What's different about Buena Park

Common pests in Buena Park

Termites

Drywood termites live inside the wood and are rarely seen until they swarm. Subterranean termites, the most destructive kind in California, nest in the soil and build mud tubes to reach wood. Small piles of six-sided pellets point to drywood.Related: Termite inspection in Buena Park · Termite signs guide · Termite fumigation and local treatment guideSources: UC IPM, Drywood Termites, UC IPM, Subterranean and Other Termites

West Nile mosquitoes

OC Vector's advice after this summer's finds: dump and drain anything holding water at least once a week, scrub bird baths and pet bowls, repair screens, and wear repellent with DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus.Sources: OCMVCD, West Nile Virus Detected in Mosquitoes from Eight Orange County Cities (Jul 1, 2026, PDF)

Bed bugs in apartments

UC IPM lists furnished apartments among the places most at risk, and calls second-hand mattresses and furniture high-risk sources. It also says consumer foggers don't work on bed bugs and can be harmful. In a rental, California law bars a landlord from renting out a vacant unit the landlord knows has a current infestation.Sources: UC IPM, Bed Bugs, California Civil Code §1954.602

Rats and bird feeders

The city's coyote page warns that bird feeders attract rodents. OC Vector adds that roof rats favor birdseed, pet food and backyard fruit and use fences and utility lines as runways.Related: Rodent control guideSources: City of Buena Park, Coyote Management, OCMVCD, Rats

Cockroaches outdoors

The Turkestan cockroach is a newer invasive species that UC IPM says usually lives outdoors: in water meter boxes, cracks in poured concrete, compost, leaf litter, potted plants and sewers. Fixing leaks and sealing food cuts what all roaches need.Sources: UC IPM, Cockroaches

Coyotes

Feed pets indoors, pick up fallen fruit and standing water, and enclose the bottoms of porches and decks. These are the city's own prevention steps.Sources: City of Buena Park, Coyote Management

Typical service types to ask about

What this directory covers and what it does not

SoCal Pest Finder is an independent directory. Company profiles include source links and dated public-license information. A listing is not an endorsement, inspection, ranking, or availability statement. County service statements are separate from city service-area evidence.

The pest notes on this page come from public sources such as UC IPM, the county vector control district and the city, and each one links to where it came from. They can't tell you what is going on at your address, and we don't quote prices or rate companies. For that, have a licensed company inspect.

I rent an apartment in Buena Park and think I have bed bugs. What are my landlord's duties?

California requires landlords to give tenants a written bed bug notice that explains how to report a suspected infestation, so report it in writing that way. A landlord also may not show or rent a vacant unit it knows is infested. UC IPM advises against foggers, which don't control bed bugs.

How do I get rid of a mattress or couch with bugs in Buena Park?

If you're a residential refuse customer, call EDCO at (714) 522-3577 at least two days before your trash day to book free bulky-item pickup, up to six items. UC IPM says second-hand mattresses and furniture are high-risk bed bug sources, so don't pass infested pieces on.
