Tehachapi's high desert climate, with its cold winters and hot summers, creates intense pressure for pests to find shelter indoors. This dramatic temperature range forces insects and rodents into homes seeking warmth, cooling, or moisture, making pest prevention a year-round necessity for local residents.
Cockroaches: During Tehachapi's hot, dry summers, cockroaches aggressively seek indoor water sources, infiltrating bathrooms and kitchens. In colder months, they search for warmth, exploiting any structural gap. American and Oriental cockroaches commonly thrive in these variable conditions, finding harborage in damp, secluded areas.
Termites: Despite its higher elevation, Tehachapi remains a moderate to high-risk area for termites in California. The mild soil conditions allow subterranean termites to remain active, while drywood termites infest exposed lumber. Regular inspections are crucial to identify and eliminate these destructive pests before they compromise the integrity of homes.
