Fontana’s arid climate and urban sprawl push desert-adapted pests into residential areas, especially during extreme heat or cooler months. The consistent search for water, food, and shelter drives infestations directly into homes and businesses.
Cockroaches: In Fontana's dry environment, cockroaches, particularly German and American species, aggressively infiltrate structures seeking moisture. They contaminate food preparation areas and spread bacteria, thriving in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.
Termites: Fontana is in a high-risk zone for termites. Subterranean termites construct mud tubes along foundations, while drywood termites infest exposed wood, silently destroying structural integrity. Regular inspections prevent significant damage.
Common Questions
Why are roaches a problem in Fontana?
Fontana's hot, dry climate forces roaches indoors to find water and cooler temperatures. They often enter through drains or cracks in foundations.
Can I prevent termites in Fontana myself?
While you can reduce conducive conditions (e.g., moisture control, wood-to-soil contact), professional treatment is essential for effective termite prevention and eradication in Fontana.
