Inglewood is an incorporated city in southwestern Los Angeles County, in the South Bay region just east of Los Angeles International Airport. Its 2020 census population was 107,762, and its blocks hold a mix of houses, apartment buildings and commercial strips.
To the east, the Baldwin Hills rise above the city, and Kenneth Hahn State Regional Park now occupies the ground where a reservoir failed in 1963. That open hillside of park and landscaping sits close to residential blocks, and the border between the two is where wildlife, rodents and ants most often cross paths with households. The sections below cover what is worth knowing in 90301, 90302 and 90305.

Why are drywood termites an Inglewood problem?
UC IPM says the western drywood termite is most common along the Pacific coastal region and into the valleys, and Inglewood sits on that coastal plain. These termites live in dry, above-ground wood, so a stucco house with an attic, rafters and fascia can host a colony without any contact with the soil.
They are hard to spot until they swarm. Swarmers fly in the daytime in summer and fall, typically late summer or early fall in coastal and southern regions, and small hexagonal pellets under a kickout hole are the clearest sign. A termite inspection looks at the attic, eaves and trim, and the drywood termite control page explains local treatment. Where an infestation is widespread, termite fumigation is the whole-structure option.
Does the Baldwin Hills side of Inglewood bring more rodents and wildlife?
Kenneth Hahn State Regional Park and the Baldwin Hills are green ground in a dense urban area, and homes that back toward them share fences, planters and trees with that open space. Roof rats climb, nest in shrubs, trees and ivy, and use fences, wires and branches to reach roofs and attics, so mature landscaping at the edge of a lot matters.
UC IPM recommends trimming palm frond skirts, thinning oleanders and keeping about three feet between branches and the roofline. Sealing the structure afterward is attic and crawl space rodent exclusion. Wildlife such as raccoons and skunks is the California Department of Fish and Wildlife's concern, and this site seals entry points on the structure only, with no trapping or relocation.
Who treats mosquitoes in Inglewood, and who handles rats?
Inglewood is on the Los Angeles County West Vector Control District's list. The district's office is at 6750 Centinela Avenue in Culver City, and its job is mosquito abatement. It does not take on household pests, so a rat or ant problem is yours to deal with through a technician.
For rodent questions in the county, the LA County Vector Management Program at (626) 430-5450 is the public contact. If you want to know exactly which district covers your address, the guide to Los Angeles vector control districts explains how to check the map.
What do apartment and storefront owners in Inglewood need?
A city with this many duplexes, apartment buildings and commercial strips has a lot of shared walls and shared waste areas. Cockroaches and mice move through shared plumbing and wall voids, and a visit that covers only one unit tends to miss the source. Tell the technician which units or storefronts have noticed the pest.
Owners who manage several units or a restaurant corridor often prefer a recurring arrangement and a clear record of what was found. See commercial pest control and general pest control for the options. Branch 2 of the California Structural Pest Control Board's licences covers general pests such as ants, cockroaches, mice and rats, which is the category most multi-unit calls fall under.
How do Santa Ana winds and winter rain change things in Inglewood?
The Santa Ana season runs from October to March, with dry air from the northeast and humidity that can drop into single digits. After the dry months, the storm window from November to April arrives, and ants that were hunting for water indoors may now move in to escape the rain. Argentine ant colonies also merge in fall, so winter is when large colonies are easiest to bait.
Termites follow their own calendar. Western subterranean termites swarm on calm, sunny days right after the first autumn rains, and drywood swarmers fly in summer and fall. If you spot wings in a window track, keep a few in a sealed bag and call. The Los Angeles pest calendar shows how these seasons stack up, and Argentine ant control explains the bait approach.
What does a termite or pest visit in Inglewood look like?
A technician typically begins outside, looking at the foundation, vents, eaves and landscaping touching the house, then moves to the attic and any crawl space. Pellets under a kickout hole, mud tubes on a foundation wall and gnaw marks near a vent each point to a different pest, and each calls for a different fix.
After the walk-through, the technician explains what was found and what the options are, and the price is confirmed on site before any work starts. Customers can ask the company for its licence number before work begins, and for termite work in particular California's Structural Pest Control Board licences three branches: fumigation, general pest and termite.

Do I need a termite inspection before buying in Inglewood?
California home sales commonly include a wood-destroying pests and organisms inspection report, which is governed by the Structural Pest Control Act. A technician can inspect the attic, eaves and foundation and explain the findings, and the price is confirmed before the visit.
Does the West Vector Control District treat roaches or rats?
No. The district does mosquito abatement. For rats, the LA County Vector Management Program is the public contact, and a pest technician handles control and sealing on private property.

Phones are answered 24/7 at (855) 974-4733, and a visit is booked for the same day when a technician is free. It is not guaranteed, but the call is answered at any hour.
Can you get rid of raccoons or skunks near my fence?
No. Wildlife is overseen by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, which does not permit relocating wild animals. A technician seals gaps on the structure, and removing food, water and shelter is the standard advice for the yard.
