The Major League Difference

Encinitas residents choose Major League Pest because our trained and state licensed technicians skillfully inspect and recommend the best pest management program for your property. Our low impact pest management solutions provide you with the most effective treatments in and around your home.

Why Choose a Pest Control professional?

Your satisfaction is our number one priority. Remove the stress of having to store and apply pesticides inside your home by using a responsible professional you can trust! Misapplication of chemicals can re-route pest activity by causing the formation of new nests and potentially contaminating your environment. Our extermination professionals are trained to identify pest threats and treat the areas of your home most susceptible to pest activity. Major League Pest has the technology and training needed to not only treat pest symptoms, but rectify pest problems at their source.

Save Money With Guaranteed Services

Over the counter products do not last long and therefore must be applied weekly or bi weekly, forcing you to spend more for the same treatment. The products we use are much more effective and consistent than over the counter products. When homeowners do the math, they quickly realize that after purchasing the products and the time they spend applying them, they could have had a professional take care of the problem for the same or less amount of money.

Pest Control Service

After your initial service, you will notice an immediate impact on the pest infestation levels around your home. Adults will be flushed out and levels will be reduced. Life cycles of many insects revolve around a 30 day time period. Adolescents will hatch and you may still see insects between the initial service and the first regular service until control is achieved.

The first regular service will begin approximately one month after the initial service. Regular pest control services will break the life cycle of the insects around your Encinitas home and help to prevent future invasions. Beginning a regular service program 30 days after the initial service is a key factor to a successful service plan and keeping your home pest free.

Satisfaction Guarantee

We want you to have peace of mind knowing your service is fully backed with a promise of quality. If you experience pest problems after a regular service treatment, Major League Pest will return and retreat your home for free. When you partner with Major League Pest you can stop worrying about pests infiltrating your home.

They were really great to me! They came within two hours after my call, found a problem, made a free estimate, and fixed the problem into two days. Completely satisfied!

This has been my pest control company for over seventeen years. I have had my house tented twice in that time (I’m close to the coast), and they treated for ants about seven years ago. The ants never came back. Always professional and on time, I wouldn’t consider another company.

Major League Pest and Rick Van Tongeren are tops in my book. Rick is that rare guy who combines intelligence with real down to earth wisdom. He always looks for the simple, earth friendly solution. For example, he suggested that I purchase some inexpensive Boric Acid and put a small amount under my kitchen sink and bathroom vanities to take care of small pests like silver fish and ants—cheap, easy and no threat to kids or animals. Also, Rick is persistent. He came back to my house three times to be sure that there was no new evidence of termite infestation, and no charge for the three visits. I will surely go back to them.
— Bill S, Encinitas
Very honest and responsive company! I had some roof rats that were giving me grief and my concern was that if the rats are getting into the attic and chewing stuff. They were also so loud that would wake us up. Mike Ortega their experienced technician showed up fairly quickly within a few days of me contacting the company. He was very thorough and inspected my attic. He also took pictures for me of where the opennings were. All this inspection was free. They certainly got my business in the future for all the pest control needs!

If ants should happen to show up between services, just give us a call - with our ant protection program, homeowners have the peace of mind that a professional will be available for emergency retreatments between regular visits.

Cockroach Extermination

German and Oriental cockroaches commonly enter Encinitas homes and commercial kitchens through cracks, cardboard boxes, electronics, furniture, produce and public sewer systems. In apartments, condominiums, and townhomes, cockroaches travel through walls infesting rooms as they spread. Cockroaches are scavengers that have evolved to survive on any form of waste available. These pests prefer starchy foods, cereals, sugar products, cheese, grease and meat but will also consume cardboard, glue, leather and hair. Roaches form colonies in areas unseen around kitchens and bathrooms. No matter how a cockroach gains entrance to your home, the infestation must be stopped immediately. Cockroaches pose a health concern because they breed and live in and around food preparation areas. Cockroach droppings can cause asthma and as well as spread disease, which is why it is very important to treat an infestations immediately. Depending on the severity of infestation, we use a variety of methods to offer complete control. Your technician will suggest treatment options which provide year-round protection, using the most effective and environmentally-conscious cockroach control solutions.

Rodent Control & Removal

Rats and mice come inside searching for food or shelter from the outdoors. Rodent infestations are very common in north county San Diego homes near large open spaces or newly built homes. Rodents are destructive, disease vectors that should be removed as soon as you begin to notice signs of an infestation. They will chew through wires, insulation, boxes, drywall and a variety of everyday household items to build their nests in attics, garage spaces and sheds. Rats and mice are prolific breeders with a gestation period of only a few weeks. If you believe you have a rodent problem, call us today.

Spider Control

Encinitas is host to hundreds of species of spiders and most are harmless to humans. There are two species to watch out for; Black Widow and Brown Widow spiders. These bite can cause temporary paralysis and are especially dangerous for small children, the elderly and pets. Children under 2 will need emergency care if bitten. If you’re seeing erratic webs close to the ground around your home, call us for an inspection of your property.

Termite Inspection & Treatment

Its 10 times more likely that your home will be damaged by termites than by fires or floods! Drywood and Subterranean termites are very common in San Diego county but each species infests structures differently. Drywood termites nest directly in wood. They are frequently found in attics, roof eaves, decks, patio covers and just about any lumber in the home. Subterranean termites live in underground colonies that can be 15-30 feet below ground and up to 100 feet away from a structure. They are typically found in crawl spaces, garages, patios, and around the foundation of homes. They tunnel through the ground by building unique mud tubes to gain access to food (your home) and to protect themselves, but they must travel back to the soil to retrieve moisture for survival. If you're seeing evidence of a termite activity, call us for a free termite inspection.
