About Us

A Local, Family-Owned Pest Control Company

Ralph Murillo founded Gladiator Pest Control in 2008 after over 15 years working in the industry. He saw the good, the bad, and the ugly of the pest control field—and knew there had to be a better way. We are a local, family owned and operated company that is dedicated to raising the industry standard, one customer at a time. Our entire team of licensed and continuously trained specialists work tirelessly to rid properties throughout Los Angeles of pests—with no infestation being too big or small. 

What sets Gladiator Pest Control apart from the competition is our dedication to our customers. Our compassionate, knowledgeable, and prepared office personnel will listen to your concerns, walk you through next steps, and schedule your appointment—even offering same-day service to get your property back to normal as soon as possible. 

Our technicians arrive on time, in uniform, and with a fully stocked vehicle. We perform a detailed inspection to get a more accurate idea of the nature and severity of your infestation. From there, our team will discuss your options with you—working with you to create a custom treatment plan that meets your budget and safety concerns while helping you get your infestation under control. 

At Gladiator Pest Control, we understand that pests don’t take an off season, so neither do we. In addition to our one-time pest treatments, our team offers ongoing pest management solutions. These preventative treatments are applied either quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your needs.

  • How to Tell if I Have a Rodent Infestation?

    Mice and rats can enter your property through surprisingly small cracks, making themselves comfortable in attics, basements, and behind your walls. Because these pests are nocturnal, it might be hard to spot them, however, there are a few clear signs to look out for if you suspect you have a rodent infestation, including:

    • Tears, rips, or bites in food packaging
    • An unpleasant and pungent musky odor—a telltale sign of droppings, urine, or dead rodents in your home
    • Small brown or black droppings, resembling the size of grains of rice, around your attic or basement
    • Gnaw marks on wires, furniture, fabric, or insultation
    • Discolored, greasy streaks around baseboards
  • I Tried a Store-Bought Pest Treatment and It Didn’t Work. What Should I Do Now?

    While accessible at nearly every grocery store or hardware store, not all store-bought pest controls are created equally. Some products use an insufficient level of the chemicals needed to exterminate pests, others are not targeted to specific infestation you are facing—leading to ineffective treatments. For example, using Aerosol won’t work against cockroaches. Additionally, most of the store-bought treatments aren’t endorsed by industry institutions like IPM and the EPA.

    So, if you have used a spray, bomb, or trap to zero success, give our team a call. We utilize industry-leading treatments that are targeted to your unique infestation—backing up our services with unmatched warranties.

  • Do I Need Pest Control in Winter?

    Unfortunately, yes. While most flying insects are associated with the summer months, ground pests such as rodents, cockroaches, spiders, and bed bugs seek out the warmth of your home for protection, so many property owners will see a spike in pest activity during winter months if left untreated.

  • How to Tell if I Have a Bed Bug Infestation?

    Bed bugs are incredibly small, making them challenging to identify until you experience the negative side effects of their presence. With over a decade of experience treating for bed bugs, we have helped thousands of property owners identify bed bug infestations.

    7 warning signs of a bed bug infestation:

    1. You have small, itchy bumps on your body
    2. You notice small red or rusty brown stains on your sheets
    3. You have recently purchased secondhand furniture and brought it into your home without washing it
    4. There appears to be light brown flakes (bed bug casings) on your bedding, furniture, or clothing
    5. Dark spots the size of a period on your fabrics
    6. You notice pale white circles (eggs and eggshells) around the baseboard of your bed
    7. You spot live bed bugs
  • Why Might it Take Multiple Pest Control Treatments?

    The lifecycle of pests is quick and persistent. So, if you are suffering from a particularly bad infestation, it might take multiple visits to ensure there are no hidden eggs or nymphs present. To keep pest infestations at bay, Gladiator Pest Control offers a variety of ongoing treatment plans to help our neighbors avoid these troubling infestations, including quarterly, bi-monthly, and monthly solutions.
