Booming Population Of Rats And Roaches In Santa Clarita

Roaches - UNIPEST - Santa Clarita Pest Control

I had a live on-air interview on KHTS FM 98.1 & AM 1220 recently to talk about the booming population of rats and roaches here in Santa Clarita and how it got to be so bad.

When it comes to cleanliness in order to be proactively avoiding bugs and rats, it used to be true that you could take the trash out often and avoid messes and you wouldn’t get pests as often.

You used to have to be a dirtbag to have rats in your restaurant. Then, California outlawed the top eight most effective rodenticides for over the counter purchases, so since then, the population of rats has just been booming here in Santa Clarita, even in the restaurants.

Sidenote, Dario’s restaurant here in Santa Clarita has the cleanest restaurant I’ve ever been in.

In 2015, a bunch of legislation was passed that outlawed single feed rodenticides. Basically, it used to take one dose of a pesticide to kill a rat, and now with new restrictions on ingredients, it takes three or more feeds in a row of multiple feeds to kill it.

Pest control used to be a more do-it-yourself problem that was easily fixed with easy to purchase pesticides. You used to have to have filthy living conditions to get rats and roaches at your house, but now, you just have to have a properly groomed lawn. We can handle any pest situation.

We offer pest control for families. We come out at our scheduled time each month and take care of the pests while you are at work. Our products are safe for kids and animals, but are extremely efficient in getting rid of the pests in our homes.

Unipest Pest and Termite Control began as a father-son project out of the family garage in Valencia, California.  After years in the industry, Cardon Ellis teamed up with his father Craig, a CPA to form a new type of pest control company just for families and companies who wanted a better, more modern approach to pest control in Santa Clarita.
