Residential Pest Control in Del Sur
The community of Del Sur is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills of chaparral, California’s native plants, and home to an abundance of wildlife including
Hearts provides Del Sur residents a multitude of pest control services – including landscape pests!
Insects, rats, and mice! This native landscape is adjacent to the neighborhoods of Del Sur which means an opportunity for rats and mice and other critters to roam the neighborhoods and right into your new home!
Hearts believes all creatures are important and have their place in the environment, even ants; ants aerate the soil and eat decomposed matter.
Insects and wildlife are not “pests” until they come indoors and destroy your property or cause infestations.
Here are just a few of the residential pests we treat:
- Home Invading Insects – ants, spiders, earwigs, waterbugs, fleas, and ticks.
- Landscape and Garden Pest Control
- Rats and Mice
- Gophers and Squirrels
- Cockroaches
- Hive and Honeycomb Removal (Inside attic or within 100 ft. of a home)
- Mites and Parasites (Most all rodents and birds have them!)
- Bed Bug Control – reduced pesticide approaches available.
- Wasp Treatment and Nest Removal
Ant and Spider Control in Del Sur
Ants can be pests both indoors and outdoors. Here you see them “farming” aphids for their sweet honeydew.
Have you ever noticed how ants seem to make their way indoors all-year-long? That’s because insects and other pests thrive in Del Sur’s Mediterranean climate where we have hot, dry summers, and mild, wet winters.
Argentine ants are hard to control with Do-It-Yourself methods.
ANTS: Ant infestations can be very frustrating… just as soon as you think you’ve got the little buggers under control, a new trail appears out of nowhere. More often than not, you’re dealing with
Argentine ants, invaders from South America. This particular species has multiple queens whereas most ant species have just one queen per colony.
Argentine ants are tiny dark brown or black and when threatened, one of several queens will break away and start a new colony elsewhere on your property. This is why Do-It-Yourself methods don’t work very well with these ants. Our service professionals are trained in identifying ant species and treating according to their habits and taste preference.
SPIDERS: Creepy crawly spiders have a harrowing effect on most people; especially when found inside the house. Most indoor spiders actually do better indoors than out, like Daddy Long-legs. …
Black widow spiders are toxic to humans and pets! We can help you keep the spider population down!
It’s the widow spiders to be careful of – Black and Brown widow spiders. Both are toxic to humans and both like to hide. Hearts will not only treat and eliminate spiders; we remove their webs and egg sacs up to the first level of the home. For more information on spiders please visit our page on
Spider Control.
Because spiders hide, sometimes you may see new webs a few days after treatment. We provide follow-ups free-of-charge for both spiders and ants.
Rat, Mice, Gopher and Squirrel Control in Del Sur
Southern California’s drought is often the reason we experience an increase in pest populations. Like humans, there are three things rodents need to survive: water, food, and shelter. Animals and insects are attracted to the water supply in the neighborhoods of Del Sur where they can also find food and shelter.
Did you know that rats are attracted to dog poop? Gross! But it’s true…if your dog is leaving presents behind on your lawn (or the neighbors) you might just find rat droppings around the yard as well. Check out our Blog on
Pets and Pests.
We do trapping, exclusions to stop entry points, and total clean up and restoration available. Hearts provides free rodent inspections for the residents of Del Sur.
A Word on Bees
Honeybees are essential for pollinating our food crops.
Bees pollinate our flowers and vegetables and they deserve our love for it. Is there a more beneficial species than bees? But, they can be dangerous when they establish a hive in close proximity to humans.
Bees often seem very docile, but like ants, they can send signals that change their collective behavior in seconds. We can help you with
Bee Removal.
Hearts understands the importance of bees to the environment and we only provide bee and hive removal if they are within 100 ft. of your home or if the bees are in your attic or walls.
Landscape Pest Control
Hearts treats a variety of landscape pests from whiteflies on your hibiscus to scale insects on your citrus trees. Each visit to your property, our technicians will inspect for the pest problem presented and for potential pest control issues that may arise.
Like aphids, mealybugs also cause damage to plant leaves.
Insects can make the leaves of plants and shrubs look unsightly, discolored, and dwarf their growth. Here are just a few of the landscape pests we treat:
We offer FREE, no pressure, inspections and proposals for landscape pest management in Del Sur.
