Ant Control
Hot summers make ant invasions one of the most common Burbank calls.
Burbank sits in the eastern San Fernando Valley at the foot of the Verdugo Mountains. Summers are hot, the city’s housing ranges from pre-war bungalows to newer apartment buildings, and the hillside neighborhoods border open space — all of which show up in the pest problems residents deal with.
Neighborhoods around Magnolia Park and the Media District include many older single-story homes with wood siding or stucco, detached garages and raised foundations. These are good candidates for periodic termite inspection, and their mature yards and fruit trees can draw ants. Apartment buildings throughout the city share the usual multi-unit concerns with cockroaches and bed bugs.
Homes in the Burbank hills, near the Verdugos and around Wildwood Canyon, back onto chaparral. Expect more spiders, wasps and outdoor insects, and pay attention to brush, wood piles and decks.
Burbank’s summer heat is a common trigger for ant invasions as colonies look for water. Fixing leaks, moving irrigation away from the foundation and sealing entry points make treatment more effective.
Burbank is within the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District, which handles public mosquito surveillance and reports of neglected pools and other public sources.

No. Burbank is a separate city in Los Angeles County, bordered by the City of Los Angeles and Glendale.
Heat dries out outdoor nests, and ants move indoors looking for water. Treatment aimed at the colony, plus fixing leaks and entry points, works best.
