Common pests in San Diego, CA
San Diego’s mild Mediterranean climate, coastal humidity, varied microclimates, and abundant landscaping create year‑round favorable conditions for pest activity. Outdoor living, irrigated yards, older coastal homes, and the urban‑wildland interface near canyons and beaches like La Jolla and Mission Bay make encounters with termites, ants, roaches, spiders, and rodents more likely.
Because climate and lifestyle combine to keep pressure on homes and businesses, proactive protection and timely maintenance matter for long‑term peace of mind. For residents and businesses across the region — from the Gaslamp Quarter to inland neighborhoods — Lloyd Pest Control is the local solution for reliable, professional pest protection.
Termite Control
Termites are a persistent concern in San Diego because drywood, dampwood, and subterranean species find the region’s warm, coastal climate and abundant wooden structures favorable for activity. With over 90 years of experience, Lloyd Pest Control helps identify risk areas and provides long-term prevention and protection for homes and commercial properties.
Ant Control
Ants, including common house ants, fire ants, and Argentine ants, are widespread in San Diego due to year‑round warmth and plentiful outdoor landscaping that attracts foraging colonies. The team at Lloyd Pest Control manages active ant problems and works to reduce conditions that invite repeat activity around kitchens, yards, and structures.
Roach Control
Roaches are frequently encountered in San Diego homes and businesses because warm temperatures and available food sources support their activity and reproduction. Lloyd Pest Control assists property owners in controlling roach activity and maintaining cleaner, more sanitary indoor environments.
Spider Control
Spiders such as black widows, cellar spiders, and wolf spiders are common across San Diego’s varied habitats, where sheltered corners, storage areas, and mild winters allow populations to persist. Lloyd Pest Control helps lower spider activity and protect families by addressing the conditions that encourage spider presence.
Rat Control
Rodents like roof rats and house mice thrive in San Diego where food sources, dense vegetation, and cluttered storage provide shelter and nesting opportunities. Lloyd Pest Control works with homeowners and property managers to manage rodent activity and strengthen property defenses against future problems.

Keeping San Diego Neighborhoods Pest Free
San Diego experiences a mild Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cooler, wetter winters that support continuous pest activity rather than a true dormant season. Coastal influence and local microclimates create variations in humidity and temperature across the region, while proximity to the ocean, extensive landscaping, native chaparral, and palm trees provide food and shelter for many species. Urban density, older housing stock, and a mix of residential and commercial structures create abundant harborages and travel corridors for ants, rodents, cockroaches, termites, and mosquitoes, and seasonal rainfall often prompts increased movement as pests seek dry shelter and new food sources.
Both homes and businesses face year-round pest pressures that shift with seasonal conditions and site features, so needs differ by property type and location. Residential concerns often center on yard irrigation, mulch, foundation moisture, and access points around older construction, while commercial properties such as restaurants, multifamily housing, and warehouses require tight sanitation, structural inspections, and preventive monitoring. Seasonal wet periods typically increase moisture-driven issues and termite risk, while dry months and higher daytime temperatures can drive foraging behavior by ants and other pests, making integrated, site-specific prevention and timely response important for maintaining long term control.
La Jolla (92037): Coastal cliffs, landscaped yards, and older seaside cottages often bring rodent, ant, and occasional termite activity that benefits from targeted perimeter protection.
North Park (92104): Residents and property managers contend with cockroach and rodent pressure driven by dense bungalows and aging plumbing in multiunit buildings.
Clairemont (92117): Proximity to canyon greenways and irrigation corridors increases mosquito breeding and creates recurring termite pressure for single-family homes with wood foundations.
Ocean Beach (92107): The beachfront location combined with many older wood-frame houses makes ant, termite, and rodent control common around vegetation-rich yards.

FAQs About Pest Control in San Diego
When are pest problems most active in San Diego?
San Diego’s mild Mediterranean climate means some pests are active year round, but activity peaks by pest type. Termite swarmers are most common in late winter through spring. Ants, scorpions and mosquitoes increase in the warmer spring and summer months. Rodents often seek shelter in fall and winter. Our team accounts for these seasonal trends when scheduling inspections and recommending preventative maintenance.
Which pests are most common for San Diego homes and apartments?
The most common local pests include subterranean termites, various ant species, cockroaches, rodents, striped bark scorpions, bed bugs and mosquitoes. Coastal and inland neighborhoods can see different mixes of pests, and our technicians tailor treatments based on the specific pest and property type. We specialize in termite and bed bug control and offer eco friendly options with a 100% money back guarantee.
How do San Diego landscaping and nearby natural areas affect pest risk?
Irrigated landscaping, mulch, stacked wood and proximity to canyons or coastal bluffs increase moisture and shelter that attract termites, rodents and other pests. Dense urban neighborhoods with multiunit housing can make control more complex. We provide property specific advice such as reducing excess irrigation, keeping vegetation trimmed away from foundations and removing wood to ground contact to lower pest pressure.
Are there special safety rules or local regulations for pest control in San Diego?
Yes. We follow all state and local regulations and industry best practices, and we take extra precautions near schools, parks and waterways. Our licensed technicians use integrated pest management and eco friendly treatments when possible to protect children, pets and the environment. We also provide documentation and notifications required for commercial properties and real estate transactions.
How does Lloyd Pest Control handle pests in multiunit properties and dense neighborhoods like North Park or Hillcrest?
Multiunit properties require coordinated, building wide strategies to be effective. Our team conducts comprehensive inspections of common areas and individual units, develops a coordinated treatment plan, seals entry points and offers recurring preventative maintenance. We work closely with property managers and owners to minimize disruption and maintain long term control.
What should a homeowner expect during an inspection for termites or bed bugs and how quickly can you respond?
We aim to respond promptly to reports of termites or bed bugs. Inspections are thorough and include interior and exterior checks, crawlspaces and attics when accessible, moisture assessments and use of detection tools as needed. After inspection we provide a clear written plan for treatment and prevention, and we can assist with termite clearance documentation required for real estate transactions. Our three generation legacy means our team brings experienced, reliable service to restore peace of mind.
