Professional pest control in San Diego

Professional Pest Control LLC is a licensed structural pest control operator working across San Diego County, from the coastal neighbourhoods out to the East County foothills and up through North County and the Temecula Valley. Ants coming in at the kitchen sink, something moving in the attic at night, a termite report escrow is waiting on - each one starts the same way, with an inspection that finds where the pressure is actually coming from.

What a property needs depends on how it is built and where it sits. A canyon-rim house in Clairemont has a rodent problem a slab tract home two streets inland does not; a 1920s bungalow with a vented crawl space and a new build on a pad are different termite jobs entirely. The 30 services below cover general pest work, termite inspection and treatment, rodent removal and exclusion, bed bugs, stinging insects, wildlife and ongoing maintenance. Not sure which one matches what you are seeing? Call (858) 306-0716 and a licensed member of the team will point you at the right one.

What we do

Residential Pest Control

Residential Pest Control services in San Diego protect homes from common pests like Argentine ants, roof rats, and drywood termites. Property owners typically need this service when they observe active infestations, signs of pest activity, or desire preventative maintenance against the year-round pest pressure in the San Diego region.

Commercial Pest Control

Commercial pest control in San Diego involves targeted strategies to eliminate and prevent pests such as termites, rodents, ants, and cockroaches in business properties. Property owners need this service when they notice infestations or want to prevent potential damage and health hazards.

Termite Inspection

Termite inspections are comprehensive evaluations of a property to identify the presence of termites, assess damage, and determine conducive conditions for infestation. This service is crucial for homeowners in San Diego due to the year-round pest pressure and is often a mandatory requirement during real estate transactions, known as an escrow report or Wood Destroying Pests and Organisms (WDO) inspection.

Drywood Termite Treatment

Drywood Termite Treatment addresses infestations of drywood termites, which nest within the wooden structures of a property without requiring soil contact. Property owners in San Diego typically need this service when they observe termite droppings (frass), discarded wings, or damaged wood, especially in older homes or coastal properties.

Subterranean Termite Treatment

Subterranean Termite Treatment in San Diego addresses infestations of termites that live in the soil and build mud tubes to access wooden structures. Property owners need this service when they observe mud tubes on foundations, damaged wood that sounds hollow, or swarming termites, particularly in the hotter inland valleys from Escondido out to Temecula and Hemet where these termites dominate.

Termite Fumigation

Termite Fumigation in San Diego is a comprehensive treatment method used to eliminate drywood termites from entire structures, especially when infestations are widespread or have caused significant damage. Property owners typically need this service when inspections reveal active infestations or extensive damage from termites that cannot be effectively treated with localized methods.

Orange Oil Termite Treatment

Orange Oil Termite Treatment is a localized solution for drywood termite infestations, utilizing d-limonene (derived from orange peels) to kill termites on contact. Property owners in coastal San Diego neighborhoods like La Jolla or inland areas such as Poway often opt for this method when infestations are contained and accessible, offering an alternative to whole-structure fumigation. It's particularly suitable for homes with specific, identified termite activity rather than widespread issues.

Escrow Termite Report

The Escrow Termite Report, also known as a Wood Destroying Pests and Organisms Inspection Report, is a critical document required during real estate transactions in San Diego. It identifies active infestations and conditions conducive to wood-destroying organisms, providing essential information for buyers and sellers to negotiate repairs and ensure the property's structural integrity before closing.

Termite Damage Repair

Termite damage repair addresses the structural and aesthetic issues caused by termite infestations, which are prevalent year-round in San Diego due to the mild climate. Property owners need this service when they discover evidence of termite activity, such as damaged wood, discarded wings, or mud tubes, or after a professional termite inspection (often for real estate transactions) identifies active infestations or significant wood damage.

Ant Control

Our Ant Control service in San Diego effectively eliminates ant infestations, particularly the ubiquitous Argentine ants that plague homes from La Jolla to El Cajon. Property owners typically need this service when they observe ant trails indoors, especially during dry Santa Ana conditions or after the first significant rains, as ants seek water and shelter within structures.

Argentine Ant Treatment

Argentine Ant Treatment targets the pervasive Argentine ant supercolony common throughout San Diego and coastal California, which frequently invades homes and businesses seeking water, especially during dry Santa Ana winds or after initial rains. This service is essential when property owners observe ant trails indoors, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms, or along foundations, indicating an established colony has moved into or near the structure.

Rodent control service in San Diego is essential for property owners experiencing signs of rodent activity like droppings, gnaw marks, or strange noises in walls or attics. This service identifies and eliminates rodent infestations, primarily roof rats and house mice, which are prevalent year-round due to San Diego's mild climate, and prevents future incursions. It's crucial when rodents pose health risks, cause property damage, or create an unsanitary environment.

Roof Rat Removal

Roof rat removal service targets the common roof rat (Rattus rattus) infestations prevalent in San Diego homes and businesses, especially those near canyons or with mature landscaping. Property owners need this service when they hear scratching in attics or walls, find droppings, or see rats traveling along fences, utility lines, or in dense vegetation like bougainvillea.

Rodent exclusion and proofing in San Diego is a specialized service designed to seal entry points in your home or business, preventing rats and mice from gaining access. Property owners in areas like Point Loma, Clairemont, or East County, especially those near canyons or open spaces, need this service when they're experiencing recurring rodent issues or want to proactively protect their property from the year-round pest pressure in our Mediterranean climate.

Attic Cleanup and Sanitation

Attic Cleanup and Sanitation is a specialized service designed to remove pest-related debris, contaminated insulation, and restore attic spaces to a healthy condition. Property owners in San Diego typically need this service after a pest infestation, such as roof rats or raccoons, has been successfully eradicated, leaving behind droppings, urine, nesting materials, and damaged insulation. This service is crucial for homes, especially those in canyon-rim neighborhoods like Clairemont or Point Loma, where wildlife pressure is high.

Bed Bug Treatment

Bed bug treatment is a specialized pest control service designed to eliminate infestations of Cimex lectularius, commonly known as bed bugs, from residential and commercial properties. Property owners in San Diego typically need this service when they notice bites, blood spots on bedding, or see the insects themselves, indicating an active infestation that requires professional intervention.

Bed Bug Heat Treatment

This service is crucial when a property owner discovers active bed bug activity, particularly in sensitive environments where chemical treatments might be undesirable or impractical, such as residential properties in North Park or multi-family housing in City Heights.

Spider Control

Spider Control in San Diego is a specialized pest management service designed to eliminate and prevent spider infestations in residential and commercial properties. Property owners typically need this service when they observe an increasing number of spiders indoors, especially venomous varieties like black widows, or notice extensive webbing around their home's exterior, garage, or garden areas.

Black Widow Treatment

Our Black Widow Treatment service specifically targets and eliminates Latrodectus hesperus populations, commonly found in garages, block walls, and irrigation boxes across San Diego and surrounding areas.
