Inglewood Pest Control Services for Homes, Apartments and Restaurants

Census estimates put Inglewood's median year built at 1960. About 6,400 homes date from 1939 or earlier, 6,200 from the 1940s and 7,300 from the 1950s. Only about 1,300 of the city's 40,100 homes were built in 2010 or later. That holds even with the stadium district rising on the old Hollywood Park racetrack, whose grandstands were imploded in May 2015.

Age matters because every decade of roof work, plumbing repairs and remodeling can leave an opening behind. In houses of that era we expect worn attic and foundation vent screens, eaves that have pulled away from the stucco, and gaps where pipes and cables pass through walls. Rats, mice and cockroaches tend to find those openings before the owner does.

The mix of buildings matters too. About 15,100 homes are detached houses, roughly 5,500 sit in duplexes to fourplexes, and about 16,700 are in buildings of five or more units. On one block we may treat a 1930s bungalow and a two-story apartment building that need very different plans. [1] [2]

Inglewood has taken part in the airport's noise program since the 1980s, with airport and federal funding since 1985. By 2015, Los Angeles World Airports counted more than 5,300 soundproofed homes in the city. Crews typically install double-paned windows, solid-core doors, fireplace doors and dampers, attic baffles and insulation.

A January 2019 status report counted more than 7,000 Inglewood homes insulated so far. Under a newer 2020 noise map, about 2,300 homes were projected to take part, and 362 of those were already finished. It describes the standard home package as replacement windows and doors with weather-stripping, plus a ventilation system or air conditioning.

For pest control, that work cuts both ways. A soundproofed house likely has tight windows and doors. When mice or roaches still get in, they are probably using a spot the program did not touch. Think foundation and attic vents, the roofline, garage doors, or holes around pipes and refrigerant lines. That is where our inspection starts. [3] [4]

Inglewood is served by the Los Angeles County West Vector Control District, which reports West Nile virus by city. In 2024 the district logged 23 positive mosquito samples, and 22 came from Inglewood, the first collected on July 2. Inglewood also had one positive dead bird and five positive sentinel chickens that year.

The pattern held in 2025, a quiet year: seven of the district's nine positive mosquito samples were from Inglewood, starting August 5. As of October 20, 2026, Inglewood had 29 of the district's 74 positive samples, the first on July 28, plus five positive sentinel chickens.

PesPro does not do mosquito control. The district handles surveillance and treatment from its office at 6750 Centinela Ave in Culver City; residents can call (310) 915-7370 or file a request at lawestvector.org. [5] [6] [7] [8]

The California Department of Public Health lists Aedes aegypti as present in Inglewood, in a table updated May 1, 2026; the related Aedes albopictus is listed as not found. The vector district describes invasive Aedes as aggressive daytime biters that can also bite at night.

According to the district, these mosquitoes lay eggs above the waterline in containers holding as little as a teaspoon of water. The eggs can survive dry for up to two years. Plant saucers, buckets, clogged gutters, old tires, birdbaths and fountains are the places to check in an Inglewood yard each week. [10] [9]

County health inspections carry real weight for Inglewood food businesses. On August 4, 2026, LA County Public Health closed a sports bar and grill on South Market Street in downtown Inglewood for a vermin infestation. The closure cited California Health and Safety Code section 114259.1, and KTLA's list gave no reopening date.

A closure like that often starts with something small: a gap behind a bar cooler, a floor drain nobody checks, or cardboard stacked in dry storage. Our commercial visits happen before opening or after close. We use only products labeled for food areas, such as gel baits, growth regulators and traps, and each visit ends with a written log for the inspector. [11]

Los Angeles County Public Health counted 220 flea-borne typhus cases in 2025, its highest ever and up from 187 in 2024, and nearly nine in ten patients were hospitalized. Spectrum News reported 109 more county cases by late September 2026. These are county-wide numbers; we found no public count for Inglewood itself.

The county ties typhus to fleas on rats, stray cats and opossums. It asks residents to keep pets on year-round flea control, avoid feeding strays, secure trash and seal crawl spaces. In Inglewood's older houses, sealing those openings is the same work we do for rodents, so we often quote both together. [13] [14]

About 42,800 Inglewood residents age five and older speak Spanish at home, and roughly 20,000 of them speak English less than very well, according to the Census. Every PesPro technician works in English and Spanish, so the inspection, the written quote and any prep checklist can come in either language.

Our website can also be read in Chinese, Korean, Armenian, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Persian, Japanese and French, which helps relatives review the details. Visits and phone service are in English or Spanish. [1]
