Downey’s urban density and Southern California climate create continuous pest pressure. Mild temperatures year-round mean pests remain active, while urban infrastructure provides ample hiding spots and entry points, leading to constant infestations in homes and businesses.
Cockroaches: In Downey’s dense urban environment, cockroaches, particularly German and American species, thrive in sewers and tight spaces. They infiltrate homes through shared walls, drain pipes, and open windows, actively seeking food debris and moisture in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility areas.
Termites: Downey, like much of Southern California, experiences a high risk of termite infestations. Subterranean termites attack from the soil, while drywood termites infest exposed wood. Homeowners must address any signs of termite activity immediately to protect their property's significant investment.
