Insects and Spiders

• Ants
  Looking for reliable ant control services in Beverly Hills, CA? Look no further than A Step Above Pest Control & Termite! Our team of expert pest exterminators is dedicated to helping households and businesses in the West Los Angeles area and beyond eliminate ant infestations.
• Spiders
  Spiders are pests that, when living outside and away from people, are beneficial. The biggest role they play is in pest control. Spiders are predators that feed on many insects that, if their populations become too large, would damage crops, spread diseases, or cause damage to our homes.
• Termites
  Termites are a homeowner’s worst nightmare. They can cause thousands of dollars in damage, and you often don’t even know they’re there. An annual, professional termite inspection is crucial for keeping your space pest-free.
• Bed Bugs
  Bed bugs are some of the most resilient pests on the planet. The tiny, flat insects are masters at hiding and are also highly resistant to most traditional pesticides. These two factors combined make them a nightmare for homeowners to try and get rid of on their own.
• Fleas
  Fleas are tiny insects that take over our Los Angeles area indoor and outdoor spaces and cause people and pets big problems. Their flattened bodies, covered in a hard shell, provides them with protection against being squished. The flea’s large back legs enable them to jump with ease onto their hosts. These insects travel most effectively on the backs of their animal hosts.
• Cockroaches
  Roaches are one of the most common pests in the world. They are also one of the most difficult to eliminate. Cockroaches are known for their ability to adapt to a wide range of environments and reproduce quickly. If you have a roach problem, it is important to act fast to prevent the infestation from spreading.
• Silverfish
• Bees
  Bees are a very important part of a thriving ecosystem, but they can also be problematic for many people. Approximately five percent of the population experience severe allergic reactions to bee stings that are sometimes fatal. It is best to leave bee control to trained professionals with knowledge of bee behavior and handling.
• Wasps
  Our team provides comprehensive pest control services for your home through a combination of effective treatment and preventative measures. While every pest situation is unique, we're prepared to assist you every step of the way, from cockroaches and spiders to wasps and termites and several other pests.
• Ticks
  As ticks feed on different hosts throughout their life, they can acquire and spread diseases that make people and animals sick. Tularemia, Lyme disease, babesiosis, and ehrlichiosis are examples of diseases spread by ticks in California. Coming into contact with ticks regularly or having ticks living on your property increases the risk of a tick bite.
• Crickets
• Earwigs
• Mosquitoes
  Mosquitoes in your Van Nuys yard are an insect that nobody should tolerate, not even for ten minutes. These pests swarm in large numbers, and the females bite us to consume blood meals, leaving behind itchy, unsightly welts.
• Flies
  Flies are insects that wear many hats; they are predators, scavengers, parasites, and prey for other animals. In our homes, flies also wear the unfortunate hat of an unwanted pest.
• Centipedes
• Millipedes
• Beetles
  Pantry pests are a group of pests that feed and breed on stored food products. Wherever food is regularly stored is a place where pantry pests can thrive. Some of the most common pantry pests in the Los Angeles area are Indian meal moths, cigarette beetles, and drugstore beetles.
• Scorpions
  Like most other types of stinging pests, scorpions have venom that is strong enough to cause harm to people. Avoiding contact with these pests is always best because while being stung by scorpions isn’t typically life-threatening, their stings are painful and can trigger allergic reactions. However, the Arizona bark scorpion is the most concerning species in the United States; they have venom that does do produce life-threatening symptoms.
• Hornets
  Before treatments can be applied, your specially trained service technician will conduct a thorough inspection of your property to determine the severity of the problem and the location of the hive(s). We take a proactive approach to bee control in Los Angeles that is designed to keep your property free from bees, wasps, hornets, and other stinging insects.
• Moths
• Pantry Pests
  Pantry pest larvae cause the damage and food contamination these pests are known for. Adults lay their eggs on an appropriate food source, and when the larvae hatch, they begin to feed on the food provided, contaminating it with their saliva, shed skins, and excrement.
• Stinging Insects
  Stinging insects are unique pests that are both helpful and harmful at the same time. Out in nature, away from people and our structures, they are vital, playing many different roles in the environment, such as pollinators and predators, helping to control nuisance insect populations.
• Mites
  The bird mite is a type of tiny arachnid whose preferred host is the bird. These tiny mites use their specialized mouthparts to feed on the blood and skin of birds. Their main source of food is young birds still in their nests.
• Springtails
• Gnats
• Pill Bugs
• Sow Bugs

Bird Control

• Birds
  To remove unwanted birds from your property, take the step of contacting your local bird control experts at A Step Above Pest Control & Termite. We are committed to our customers and providing them with quality pest control services.
• Pigeons
  Pigeons are very smart birds and, over time, have learned how beneficial it is to live with people. Our properties provide them with easy access to food and water, and our structures provide suitable roosting and nesting sites.

Rodent Control

• Rodents
  Torrance is also a great place to settle down for insects, rodents, and wildlife species of all kinds. Not only are these pests some of the worst of the worst, but they can quickly and easily take over our homes and businesses.
• Mice
  Rodents, like mice and rats, are common household pests. Many homeowners try to combat rodent infestations with typical DIY methods that are costly, unsanitary, and ineffective. Save yourself time and money, and partner with us at A Step Above Pest Control & Termite. Our pest control professionals have the high level of training necessary to remove rodent infestations and keep these critters from coming back.Â
• Rats
  Norway rats are the opposite; they are poor climbers and have dense, heavy bodies. These rodents prefer to nest and enter structures at ground level.
