Founded in 1929 by Ray M. Dewey as a single-man operation, Dewey Pest & Termite Control has grown into a 32-branch California firm, with its Pacific Beach branch at 4623 De Soto St, San Diego, CA 92109 serving the Mission Bay corridor and surrounding neighborhoods. In July 1977, Ray's son Steven R. Dewey purchased the company and incorporated it as Dewey Services, Inc., transforming a regional family business into one of California's most established independent pest management networks. The De Soto St branch covers Pacific Beach, Mission Bay, Clairemont, and Linda Vista for both residential and commercial accounts; commercial clients along the corridor — including neighbors like Mission Bay Deli — rely on Dewey's licensed technicians to keep food-service kitchens pest-free and compliant. Services include general pest control, termite inspection and treatment (whole-home fumigation, heat treatment, and localized methods), rodent exclusion, flea control, bed bug treatment, bird management, and free consultations for new clients. The De Soto St branch is listed as available 24 hours, and branch manager Jayson along with field technicians Alfred and Marco are named in reviews for responsive follow-through on complex, multi-visit accounts. Dewey's formulations are marketed as Earth-, pet-, and child-friendly, using Fipronil-based Termidor for ant control — the same active ingredient found in pet flea prevention products; residential and commercial clients in the Mission Bay area also count Waterbar on Mission Blvd among the neighborhood establishments that Dewey services on the same circuit. All technicians and inspectors are state-licensed and receive ongoing training in updated application techniques and California pest management regulations.
