Why Regular Pest Control is Essential for Glendale and Burbank Homes ?

You might be wondering, “Do I really need a contract, or can I just call when I see bugs?” In Glendale and Burbank—where warm weather, older housing stock, and lush landscaping collide—regular pest control Glendale Burbank isn’t a luxury; it’s preventive maintenance that saves money, health, and headaches.

Top Homeowner Questions

Q	A (Concise & Actionable)
1. How do I know I have rodents?	Gnaw marks, oily rub lines, attic scratching at night. Confirm with a FLIR thermal scan during a free rodent inspection.
2. Is bait safe for pets & kids?	Termike uses EPA-approved, tamper-resistant stations—safe when placed & locked by a licensed pro.
3. How often should I service?	Every 30–90 days. Monthly for high-pressure zones near canyons; quarterly for low-pressure suburbs.
4. Will insurance cover termite damage?	No—standard policies exclude it. Regular pest control Glendale Burbank plans cost far less than repairs.
5. Does eco-friendly really work?	Yes—botanical oils and reduced-risk actives meet DPR standards and match synthetic efficacy (California DPR, 2024).

The Hidden ROI of Regular Pest Control Glendale Burbank

1. Stops Structural Damage Before It StartsSubterranean termites thrive in the alluvial soils under Glendale hillsides (LA County Vector Control, 2025) and can hollow studs in 5 months. A scheduled liquid barrier or bait system blocks colonies early.

   
   

2. Protects Family Health

   • Roof rats carry fleas that transmit murine typhus—28 cases in LA County last year (CDC Morbidity Report, 2025).

   • Cockroach allergens trigger asthma in 63 % of infested Burbank homes (CA DPR survey, 2024).Regular treatments cut these risks dramatically.

   
   

3. Preserves Property ValueRealtors report termite-free wood destroying organism (WDO) clearances add 2-3 % to closing price. Regular pest control Glendale Burbank keeps escrow surprises off the table.

   
   

4. Cost PredictabilityPreventive plans average $45–$65/month—far less than the $8,700 median damaged-wood repair bill after an unchecked infestation.
