Yes, all treatments are kid- and pet-friendly. When we visit homes in Riverside County, we always employ a safety-minded approach from start to finish. Our licensed Field Experts will recommend keeping children and pets away from treated areas until they have had a chance to completely dry. This usually takes around 30 minutes for outdoor treatments (depending on the weather), and between 1 and 3 hours for indoor treatments (depending on the airflow in your home). If you keep pets in fish tanks, terrariums, or bird cages, our experts may provide you with additional precautions.

Riverside County’s warm climate keeps pests active through much of the year. Inside homes, pests such as cockroaches, ants, and scorpions are common, drawn by food sources and shelter. Mosquitoes, spiders, and rodents thrive outdoors, especially in landscaped yards and irrigated areas. Seasonal shifts prompt rodents to seek indoor refuge during cooler months. With so many different pests active year-round, regular inspections and ongoing professional pest control are the best way to help protect Riverside homes and keep living spaces comfortable.

While you can attempt DIY pest control, most store-bought sprays and traps only deal with the pests you can see. Many insects, rodents, and other pests remain hidden, continuing to multiply and cause damage from behind the scenes.

Moxie’s licensed Field Experts can locate nests, apply targeted treatments, and create a plan to help keep pests from returning. With regular visits and expert strategies, professional pest control offers long-term results that are difficult to achieve with retail products alone.

Yes, Moxie provides mosquito control services in Riverside County. We apply monthly fogging treatments to reduce adult populations, and install In2Care Stations, which are discreet devices that target mosquitoes in their larval stage. Our Field Experts return every 21 to 30 days to service the stations, refresh treatments, and monitor activity. This combined approach helps keep mosquito activity down in your yard and makes your outdoor spaces more enjoyable throughout the season.

Yes, we apply effective treatments to help get rid of cockroaches for our Riverside County customers. Cockroaches are a common nuisance in California, where four cities rank among the nation’s most infested, including Riverside at #17. Cockroaches love heat and humidity, which is one reason they have invaded so many homes in our region.

Our Field Experts are trained to identify hiding spots, apply targeted treatments, and implement effective prevention strategies to keep these pests under control year-round.

Southern California’s balmy temperatures and limited rainfall allow pests to remain active for much of the year. Irrigation in yards creates consistent moisture that supports mosquitoes, ants, and other insects dependent on water. Warm conditions speed up breeding cycles, leading to faster population growth. Urban landscaping also offers shelter and food sources for a variety of pests. All of these factors make pests a year-round concern, which is why professional pest control is the most effective way to manage activity and prevent damage.

Yes, Riverside County’s pest activity changes noticeably throughout the year. Warmer months bring spikes in mosquitoes, ants, and wasps, especially where irrigation keeps soil damp and provides breeding sites. As temperatures cool in fall and winter, rodents and spiders move indoors seeking warmth, shelter, and food. Even seasonal rainfalls can temporarily increase pest activity by creating moist environments. Ongoing professional pest control adjusts strategies with these seasonal patterns to help keep your home protected year-round.

An increase in pest activity right after the first treatment is expected and is a sign that the treatment is working. The initial treatment disrupts pests and sends them fleeing from their hiding spaces and out into the open. After a follow-up treatment, you can expect to see a sharp decline in activity. If you notice that pests are active between scheduled visits, Moxie offers free warranty reservice visits to customers on our year-round plan.
