San Marino homes are beautiful mature landscaping, quiet streets and well-kept properties. That same environment can also create steady pest pressure: irrigation, dense shrubs, garages used for storage and tiny entry gaps around doors and utility lines.
ExterMetro provides residential pest control in San Marino, CA with a prevention-first approach. We don’t just treat what you see we focus on where pests start, how they’re getting in and what keeps the activity recurring.
Your initial service begins with a full evaluation of the property. We inspect for activity, entry points and harborage areas, then build a treatment plan around what we find.
Most pests have to travel the exterior edge of your home before they ever show up inside. We reduce that pressure by focusing on the foundation line, entry points and common pathways. Webs and nests are addressed as needed and targeted exterior treatments help create a protective barrier.
Garages are one of the most common “staging zones” for pests. We inspect cracks, corners, seams, and storage areas, then treat strategically to reduce harborage and movement into the home.
We inspect for insect activity and nesting zones and treat the areas most likely to feed recurring problems especially near the structure. When needed, we spot-treat up to 30 feet from the home and address webs or nests found during service.
After the first visit, most services are exterior-focused maintenance designed to keep pest pressure low and prevent indoor activity. As seasons and conditions change, your service adapts so your home stays protected year-round.
Because you want it handled right, not rushed.
At ExterMetro, we take the time to inspect thoroughly, explain what we find in plain language and recommend the option that actually fits your situation, whether you need termite treatment, ant control, rodent control or a recurring pest maintenance plan.
We’re prevention-focused, not spray-happy. That means targeted treatments, smart monitoring and practical recommendations that reduce the conditions pests rely on, so the problem doesn’t keep resetting.
You’ll also get clear communication and clean workmanship. We show up when we say we will, respect your home or property, and keep pricing straightforward so there are no surprises later.
We love our customers, so feel free to Call or E-mail and we'll get back to you during normal business hours.

Ants are one of the most common issues in San Marino because they’re drawn to moisture, food residue and easy access points.
Here are four ants we commonly see in Southern California homes:
Larger ants that can nest in damp or damaged wood. They’re often a sign of moisture problems, wood contact or hidden leaks.
Small, fast-moving ants that often trail along baseboards and counters. They’re persistent and can be difficult to eliminate without addressing exterior pressure.
Tiny, light-colored ants that can spread through kitchens and bathrooms. Because they can form multiple nesting sites indoors, correct baiting and strategy matters.
A major nuisance ant in California. They can form large interconnected colonies outdoors and repeatedly pressure homes through landscaping, irrigation zones and foundation edges.
