautiful historic neighborhoods (like Floral Park and French Park) deal with severe Roof Rat pressure due to aging foundations, heavy utility lines, and mature fruit trees. DIY contact sprays and generic bait blocks often cause ant colonies to “bud” (fracture and spread further), and leave poisoned rats decaying inside historic wall voids. We strongly advise professional structural exclusion for rats and micro-encapsulated professional baits for fire ants.
