History

Established in 1948.

Harbor Pest Control has its beginning in 1948 with Sid Davis in Point Loma, California. Sid, who was a teacher at Dana Junior High, started his pest business in the summer months when he wasn’t teaching. The needs in San Diego County for pest services grew along with Sid’s interest in growing his company. In 1974, PCOC legend — John Morgenroth and wife Kate bought Harbor Pest Control. While continuing to service the pest needs of San Diego, a marine and quarantine fumigation department was formed in response to a growing ship, yacht and quarantine work. The Morgenroth’s molded Harbor into a very successful family owned business that always put their customers first. When it came time for their retirement, the Morgenroths could have gotten a big check from one of the larger national companies in the area, but instead their decision was to keep the company with a single owner and put their faith in the capable hands of Greg and Mary Augustine.

i highly recommend supervisor jeff crane and technition jeremy. request them. they made a termite experience better and i felt a sense of relief that the situation would be resolved. Jeff is very knowledgeable and educated me. never felt he was trying to sell me more than i needed. Jeremy is very pleasant, effecient and he knew what he was doing. Harbor pest control is lucky to have these employees.

NOT RECOMMENDING. One star because I have too. I’ll choose to not bash Jeff because I was raised better than that. However, we will not use this company and would never, ever recommend to anybody.

Fantastic service. both the tech & the office staff are wonderful. They might not be the cheapest but you get what you pay for & it is worth every cent!

To update from my previous — they did come back out and took care of all of the spiders. I didn’t see any spiders for quite some time (beyond their recommended window).
I called them again to look at a regular bug/​spider service and to talk to them about a house fly (likely caused by rodents under the house). The lady taking my information said they could handle it all (including helping me patch up a hole in the vent where rodents & cats are getting in). When the guy arrived he said he just handles the bugs and wouldn’t do any of the rodent work, which was a little irritating since I was told that he could handle it all.
Regardless, I signed up for a quarterly bug service and hope all goes well there.

They came out to my condo and charged me $ 65 for an inspection which I thought was reasonable. Then gave me a report saying they needed to spray in an area for $ 400.00. I did not think that was reasonable. $ 800 and hour… hmmmmm just to spray!

They are The Best!
Having your home tented can be a very stressful time. But everyone at Harbor Pest Control made it all go as smoothly as possible. Everyone we dealt with was caring and knowledgeable. Thank you so much to Greg, Pat and Jeremy! Sincerely, Diana

Incredible service during a difficult process. The sale of my home required it to be tented for termites. This is not an easy process but Jeff and the staff at Harbor Pest Control did their best to ease stress. The necessary repairs were done on time at the estimated cost, and with excellent craftsmanship. The When Jeff took me through the preparation process he discovered a hummingbird nest in a trellis that needed to be moved to protect the plant. He took care to point it out and to discuss with me what could be done to maintain the integrity of the nest and it’s occupants. He gave great tips on how to prepare the inside of the home too. He gave me his cell phone number and picked up every time I called him. (I was high maintenance) I made it through it and so did the hummingbird family. They may not be the cheapest but they are not the most expensive yet the work is of the highest quality. Thank you Harbor Pest Control for service that went above and beyond from my initial contact to project completion.

in short: ok service, terrible customer service. highish prices.
I was a solid customer for about 6 years. I needed them to come at scheduled times so I could make sure my dogs were locked in, etc. Not always easy and accommodating but I lived with it. The last couple of times I was told «we can’t do Friday because [Jeff?] won’t be in your area that day.» I told them it could be any Friday this month and was told «sorry, he isn’t in your area any Friday this month.» I asked «don’t you have other people who can come?» and was rudely told «no.» I told her if they can’t accommodate my schedule maybe I should just cancel and got «ok, no problem.»
Service was fine for the past few years although $ 85 per quarterly service, outside only, seemed a bit high. Back on Unilocal looking at the competition. I didn’t see an ant the entire time, although spiders a plenty and the occasional cockroach.
So I’m not sure if this is a problem with Harbor Pest, this particular employee, or someone just on an ‘off” day, but they certainly lost my business (and made no attempt to get it back).

Harbor Pest Control was great. They were recommended to me by a friend who used them. I had never had my house tented for termites and it seemed like such a big job. Harbor made it easy and much more affordable than I thought.
Jeff was great. He did the original walk thru and not only made recommendations but explained all of them in detail. Then he came back for a second inspection after I had the necessary repairs made and showed me what to do to prepare — bag anything open and consumable. And he gave me the bags to do it. He explained it all.
The day of the tent Jose was here and was very professional.
They did everything they said they would and were a pleasure to deal with.
I highly recommend Harbor Pest Control!

Harbor Pest Control is a lifesaver. We had a significant silverfish problem in the kitchen, and had the house sprayed twice by another company and then twice by Harbor within about a 7 – 8 week period (total for the 4 treatments). I really believe it was Harbor’s thoroughness that finished it off. Harbor does specialize in treating attics, so if you have silverfish in your attic (coming down through the light fixtures like we had), be sure you get it treated at the source (and not just baseboards/​cabinets.) Not every company will go up into the attic and treat, but Harbor really knows their stuff and they know how. Kevin is the person who came out to spray. He was very professional and knowledgeable, as was the receptionist each time I called to discuss our situation and what would be the best strategy for follow up. We were so relieved that Harbor was finally able to solve our problem that we signed up for their every-​other-​month service plan (for general outside treatment of spiders, earwigs, and ants which we have from time to time as well.)
I cannot recommend Harbor highly enough. We were actually genuinely worried that the silverfish problem could never be solved (because the chemicals can’t penetrate the eggs, and while a spray would kill the live adults, the eggs just kept hatching). I think part of the key too was the repetitive sequence of spraying to keep intercepting the life cycle and not allow newly hatched bugs to get to maturity and breed.

These guys followed he code when do you do the fumigation, like everyone else. And they did the decent job in this regard, like everyone else. But don’t expect them to do a good job for repairing. They only patch up the effected areas and will not replace any damaged wood.

Harbor Pest Control came out to evaluate our ant problem. We had ants in the kitchen, laundry room, bedroom and bath. They said that the type of ants we had did not nest inside and they would only need to spray the outside to get rid of the problem. I was skeptical to say the least since we had so many ants inside, but sure enough the treatment worked that very same day that they sprayed and for less than they initially quoted. Two weeks later and we are still ant free — I couldn’t be happier. Thanks Harbor Pest Control!

I wasn’t too pleased with Harbor Pest Control. The ants and spiders were gone for a month and a half. I called to cancel my service and the woman who answered the phone wasn’t the least bit concerned as to why they were losing my business. After I provided input regarding the service, it was obvious she didn’t care. I don’t know if the company is aware that this is the type of employee they have, but I’m sure they would expect more from their staff.

Five years ago Harbor tented my home and I have them inspect it annually under the extended warranty program.
Today Jeff came out and inspected my home. He performed the best and most comprehensive inspection of all time. He made several recommendations that I will follow and complete today. He was also very courteous and mindful to take care of the property during his inspection.
I would highly recommend Harbor Pest to meet your needs. You won’t be disappointed.

Made an appointment… the termite inspector showed up the following day right on time, prepared, and ready to do the inspection. He did a thorough inspection in about 30 minutes with computer graphing of his results. I received the written report of findings the following day… all for $ 65. Not bad at all… very impressed and would recommend them highly.

They came out on time and took a look at our house and told us that we didn’t need their service. They said we should patch up a few holes near the sewer line and we’d be good. That’s amazing, they basically turned down money for our benefit. The only reason I didn’t give them a 5 is because they could be a little more competitive with the cost of their regular service, and they could use a bit more environmentally friendly pesticide. But they are very trustworthy, and that’s probably the most important thing I look for in any contracted service.
