The Coachella Valley is a stunning place to live, but as the desert heat intensifies during the summer, it’s common for residents to seek seasonal relief elsewhere. But before you head for cooler climates, keep in mind that your vacant home becomes a prime target for unwelcome desert dwellers. Rodents, cockroaches, ants, spiders, crickets, scorpions and other critters thrive in the Valley’s extreme summer conditions and are known to take advantage of empty, unprotected homes.
Lee Flores, owner of Pestology and a Biology major, warns that pest control is more than just spraying—it’s a science. “Pest control expertise stems from an intricate balance between knowledgeable comprehension of managing pests and rodents, all while considering environmental factors and human habitat safety,” Lee explains.
While pest control seems to mainly be a concern for full-time residents and commercial businesses, Lee says some of the worst infestations he’s encountered have been in vacation homes. “These properties often sit empty for months,” he shares, “and that’s when pests strike.” Mice, for example, can slip through holes as small as a dime and survive on minimal resources. Even worse, a single mouse can turn into 60 in just three months. Even homes occupied by short-term renters or AirBnB guests are not immune. An unchecked pest problem could lead to costly damage—and most likely, a negative review that tarnishes your rental reputation for good.
To avoid unpleasant surprises when you return—or to protect your rental income—Lee strongly recommends Pestology’s reoccurring pest control services. It’s a simple, affordable, and year-round preventative solution that keeps your home protected and pest-free, even when you’re away.
