Don’t hire these idiots. They left two baby opossums in a cage for several days at the Econolodge in Woodland, without water or releasing them. They eventually died. This is a violation of law. They are supposed to check the traps every 24 hours. They were contacted and told the animals were in the trap and they still did not respond for several days. It’s animal cruelty and against the law.

Dillon was great!! He is extremely attentive and courteous. One thing to note is we have two cats, and he was considerate and caring of them and where they were at when performing interior spot treatments. I thought that was very thoughtful and kind. 10/10 service. Thank you Dillon!!

Edgar from pest control was absolutely wonderful. He was professional, thorough, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. We recently restarted service after discovering a pretty bad situation in our garage, and Edgar made us feel so much better about everything. He carefully inspected the areas, answered all of our questions, and was very knowledgeable and reassuring. You can tell he truly cares about doing a good job and helping customers feel comfortable. We’re so glad we restarted service and especially grateful Edgar was the technician who came out. Highly recommend!

Rogelio was very detailed. He took care of everything around my house and in my house. He was very thorough. Very informative of things I need to look for I appreciate it. My son is the one that seen him working at the house and was very happy. he said mom he did an awesome job. He was very detailed. I would like to make sure that I keep him as my Pest Control guy

I hate that I even have to give them a single star to post this. I was a customer of this company for a few months in 2024, and unfortunately my experience was consistently disappointing. On multiple occasions, appointments were scheduled, but no one showed up to perform the service. Despite this, I was still charged for visits that never happened. I contacted the company several times to report the missed appointments and reschedule, but the issues continued. Every month I was a customer, my payments were made on time, regardless of whether the service was actually provided. Because of these ongoing problems, I canceled my account in 2024. Now, more than two years later, I was shocked to discover that this company has reported an alleged balance of nearly $400 to collections, causing damage to my credit. I dispute that I owe this money, as I canceled my account years ago and have not received any services from them since. Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend this company. If you choose to do business with them, I strongly encourage you to keep detailed records of your payments, appointments, cancellation confirmation, and all communications. I did everything I was supposed to do as a paying customer, and I’m now having to spend time disputing a collection account that I believe should never have existed. I would not use this company again.

Very bad experience. After three treatments, there has been no improvement—the cockroaches are actually getting bigger and more numerous. In fact, larger cockroaches throughout the house, including on the ceiling, dining table, inside the refrigerator, on our baby’s play mat, in wardrobe , on the bed, in drinking cups, on toothbrushes, and across the kitchen countertops. The technician was dishonest and unprofessional. He marked the exterior treatment as completed even though it wasn’t done. Did not show up for a rescheduled appointment without any notice. The worst part was that I saw the technician sitting in his car when I got home. He saw me arrive, but drove away, and later claimed no one was home to perform the treatment. Completely unacceptable. I’ve had to take time off work multiple times for nothing just waited at home. I would not recommend this company.

Overall, it went well. However, I do wonder why, when following up with knocking down the webs after spraying. Why aren’t the webs knocked down off of nearby shrub? We have a retaining wall, for example, in the backyard and shrubbery just behind where you sit down on the edge of the retaining wall and there are thick webs, black widow webs that are still connected from the shrubs attached to the edge where one can sit down and these webs were not knocked down. I appreciate the web knockdown on the house itself. But, I think the webs should be knocked down from in between the shrubs as well. Hopefully that will get better over time.

Justin did an excellent job! He was professional, punctual, and took the time to make sure everything was completed thoroughly. The service was done efficiently, and he left everything looking great. I really appreciate his attention to detail and friendly attitude. I highly recommend Justin to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service. Thank you for a job well done!

I was contemplating discontinuing service because of the quality of the work performed by the previous service representatives. I personally saw the previous service tech attempting to spray around my property, but nothing was discharging from the sprayer. Additionally, after the technician completed his service, i snapped some pictures of cob webbs. Today , a new technician showed up and his his performance was like night and day from the previous technician. Not everyone takes their job seriousl .

I think the service is good. I like that the tech texts before they come by. I also like that you can get another service if you see any bugs in between your regular service. Adrian gave me a heads up when he was about an hour out and I appreciate that. I would love to see the tech close the gate tightly behind them as some of us have dogs. I am grateful for the help keeping my home bug free.

Giovanni is who you want to spray and de spider your home. Fast, effective, friendly, and speaking of friendly cole and Brooks could not have been nicer, more informative, and respectful of our home and property. We are excited to see the results in a month or so.

Salvador/Chava did a thorough and excellent job! He came in and explained things to me, went the extra mile and made sure to address all of my concerns. Really appreciate technicians like him that are willing to make sure the customer is happy.

Lorenzo was great! He came to my home and took the time to meet my family and interact with my dogs so they could become comfortable with him being on the property. I really appreciated that extra effort it showed that he genuinely cares about making both the customer and their pets feel at ease. Lorenzo communicated very well, was friendly and professional, and made a great impression on my entire family. We all liked him and feel very comfortable having him on our property. Excellent customer service.

We had the pleasure of Isiah who came out to our house to take care of our pest problem. First impressions are big and what most stood out is how professional he was throughout the treatment process. The uniform didn’t hurt. Always courteous, always patient (I tend to ask questions and he answered them succinctly but fully), he went about his business with an efficient thoroughness that makes me think we chose correctly in choosing Joshua Pest Control. Isiah is a great representative of what a pest control could and should be, getting a job well done while offering a level of customer service usually associated with a high end restaurant. Would highly recommend.

I have been a client of Joshua’s Pest Control for many years, and employees like Leo are exactly what make this company great. Leo did an outstanding job. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, courteous, and very well-mannered. He took the time to thoroughly inspect the property, explain what he was doing, and answer my questions clearly. I really appreciated how careful and detail-oriented he was throughout the service. He did not rush the job, and he made sure everything was handled properly. Leo was respectful, personable, and a true gentleman. It is always refreshing to work with someone who takes pride in their work and represents the company so well. I highly recommend Leo and Joshua’s Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable, professional pest control service.

We had a great experience with Joshua’s Pest Patrol! A big thank you to the insulation team: Marcus, Graeme, Rob, and Chris for their hard work and dedication. They were professional, knowledgeable, and very informative throughout the entire process. They did an amazing job installing insulation in our attic. We truly appreciate the care and effort they put into their work. Highly recommend!

I had a great experience with Joshua’s Pest Control today. James B. and Taylor S. did the treatment and made sure everything was covered safely and completely. They were polite, answered my questions, and did a very clean job. Happy to leave a 5-star review for both of them.

Excellent service from Jordan today. He took the time to explain what he was doing to treat the exterior of our house for ants including the foundation. The service was covered under our warranty with Joshua since we have a contract for regular quarterly service. I recommend doing that so you can call them whenever you need help with pests.

Alvin from Joshua’s Pest Control did an outstanding job! He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and made sure the treatment was done thoroughly. His attention to detail and commitment to providing excellent service really stood out. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. I highly recommend Alvin to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and top-quality pest control service. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Very fast response time when called for service. My tech Renne offered plenty of information regarding my pest problem. Brooks pest control is an effective, cost-conscious way to go!

Richard was amazing! We’ve been dealing with a huge ant problem for over a year, and with our two-month-old baby at home, I was especially concerned about having the inside of the house treated. Richard was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring. He took the time to explain that the solution he was using was safe and simply advised us to keep our baby away from the treated areas for about an hour, which gave me so much peace of mind. He thoroughly treated our entire home, both inside and out, and was very professional, friendly, and helpful throughout the whole visit. It’s clear he cares about doing the job right and making his customers feel comfortable. I highly recommend Brooks Pest Control.

My online request for a scheduled visit was responded to very quickly. Tyler was very personable and helpful in arranging a date/time for a technician to visit my home. My technician, Autumn, and her trainee Andrew(?) were very friendly and explained in detail before beginning what the process would be to treat our ant issue. I highly recommend this company.

Our technician, Robert V., did an exceptional job explaining exactly what he was doing and why he used two products to tackle our ant issue. He explained how the ants react and their motivation for entering the home at specific locations. He was very kind, personable, and knowledgeable about pest control. We’ve used Brooks Pest control since moving to CA and they’ve done a great job, but Robert was a standout because of his experience and knowledge.

I believe my service man’s name is Colin! He is the very best! The customer service person did not tell me I had to leave the house for an hour in order to spray inside. I am elderly and was not prepared to get my cat and leave the house and my housekeeper is here today to clean. But Colin was so thorough and intent on helping me. He came up with great solutions to stop the invasion of ants. I may still have you come again and spray inside. Colin gets 5 stars.

Zavier Cordell was amazing! He truly is an angel. So patient with all my questions and extremely helpful. He is one of the nicest people and was extremely thorough with pest control. I’m looking forward to the results and can’t thank him enough for all his help.

Braden did an excellent job inspecting our house. He was thorough, professional, and took the time to explain what he was looking for and what we should keep an eye on. He answered all of our questions clearly and made the whole process easy and reassuring. Highly recommend working with him!

Germayn has been an amazing technician for our home and we couldn’t be more pleased with his service. He always communicated his eta via text and communicate back quickly with any questions or requests we have. He updated what he did that day upon completion and as a cherry on top, he gives me recommendations or automatically sets up additional services as he see fit. This morning it was raining so he couldn’t spray as needed due to weather so he instead did what he could with granulars for ants and set up to return as soon as the weather clear- without me asking! THAT is real service. Hats off to him for being amazing!

Brian K has been servicing my house for a while now and he always does a great job! He is very communicative and even remembers my dog (which is a plus for me!). I have been very happy working with this company.

Loc was fantastic! He was patient & communicative and put us at ease throughout our service. I also appreciate how quickly HomeShield was able to get us on the books. Looking forward to our ongoing service plan! Editing my review: after a second follow up, I am extremely satisfied with the service we’ve received from HomeShield. We were still having ongoing issues and the company made sure that we were taken care of. Special shoutout to Bryana and our technician Stephan for their excellent care and attention to detail.

Today Michael Mendoza came to service my home. I’ve been with Brooks for over a year now and none of the other service members have done the job like he did today. He was courteous, pleasant to speak with, concerned and listened to all my concerns. He was very thorough and did a fabulous job with communicating what he had done. Thanks Michael! I left a message with your boss!!

this is my first time trusting a company who has come personally to my door to talk about their business and all I can say is that these people are AMAZING I wasn’t able to greet Michael as he was doing the work, but what i can say is that I’m honestly IMPRESSED by his work, I’ve been struggling to work on the backyard due to me being busy with work, etc. but this company along with the amazing customer service they have come in clutch! thank you so so much Michael! I wanted to also give a review about Leif Kang he gave such a well, in-depth explanation about the services and how they work, such an amazing man, I can’t explain how amazing this complaint is, thank you guys!

Beatriz was the technician who came to our house. She was incredibly professional and respectful of our home. Not only did she clearly explain what she would be doing, but she also gave us great feedback on her findings. We appreciate that a lot!

Brooks Pest Control was great! Jesse, our technician, introduced himself, explained in detail what services we were getting, estimated time frame and let us know where he would be on our property at all times. He was very detailed and thorough! He also let us know when he was leaving and recapped what services we received and even gave us a card that annotated the exact products used and how much. He was also sure to let us know that all products were pet and kid safe! Definitely worth their price! We will be retaining their services and hope everyone else does too! Thank so much Brooks Pest Control!

Brooks is consistent with their service and professionalism. Today Michael, the technician informed me I’d left my car door wide open and kindly closed it for me. He was courteous and personable. Thank you!

The only reason I put good on my review is because we haven’t had service yet. But Waylyn gave us better price, better service.We were with bell pest control and he gives a better deal, better service now it’s up to you to live up to your end. I believe he should get a bonus for every time he takes a customer from another company.

Joshua came out and was super friendly and did a great job. He listened to the bug issues I have been having and sprayed accordingly. I loved that he called to give a hour heads up so I had time to get all my animals put up.

Joe did an exceptional job! He went to each area mentioned and double checked prior to leaving. We are very much satisfied with his performance. We are pleased to have him in our home taking care of our home general bug prevention on a bi-monthly basis. He also took care of webs that we haven’t had the opportunity to remove due to high ceilings.

Matt was our technician and he was Excellent! He called first to let me know he was on our property and ready to begin service outside first. We’ve had a huge problem with wasps making nests in our eves and a horrible time with mosquitoes. Matt addressed both problems without issue. Once he was inside our home he was extremely personable and let me know how bad our wasps issue was and that he knocked down over 10 large nests. He also pointed out that the tree in the front yard is hanging over and touching the roof, he suggested we might consider having it trimmed back because of the possibility of rodents having easy access to the roof and entering the attic/house. That really caught my attention and I will definitely have that taken care of asap!! We’ve continued to see these little white spiders inside and he took care off those and sprayed the interior baseboards for all typical household bugs etc.. I really appreciated how informative, thorough and friendly Matt was. He is a true asset to Official Pest Prevention. Thanks Matt!

Bee went above and beyond for our initial pest control service! He spent his time making sure to address every concern and problem area that we had. He even cleaned spiderwebs off of our house. He explained what he would be doing prior to his arrival and made sure to close the gate properly behind him. I’m so glad I went with this company. The office staff was great too!

We paid 1 thousand dollars for rodent exclusion and extermination on our property and this company did a cheap and lazy job. They covered the entry points with cheap and flimsy chicken wire and only a few weeks later the rodents have torn it down again. They also missed a huge hole on the side of our house in which rodents were, and the hole was not even hidden, it was obvious. All they really did was put down a few basic mouse traps which you can easily do yourself. Don’t hire them, you could easily DIY for a fraction of the absurd price they charge.

We had reached out to Official Pest Prevention last October about a bedbug problem in our home. They came around November and did a «Heat Treatment» on our home. Not only did the driver arrive 8 HOURS LATE, the problem had returned after a few weeks. We also had to move everything out of our home to allow them to get this done. We had reached out again on April of 2026, and they tried to charge us $1500 more for another visit. We spoke to a very helpful worker named Mark, who said an inspection should have been done prior to the first treatment; it had not. So he was able to get a liquid treatment done for us on June 8th. We were promised a 3 hour session, and the technician only came for 1 which told us he was not very thorough. We were also told we’d be having mattress encasements installed for each of our beds. Not only are we out $5000 that we paid upfront to this company, but we are still dealing with this terrible situation. We are beyond frustrated, and wanted to share our experience(s) with this establishment.

Our technician was very detailed in explaining how our first service would go along with upcoming service. He explained the importance of what to expect and if we had any questions to let him know. Very professional yes one would say well that’s what they should be providing but it’s a step further when you feel that honest family vibe from TruBug. Thank we look forward to having you taking care of our homes. Brett was fantastic our homes are in your hands!!

First time using service and everyone in company has been not only helpful and explained everything perfectly but so friendly and patient with all my questions. Starting from Josh to Natalie to Brett who just left my house. Brett was very thorough with his explanation of what he was servicing and very pleasant to explain it all. I was concerned of some wasp nests and he put me at ease. Thank you for such an incredible pleasant experience.

Great company with outstanding customer service! Brett was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explained everything clearly, and made me feel confident in my decision. The whole experience was smooth and professional. I highly recommend this company and appreciate Brett for going above and beyond!

Aaron did an excellent job ensuring our home was thoroughly covered and protected. He was professional, friendly, and very personable throughout the entire visit. We appreciated his attention to detail and great customer service. Highly recommend!

Brett did a great job! He communicated what he would be doing and addressed my whole property. Let me know if anything else was needed before next scheduled service to give them a call.

He’s awesome! Very caring, punctual, professional, great advice, great customer service. Anthony always leaves my house bug free and clean!! I highly recommend !

An amazing experience all throughout the whole process from the initial phone call to finding the right package, to the techs first visit. Both Breanna and John showed great customer service and knew exactly what we needed to help our problem

Manuel and his partner showed up in time. Respected my home, educated me on the termite issues we had, and answered my questions with patience and wisdom. The work was done very professionally and with care. Will recommend and use them again in the future!

Consummate professional. Darrin is calm, courteous and thorough. He takes the time to answer any questions and offers advice on the concerns I have. He goes about his work, on time, and complete.

Im glad everyone else had a great experience because mine has been absolutely horrible. I originally inquired about services with specific requests; to be able to be home while service was provided, and to use a product safe due to my allergies. I was promised both for $45 and month. Ive had 3 sprays and issues from the VERY START. My techs requested me to leave for 2-4 hours, even after I was told this product was «used in hospitals around patients». So, last minute, I had my daughter, my dog, and my disabled aunt trying to find somewhere for us all to go for 2-4 hours. I called to express my frustrations and was told that the techs can spray while we are home, they just do not like too. My next appointment i was given a hard time about leaving AGAIN. I let him know that I only accepted this service for the reasons I explained, and then I asked him «do you just not want people home while you provide your service» and he shook his head YES and blamed it on the «fumes». So I requested the herbal spray with no harsh fumes. He sprayed and left. The next visit, I was at work at the tech pulled the same game on my gma and did not spray in my apt. That same day I called to complain and was told this would be resolved. Upon getting a call from a manager Bill who said he talked with the tech. The information provided to the manager was a BLATANT lie to cover himself. This made me furious at this point & I just wanted to be done with everything, so I called to cancel. I spoke with Helene who at that time advised that the $45 a month is actually $90 dollars a month (thats probably in the fine print) because they only mention $45 OTP and at signing. So I paid for my previous service. Helene and Bill both told me I would not be charged for the service I was not happy with, especially since he did not even spray inside. But guess what…. I was charged. This has been a terrible experience and I HIGHLY dispute being charged after my account was already closed, for a botched service

Leland did an excellent job re-treating my yard areas for spiders. I was impressed that he arrived around 5:45 PM at the end of the day, still working hard. He did a thorough inspection and was here for approximately 30 minutes not only sweeping away spiderwebs, but treating the front, sides and backyard thoroughly. He was very professional and explained the whole process to me, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend him again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend! Very professional, honest, and responsive. Showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and took care of the pest issue quickly and thoroughly. You can tell he really cares about his customers and takes pride in his work. Fair pricing, great communication, and excellent service overall. If you need pest control in Escondido, this is the guy to call!

Daniel was out today to chase away any uninvited guests. Super friendly, helpful and personable. While some «guests» remain on the uninvited list, Daniel is most definitely not anywhere on that list. He’s VIP!

We had a great experience with this company! Andrew came out today for a warranty service visit and was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful. He even helped kill all the spiders in our garage. Truly appreciated his kindness and attention to detail. Highly recommend this company!

Arturo was exceptional from start to finish. He took the time to thoroughly explain every step of his inspection process and detailed exactly what treatment methods he would use and why. Every question I had was answered patiently and clearly, leaving me feeling informed and confident in the service. His professionalism and attention to detail set him apart from typical service providers. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest, thorough pest control work.»

Andrew was our technician today and he was great. I had a lot of questions about what products he’d be using for ants and fleas because we have some sensitive areas that can’t have anything harsh on them. Andrew knew exactly what to use and what the effectiveness would be. He let me decide and I appreciated that very much. I wouldn’t have been able to make the informed decisions if he hadn’t been knowledgeable about the products.

Santiago did a great job at our house. We asked him to pay special attention to some of the extra cobwebs around and he took care of it. Very grateful for his efforts.
