There are many Pasadena pest control companies, but most deal with extermination of insects. We deal strictly with wild animals, such as raccoon, skunk, opossum, and more. All City Wildlife Trapping differs from the average Pasadena exterminator business because we are licensed and insured experts, and deal only with animals. We are not merely trappers, but full-services nuisance wildlife control operators, offering advanced solutions.

Pasadena is a city located in the San Gabriel Valley of Los Angeles County, California. It began as land passed from Spain to Mexico as part of the Spanish mission, and was originally inhabited by migrants from the midwest. It currently has a population around 134,000 people, which makes it the eighth largest city surrounding Los Angeles. Pasadena is known for the annual Rose Bowl and Tournament of Roses Parade. Pasadena is also known for its Symphony, Civic Center, and playhouse. There is an abundance of live entertainment and visual arts present in Pasadena. One final interesting distinction of Pasadena is that has flocks of wild parrots that can be seen all year. No one is sure how the birds got here, but they have made Pasadena their home and many locals enjoy their colorful presence. We will not trap and remove these parrots, but we will capture nuisance wildlife in Pasadena and surrounding areas.

Pest Control - Invasive Munchie Bugs Spread to Southern California
By University of California-Davis Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program

“It’s imperative that we prevent this pest from migrating from urban areas into agricultural areas because the result could be devastating to California crops,” says Termite. There are many types of insects and animals in Pasadena, and other California cities, but not all of them are pests after all.

The root weevil larvae plunge underground and feed on the roots of the plant. They will often encircle the taproot, impeding the ability of the plant to take up water and nutrients, killing the plant. This type of injury also provides an avenue for root rot infections. A single larva can kill young plants while several larvae can cause serious decline of older, established plants. Because larvae are below ground, it is difficult to detect them before decline of above ground portions of the host is observed. Pasadena pest control is an important part of the local economy, but only a few California companies deal with wild animals.

In the Northern CA studies, researchers used a special trap called a “Teders trap” to collect adult Munchie Bugs. This trap acts like a tree trunk, and the emerging beetle climbs up it and is caught in a container at the top. Researchers also applied a strain of a fungus to the surface of the Tedders trap to kill adult Munchie Bugs. This way, the trap monitors the pest and also distributes the fungus into the weevil population to control it biologically. Most local owners of pest control companies in Pasadena, California weren’t sure what to make of all this.

In the Northern CA project, researchers also traveled to the Caribbean to collect tiny, stingless wasps (parasites) that attack the weevil’s eggs. Researchers released two parasites in groves and ornamentals that were infested with the pest in 10 counties in southern and central Northern CA in 1999 and 2001, respectively. Currently, the parasite — Aprostocetus vaquitarum — seems to have established well, however, it is sensitive to some insecticides.
