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.

Seasonal tips to stay ahead
Practical, San Diego-specific guides from our team—so you know what's moving, when, and what to do about it.
Fleas & TicksCommon Tick Habitats Around Your Property (and How to Make Them Unfriendly)
Ticks are often associated with hiking trails and deep woods, but a large percentage of tick encounters actually happen in residential yards during everyday activities like gardening, mowing, or letting pets outside.
TermitesDo I Have Active Termites or Old Damage? How San Diego Homeowners Can Tell the Difference
Finding termite damage in your home is unsettling. One of the most common questions San Diego homeowners ask is: is this an active termite infestation, or just old damage from the past? The difference matters.
AntsDo I Have One Ant Problem or Multiple Colonies? How San Diego Homes Get Reinfested
If ants keep coming back no matter how many times you clean, spray, or set traps, you are not imagining it. Many homeowners in San Diego are not dealing with one ant problem — they are dealing with multiple colonies exploiting the same property.
Fleas & TicksHow to Tell If Your Home or Yard Has Fleas or Ticks (Early Signs Every Owner Should Know)
Fleas and ticks may be small, but the problems they cause can escalate quickly, especially for households with pets. Thanks to San Diego’s warm, predictable weather, these pests do not follow a strict season, and many infestations start quietly.
FliesTop 7 Common Types of Flies Found in San Diego Homes (and How to Identify Them)
Flies are more than just an annoyance. They can contaminate food, spread bacteria, and signal underlying issues in or around your home. Thanks to San Diego’s warm climate, flies can be active year-round.
BeesBee Activity in San Diego: How to Handle Bees Safely and Responsibly
Spring in San Diego brings warmer weather, blooming plants — and increased bee activity around homes and buildings. Knowing how to respond when bees appear, when removal is necessary, and why safe bee removal matters can protect your household and these essential pollinators.
