Corky’s: Your Trusted Pest Control Experts Since 1967
At Corky’s, we’ve been offering effective pest control services to Southern California residents since 1967. By providing all of our personnel with in-depth training and staying up-to-date with the newest technology, we’re able to keep customers satisfied and meet their needs. If you notice signs of spiders, ants, bed bugs, or any other pests in your home, call us today to schedule our pest control services.
Residential Pest Control
We offer a suite of residential pest control services to homeowners. If you need to rid your property of unwanted pests, our team has the experience and skills necessary to provide a lasting solution. Each of our pest control services comes with a thorough inspection of the home and property.
Our goal is to discover how pests are getting into your home and where they might be nesting. The specific treatment we use depends on the type of pest as well as the severity of the infestation. The residential services available at Corky’s Pest Control include solutions for ants, bees, wasps, fleas, bed bugs, and gophers.
Ant Control
Whether ants are looking for a source of water or trying to find shelter from the weather, there are many reasons why they try to get into homes. Once they do, an infestation can quickly occur. A single colony can consist of more than 100,000 ants, which is why it’s crucial that you request treatment immediately after you detect signs of an infestation.
Our ant treatments include low-impact solutions that are applied to sidewalks, driveway edges, and foundation areas. We also make sure to spray any cracks or crevices around the perimeter of your property.
Spider Control
Getting rid of spiders in your home may seem like a fruitless task. The most effective way to keep arachnids out on a long-term basis is by requesting our spider treatment services. We apply treatments to window casings, door frames, and eaves. We’ll also place the solution on wooden fences and under patio furniture to reduce the likelihood that they get near your home in the first place.
When you request our services, we’ll make sure to brush webs away. Our treatments are low impact, which means that they cause the minimum level of risk to pets, wildlife, and people.
Bed Bug Removal
Even though bed bugs aren’t nocturnal, they’re most active at times when you’re not. If you don’t know what to look for, you may not even notice signs of an infestation. Identifying a bed bug presence is very difficult, the most common signs include small shell casings (shedding), tiny red bites on your skin, and bloody spots on your bed. Most often, an inspection by a professional is required to confirm the presence of bed bugs.
If a bed bug problem is discovered, they can be extremely difficult to eradicate. Here at Corly’s Pest Control, we offer several bed bug treatment options designed to effectively eliminate these pests and ensure peace of mind for our clients.
Bee & Wasp Removal
Bees and wasps are frightening pests that can create hives in or around your home. Our removal services include insect elimination, hive relocation, and bee-proofing, the latter of which is required to prevent future colonization. Beehive removal starts at $250. When providing these services, our goal is to keep the colony together. We’ll also make sure to keep you and your family safe while performing these services. Make sure you stay away from nests or hives until we arrive.
Flea Control
Fleas are small and dangerous pests that commonly attack cats and dogs. We understand how important it is to keep your pets clean and healthy, which is why our flea control service is comprehensive. It consists of two applications that are administered two weeks apart.
The initial treatment doesn’t control flea eggs. However, it will eliminate the larvae as well as emerging adult fleas. After 14 days, we’ll apply the second treatment, which coincides perfectly with the flea lifecycle. Our team will also schedule a follow-up inspection to make sure there are no residual signs of fleas.
Mosquito Treatment
While mosquitoes may appear to be somewhat harmless, they can carry deadly diseases, such as the Zika Virus, West Nile Virus, and Malaria. Our full-service mosquito treatments are applied to any location where we detect mosquitoes, which includes the lawn, bushes, and trees. While mosquito treatments are often performed once each month from May to October, you can request them whenever you believe they’re necessary, such as a special outdoor event.
Termite Tenting & Fumigation
Termites are invasive pests that can cause extensive structural damage if they get into your home, which is why we offer comprehensive termite control and fumigation services. When termites get into a home, they build tunnels to find food and protect themselves. They have sharp teeth that allow them to eat wood all day long. Because of how costly termite infestations can be, we use powerful treatments that keep these pests away for good. Our structural fumigation services involve a potent gas called sulfuryl fluoride, which will eliminate any termites in your home.
Rodent Control
The rat control service we offer at Corky’s is personalized to ensure your home’s needs are met. We begin by performing an in-depth inspection of your entire property. During this inspection, our team searches for signs of activity, entry points, water sources, and food. Depending on how extensive the problem is, we may need to visit your home multiple times and provide regular monitoring. Our rodent control services include pet-friendly options. Along with rats and mice, we’ll also search for hamsters, squirrels, and porcupines.
Gopher Removal
Our gopher removal services are tailored to each property to ensure the treatments are effective. These services also include repellent to keep gophers from returning. Corky’s treatment program focuses on areas where gophers may be damaging your landscaping. While the initial visit to your home allows us to exterminate gophers, additional follow-ups will be provided to control future invasions.
Wildlife Control
From raccoons and weasels to lizards and skunks, California hosts more wildlife than all other states. While California homeowners can co-exist with wildlife, you never know when one of these animals will get onto your property and refuse to leave.
For example, smaller wildlife can live in attics. If you have electrical wires in your attic, any animal that gets in there can chew the wires, which may lead to a fire. We specialize in wildlife control and removal. The team at Corky’s also provides waste cleanup and odor control services to ensure no signs of wildlife remain.

Does Corky's offer pest control services for both residential and commercial properties?
Yes! Corky’s provides complete pest control in San Diego for residential and commercial properties. While some exterminators might focus on one or the other, our team is trained in effective services that can help get things under control in virtually any situation.
Many companies don’t have the necessary licensure or training to handle commercial properties. But at Corky’s, we know how vital a pest-free environment is to a business, and we can help you get back to one through flexible scheduling and customized treatment plans. Whether you need routine maintenance or emergency pest control, Corky’s has the solution for your property.
How often should I schedule pest control services?
How often you schedule services will depend on many factors, including:
- The type of pests your property is dealing with
- How intense the infestation is
- Your property’s location
- The time of year
- Your past experiences with infestations
Most homeowners should schedule pest control services at least once every quarter to keep their chances of infestations low. If you’ve experienced previous pest issues or are located in an area where certain pests pose a significant problem, you may want to schedule appointments more frequently. You can always reach out to a Corky’s pest expert to see what they recommend for a personalized schedule.
Is there a difference between an exterminator and a pest control professional?
Although many use the terms interchangeably, it’s worth knowing that there is a difference between the two. Exterminators focus primarily on eliminating pests using chemical treatments. Though these can be effective, they are mostly reactive and don’t often include long-term prevention strategies.
A pest control professional from Corky’s will take a much more all-encompassing approach. They’ll focus on pest extermination services as well as prevention, inspection, and maintenance. Corky’s employs experts who are trained to identify the cause of an infestation and implement integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that involve far more than a band-aid solution.
What types of pest control services does Corky’s Pest Control offer?
You can expect a wide array of pest control services from Corky’s, including:
- General pest control
- Specialized treatments for problematic pests
- Commercial pest control services
- Preventive services, such as regular inspections and maintenance plans
We’re unique in that our pest extermination services are versatile; no matter your pest issue, we’ll devise a plan to rid you of the intruders, one that caters to your individual needs.
