Common Houshold Pests
Pests are more than annoying; they can pose serious risks to your health and property. Mira Loma Pest Controls extensive training and advanced technology focus on attacking any pests already in your home and breaking the pest lifecycle to help control unwanted invaders in the future.

They can damage lawns, flowers, and vines, and they can girdle and kill young fruit trees. Their mounds sometimes smother small plants.

Clivia (Clivia species)
Coral bells (Heuchera species)
