What to expect
Inspect first, treat where it's needed, and write down everything we did.
Call, text, or use the form at the top of the page.
We find what the pest is, where it's coming from, and what's inviting it: ivy on the wall, mulch against the stucco, a leaky sprinkler, a gap under a door. You'll get photos of what we found.
Every plan visit includes the exterior perimeter treatment and web removal. Inside and around the yard, we treat where we find activity, with baits where baits work. Driveways get spot treatment only, nothing goes toward storm drains, and we don't treat outdoors in the rain.
After each visit you get a service record: what we found, what we applied and where, and what to watch for.
See a sample recordOn a plan, if pests come back between scheduled visits, we come back once at no charge. One-time services and specialty treatments include a 30-day return visit. That’s a promise to come back and re-treat. No honest company can promise results; we promise follow-through.

Serving North County San Diego.
Somewhere nearby that isn't listed? Ask. Trips outside the core area may carry a small travel charge, which we'll tell you before anything is booked.
While we're there
Products past their date don't work like you think they do; they just sit there as a hazard. At your initial service we'll go through what you have, bag and label anything expired, and tell you where your city's free household hazardous waste drop-off is. No extra cost.
Straight answers
Straight answer: these are pesticides, made to kill pests, and we won't pretend otherwise. Here's what we do. Before we treat, you get the state's pesticide notice listing the products we'll use. We apply each one exactly as its label directs, and only where the label allows. If we treat inside, you and your pets stay off treated areas until they're dry, and we'll tell you how long before we start. Where bait works, we put bait in cracks, crevices and stations instead of a liquid treatment. After every visit, your service record lists what we applied, how much, and where.
No long-term contract. You can stop your plan anytime, and we give you 30 days' notice before any price change.

No, you do not need to be home for us to complete our service. In fact, if you are having an interior of a home or unit treated, we will ask that you and your pets stay out until the treatment has dried, as the product label requires. Drying time depends on the product and the room, and we'll tell you before we start how long to plan for.
A full exterior perimeter treatment, web removal at eaves and entry points, a check of any bait stations, and a look for new activity. Interior treatment is included whenever there's something going on inside.
Depends on the issue and method of treatment, but generally speaking most results become noticeable within about a week's time. We're very communicative during our treatments, and often we can give you a more accurate estimate in the moment!
Pest Control is easily the hardest service to see the value of over time. Once we solve the problem and the coming months after it's easy to take our service for granted. This however is the exact mental fallacy that allows whatever problem it is that you called us about to come back easily. Think of our service as Pest Emergency Insurance, especially when the weather is naturally kinder for keeping problems at bay. With us on routine to your home, we promise that any emergency is taken care of personally and that no issue goes unanswered.
Light rain doesn't affect a dried treatment. If rain is forecast right after a visit, we'll reschedule so the product has time to set. We also have other options, like baits, for wet weather.
Call or text (760) 613-9427, or send a request and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
