Pest Control in Pacific Beach

Doug’s Bug Company focuses on identifying what’s causing the issue, where pests are getting in, and what conditions are attracting them so the problem doesn’t just come right back.

Ants usually show up looking for food and water, especially around kitchens, patios, and trash areas. Some species can be persistent, so the best results come from treating both the activity and the source.

Roaches are more common in multi-unit buildings and anywhere with shared walls or plumbing. They thrive with moisture and easy access to food, so a solid plan often includes prevention steps along with treatment.

Fleas and ticks are more common in homes with pets or shared outdoor areas. Treatment typically focuses on stopping the current issue and setting up prevention so they don’t cycle back in.

Rats and mice can squeeze in through small gaps around doors, vents, garages, and utility lines. Droppings, scratching sounds at night, gnaw marks, and activity near trash or storage are typical signs.

Spiders are common around garages, storage areas, patios, and exterior lights. Even when they’re not the main problem, they often point to another issue nearby (a steady supply of insects).

Nests often pop up around eaves, fences, sheds, and patio covers. It’s usually easiest to address stinging insects early, before the nest grows and activity ramps up.

Termites are a common concern across San Diego, including Pacific Beach. They can be active in hidden areas like framing, crawl spaces, fences, and other wood structures, especially where moisture is present. Signs can include mud tubes, discarded wings near windows, or wood that sounds hollow.
