Bed bug treatment in San Diego
Bed bugs are not a sanitation problem — they hitchhike home from hotels, used furniture, and shared transport, and they happen to clean and dirty homes alike. They're also the hardest pest to eliminate in residential pest control because they hide in cracks the width of a credit card and survive months between meals. We use heat treatment for whole-room elimination and targeted chemical protocols for follow-up — DIY sprays scatter them and almost guarantee re-infestation.

Homeowners who hired us for this
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.
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.
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.
