Services

Southwood Pest Control is family owned and operated and has been serving homeowners and local businesses for more than 45 years.
Termites (commonly known as white ants) are one of the most destructive pests in Southern California. They cause millions of dollars damage to homes and structures throughout SoCal every year, which is why termite protection is so important. This damage is not covered by most insurance companies, therefore it's best to ensure all preventative termite protection methods have been established.
The process of buying, selling, or refinancing a property is not as easy as most people think. Basically, you are required to do some paperwork, cleaning, repairs, and meet strict deadlines. Fortunately, we are here to help. At Southwood Pest Control, we offer reliable, timely, and escrow-specific termite inspection services to help you in selling your property or acquiring a new one.

This company is wonderful. Family owned & operated for generations. It's no wonder they've been in business so long (since 1974). They really take care of their customers & make sure that your experience is as pleasant & simple. Really great staff all the way around from the inspectors who are extremely knowledgeable to the office personnel who are so polite & flexible. You need a termite Company or pest Control company then Southwood is the answer!

Used this company for my rental property in Huntington Beach for termite inspection, fumigation and fixing recommended damages in 10/2020. Quote was higher than expected due to the "pandemic premium" as that was the provided reason. Credit card info was required as part of authorizing the work agreement. After my credit card was charged, I found out that work was incomplete!!! I discovered that part of the recommended fix was not done after I did my own walk-through. This was very disappointing to say the least, especially when I paid a higher cost. We had to spend extra time coordinating

I recently used this company for the termite fumigation at my residence, it was such a pleasure to work with both Chad and his son they made the process very easy and explained everything to my wife and I prior to starting, and we're very thorough and easy to work with. It is such a breath of fresh air to work with people that actually do what they say they're going to do when they say they're going to do it I can't say enough good about this company and their work ethic thank you very much :)

I just used Southwood Pest Control for my termite inspection and wood repair on my house. I have used a dozen in the past, and I cannot express how impressed I was with their professionalism and work product. They were upfront with their pricing, showed up on time and completed everything as promised and in a timely manner. Their workmanship on finishing wood and extermination was exceptional. A+ company that I would use again and again if I were to remain in Southern California.

Don't even waste your time!!! I really don't even want to give them a 1 star but it allows me to let you all know how bad of an experience i had. Sucks that i had to switch my day off and rearrange my week to make time for an appointment that i SCHEDULED with the Manager Jose Barragan that he ended being a no show no call. Texted him 90 minuets before my SCHEDULED appt. to confirm (got no answer) called him 30 minuets after my SCHEDULED appt. to see what's going on? (got no answer left a message on his phone). I am now running 3 hours behind everything else i had to do that day.

Although the termites are probably gone, our roof is completely torn up from their process! 55 broken tiles from their tenting!!! My painter and handyman had helped survey the roof the day before the tenting, and they had identified 5 tiles that were broken that needed replacement, and showed me the pix. (Our painter had been up and around on the roof for 3 weeks preceding this and had managed to walk all around without causing mayhem.) Southwood showed up at 3 pm and put the tents on in the dark. The cost for the repairs to the roof is almost the amount I paid for the tenting. So be sure

After calling them several times about the food THAT THEY ruined by opening the freezer and not closing it after, I still HAVE NOT heard back from them. THEY JUST DO NOT CARE!
They treated me in an absolutely disgraceful way. Around $50 of my frozen food had to be thrown away (I took photos beforehand). Southwood Pest Control haven't even responded to my many calls. I am a senior, not much money to live on; I try to get frozen dinners when they are discounted.
Some people reading this update may think of themselves "well, it was only $50+ that she lost because they left the freezer

I have given this company more than 5 attempts to follow through on pest control appointments. There have been two months where technicians claim they arrived at my property and I was billed. I have video cameras surrounding my property that are linked to my smart phone. Not one of them recorded anyone spraying my home when they claim they arrived. Also, I have been waiting for 4 hours for a technician to arrive. My appointment was at 8am. I've been at home waiting patiently. I just got a call that the technician is finally on his way. This is absolutely no way to conduct business

Always there when I need them! I can even reach our regulars on their cell phones...after hours! Have had a contract with them for at least 5 years and I'm eternally sorry I had not Yelped them sooner :( my bad! They came highly recommended from husbands office and I have only great things to say. Ask for Gregory! Nicest human being, ever. So kind, so helpful!
I Have a horde of ants - they're even in my Keurig! I'm out of my mind but I was able to speak to Gregory and get a first-thing appt - I feel so relieved!
So I'm out of the house with unwell dog for a few hours tomorrow

We have had such a problem with pests like ants, crickets and spiders at our house that was driving us nuts. After one visit from Southwood Exterminator, all of our nuisances are gone. If you are also having similar problems, you shouldn't hesitate to call them up and they will take good care of you. No more crawling around the living room floor searching for crickets in the middle of the night!!
