Seven decades. One relentless promise.

There's a reason your neighbors keep Dewey's number on the fridge. In a region where the sun never really sets on pest season, we've spent more than seventy years learning exactly how ants march, where termites hide, and what it takes to keep a SoCal home genuinely protected — not just sprayed and forgotten.

When you call, a real local person answers. When we arrive, a state-licensed technician walks your home inside and out, tells you the honest truth about what's happening, and lays out a plan in plain language. No scare tactics, no upsell theater, no contracts you can't escape. Just the dependable, unglamorous work of keeping bugs on the outside of your walls — done right, every single visit, for over 100,000 homes and counting.

What We Handle

Three ways we defend your home.

1 General pest control treatment

General Pest Control

Year-round protection against the bugs that invade SoCal homes.

Our warm climate keeps pests active all year — and so are we. Targeted treatments tough on bugs and mindful of your family and pets build a protective barrier around your home, then keep it locked down with scheduled follow-ups. No contracts you can't get out of — just service you'll actually want to keep.

  • Ants, roaches, spiders, silverfish, earwigs & more
  • Interior and exterior perimeter treatments
  • Monthly, bi-monthly & quarterly plan options
  • Free re-service between visits if pests return
2 Termite control and fumigation

Termite Control

Full-spectrum elimination — fumigation, spot treatment & prevention.

Termites cost California homeowners billions each year, and by the time you see damage they've likely been eating for months. Our specialists identify the species, map the infestation, and deploy the right solution — from tenting and fumigation for drywood termites to soil treatment for subterranean colonies — handling everything through to clearance paperwork.

  • Drywood & subterranean termite treatment
  • Full structure fumigation (tenting) available
  • Real estate reports (WDO / Section 1 & 2)
  • Renewable post-treatment warranty
3 Rodent control and exclusion

Rodent Control

Seal them out, trap them down, and keep them gone for good.

Rats and mice chew wiring, contaminate food, and carry disease. Our program combines exclusion work — sealing every entry point — with interior and exterior bait stations and trapping. We inspect your attic, crawl space, and perimeter to find every gap, then close it off, with follow-up visits confirming the problem is fully resolved.

  • Roof rat, Norway rat & house mouse treatment
  • Entry-point exclusion and sealing
  • Tamper-resistant exterior bait stations
  • Follow-up confirmation visits included

We had termites found during escrow and Dewey came out fast, got us our clearance report on time, and saved our sale.

"Dewey showed up within 24 hours and completely handled our ant problem. The tech was professional, explained everything, and our kitchen has been clear ever since. Best pest company we've tried in Long Beach."

Maria G.Long Beach

"Been on their quarterly plan for two years now. Never seen a roach since. The technician is always on time, always thorough, and takes time to answer my questions. Totally worth it."

Rooted in Southern California

We're neighbors first.

Dewey Pest & Termite Control has been part of the Southern California community for more than seven decades — and for us, that means more than showing up for service calls.

Over the years we've supported local schools, neighborhood associations, and community clean-up events that keep Southern California beautiful and livable. When you call Dewey, you're not calling a national call center — you're calling someone who genuinely cares about this region and the people in it.
