Pest Control Orange County, CA

We provide trusted pest control services to homeowners throughout Orange County, including in neighborhoods like Balboa Island, Old Towne Orange, Westpark, Floral Park, Huntington Harbour, Eastside Costa Mesa, and Downtown Santa Ana. 

Yes, the treatments our Field Experts apply are always kid- and pet-friendly. We take a safety-minded approach that prioritizes the well-being of everyone in your household. We recommend keeping children and pets away from the treated areas until those locations have had a chance to dry. This timeframe is typically about 30 minutes for outdoor areas (depending on the weather), and 1 – 3 hours indoors (depending on the airflow in your home). 

For homeowners with bird cages, terrariums, and aquariums, we may recommend additional precautions. 

In Orange County, the most common pests include ants, cockroaches, spiders, and rodents, all of which thrive in the area’s warm climate. Black widows, brown widows, and other spider species are frequently found in garages, sheds, and under patio furniture. Ants often show up in kitchens and bathrooms looking for crumbs and water. Cockroaches and rodents are also attracted to these areas since they offer moisture, leftover food, and plenty of hiding spots. Fleas and ticks are also a concern for pet owners. 

Our local Field Experts are trained daily to provide the best pest control solutions for immediate results and year-round peace of mind for Orange County homeowners. 

For every pest you can see, there are many more lurking behind the scenes. Store-bought products may eliminate the visible pests temporarily, but all too often they fail to address the root of the problem. 

Our Field Experts use professional-grade products and proven techniques to reach pests where it counts: deep within those hiding spots and entry points that lie beyond the reach of most DIY solutions. Our pest control services are designed to stop infestations quickly, while ongoing treatments keep them in check throughout the year. 

Yes, we offer mosquito control services in Orange County. The region’s warm temperatures, coastal humidity, and rise in invasive species like the Aedes mosquito have made mosquito problems worse in recent years, especially in shaded yards and areas with standing water.  

Our service includes targeted fogging treatments and the use of In2Care Stations, which are discreet, low-profile devices that attract mosquitoes and disrupt their breeding cycle by preventing larvae from developing into biting adults. Our In2Care stations are serviced by Field Technicians every 21 – 30 days to help reduce mosquito populations and improve the comfort of your outdoor spaces throughout the year. 

Ants are one of the most common and persistent pests in Orange County, thanks to the region’s mild winters and dry summers that drive them indoors in search of food and water. Argentine ants, in particular, form massive colonies and can quickly overrun kitchens and bathrooms. 

Our Field Experts address ant infestations by identifying entry points, targeting nests with specialized treatments, and applying long-lasting barriers to prevent reinfestation. Our approach combines professional-grade products with expert knowledge to help eliminate active colonies and keep ants from coming back. 

The warm, Mediterranean climate we love in Orange County is also quite popular with pests. Our very mild winters allow invaders like ants, cockroaches, and rodents to remain active instead of going dormant, while warm, dry summers push them indoors in search of water.  

Coastal humidity also contributes to higher mosquito and spider populations. Because pests never fully disappear here, consistent pest control is essential to keep infestations in check and prevent structural damage, health risks, and recurring nuisance issues in and around your home. 

While our seasons in Orange County are less pronounced, each one brings its unique pest challenges. Spring triggers breeding and increased movement in ants, fleas, and spiders. Summer heat drives pests indoors, increasing activity in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages.  

In fall, rodents and insects seek shelter before cooler months, and in winter, mild temperatures allow pests like roaches and rodents to stay active. These seasonal shifts make year-round pest control especially important to anticipate changes in pest behavior and apply timely, targeted treatments that help prevent pest activity in your home. 

It’s actually common to see an uptick in pest activity after your initial service. As the treatment takes effect, it disrupts nesting areas and forces pests out into the open. While it might seem like the problem is getting worse, it actually means the products are doing their job. If pest activity continues between your scheduled visits, don’t worry. Moxie offers no-cost warranty reservice for customers who are on a year-round plan.
