Pest problems rarely appear overnight. In most cases, your home shows clear warning signs long before an infestation becomes severe. Ignoring these signs can lead to costly damage, health risks, and ongoing frustration. Knowing when to call professional pest control can save you time, money, and stress.

At Angel City Pests, we often see homeowners attempt temporary fixes that only mask the problem. If pests keep returning, it’s usually a sign of a deeper issue that requires professional inspection and targeted treatment.

When pests appear during the daytime, cause structural damage, or multiply rapidly, it’s no longer a DIY problem — it’s time for expert intervention.

Unusual sounds in walls, droppings, gnaw marks, foul odors, or visible pest activity are all indicators that an infestation may already be established. These warning signs should never be ignored, especially when pests pose health or safety risks.

Common Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

Professional pest control is essential when infestations grow beyond surface-level issues. Here are some of the most common red flags that signal immediate action is needed.

  • Frequent sightings of pests, especially during daylight hours.
  • Droppings, urine stains, or unpleasant odors in kitchens, basements, or attics.
  • Scratching or movement sounds inside walls or ceilings.
  • Damage to wiring, insulation, wood, or stored food.
  • Recurring infestations despite repeated DIY treatments.

Angel City Pests provides fast, effective solutions when warning signs appear. Our certified technicians identify the source of the problem, eliminate active infestations, and put preventive measures in place. Acting early protects your home, your health, and your peace of mind — because when it comes to pests, waiting only makes things worse.
