Restaurants and food service
Kitchens, prep areas, dish pits and dumpster enclosures are checked for roaches, flies and rodents. Visits are timed around service, and the focus is on sanitation, sealing and monitoring rather than blanket spraying.

Commercial Pest Control: what it covers
Quick answer
Commercial pest control in Los Angeles is a scheduled program of inspection, sanitation advice, exclusion and targeted treatment for restaurants, apartment buildings, warehouses and offices. Los Angeles Pest Control answers calls 24/7 and connects businesses with a technician serving Los Angeles County, who builds the plan around the building and confirms the price on site.
A pest problem in a business is more than a nuisance. A roach in a dining room, a rodent in a stockroom or bed bugs in a rental unit can cost customers, inspections and tenants, and word travels fast in a city this size. The aim of commercial service is to find pressure points before they turn into complaints.
A technician starts by walking the building with whoever manages it: delivery doors, drains, dumpster areas, storage, break rooms and the roofline. From that walk comes a schedule that fits the site, whether that is monthly in a restaurant kitchen or less often in a quiet warehouse. Call (855) 974-4733 to describe the property and the pest.

How often does a Los Angeles business need pest service?
It depends on the type of site and the pest pressure. Food service and multi-unit buildings often need more frequent visits, while a quiet office or warehouse may need less. A technician sets the schedule after a site walk and adjusts it if sightings, deliveries or seasons change the risk.
A fixed schedule that fits one kitchen can be wrong for the next. A site with a steady stream of deliveries, an old drain system or a shared wall with a neighboring restaurant has a different risk than a sealed office suite.
Ask for a plan that explains what each visit includes and how you can call in a sighting between visits. A plan that is not adjusted when pressure rises is not doing its job.
What does a commercial service record include?
A good service record lists the date, the technician, the areas inspected, what was found, what was applied and where, plus recommendations for the manager. Keeping those records helps you show an inspector or landlord that pests are being managed, and helps the technician track trends from visit to visit.
Ask for a copy after each visit and keep them together with your sighting log. If you notice a pest between visits, write down the date, place and what you saw, since that helps the technician target the follow-up.
You can also ask the company for its licence number before work starts. California's Structural Pest Control Board licenses structural pest work, and a company must register with the Agricultural Commissioner of each county where it works.
Who is responsible for pests in a rented or multi-unit building?
Responsibility depends on the lease, the type of pest and local rules, and a lawyer or housing agency can advise on the details. In practice, building-wide pests such as roaches and bed bugs are best handled by the property manager with a technician, because treating one unit alone often fails.
Tenants should report sightings promptly and in writing, with dates and photos. Managers should respond quickly and plan work that covers adjoining units and shared areas.
Commercial tenants in a shared building should ask what the landlord's pest program already covers, so that the business plan fills gaps rather than duplicating work.
Do vector control districts handle pests in businesses?
Not household or business pests. Vector control districts treat public-health pests such as mosquitoes. The Greater Los Angeles County Vector Control District does not do rodent control, and rodent questions go to the Los Angeles County Vector Management Program at (626) 430-5450. A restaurant or warehouse needs a licensed pest company for rodents and roaches.
District service for mosquitoes is free, which helps if your property has standing water or a neglected pool next door. Our mosquito control page explains where the district stops and a technician starts.
For rodents, see rat and mouse control, and for sealing rooflines and utility openings, see attic and crawl space exclusion.
What can a manager do between visits to keep pests out?
Keep food sealed and off the floor, empty and wash waste bins, fix leaks, and keep doors closed and swept. Store items off the ground and away from walls, and log every sighting with the date and location. These habits do more than any treatment, because pests need food, water and shelter.
Walk the building weekly with a flashlight and check under sinks, behind equipment, around drains and along back doors. Report anything unusual before the next scheduled visit.
Train staff to report sightings quickly and not to spray on their own, since repellent products can scatter roaches and make baits less effective. A short checklist posted in the break room helps.

Our process
How our commercial pest control visit works
Site walk and risk review
The technician inspects the building inside and out with a manager: entrances, drains, storage, waste areas, utility penetrations and the roofline, and asks about past sightings and complaints.
Written plan and price
You receive a schedule, the pests it covers and the price, confirmed on site before work starts. Service frequency follows what the building actually needs.
Exclusion and sanitation advice
Gaps, door sweeps, drains and waste practices are reviewed, because treatment holds only when food, water and entry points are dealt with.
Targeted treatment and monitoring
Baits, monitors and labeled treatments are placed where pests travel and hide, and traps or stations are recorded so activity can be tracked from visit to visit.
Service records and follow-up
Each visit is logged with what was found and what was done, and recommendations are noted for the manager. Urgent sightings between visits can be called in 24/7.
Options
Types and options for commercial pest control
Apartment buildings and multi-unit property
Shared walls, trash rooms and laundry areas spread pests between units. A plan may combine building-wide treatment with unit-by-unit response for cockroaches or bed bugs.
Warehouses, offices and industrial sites
Loading docks, pallets and storage racks give rodents and insects shelter. Exterior bait stations, door seals and routine monitoring are common, and the schedule is set after the site walk.

Los Angeles County
Why commercial pest control is different in Southern California
Los Angeles commercial pest work spans very different buildings: restaurant rows and older masonry blocks in the downtown flats around ZIP 90012, industrial and warehouse space on the Vernon side, and the Valley's boulevards along Ventura Boulevard and the Hollywood Freeway corridor. A schedule that works for one will not fit another, which is why the first step is a site walk.
Dense mixed-use buildings carry pests from one space to the next. A dingbat apartment block, the two- or three-storey type with a ground-floor carport that went up in large numbers in the postwar decades, shares walls, trash areas and plumbing between units. Tenants in a shared building should ask what the property manager's pest program covers.
Neighborhood business districts such as Hollywood, Boyle Heights, Burbank and Glendale each have their own mix of restaurants, apartment blocks and storage. The technician plans for the building in front of them rather than the postcode.
Restaurant districts and corridors of multi-unit buildings across the city share back alleys, dumpsters and grease traps, so a neighbor's problem can become yours. A technician who knows the block can focus on shared entry points, waste handling and drains.
Warehouses and industrial buildings often have large doors, dock plates and pallet storage, all of which give rodents and insects a way in. Door sweeps, sealed gaps and exterior stations are common recommendations, and the plan is set after the site walk.

FAQ
Commercial Pest Control FAQs
Can you service a restaurant after hours?
Calls are answered 24/7, and the technician can discuss timing on site. Many food-service visits are scheduled outside service hours, so the kitchen is not disturbed. Same-day service is offered only when a technician is free.
Do I need a contract for commercial pest control?
Plans differ, so ask what the visit schedule, price and any term include before you agree. A one-time treatment is possible for a single problem, but ongoing pressure is often better managed with a schedule.
What if pests appear between scheduled visits?
Call the line and describe what you saw, where and when. A technician can decide whether the issue can wait for the next visit or needs an extra one.
Do you treat apartment buildings one unit at a time?
It depends on the pest. For roaches and bed bugs, treating one unit alone often fails because the pests move between units. A technician usually looks at adjoining units and shared areas as part of the plan.
Can a business get a list of past treatments?
Ask for service records after each visit and keep them on file. Records show the dates, areas and products used, and are useful for managers, landlords and anyone asking about your pest program.
Will treatment disrupt my customers?
Most commercial work is targeted: monitors, baits and crack treatments rather than sprays across public areas. The technician tells you which areas to keep clear and for how long.
Do you handle termite work in commercial buildings?
Termite inspections and treatment are covered on separate pages, including termite inspection and drywood termite control. Tell the call line what you have seen, and the technician will advise on the right approach.
