Not sure what’s crawling, flying, or nesting on your property? Guarantee Pest Control’s Pest Identification Center is a local guide to the insects, rodents, and other pests most commonly found in Los Angeles and Orange County homes and businesses. Every page below covers what to look for, where the pest tends to show up in Southern California, and why it matters — so you can get an accurate picture before deciding on next steps.

Since 1958, our family-owned team has inspected homes throughout Los Angeles, Glendale, Downtown LA, the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley, Carson, Long Beach, Torrance, Lakewood, Norwalk, Hawthorne, and Orange County. We know which pests are actually common here — and which internet-famous pests (like the brown recluse spider) usually turn out to be a case of mistaken identity.

Browse the categories below to identify what you’re dealing with, then call 1-800-507-3787 or request a free estimate for a professional inspection and treatment plan, backed by our 3-month guarantee on most services, no-penalty cancellation, and eco-friendly Guarantee Green options.
