Pest control in the Gateway Cities

Many homes here date from the post-war building boom, alongside older bungalows and larger apartment buildings.

Local property types and pests

  • Post-war single-family homes in Lakewood, Downey, Norwalk and Bellflower — often with raised foundations or slabs, garages and mature landscaping — see the usual mix of ants, roaches and spiders, plus termite concerns in original wood.
  • Apartments and older housing in Long Beach, South Gate and Compton mean shared walls and building-wide approaches to cockroaches and bed bugs.
  • River channels and drainage along the Los Angeles and San Gabriel rivers form part of the backdrop for mosquito activity; public districts handle those sources.

Public mosquito control

Most Gateway cities — including Downey, Bellflower, Cerritos, Artesia, Bell Gardens and Commerce — are served by the Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District. Long Beach runs its own Vector Control Program for most of the city. Check the agency for your address before reporting a public source.
