Services
Ant Control
Our ant control service targets all common species through perimeter treatments and strategic baiting. We apply low-impact solutions to foundation areas, sidewalks, and entry points while ensuring pet safety. Technicians identify colony locations to prevent recurring infestations, providing both immediate relief and long-term prevention for residential and commercial properties.
Termite Fumigation
Structural termite fumigation uses sulfuryl fluoride gas to eliminate infestations in three days. The process includes radar detection for hidden colonies and Thermapure heat treatments for localized infestations. We provide comprehensive protection plans against both drywood and subterranean termites, including annual inspections and preventive barrier treatments for Southern California properties.
Rodent Control
Our SMART 24/7 rodent monitoring system combines electronic traps with professional inspections. The service includes property assessment for entry points, humane removal, and exclusion techniques. We use environmentally friendly baiting systems and provide ongoing maintenance plans to prevent re-infestation, addressing both immediate problems and long-term prevention needs for homes and businesses.
Bed Bug Treatment
Specialized bed bug treatments include thorough inspections using detection methods and targeted heat treatments. Our process involves two-phase applications spaced 14 days apart to eliminate all life stages. We provide mattress encasements and follow-up inspections to ensure complete eradication, with services available for both residential properties and commercial establishments like hotels.
Mosquito Control
Monthly mosquito treatments target breeding areas in lawns, bushes, and trees during peak seasons. Our barrier sprays create protective zones around properties while maintaining environmental safety. The service includes larval control measures and habitat modification recommendations, providing effective protection against disease-carrying mosquitoes while preserving beneficial insect populations.

Michael did an absolutely wonderful job with our home. Our complex uses Corkys for their pest control needs and they don't disappoint! We unfortunately ended up with bird mites in my son's room thanks to a lovely Mama bird choosing our roof to make her nest. We did a treatment and those little bugs were stubborn but Michael came back quickly and was able to solve the problem. So far my son has slept peacefully and bite free since! Thank you so much Corky's!

We really appreciate the professionalism and kindness of our service technician. Solomon is so thorough when coming out to treat our property. One thing that we appreciate is that he never tries to "upsell" us on any product or additional service. He simply applies what is needed. We never have problems with spiders, ants, etc. I highly recommend Corky's Pest Control to everyone.
