Summer is peak pest season in Southern California—and most infestations don’t start overnight.

☀️ June: Argentine ants begin pushing indoors for water.
☀️ July: Wasp and yellowjacket activity ramps up.
☀️ August: Rodent pressure, spider activity, and palm weevil risk reach their peak.

One of the biggest misconceptions we hear? That pests show up because a home is dirty.

In reality, summer pests are usually looking for three things:
✔ Water
✔ Shelter
✔ Easy access

A dripping hose bib, tree branch touching the roof, or small gap around a utility line can be all it takes.

Our latest guide breaks down exactly what Southern California homeowners can expect from June through August across San Diego, Orange County, and Riverside County—including a month-by-month pest activity calendar and simple prevention tips that actually work.

Summer is when one unit's pest problem becomes everyone's problem. 🏢

In multi-unit properties across Southern California, heat pushes pests deeper indoors — and shared walls, pipe chases, and tenant turnover make it easy for them to travel from one unit to the next.

Here's what we see every summer:
→ Ants and roaches following moisture into kitchens and shared utility spaces
→ One untreated unit quietly seeding the units around it
→ Small issues compounding before anyone files a complaint

A scheduled, documented program costs less than reactive call-outs — and it protects your reputation with residents.

We work around resident schedules, document every visit, and keep you in the loop.

🌴 If your palm trees have been pruned recently — this is worth 2 minutes of your time.

Palm weevil infestations in San Diego, Orange County, and Riverside move fast. Most of the damage happens inside the tree, weeks before anything looks wrong from the outside. By the time fronds start wilting or the crown collapses, saving the palm is usually no longer possible.

We put together a full breakdown of what's actually happening by season, which palm species are most at risk across SoCal, and what the treatment window looks like month by month. 👇

Palm weevil infestations are often fatal by the time symptoms appear. AG Pest explains treatment timing, at-risk palm species, and professional control programs across SoCal.

May is a critical treatment month for palm weevils in Southern California.

The weevil's lifecycle means there's a specific window when treatment is most effective — and it's right now.

We treat palms for weevil infestations across San Diego, Orange County, and Riverside. If you have palms on your property — or manage a community with palms — reach out now.

Palm trees in Southern California are under attack — and most homeowners don't know it until it's too late.

The South American Palm Weevil burrows into the crown (the growing tip) and destroys it from the inside. By the time you see visible damage, the window to save the tree is already closing.

If your palms look off — don't wait. We do palm health inspections and can tell you exactly what you're dealing with.

🌴 Protect your palms before they're gone.

Hearing scratching in your ceiling at 2am?

Spring is the most active season for roof rats in San Diego, Orange County, and Riverside, and most homeowners don't realize they have a nest until it's been there for weeks.

A few things worth knowing before you grab a trap from the hardware store:

Store-bought bait kills the rodents you have but does nothing to seal the entry points. The next wave moves in within weeks. Lasting results require exclusion first, trapping second.

We put together a full breakdown of what drives rodent pressure in each county, the signs to catch them early, and what professional exclusion actually involves.

If you've been hearing things at night — scratching, scurrying, something moving — don't wait to find out what it is.

Spring is when rodents actively move and nest. Attics are their #1 target in Southern California.

What they do once they're in:→ Chew wiring (fire risk)→ Damage insulation→ Contaminate HVAC systems→ Breed fast

A rodent inspection takes about 30 minutes and is free.👇
