General Pest

General pest control across San Diego County

San Diego's mild winters mean pests never really go dormant. Ants march through kitchens in February the same way they do in August, and our coastal humidity gives spiders, roaches, and silverfish year-round cover. Our quarterly recurring program treats the perimeter, eaves, garage, and entry points so problems get stopped at the wall, not after they're already in your kitchen.

When do you need this service?

  • You see the same pests month after month no matter how much you clean
  • You want to prevent pests rather than react to an infestation

  • You have kids or pets and want trained applicators using EPA-registered products

What do homeowners ask about General Pest?

Are the products safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Once treated surfaces are dry (typically 30–60 minutes), areas are safe to re-enter. We use EPA-registered products at label rates and apply them to perimeters and harborage areas, not living surfaces. We'll always let you know which areas need extra dry time.

Do I need quarterly service or just a one-time treatment?

One-time treatments knock down what's currently active, but the residual breaks down within 60–90 days. Quarterly service maintains the protective barrier year-round, which matters in San Diego because pest pressure never fully drops off in our climate.

What if pests come back between scheduled visits?

We re-treat between visits at no charge. The whole point of a recurring program is that you don't pay extra when something pops up, call us and we'll get someone out within 1–2 business days.

Do you treat for termites and bed bugs as part of general service?

No, termites and bed bugs require dedicated treatment protocols and specialized equipment. We offer those as separate services. General pest control covers ants, spiders, roaches, silverfish, earwigs, crickets, millipedes, and similar.

Argentine ant trail came back stronger every time we sprayed. Pest Pros explained why, repellent sprays trigger budding, and used a non-repellent perimeter treatment instead. Trail was visibly thinner in three days, gone in a week. Quarterly service since and we don't see ants anymore.

Ant Control Encinitas

Buying a 1968 home and the lender required a WDO inspection in 5 days. Pest Pros came out the next morning, did a thorough crawlspace inspection, found localized drywood activity in one eave, and had the report in escrow by end of week. Section 1 cleared after local treatment, saved the closing.

Termite Inspection Chula Vista

Heard scratching in the attic for a month. Pest Pros found three roof-rat entry points around the eaves, all sealed with steel mesh and caulk, and set traps in the attic. Activity stopped within a week. They came back free at 14 days to confirm no new activity. No upsell.
