Common Temple City Wildlife & Pest Problems We Solve

Temple City’s combination of mature landscaping, foothill proximity, and older homes creates specific pest challenges:

Roof Rats - Major Problem in Mature Trees

Temple City’s abundant fruit trees and decades-old oak/pine canopy provide perfect habitat for roof rats. These agile climbers access homes via:

  • Overhanging branches touching rooflines
  • Power lines running between trees
  • Dense ivy and vegetation on walls

Skunks & Opossums - Under Raised Foundations

Many Temple City homes feature raised foundations that attract:

  • Skunks seeking denning sites (city requires permits for removal)
  • Opossums nesting in crawl spaces
  • Both species drawn to fallen fruit and pet food

Raccoons - Increasing Foothill Activity

Temple City regularly issues alerts about raccoon sightings, especially near:

  • Foothill streets and canyon interfaces
  • Properties with koi ponds or water features
  • Unsecured garbage areas

Bats - Rabies Risk

Temple City has documented cases of bats testing positive for rabies. Professional removal is critical for:

  • Attic colonies
  • Eave and soffit dwellers
  • Any bat found inside living spaces

Mosquitoes - West Nile Concerns

West Nile-positive mosquito samples were detected in Temple City (October 2024). We help eliminate breeding sites in:

  • Clogged gutters
  • Standing water
  • Overgrown vegetation

(We do not provide mosquito treatment services but offer prevention consulting)
