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 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

I just wanted to say thank you to your hardworking crew for always being so on top of it at our property. I've only had nothing but positive experiences with Pestec. In an industry that gets inundated with complaints, I hope this sheds some light on the great staff that you have working for you (which I'm sure you are already aware of). - Melody A.

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

Pestec treated my apartment for bedbugs a week ago and I haven't seen a live insect since then. Pestec's employees are environmentally conscious and use pesticides sparingly. They idenfitied the source of the infestation, treated the infested area with cedar oil, used a small dose of pesticide, and recommended taking practical steps like encasing my mattress. The only thing they could have done better is to tell me that it requires two people to encase a mattress. - Elaine T.

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.

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.

Terri K

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.

Patrick R

Pestec seems to have solved our rodent problem. They provided a quote and stood by it. We have a six month guarantee and I expect if we needed them back they would come with no questions asked. I shopped around for rodent abatement companies and Pestec was the most direct about pricing and what their scope of work would include. Thanks! - Patrick R.

Sam Z

We were getting mysterious bites in our home. Zach of Pestec identified the problem as rat mites, found where the rates were entering, sealed up the house and dusted the crawl space. He trapped all the rats and none have come into our house since. Sans rats, the rat mites died off and for the first time in six months we're not getting bitten. Zach knew just what to do, explained his plan clearly and consulted us every step of the way. We are greatly relieved and very grateful to Zach and Pestec. - Sam Z.

My lovely cat caught a mouse, killed it in the house and then left it on my bed for me. I was panicking thinking that if there's one, there's others, and my biggest fear was that one of them was going to gnaw on me while I slept. So I checked out the reviews for Pestec and so appreciate them sending Alfred out to take care of the problem. Alfred was very patient with my questions, made me realize that we could beat the mice (ended up being a rat which is even more icky) at their game, and he set out to get rid of them. He did the inspection and pointed out the different areas that needed to be plugged, patched, covered over, etc, and explained to me what I needed to do to keep rodents out. He did the follow up visits, always checking various areas to see if there was anything I missed. Alfred was absolutely awesome and Pestec, if you're reading this review, Alfred is an outstanding representative of your company. As I told him today on the final visit, I hope I never see him again, but if any other issues come up, I wouldn't hesitate to give Pestec a call. - Judy N.
