About Citadel Pest & Termite Control
Built on Experience. Driven by Trust.
Citadel Pest & Termite Control was founded on a simple belief: every homeowner deserves honest recommendations, a thorough inspection, and clear explanations before making any decisions. After more than 12 years serving San Diego properties, we're building the kind of pest control company we'd want to invite into our own homes.
Why I Started Citadel Pest & Termite Control
For more than 12 years, I had the privilege of helping homeowners and businesses throughout San Diego solve pest and termite problems.
Along the way, I realized that most frustrations weren't caused by pests alone—they were caused by the service experience.
Customers were often passed between departments that didn't communicate well. Too often, recommendations felt driven by sales goals instead of what homeowners actually needed.
I believed there had to be a better way.
Citadel Pest & Termite Control was built on a simple philosophy.
Â
Inspect first.
Explain clearly.
Recommend honestly.
Build relationships that last.
Every recommendation begins with understanding your property—not with selling you the most expensive service. Our goal isn't to become the biggest pest control company in San Diego. It's to become the company people trust enough to recommend to family, friends, and neighbors.
"We're not trying to become the biggest pest control company in San Diego. We're building the company we'd want protecting our own homes."
