What we treat

We know which pests are moving in your neighborhood

Wherever you are in San Diego County, Talos tracks the pest pressure trending across the region and builds a defense around your property.

How Talos keeps you a step ahead

A method that stays ahead of the season

Most pest companies react to what's already in your home. Talos gets ahead of it with a five-step method built around your property and the San Diego season.

01

Inspect

We walk your home inside and out to find where pests enter, nest, and find food and water.

02

Forecast

We read the San Diego season and the activity trending in your neighborhood to anticipate what comes next.

03

Treat

Targeted, low-impact materials applied exactly where activity lives—safe for your family and pets.

04

Fortify

We seal entry points and correct the moisture, food, and access that invite pests back.

05

Sustain

Scheduled follow-ups keep you ahead—and if pests return, so do we, at no extra cost.

Stay Ahead, guaranteed*

If pests come back,
so do we.

Covered follow-ups are on us. Staying ahead is the whole point of partnering with Talos.

About Talos

Stay a step ahead of San Diego pests

Talos Pest Control is San Diego-owned and operated, built around one idea: staying ahead of pests before they get in. We tailor every treatment to the pests, climate, and architecture of our region, because every property has its own pest pressure, and a one-size-fits-all approach never works. Our licensed, background-checked technicians live in the neighborhoods they serve.

“I had an excellent experience with TALOS Pest Control Company from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, professional, and efficient. The employee’s starting with the technician, Fernando Romero along with setting up my account with Robert Whitehead, were truly exemplary. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel confident and well-informed. Fernando and Robert were not only thorough in their work but also very respectful of my home. They addressed all my concerns for the front and backyard and the property, they ensured that the treatment was done carefully and effectively. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality service really stood out. I’m extremely satisfied with both the service and the overall process. I would highly recommend TALOS Pest Control to anyone in need of reliable and professional pest control service. Five stars all the way! Thank you TALOS!”

“We’ve had a great experience working with Talos. They went above and beyond by coming out on a day they normally aren’t scheduled, which we really appreciated for one of our new residents. Jorge and Fernando arrived promptly, were extremely kind and professional, and completed all of the work that was needed efficiently. The resident was very happy with the service, and overall their team has been amazing to work with. Our leasing office truly enjoys partnering with them”
