Owner-operated, Carlsbad to Poway
North County pest control from a guy who grew up here.
I’m Kenny Battle. Poway High, UCSD, 12 years and thousands of North County homes. Book Battle Pest Control and I’m the guy who shows up. Every time. Not a rotating cast of strangers in matching polos.

Put a force field around your house
Most pest problems don’t need an all-out war. They need someone to find the way in and shut it. I walk the property, find where the ants are marching and the rodents are climbing, seal what I can and treat where it counts. Then I come back every month to keep it that way.
Think force field. Minus the humming.
No two North County homes are the same
Thousands of North County homes, zero identical. A Carlsbad tract home, a Poway hillside with chaparral out back and an Escondido ranch house by the grove all get different pests, from different directions, for different reasons. Blame the slope, the ivy, the fruit tree or the neighbor’s woodpile. (It’s usually the woodpile.)
A lot of companies run every house through the same playbook: same material, same spray, same fifteen minutes. I call it spray and pray. You get material where you don’t need it, and the actual problem keeps strolling around like it pays rent. I build a plan for your house instead. Right material, right spot, right tactic. Nothing extra.
What I take care of
- AntsArgentine ants on the counter after the first rain.
- SpidersBlack widows in the garage, brown widows under the patio set.
- RodentsSomething running around the attic at 2 a.m.
- GophersMounds that turn the lawn into a mini golf course.
- Wasps and yellowjacketsYellowjackets right where the kids run barefoot.
- CockroachesThe big ones coming in from the garden and sewer line.
- FleasThe dog won’t stop scratching and your ankles agree.
- MosquitoesDaytime ankle biters that showed up in 2014.
I don’t do bed bugs or termite tenting. Here’s what to do instead.
Why one guy beats a whole fleet
Same person every time
I know your yard, your dog’s name and which side of the house the ants hit first. Give it a month and your dog will know my truck.
I know North County ground
I learned these hills on a BMX bike, mostly by crashing into them. I know where water sits after a storm and why Escondido and Carlsbad have completely different problems.
I tell you exactly what I did
What I used, where I put it and how long to keep the kids and dog off it. No mystery spray. No drive-by.
If it comes back, so do I
That’s the Battle Guarantee on the monthly plan. If the problem I treated sticks around or comes back before your next visit, I come back and handle it. Free. No arguing.
You know it’s North County when…
The first rain of fall hits and ants show up on your kitchen counter like they got the memo. The Santa Anas blow and suddenly something is walking around in your attic at 2 a.m. And every spring in Poway, a gopher turns a perfectly good lawn into a mini golf course.
I’ve seen all of it. Usually before lunch.

Not sure what you’ve got?
Text me a photo. Bug, droppings, a weird hole in the yard. I’ll tell you what it is and whether you even need me. Sometimes you don’t. I’ll tell you that too, which is bad for business and great for karma.
