What can be treated

What did you find?

I found droppings in the pantryMeasure them before you clean. A quarter of an inch is a mouse, half an inch is a rat, and the two need different work.I woke up with bites in a lineBites appearing overnight in a row on exposed skin are worth checking the bed for. Bites alone never confirm what caused them.Roaches scatter when I turn on the kitchen lightSeeing roaches scatter when you turn on the light means the population is large enough to be pushed into the open. Which kind decides everything.Something has chewed through the food packagingChewed corners on boxes and bags mean an established route, not a visitor. Sealing the food does not close the way in.Something is biting my ankles indoorsBites around the ankles usually mean fleas, because fleas jump from floor level. Most of the population is in the carpet, not on the pet.Something is scratching above the ceiling at nightScratching overhead after dark in this area is usually roof rats. They arrive at the roofline, not the floor, which changes the whole search.The yard is full of mosquitoesThe mosquitoes biting in a San Diego yard breed in very small amounts of standing water, usually on the property itself.There are dark specks along the mattress seamSmall dark dots along a mattress seam, with pale shed skins nearby, are the usual first sign of bed bugs. Spraying them spreads the problem.There are mud tubes running up the foundationPencil-width mud tubes running up masonry are subterranean termites travelling from the soil to the wood. Breaking one tells you if it is active.There are silverfish in the bathroomSilverfish mean damp, not dirt. They are harmless but they point at a moisture problem that is usually worth finding.There are tiny hard pellets on the windowsillDry six-sided pellets below wood are drywood termite frass. They live inside the timber, which is why nothing shows on the foundation.There is a pile of small wings on the windowsillSmall identical wings shed in a pile mean a termite swarm, and a swarm means a colony old enough to reproduce.There is a trail of ants across the kitchenA line of small dark ants moving both ways means a nest nearby and something feeding it. What it is and what to do about it in Lemon Grove.There is a web and a dark spider in the garageMost garage spiders are harmless. The western black widow is the one worth checking for, and it sits under an irregular tangle in a sheltered corner.There was a cockroach in the bathroom in the middle of the dayA roach out in the open during the day usually means crowding or a route in from a drain. The two have completely different answers.

Not sure what it is? Describe it on the phone — what it looks like, where you found it, and how long it has been there.

Common questions

How soon can a technician come out?

It depends on provider participation, your location and demand that day. Call to check what is available in your ZIP code today.

What does it cost?

Pricing is set by the independent provider after seeing the problem, because the same pest can need one visit or several. The technician quotes the work before it starts.

Do I have to leave the house during treatment?

For most common pests, no. Some termite work does require it. The technician explains preparation and re-entry before the visit is booked.
