Orange County Pest Control Service

Pest control was changed forever in California when Gerry Weitz purchased a small company called Hearts Pest Management. Unlike most pest control companies, with management that grew within the industry, Gerry brought expertise, passion and compassion from years of work in social service and quality companies such as ADP and Ernst & Young. This outside-the-box approach to pest control has contributed to new and innovative pest control methods. Our employees are much better trained pest control service technicians and customer service professionals. You'll find that we provide more depth and breathe to each pest control services. What many of our pest control customers find most important is the peace of mind we provide them.

Within these past seven years, Hearts Pest Management has expanded throughout southern California. But the story is not in the expansion. It is in the leadership of this company.

Hearts believes that by providing superior training and benefits, its' "consulting technicians" will rise to the occasion. Pest control technicians are required to advance their education. We are not simply complying with industry standard continuing education. Our company encourages and even subsidizes 50% of higher education of each and every staff member who takes this path. We want to be known as great communicators and we invest in our employees to be sure they communicate well.

Our consulting technicians are more than inspectors and service agents. They must know their customers and what separates them from others that might make a pest solution unique. Learn more about how we hire, train and care for our technicians and you will understand why they are the best!

Hearts provides full-feature pest control solutions. We further differentiate ourselves in the manner of application to your home or business. We don't want you to believe that we treat all our customers the same. Just the opposite is true. You are all unique and special in your own right.

Hearts Pest Management is an EcoWiseCertified company. We were also the first with this designation outside the bay area, which built a local certification to protect their waterways. Now, we offer this ecological approach in southern California. Hearts is a company at the leading edge of integrated pest management, organic pest control solutions and non-chemical approaches whenever possible. We have specialty services that address cleanup and decontamination, mites, parasites and so much more.

Gerry Weitz is a prominent author of pest control articles in Pest Management Professional Magazine. He has been recognized by Costco and has been a nominee for best employer by the regional human resource management association SDHRM.

We believe that Hearts Pest Management is exactly the type of pest control company that Orange County needs, a 21st century pest control company. We understand the sense of diversity in communities. We aspire to be supportive and respectful of Orange County in our treatment of employees, customers and the environment.

Orange County vast region with diverse landscapes and micro-climates. Each canyon and hillside has variations in temperature, humidity and pest habitats that factor into pest control. Specific communities have unique problems due to business, culture, population density and generational mix. Coastal communities such as Newport Beach, Laguna Beach and Dana Point have different problems from more congested coastal towns such as Huntington Beach. These towns are totally different than inland communities such as Anaheim, Santa Ana or the suburban communities of Yorba Linda or Mission Viejo. We take all this into consideration when planning your service.

Haven't you heard: "We live on one gigantic ant hill!" The ants are not tourists. They are here to stay, year round. Ants enter homes and businesses in search of water, sugars or proteins. Most people make some attempts to solve ant and spider problems on their own. Soon they realize that managing insect problems (ants, spiders, roaches, flies, rats, mice, fleas) can be an unpleasant and nasty perpetual job. In addition, DIY (Do It Yourselfers), often making matters worse, exposing themselves to pesticides, and even costing themselves much more money due to improper pest treatments.

Who wants to start tackling these pests when they wake up in the morning! Let us take that burden off your shoulders. We are licensed and safeguarded to deal with pests and pesticides. We can provide you with peace of mind, letting you sleep better and feel far more comfortable in your home or place of business.

Orange County has some of the most beautiful gardens in the world, but they are a challenge to treat. Neighbors can be great friends, but they can also make it very difficult to enjoy your property. It is not uncommon for neighbors to sneak a peek over a fence or out the window to see when it is being sprayed and how you might be poisoning them! When you work with Hearts, you and your neighbor can be happy with the service.

Since the neighbors are looking over the fence, so are we! When we check for pests, we will peek over fences to see if the neighbors are having a similar pest problem or if there are things that require special sensitively to keep the peace. Commonly, our customers will tell us that the pest problem started "over there!" Our pest treatment will factor in your neighbors.

How do our pest control technicians differ from the average technician?

They are trained to be pest control consulting technicians. They understand that while 80% of the job may be routine, it is the other 20% that allows them to distinguish themselves from the average exterminator. They are not simply about killing the pest. They are trained to inspect on every visit to your property, not just for the pest problem presented by the homeowner, but also potential pest control issues that may arise, due to such factors as weather, irrigation, proximity of you property to a neighbor’s infestation, and so on.

Examine our several pest control specialist programs

Organic Pest Control

Hearts Pest Management was the 1st company in southern California that took an interest in and pursued the EcoWise Certification. This is a government sponsored organization that was set up to train pest control companies to apply pesticides, only after careful consideration to environmental impacts. We are constantly investigating new eco-focused products. More companies now display the EcoSmart product logo, but few companies and technicians understand how to use them wisely and effectively. We now have a list of "minimum-risk" and "reduced-risk" labels from companies such as Nissus, Bell and Wise Solutions. We are constantly checking new products listed with OMRI labels (Organic Materials Resource Institute)

Mice control and rat control, rodent exclusion and cleanup

In Orange County, in can be difficult to control mice and rats, but it can be done. We have a very comprehensive program, start to finish, trapping, baiting (exterior only), complete exclusion to eliminate access and here you will find one of the very few companies in Orange County that will actually clean up the mess left over, taking into consideration mites and parasites.

Mites and Parasites

Bee control

Our company offers comprehensive control of bees, including removal of the hive and honeycomb from structures in which they are living, such at attics and wall voids.
