Imperial Beach’s ocean air, mild weather, and beautiful coastal environment make it a great place to live—but they can also create steady pest pressure year-round. If you’re seeing ants in the kitchen, spiders around exterior lights, or roaches and rodents looking for shelter and food, Harbor Pest Control is here to help.
Harbor Pest Control is family-owned, locally operated, and has served San Diego County for over 75 years. We make pest control straightforward: start with a careful inspection, build a plan around your property’s needs, and keep pests from coming back with consistent follow-up service.
If you’re ready for ongoing protection, contact our local pest control team to schedule your inspection!
Most pest problems don’t start as “big infestations.” They begin with a few ants following a trail, an occasional roach sighting, or spiders rebuilding webs every few days. Our home pest control plans are designed to stop those problems early and maintain a protective barrier around your home.
With a Harbor home pest control plan, you can expect:
Imperial Beach homes vary—condos near Seacoast Drive, single-family neighborhoods farther inland, and properties near open space can all attract different pests. We tailor your plan, so you’re not paying for a one-size-fits-all approach.
Coastal living changes the pest mix. Mild temperatures can extend activity seasons, and outdoor moisture sources (sprinklers, landscaping, coastal fog) can support a steady supply of insects—plus the pests that feed on them.
Here are some of the most common issues we help Imperial Beach homeowners prevent and resolve:
One of the most frequent “why won’t they go away?” pests in San Diego County, ants are nuisance pests that often infest kitchens, bathrooms, and other parts of homes and businesses.
Spiders are often a sign of insect activity around a home. If you’re seeing webs at entryways and eaves, we focus on reducing the food source and treating key exterior zones. If you’re concerned about black widow spiders, they’re commonly found in undisturbed areas like garages, woodpiles, cluttered storage, and exterior crevices where insects are present.
Roaches can travel through plumbing penetrations, wall voids, and shared structures. We focus on sanitation recommendations plus targeted treatment to disrupt harborage areas.
Mice and rats are smart, persistent, and damaging. If you’ve heard scratching, seen droppings, or noticed gnawing, you’ll want a plan that includes inspection, exclusion-focused recommendations, and ongoing monitoring.
With California’s extended warm season, wasps and other stinging insects frequently nest around eaves and patio covers. For professional removal and prevention, see our bee and wasp control options.

While most homeowners start with a general pest plan, many Imperial Beach properties also need specialized services over time. Harbor Pest Control offers a full range of solutions—so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors.
Termites are a major concern across San Diego County. If you’re seeing mud tubes, blistered paint, or damaged wood, don’t wait.
Our termite control services start with a thorough inspection, and then we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your structure and the type of termite present.
Some pest situations call for fumigation—especially when pests are widespread inside a structure or when drywood termites require full-structure treatment.
Learn about options and when they’re appropriate on our fumigation page.
If you suspect bed bugs (bites, spotting on bedding, or live bugs), quick confirmation and professional treatment matter.
