Whether you are dealing with wood-destroying termites, biting insects, or nuisance wildlife, you can count on Cartwright’s knowledge, safety standards, and dedication to customer satisfaction.

A San Diego Legacy Since 1962

Our Comprehensive Pest Control Services

Termite Control

Termites are one of the most destructive pests in San Diego, causing costly structural damage to homes and commercial properties. Our termite services include detailed inspections, localized treatments, fumigation options, and preventative barriers. We use proven methods to eliminate both drywood and subterranean termites, protecting your biggest investment from future infestations.

Ant Control

Ants are a constant problem in Southern California. Species like Argentine ants and odorous house ants can quickly invade kitchens, bathrooms, and landscaping areas. We locate nests, eliminate colonies at the source, and provide perimeter treatments to stop them from coming back.

Bee, Hornet & Wasp Removal

Stinging insects can be dangerous for families, pets, and employees. Cartwright safely removes and relocates bees whenever possible, and eliminates hornet and wasp nests to prevent future colonies from forming. We focus on safety, environmental responsibility, and long-term protection for your property.

Bed Bug Treatments

Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pests to encounter. These tiny bloodsuckers can spread quickly and are difficult to eliminate without professional intervention. Our bed bug experts use advanced detection and heat or chemical treatments to completely eradicate infestations — fast, discreet, and thorough.

Cockroach Extermination

Cockroaches thrive in warm, humid environments, making San Diego kitchens, bathrooms, and basements ideal for infestations. We target roaches with a combination of baiting, exclusion, and sanitation solutions to eliminate both visible bugs and hidden egg cases. Our treatments focus on long-term prevention as well as immediate relief.

Flea Control

Fleas can spread rapidly through carpets, upholstery, and pets. Even if you treat your animals, fleas often remain in the environment. Cartwright uses comprehensive treatments to target all stages of the flea life cycle — eggs, larvae, and adults — to restore your home’s comfort and safety.

Mosquito Reduction

Nothing ruins an outdoor gathering faster than mosquitoes. Our technicians identify breeding sites, apply environmentally friendly larvicides, and use targeted barrier sprays to reduce mosquito populations around your property. Regular maintenance ensures long-lasting protection throughout the warmer months.

Rodent Control & Exclusion

Rats and mice can spread disease, damage insulation and wiring, and contaminate food sources. We provide full-service rodent control — including trapping, removal, sanitation, and exclusion — to seal entry points and prevent future infestations. Whether you are hearing scratching in the walls or finding droppings, we’ll locate the source and eliminate the problem.

Trapping & Wildlife Removal

San Diego’s growing communities often encounter unwanted wildlife such as raccoons, opossums, skunks, and squirrels. Our humane wildlife removal services include trapping, relocation, and exclusion to protect both people and animals. We also repair entry damage and provide odor control to restore your property.

Spider Control

While most spiders are harmless, species like black widows pose serious risks. We inspect attics, garages, crawlspaces, and exterior areas, remove webs, and apply targeted treatments to eliminate spiders and the insects that attract them.
