What Our Customers Say
Here’s what our customer have to say about our services.
Common household pest control in Pasadena covers the steady mix of ants, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, ticks, and a long list of smaller pests that turn up in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and around entry points.
Pasadena’s mild climate keeps most of them active for much of the year. We handle the whole category, with each pest treated on its own terms rather than with a one-size approach.
Older Pasadena homes near the foothills tend to face different pressure than newer homes in flatter neighborhoods, so the plan we recommend depends on the property in front of us.
Pasadena Pest Control uses the latest pest control technology and methods, with treatments that are safe around children and pets and pricing that’s written out before any work begins.
Ant Control in Pasadena
Ants are the most common call we get year-round. Argentine ants are the dominant species in the San Gabriel Valley, and they form long trails through kitchens, bathrooms, and along plumbing lines whenever conditions are right. Carpenter ants tunnel into wood, and odorous house ants give off a noticeable smell when crushed.
Pressure picks up in late spring, especially after a wet winter, and again in mid-summer when colonies expand. Our ant control locates the nest, treats the colony rather than just the trail you can see, and follows up with a perimeter treatment to slow the next wave. Sealing cracks, cleaning up food residue, and addressing moisture issues in kitchens and bathrooms helps reduce future activity.
Cockroach Control in Pasadena
Cockroaches feed at night and hide during the day, which is why most homeowners only notice them once a population is already established. They can spread bacteria and contribute to allergy and asthma symptoms, so addressing them early matters.
Our cockroach control uses EPA-approved baits and targeted barriers in the harborage areas where roaches actually live — behind appliances, around plumbing, in cabinet voids and bathrooms — with follow-up visits to monitor and refine as activity drops. Older Pasadena homes with original cabinetry and gaps in construction give roaches plenty of places to harbor, and we look closely at those during inspection.
Spider Control in Pasadena
Spiders show up in corners, eaves, baseboards, garages, and attics. Most species in Pasadena aren’t dangerous, but webs accumulate quickly and populations grow when their food source — other insects — is plentiful.
Our spider control treats harborage areas, knocks down webs, and addresses the underlying insect activity drawing spiders in. Perimeter sealing and routine web removal during outdoor maintenance reduce future populations meaningfully.
Flea Control in Pasadena
Fleas usually arrive on pets or wildlife — raccoons and opossums are common carriers in this area. They have four life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae, adults), and most over-the-counter products only kill the adults, which is why DIY flea treatment so often falls short.
Our flea control targets every life stage with treatments spaced about two weeks apart, monitoring and adjusting as activity drops. Keeping pets on prescribed preventatives, vacuuming frequently, and washing bedding in hot water shortens the cycle. If activity shows up between visits, our Pest-Free Guarantee covers the return visit.
Tick Control in Pasadena
Ticks can carry Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, and other illnesses, and they attach without causing immediate pain, so they’re easy to miss. Pasadena’s foothill homes, especially properties that back onto canyon space or trails, see the most pressure.
Our tick control treats yards along the perimeter and through brushy harborage areas — tall grass, woodpiles, dense vegetation. EPA-approved products are applied at label rates, and follow-up visits monitor activity. Mowing regularly, trimming vegetation back from walkways, and clearing brush piles reduce tick habitat over time.
Silverfish Control in Pasadena
Fleas usually arrive on pets or wildlife — raccoons and opossums are common carriers in this area. They have four life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae, adults), and most over-the-counter products only kill the adults, which is why DIY flea treatment so often falls short.

Earwig Control in Pasadena
Earwigs hide under bark, rocks, and mulch outdoors and move inside during warm, dry stretches. The pincers look intimidating, but they don’t typically harm people.
Earwig treatment works on the perimeter before they invade, and one or two applications usually clear the issue. Spring and fall are peak invasion periods.
Cricket Control in Pasadena
Crickets nest in basements, garages, and woodpiles, and the noise alone is reason most people call. Our cricket control targets harborage spots and entry points. Sealing gaps, reducing outdoor lighting that spills onto entry points, and addressing damp basement conditions help prevent recurrence.
Fly Control in Pasadena
Different fly species need different treatments. Fruit flies cluster around overripe produce and spilled drinks. Drain flies breed in the slime layer inside drain pipes. House flies and gnats often come from outdoor sources like garbage, compost, or pet waste.
Our fly control traces the breeding source, treats it directly, and reduces adult populations on a timeline that fits the species. Storing produce in sealed containers, cleaning drains regularly, and removing exposed food or moisture sources help with long-term control.
Mite Control in Pasadena
Mites are too small to see clearly but cause noticeable bites, itching, and allergy symptoms. Dust mites can trigger asthma, and chiggers picked up from yard grass can leave welts.
Our mite control works in the home, the yard, and bedding. Washing bedding in hot water and using air purifiers reduces dust mite exposure indoors.
Centipede & Millipede Control in Pasadena
Centipedes hunt other insects, and millipedes feed on decaying matter. Both prefer moisture and tend to show up around basements, mulch beds, and the foundation. Neither poses a real bite risk for most people, but they’re unsettling to encounter.
Centipede and millipede control reduces moisture, eliminates harborage, and targets the smaller insects they feed on. Adjusting drainage around the foundation and reducing mulch depth limit their habitat.
Scorpion Control in Pasadena
Scorpions are uncommon in Pasadena, but they do show up in foothill neighborhoods that back onto dry hillsides. The local species rarely cause serious reactions in healthy adults, though a sting still hurts, and they have a habit of hiding in shoes, woodpiles, and dark gaps in the garage.
Standard insecticides aren’t reliably effective on scorpions, so our scorpion control uses products specifically labeled for them. Sealing cracks, removing wood piles, and installing door sweeps help prevent entry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Household Pest Control in Pasadena
It depends on the situation. A one-time issue typically takes one or two visits to resolve. Recurring or seasonal pressure usually does better on the Home Protection Plan with monthly or bimonthly visits. We assess the property and recommend what fits, with no required annual contract.
Yes. We use EPA-approved products applied by trained technicians following manufacturer protocols. Most treatments allow normal activity within a few hours, and we’ll walk you through any specific timing before we start.
No. For interior work, we typically ask you to stay out of treated rooms for a couple of hours with windows open for airflow. For exterior work, you can stay inside as normal. We give you full instructions before each appointment.
Keep food stored, clean spills promptly, don’t leave pet food out overnight, and seal visible cracks and gaps. If activity shows up between scheduled visits, call us and we’ll come back at no charge under the Pest-Free Guarantee.
Usually both. Most start outside and find entry points through doors, windows, foundation cracks, or utility penetrations. We treat the perimeter to slow new activity and target the interior to clear what’s already inside.
Yes. Mixed activity — ants and cockroaches, spiders and flies — is common, and we handle them in a single treatment plan when it makes sense.
