Since 1980, we have been protecting homes and investments from unwanted pest problems across Southern California. That means 41 years of experience! We service Orange, San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, and San Bernardino counties. Believe it or not, being an entrepreneur for Andy started at a very early age. Andy first became an entrepreneur at the tender age of 8 years old when he ran his own egg route in his neighborhood. Interestingly enough, his egg route was so successful that sometimes his mother borrowed money from Andy to pay the rent. During Andy's adolescent years, he met his wife Nancy in the 3rd grade and finally started dating her sophomore year of high school. Andy played football and basketball, while Nancy was head cheerleader. The high school sweethearts stayed together into college as Andy received a football scholarship from Stanford University. After graduation, Andy and Nancy headed back down to beautiful Southern California to start their own pest and termite control company, Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating, Inc. The company was established in 1980 and still going strong just like their marriage. That is what Bug Squad and POW! Exterminating is all about. We are a family operated company and your home is where our heart is.

Abandon what you think you know about pest control. Suncoast Pest Management? We’re not just spraying and disappearing. No, we’re trying to show everyone what pest control could be. It’s about people first, the relationship comes first. You’ve been there, right? Companies that vanish on you, techs that roll in late or just zip through like they’re trying to break a record. That’s the opposite of what we’re about. The minute you call, you’re family, not a number on a spreadsheet. To us, pest control isn’t just about eliminating pests, it’s also about bringing back that calm, building up trust, and, you know, being reliable, every single time. Our folks come ready, stay focused, and they actually talk to you, because we want you to feel secure, cared for, not like you’re being ignored or wondering if you’re actually getting results. Tired of the usual pest control merry-go-round? Well, you’re where you need to be. Dial (619) 486-6327 and see the Suncoast difference, relationship before transaction, always.

"Exceptional services every time! Very professional and informative about everything that was serviced. Definitely recommend for all pest control services!"

Best Pest & Wildlife Control, LLC proudly serves our customers with pride, integrity, and attention to the details that matter most to you. This is one of the many things that set us apart from the rest. We are locally owned and operated.

"We used Best Pest & Wildlife control to stop a bat from hanging on a wall outside our house.They inspected the attic for other bats but did not find any. They did say we have a rodent problem in attic and the attic needs to be cleaned and entry points on roof and other areas need to be closed.I accepted their bid and work commenced the next day. The first they did was to clean attic.It took 1 technician no more 2 hrs and the charge for this was $1700 and a sanitization fee of $216.At this point I thought the charge was outrageous. The technician then continued with the project. I called Kane, the same day , to discuss this on how I felt the charge was inflated. He told me I accepted and signed the contract and he could not adjust. I also got charged $199 for ectoparisite cleaning on area where bat perched.It took the technician a few minutes to spray agent on wall and wipe with a cloth. Again , I thought this charge was inflated. My issue is that the charges are too high. Too steep."

Ben was very professional and arranged a contract to trap the skunks and repair the old, damaged wiring. My efficient friendly professional worked was Caleb. Over the next 2 weeks he successfully trapped those 2 skunks in a human removal method. He then repaired all of my damaged crawl space wiring. It is all sealed up.

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

If you seal bees in a wall and don’t leave them any way to escape, they may make one of their own. Otherwise, they’ll die inside the wall, and that creates many additional problems. It takes a long time, and the bees will start rotting, which can make your home smell miserable. All the dead bees and any honeycombs they may have created will also attract a number of bugs or other pests to your home. That’s why we suggest removing the bees entirely, and not trying to seal them away.

DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself. 

Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away. 

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.

Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and spotted lanternflies love.

Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.
