One Visit Won Her Over
“I originally came from using Terminix but needed to cancel… Southland Pest? IMPRESSED!! Southland was extremely communicative and friendly… Technician texted me with a two-hour window and messaged me when they were en-route so I wouldn’t have to wait all day… He sprayed THOROUGHLY which I haven’t seen done with Terminix ever!… We will be sticking with this company for the long-run.”

First and foremost, the customer service was outstanding. From scheduling the appointment to the actual inspection, the team was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. They made sure to work around my schedule, and I never felt rushed or pressured at any point.
When the technician
arrived, I was immediately reassured by how knowledgeable and thorough they were. They took the time to walk me through the entire inspection process, explaining everything in clear terms so I could fully understand what they were looking for. They carefully examined both the inside and outside of my home, paying close attention to every detail to ensure nothing was missed.
What stood out the most was their expertise. It was clear that they have deep knowledge of termite behavior and water damage, and they offered helpful suggestions on how to prevent future issues. They even answered all of my questions with patience and clarity, which I really appreciated.
The peace of mind I now have, knowing my home was thoroughly inspected by such a professional team, is priceless. If you’re looking for a pest control company with exceptional service, expert knowledge, and a team that truly cares about their customers, I highly recommend Southland Pest Control. They exceeded my expectations in every way!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost in Riverside?
One-time treatments in Riverside typically run $75 to $300 depending on the pest, the severity, and the size of your property. Recurring plan visits run $40 to $100 each. Pest type changes the price, and termite work is quoted by structure size. Use our pest control cost calculator for real local numbers, and every quote starts with a free inspection.
How often should I schedule pest control?
Most Inland Empire homes do best on a bi-monthly or quarterly schedule. Our region never gets cold enough to knock pest populations down on its own, so ants, spiders, and rodents stay active in every season. That’s why our Pest Protection Plan visits are timed to what each season brings, with free re-treatment if pests show up between visits.
What are the signs of termites?
Watch for mud tubes along your foundation, discarded wings near windowsills, hollow-sounding wood, blistered paint, and small piles of droppings that look like sawdust or coffee grounds. Riverside homes see both drywood and subterranean termites, and by the time damage is visible, colonies are usually established. A free termite inspection settles it either way.
When is termite season in Riverside?
Subterranean termites swarm in spring, usually after rain on a warm day. Drywood termites swarm in late summer and early fall. Those are just the visible events, though: both species eat year-round in our climate, so “termite season” in Riverside really means the two windows when hidden colonies announce themselves.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied per label by state-licensed technicians, and every visit ends with clear re-entry times for kids and pets. You will always know exactly what was applied and when your family can use the space. Tell us about your household when you book and we will plan around it.
Do you offer same-day pest control in Riverside?
Usually, yes. With offices in both Riverside and Moreno Valley, calling (951) 653-7964 before noon typically gets a technician to your door the same day. Same-day availability covers most of our Inland Empire service area, not just Riverside proper.
Do I need a termite inspection before selling my home?
In most California home sales, yes. Lenders often require a wood-destroying pest report before closing, and escrow timelines don’t leave room for surprises. We perform inspections and issue the reports Riverside escrows ask for, and standard inspections are free. If you’re listing soon, schedule early so any findings can be treated before they hold up your sale.
What areas do you serve?
We cover the Inland Empire from two offices: our Riverside headquarters and our Moreno Valley office. That includes Corona, Norco, Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Perris, Menifee, Temecula, Lake Elsinore, Hemet, and San Jacinto in Riverside County, plus San Bernardino, Chino, Ontario, Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, and Redlands in San Bernardino County. We also handle commercial accounts in Los Angeles County.
What pests are most common in Riverside County homes?
When is flea season in the Inland Empire?
Flea season here runs roughly April through November, peaking in the warm months, but our mild winters mean fleas never disappear entirely, especially in homes with pets or nearby wildlife. If you’re seeing bites or your pet won’t stop scratching in January, don’t wait for spring. Flea treatment works year-round.
Why do cockroaches keep coming back after spraying?
Because sprays kill the roaches you see, not the population you don’t. German cockroaches breed fast enough to outrun a single treatment, and store-bought sprays can scatter them deeper into walls. Breaking the cycle takes baiting, source elimination, and follow-up visits on a schedule. That’s how our cockroach service is built.
They're Not Leaving On Their Own.
Free inspection. Exact quote before any work begins. Same-day service across Riverside and Moreno Valley when you call before noon.
