How we score

Every number here is computed from live public Google data, not opinion or payment. Rating is the company’s current Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, measured against other Los Angeles pest control companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.7 built on over 2,000 reviews carries more weight than a perfect score from a smaller base. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving feedback. No company can pay to change these numbers.

What to ask before you hire a pest control company

Is the treatment a one-time visit or an ongoing plan, and what does each cost?
Are the products used safe for pets and children in the home?
Do you treat the source of the problem or just the visible symptoms?
How soon can you schedule an appointment, and is same-day service available?
Is there a guarantee if the pests come back after treatment?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these Los Angeles pest control companies?

We started from every pest control company in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data on this page carries a verified date (August 2026). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which LA pest control company should I call for bed bugs specifically?

Bed Bug Exterminator LA King focuses exclusively on bed bug treatment and is the specialist on this list, while general companies like Orkin and A Step Above also handle bed bugs alongside other pests.

What does pest exclusion mean, and do I need it?

Exclusion means physically sealing the entry points rodents or insects use to get into a building, not just treating the pests already inside. Rodent Expertz on this list specializes in exclusion work, which is often needed to keep rodents from returning after initial treatment.

The bottom line

Orkin or A Step Above are the safest defaults for a general pest problem given their scale and top ratings, while LA King and Rodent Expertz are the better calls for bed bugs or rodents specifically. Whichever you choose, ask upfront whether the price includes a follow-up visit if the problem persists.
