Pest Control Company in Los Angeles, CA
At Access Better Pest Management, we believe pest control isn’t just about spraying chemicals and hoping for the best — it’s about identifying the real problem, targeting the root cause, and providing long-term solutions. For over 25 years, we’ve specialized in one thing: protecting homes and businesses from the devastating effects of termites and rodents. Unlike general pest control companies that offer one-size-fits-all treatments for everything from ants to spiders, we focus exclusively on the two most damaging threats to Southern California structures.
Los Angeles, with its unique blend of urban sprawl, historic architecture, warm climate, and dense population, presents a particular challenge when it comes to pest control. Rodents and termites thrive in these conditions. That’s where we come in. From Downtown lofts to hillside homes in Hollywood, we help property owners not only remove the problem but prevent it from coming back — while also repairing any damage pests may have caused.
When you work with Access Better Pest Management, you’re choosing expertise, dedication, and results. You’re choosing a team that cares deeply about your property and your peace of mind.
Why Choose Access Better Pest Management in Los Angeles?
Choosing the right pest control company can make all the difference in your outcome. In a city as sprawling and diverse as Los Angeles, not every company is equipped to handle the wide range of environments and building types found across the region. We are.
We’ve worked in the narrow crawlspaces of 1920s bungalows in Silver Lake, inspected mid-century homes in the Hollywood Hills, treated termite infestations in commercial properties in West LA, and repaired rodent damage in everything from small apartments to multi-family residences in North Hollywood.
Here’s why so many of our clients trust us:
- Over 25 years of hands-on experience
- Focused expertise in termites and rodents only
- Transparent pricing and clear communication
- Detailed photo documentation and written reports
- Long-term prevention and repair solutions
- Locally based technicians who understand LA architecture and climate
We’re not a national chain with a call center. We’re a Southern California-based team that brings a personal, professional touch to every job.
Termite Inspections & Treatments
Los Angeles homes and businesses are under constant threat from termites — especially subterranean termites, which are the most common in the region. These silent destroyers feed on wood, flooring, drywall, and other cellulose-based materials, often without visible signs until the damage is severe.
Our termite inspection and treatment services are comprehensive and focused on early detection and effective eradication. We understand the architecture of LA homes and the common access points termites use. That allows us to be highly effective in both identifying and treating infestations.
Our process includes:
- A full walk-through of your interior and exterior
- Detailed inspection of crawlspaces, attics, basements, and foundations
- Use of moisture meters and probing tools to detect hidden activity
- Identification of current infestations, signs of past damage, and areas of concern
- High-resolution photo documentation
- A clear, written inspection report with findings and recommendations
- Discussion of treatment options tailored to your situation
We offer both localized spot treatments and full-structure treatments depending on the severity of the infestation. Our products are chosen for their effectiveness and safety, and we’re always happy to explain exactly what we’re using and why.
If you’re buying or selling a property, we also offer specialized real estate inspections and reports. Whether you’re a first-time homeowner in Echo Park or a seasoned investor managing a portfolio of rentals in Culver City, termite protection is one of the best investments you can make.
Rodent Control Services
Rodents are a major concern in Los Angeles, particularly in older neighborhoods and densely populated areas. Rats and mice are more than just a nuisance — they pose serious health risks, cause structural damage, and can create unsanitary living conditions.
Our rodent control strategy is designed to go beyond trapping or poisoning. We focus on identifying how rodents got in, removing them humanely and effectively, and making sure they can’t return.
Our rodent services include:
- Identification of rodent species and nesting sites
- Inspection of attics, basements, crawlspaces, garages, and kitchens
- Assessment of entry points including vents, gaps in siding, rooflines, and plumbing
- Exclusion services to seal off entry points with rodent-proof materials
- Sanitation and deodorization of contaminated areas
- Trapping and removal services tailored to your property
- Follow-up inspections to confirm resolution
Rodents in Los Angeles often exploit structural flaws in older buildings. They can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, chew through electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), damage insulation, and contaminate food sources.
Our team is trained to look for signs others miss. We understand how rodents behave in urban environments, and we use that knowledge to your advantage. From the first call to the final inspection, we aim to restore safety and comfort to your space.
Damage Repair Services
Pest inspection and removal are only part of the process. Once the pests are gone, there’s often damage left behind — sometimes extensive, and always needing to be addressed the right way.
We partner with trusted tradespeople and licensed professionals to provide complete repair services. Whether you need a simple insulation replacement or reconstruction of structural framing, we’re equipped to handle the job.
Our repair services include:
- Replacement of termite-compromised wood (rafters, joists, beams, subfloors)
- Restoration of rodent-damaged insulation, wiring, or HVAC ducting
- Repair of contaminated or urine-soaked building materials
- Sanitization of crawlspaces, attics, and basements
- Minor structural and cosmetic repairs
By offering repair services, we take the stress out of coordinating multiple vendors. We become your single point of contact from start to finish — and we never cut corners. Everything we do is backed by experience, quality materials, and a commitment to doing things the right way.
Specialized Inspections
Many Los Angeles homes and buildings — especially those built before 1980 — require a more nuanced approach to pest inspections. These structures often have unique design elements and vulnerabilities that make them attractive to pests.
Our specialized inspections are designed to identify issues that general pest control companies often miss.
These services include:
- Escrow and pre-sale termite and rodent reports for real estate transactions
- Annual preventative inspections for homeowners and property managers
- Attic and ductwork inspections for hidden rodent activity
- Crawlspace moisture and ventilation assessments
- Documentation for insurance claims or contractor coordination
Our reports include high-resolution photos, clear explanations, and practical next steps. Whether you’re preparing a home for market or just want to know where you stand, we’ll help you make informed decisions.
Attic Insulation & Restoration
Attics are one of the most vulnerable parts of any home when it comes to rodents. Once inside, rats and mice contaminate insulation with urine and droppings, chew through electrical wiring, and create nesting sites that pose serious health risks.
We offer full attic restoration services, including:
- Removal of contaminated insulation
- Sanitizing and deodorizing treatments to eliminate odors and bacteria
- Sealing of all rodent entry points in the attic
- Blown-in insulation installation for improved thermal efficiency
- Ductwork inspection and repair if needed
This service not only addresses health concerns but can significantly improve your home’s energy efficiency. Many homes in Los Angeles lack adequate insulation due to age, rodent damage, or both. We bring attics back to code and give you a healthier, safer, and more efficient home.
Consulting Services
Not all pest control needs to result in treatment. Sometimes you need a second opinion, expert guidance, or a better understanding of your options. That’s where our consulting services come in.
We offer independent, no-pressure consulting for:
- Homebuyers reviewing inspection reports or disclosures
- Landlords evaluating pest control proposals
- Property managers implementing preventative protocols
- Homeowners confirming treatment options or damage assessments
Our goal is to provide clarity and confidence. We’ll walk you through the risks, the potential solutions, and what to prioritize — all without the hard sell.
Our team brings decades of real-world knowledge to the table. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply want to make sure you’re doing the right thing, we’re here to help.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have termites?
Termites are often called “silent destroyers” because they work behind the scenes — and by the time you see obvious damage, it can be too late. Some early warning signs include:
- Hollow-sounding wood when tapped
- Buckling or sagging floors or walls
- Mud tubes on exterior walls or foundation areas
- Discarded wings near windowsills or baseboards
- Tiny holes or pinholes in drywall
However, the best way to know for sure is to schedule a professional inspection. At Access Better Pest Management, we use specialized tools and techniques to detect even the earliest signs of termite activity. If you live in an older home or haven’t had an inspection in a few years, it’s time.

Do you offer same-day or emergency services?
In many cases, yes. If you’re dealing with an active infestation, we do everything we can to prioritize your call. We understand how stressful pest issues can be — especially when they’re causing health risks, property damage, or interrupting daily life.
We offer same-day or next-day scheduling for inspections, especially in urgent situations. For serious rodent activity or visible termite swarms, we can dispatch a technician promptly to assess the situation and begin developing a treatment plan.
Can you help with damage caused by pests?
Absolutely. One of the things that makes us unique is our commitment to full-service solutions — not just detection and treatment. When rodents destroy your attic insulation or termites chew through a subfloor, you don’t need to call multiple contractors. We manage the inspection, the diagnosis, the treatment, and the repair process from start to finish.
Our repairs are handled by licensed professionals who specialize in pest-related damage. We don’t offer cosmetic patches — we do real repairs that restore safety and function to your property. Whether it’s a chewed wire, a rotted beam, or a contaminated crawlspace, we’ll take care of it the right way.
What makes you different from other pest control companies?
We’re not a jack-of-all-trades. We don’t do general pest spraying or try to upsell you on monthly contracts for things you don’t need. We specialize in two critical areas: termites and rodents — and we do them exceptionally well.
Our team is made up of experienced professionals who genuinely care about our clients. We don’t send out salespeople with quotas — we send trained technicians with tools, knowledge, and the desire to help. Every report we generate is honest and clear. Every repair we recommend is necessary. And every treatment plan we offer is based on evidence and tailored to your property.
Our local roots in Southern California also mean we understand the specific challenges you face. From the old Spanish-style homes in Los Feliz to the stucco duplexes of West Adams, we know the architecture, the climate, and the pests.
