San Francisco Pest Control Providers

For more than 30 years, Pestec has provided pest control services to commercial and government customers in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our service area includes the City and County of San Francisco, San Mateo County, Contra Costa County, Alameda County, and Santa Clara County.

We offer various pest management services, including the control of rats, mice, ants, cockroaches, and yellow jackets. We also provide pest prevention consultations for new construction projects, Integrated Pest Management assessments, and training for facilities to manage pests proactively.

Unlike traditional pest control and exterminator companies, Pestec focuses on pest prevention and pest management over the long term, avoiding quick-fix solutions to pest infestations that do not provide lasting results. Traditional pest control relies heavily on pesticides, but we use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach.

IPM is a comprehensive, environmentally sensitive approach to managing pests. This science-based, common-sense approach for reducing populations of disease vectors and public health pests uses pest management techniques that focus on pest prevention, pest reduction, and the elimination of conditions that lead to pest infestations.

We have successfully accumulated a collection of least-toxic practices to control pests. And by doing this, we have reduced our pesticide use to a minimum.

Implementing an IPM plan and program of prevention and monitoring can decrease costs for our clients over the long run.

Pestec is also the only company in the country that certifies its entire operations through EcoWise Certified and Green Shield Certified. We are an ever-evolving company that uses industry-leading techniques to better the places and communities we live and work.

I can't thank Colin enough for his incredible support. We brought samples down to see if they could identify the bugs we had under a microscope. So many of the pest control companies will tell you what you want to hear just get your money. Colin was up front and wouldn't take a dime for the research and consultation. - Jesper

Really appreciated the followup which seems to have solved the issue in my yard. Both the Pestec staff via e mail and the team that came again to address the issue were very professional. Thank you very much for your service! - Hans G.

I can't recommend Pestec highly enough. We had a biting insect problem. We were getting bitten daily by something we couldn't see - stressful and frustrating. Pestec and a number of other companies I enquired with thought the cause could be rat mites. Pestec sent their rat and insect specialists and after finding rat evidence and leaving insect monitors were able to confirm that rat mites were the source of the bites. Whilst another company would have been happy to sign us up to a year's contract of chemical spraying Pestec were adamant that we needed to remove the source of the mites, i.e. the rats. They located holes in our basement walls and signs of rats around the property. Getting rid of rat mites is not an easy fix and took time, but what Pestec recommended was absolutely the way to go. They carried out rat trapping, located a nest in the crawl spaces of the basement and dusted pesticide in key points (which is safer than spraying particularly as we have a newborn) to kill rat mites whilst the rats were being caught. We then had the basement holes where rats can get in closed up. All of the staff at Pestec were so helpful. Jessica in the office always took the time to answer my many questions when I was trying to figure out what the hell was happening. Luis, Pestec's CEO, also visited. He is a real expert and genuinely cares about helping people solve pest problems. - Kimberly

Excellent customer service. I contacted Pestec because I thought we had bed bugs. Colin, the office manager was professional, knowledgeable, and patient. I was panicked that we might have bed bugs. Colin thoroughly answered my questions over the phone and my long list of questions over email. The information he provided was very helpful and I can use it to prevent bed bugs from entering into our home. Valentin inspected our home with his K-9. He arrived on-time and explained how the inspection process would work. After the K-9 inspection, he thoroughly checked bed frame(flipped bed frames), mattress, sheets, wall hangings, sofa, all the places that the K-9 suspected of bed bugs. The inspection took about 1 hr. Thankfully, we do not have bed bugs. Valentin was knowledgeable as well and gave me suggestions of what could be biting us since it's not bed bugs. If I have pest in the future, I will definitely contact them again. - Traveler Y.

We want you to know how much we appreciate the excellent service provided by Matt and Alfred. Living close to a hill, rodents are common pest problem for us. Matt has serviced our place a few times. His friendly-professional attitude, attention to detail, responses to our many question, and ready smile made the experience even better than expected. We won't hesitate to refer future clients to you, and you can be assured that I have you on speed dial. Your happy customer. - Bondons.

I called Pestec for a gopher problem in my front lawn that was getting out of control quickly! I called and spoke with Mikail who gave me answers to all my questions. I made an appointment and got a follow up email confirmation immediately. A very nice and knowledgeable guy named Ricky showed up exactly on time and set seven traps. An appointment was made (during my initial call) for the follow up appointment and he again showed up exactly at 8am. He had captured two gophers in the front lawn. Both visits he took time to give me all sorts of information about the procedure, results and follow up. The main office, Samantha to be specific, sent me a follow up report within 30-45 minutes!

Everyone at this company is really professional and efficient and the process was painless (although not for the gophers!). Thanks, Pestec!! - Terri K.

Illya

Great service!Diligent and knowledgable and thorough. Pedro Castro was my exterminator. Great guy. We had rats years ago. He eradicated them. Then recently had a small mouse and he was very helpful as well. Both times did proofing on the house. Thank you!! - Illya

We've had two horrible pest experiences. The first time, we called Orkin, and they basically did nothing, plus the service was expensive and totally impersonal. The second time we called Pestec, and they were amazing. We had a perplexing situation that took a couple of visits to figure out and by the third time the CEO Luis showed up and was determined to find the problem. He ultimately visited us three times and the team (Valentine was also great) worked very hard -- including moving a 25 foot ladder around the entire perimeter of the roof to find and close all holes and busting out a wall to investigate behind it. They were sympathetic and responsive to my concerns and the source was finally discovered and problem eliminated. If you have a pest issue in the Bay Area, this is definitely who you should call. - Elena S.

Pestec is doing a great job responding to ur problem with roof rats in one of the units on our multi-unit property. Eddie has been totally professional, prompt, and through. He brought Matt along to a visit to ensure that he was not missing any places where the rats might get in and together they got the crawl space and attic all sealed up. In addition, my interactions with Miriam in the office have been terrific. She is friendly, responsive and makes sure that everything keeps moving along smoothly. We have used Pestec in the past, always with good results, and this experience is also excellent. Thanks! - Kim S.

Ashley D.

I was getting bitten pretty much every night and suspected that it was bed bugs. After a few sleepless nights, I called out one company to do a hand/manual inspection, and they said it was just carpet beetles. I wanted a second opinion so after a few more sleepless nights, I called Pestec to do a canine inspection. From Day 1, the customer service was ON POINT. After that, each visit and interaction from Pestec was professional and courteous. Best of all, here we are 3 months later with no bed bugs! - Ashley D.
