- AntsAnt control is one of our most common calls. With warm weather year round, ants can become a constant nuisance for you and your home.
- SpidersSpider control  is extremely important here in San Diego, especially with the warm weather and desert-like conditions. Our homes can easily be overrun by poisonous Black and Brown Widows when you live without spider pest control. Brown Widows are actually far more dangerous than the often talked about Black Widows. They breed very quickly in and around our homes, laying multiple egg sacks that are small, tan, and covered in spikes. Brown Widows are overtaking other spider species, and it is very important to treat for them ( and other spiders ) as soon as you see one.
- TermitesTermites are small but terrible pests. They have been known to cause substantial property damage everywhere in the world. In the U.S., termites cause over 5 billion dollars in property damage annually. Because they are barely noticeable in size, termite infestation and damage in your home can go unnoticed until it is too late.
- Bed BugsBedbugs are among the most stubborn pests to exterminate. These unpleasant insects feast on human blood and attack when you’re most vulnerable and unaware: at night in your sleep. After a blood meal, bedbugs can retreat to their hiding spots for days, making it hard to spot an infestation.
- FleasAs a pet owner, the worse thing you can ever find is fleas in your home and on your dog or cat. Fleas survive on blood, so unfortunately they will torment your pets and family until flea control takes place. These pests quickly spread from yard to yard, so even with out a dog or cat you can still find yourself in need of flea removal. The process to kill fleas can be a long one. Fleas will lay eggs in your carpet that will lie dormant for extended periods of time. Usually, what will cause the eggs to hatch is heat or vibrations, so it’s a good idea to vacuum very thoroughly before we come to your home.
- CockroachesCockroach extermination  is a very long process that can become frustrating over time. Nobody wants to come home to cockroaches in the kitchen, and there a few things you can do to help prevent them. First of all, cockroaches eat everything in sight. It is very important with cockroach removal to clear your kitchen of any crumbs, grease drippings, and all opened food. Sweep under the fridge, below counters, and clean inside the oven. Something else to remember about cockroaches is they are Thigmotropic creatures, which means they like pressure on all sides of their bodies. What this means for you and your family is when one cockroach is spotted, more are probably hiding in tight spaces.
- SilverfishSilverfish are wingless insects that gained their name from their fishlike shape and shiny, scale-covered bodies. They are nocturnal and typically inhabit moist, humid areas, which is why homeowners often need silverfish control in the bathroom, basement, attic, and/or garage. They don’t bite or sting but they have quite an appetite. Their diet mainly consists of carbohydrates, including starches and dextrin, which can, unfortunately, be found in paper, photos, some paints, plaster, bookbinding, glue, carpet, and clothing—i.e. your home presents a great feast!
- BeesWasps create a dangerous situation when they set up camp near your home. The term “wasp†actually describes over 100,000 species of winged insects, but we’re most familiar with the species that resemble bees. Unlike bees, wasps will not die after using their stingers, so they can sting repeatedly. Wasp nest removal  is necessary to eliminate large colony infestations.
- WaspsOur preventative pest control approach includes maintaining a barrier around your home’s foundation to keep pests out, property-line protection from neighbor's bugs, window and eave treatments for wasps and spiders, and water-activated granules to control turf pests.

- CricketsCrickets are known for their rhythmic chirping, and like their grasshopper cousins, have powerful hind legs for jumping. Unlike grasshoppers, crickets are only active during the night. They are omnivorous insects and are known to eat their own dead when no other food sources are available. Crickets won’t harm humans, but they feed on plants and seeds outside, and clothing, drapes, and upholstery inside the home. They are especially attracted to fabrics containing organic materials, like cotton. For these reasons, homeowners often require cricket control  both inside and outside of the home.
- EarwigsEarwigs possess the infamous sharp forceps on their abdomens for defense and capturing prey. Contrary to popular belief, earwigs don’t actually crawl into people’s ears. Their main diet consists of small insects and decaying matter, not the insides of the human ear. However, earwigs can cause considerable damage to fruit and vegetable crops, which is why earwig control  is often needed in the garden.
- MosquitoesMosquitoes are seasonal pests that can cause trouble if left unmanaged. At a minimum, they can be a nuisance when you’re trying to enjoy your backyard with family and friends, but they can also cause itchy bug bites and transmit dangerous diseases.
- CentipedesCentipedes get their name from Latin, roughly translating to “hundred feet.†Despite the name, centipedes can actually have as few as 20 to over 300 legs. Centipedes possess venomous, pincer-like appendages that can pierce human skin. Unlike their harmless millipede cousin, a centipede’s venom can cause various symptoms, including severe pain, swelling, headache, nausea, and anxiety—making centipede control  imperative if you suspect an infestation.
- Millipedes
- BeetlesBeetles constitute nearly a quarter of all known organisms. About 40% of described insect species are beetles with millions of other species still left undiscovered. Although some beetles are environmentally beneficial, they don’t belong in your home or garden.
- ScorpionsScorpions are arachnids, so they possess eight legs along with a pair of grasping claws—but they are most recognized by their narrow, segmented tails, topped with a venomous stinger. Scorpions live in almost every climate and terrain, and their stings can be painful or life-threatening for children, pets, or those with allergies. You might encounter an outlier scorpion from time to time, but if you suspect a problem, scorpion pest control  is a necessity.
- AphidsSome garden pests seem to only exist to be a nuisance. One pest that gardeners, landscapers, and plant lovers alike all seem to despise are aphids: tiny, soft-bodied insects that pierce through leaf layers to extract the sap. These pesky... Read More
- SlugsSlugs are similar to snails, only they often don’t have a shell and produce much more mucus to keep their bodies protected.
- SnailsFirst, every effort must be made to decrease the environmental harborages where snails and slugs reside, including leafy foliage near the earth, loose stones or boards, weeds, etc. Since is impractical to remove all landscaping elements which contribute to a snail population, additional action can be taken with specialized baiting and/or trapping measures. Some snail and garden slug baits can be highly toxic, but Joshua’s Pest Control
- BatsThe only creatures that truly seem to enjoy mosquitoes are their natural predators: birds, bats, dragonflies, and frogs.
- Moles
- Birds
- RodentsLiving on Earth naturally means we share the environment with other creatures, so insects, rodents, and others are just a part of life. But that doesn’t mean you have to share your home, and when the sporadic pest becomes an infestation, it can cause a great deal of damage to your home, health, and well-being. This becomes even more important if you have allergies or children.
- MiceLeftover human and pet food can attract mice and rats into your home. Avoid their attack by keeping or discarding food properly and sealing possible entryways. Their ability to gnaw through wood with their sharp teeth can make the smallest possible opening an easy way through your home or cupboards. They can also be found eating crops from your garden. Monitor any activity in your produce garden to prevent them from doing more damage.
- RatsFinding mice or rats in your home is never fun. These rodents are very fast breeders and they will chew through wires and walls, destroying electronics and damaging your home. Rats can even fit through holes the size of a quarter, and a mouse can squeeze through holes the size of a dime! When it comes to mouse extermination, it’s good to remember that mice are very curious, and they will normally go to the traps much faster than rats. Rats, on the other hand, are far more cautious than mice. They avoid new objects and are very aware of any changes in their environment.
- SquirrelsGophers refer to several types of animals that like to burrow underground. These include gophers, moles, ground squirrels and species of prairie dogs. They are usually brown with soft, fine fur, tiny ears, small eyes, short tails and long, hard front teeth. They like to create complex underground tunnels and they eat roots, grass, shrubs, plants and trees. While they are not harmful to humans, gophers can cause damage to lawns, gardens and trees.
- GophersJoshua’s Pest Control can help you protect your garden and property from gophers with the most effective program suited to your environment.
