Lake Arrowhead's distinct mountain climate, with its colder winters and surrounding forest, drives pests like rodents and spiders indoors seeking warmth and shelter. The seasonal changes dictate pest activity, pushing them closer to homes during harsher conditions.
Cockroaches: While less prevalent than in warmer, urban areas, cockroaches still infiltrate Lake Arrowhead cabins and homes. They often enter during warmer months or seek shelter inside when winter temperatures drop, congregating in damp basements or utility areas.
Termites: Lake Arrowhead experiences a moderate to high risk for subterranean termites, as they remain active in the ground below the freeze line. Drywood termites can also infest older wood structures and cabins, especially during warmer months.
