Customers say: Quick response

"Swarm of bees suddenly appeared on the patio.  The County came out and determined they were not killers but had started to build a nest in the wall of the carport.  An hour after the call to Sam Sorensen from Bee n Wasp Removal, he arrived and quickly diagnosed the issue, put on his cool white bee suit and helmet and triaged the space with a powder substance he applied  in the wall and     that the bees did not like.  He knew the bees had just started to build the nest but said 25,000 were already in the wall.  He explained the entire process and said there would be some casualties but most of the bees would just move away and not come back.  He was done  in 30 minutes.  There was some bee sweep up for a few days but the  problem is solved without fumigation. Relief and gratitude.

"Chris and his team were extremely professional and friendly. They came out the same day I called them and returned exactly when they said they would to finish the job. Fortunately they were able to locate the issue and remove the carcass. Thank you Donahue termite control. I would definitely recommend them to everyone looking for extermination needs!"

"The company contacted me in a timely manner. Rep was knowledgeable & took his time evaluating the condo & building. Answered all my questions. Very honest - advised he recommends that the HOA hire a pest control specialist because the situation must be addressed in the entire structure. I provided his info to the HOA."

"The inspector was Eddie Coria who was very thorough, pleasant, explained things to me, etc. Was very pleased with his inspection. Can't say enough good things about him. The only termites found were in my detached guest house. However the recommendation was to do preventative work in the attic and sub area of my main house, and to treat the guest house. It would cost $2300 for all of the above work. It made zero sense to me to do preventative work when I have no termite problem in my home. I thought it was just a way of jacking up the price. I'm sure that is what the inspectors are told to do. That offended me. I will probably tent the guest house since that is where the problem keeps reoccurring. No treatments have helped."

"Jetty Pest, came every week to help me out with my recent rodent problem. They were kind courteous. Let me know when they were on their way and informed me after every visit how many traps were triggered they stayed with us until the problem was resolved. Could not recommend them more."

"Wanted to leave a review for the awesome crew of pest busters . Their response was super quick and Richard came out the next day to do a thorough inspection. He took the time to walk around and point out all the problem area to me and my husband and clearly explaining our options . Since they completed all the work . All the banging and scratching noises from the rats have basically disappeared! Highly recommend pest busters"

"When they first layed the traps, they tracked mud throughout my house, used my bathroom, left the toilet seat up and put the items I had hanging above the bathroom door onto the ground. I do not recommend this company."

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

In Santa Barbara, kitchens and pantries often attract ants, while bathrooms can harbor moisture-loving pests. Attics and crawl spaces are vulnerable to rodents, especially after rainy seasons. Garages and storage areas frequently shelter spiders, including black widows. Pay attention to exterior foundations and lush landscaping, as the region’s mild climate allows pests easy, year-round access to your home.

Helpful?

In Santa Barbara, use integrated pest management by prioritizing physical barriers and removing food sources before applying treatments. Choose pet- and child-safe bait stations and botanical options like diatomaceous earth. Apply sprays or powders when kids and pets are not present, and ventilate treated areas before re-entry. Planting pest-repellent herbs such as lavender or rosemary, which thrive locally, adds a natural layer of coastal pest control.

Helpful?

Tackling pest control projects in Santa Barbara helps preserve your home’s structure from termite damage, a common local issue. You’ll enjoy outdoor patios and gardens with fewer ant or rodent intrusions, supporting the area’s coastal lifestyle. Proactive pest prevention also reduces allergy and health risks from spiders and rodents, and helps maintain a clean kitchen—important for Santa Barbara’s food-focused households.

Helpful?

As a new homeowner in Santa Barbara, start by sealing cracks around doors, windows, and foundations to block Argentine ants, which are active year-round. Schedule a professional termite inspection due to the region’s mild, coastal climate. Inspect attics and crawl spaces for rodent entry points, especially after wet winters. Regularly clear outdoor debris to reduce spider and black widow habitats, focusing on garages and shaded landscaping.

Helpful?

In Santa Barbara, spotting ant trails, live insects, droppings, or spider webs points to a pest control need. Mud tubes or hollow-sounding wood suggest termite activity, requiring both pest treatment and structural repair. Gaps, chewed wiring, or moisture stains indicate repairs are needed to prevent pest entry. If pest issues recur or affect multiple areas, consider a professional coastal pest prevention service.
