Absolutely perfect service, very kind, very professional. Highly recommend! I'll never use anyone else.

I had an issue with a possum in our yard and Joe came out very quickly to take a look and assess the situation. He is terrific and, while he could have easily convinced me to spend money to trap the critter, he did not, and explained what was going on and why trapping probably would be a waste of time. He took a thorough look around the outside of the house and also went into the attic to make sure that the possum was not in the house and that there were no other issues with rodents, etc. I will definitely call him should the need arise in the future and am very comfortable giving him my highest rating!! read more

As these reviews suggest, this is an all or nothing type of business. The owner is a classic charmer who makes you think he's doing you favors; then, he does not complete what has been contractually agreed upon. While he removed raccoons from my wall and allegedly squirrels from my roof, he never filled any holes, so other animals re-entered and caused further damage. Four months have gone by without hole being filled. Now I have to gut my entire attic because it is absolutely infested with rats who entered the holes. The damage from recent animals has been confirmed by a third party. I have struggled to get a refund for work never completed. I should be refunded for work that was not done. I am a single woman in her 40s, and this is my nightmare: being taken advantage of by someone performing a service on my home about which I know nothing. Nightmare! Beware! read more

Horrible experience. Joe came to do an assessment and was very friendly and great, however; when it came time to actually complete the work, he disappeared. He scheduled and day/time with me but no showed then texted me with excuses. I was friendly and understanding because I wanted him to complete the work asap due to the extent of it. We rescheduled but this time after no showing, he did not contact me at all. And has not gotten back in contact with me since. That was may 2025 and it is September 2025. I obviously had to go with a different company who got the work done, but I just do not understand where the breakdown was. If he was unable or unwilling to complete the work, he should have told me. I waited and wasted time hoping he would call me back. I have never dealt with a professional business that conducted businees this way. This was the most unprofessional business I have ever dealt with. It was handled so horribly and I would never recommend anyone to enter into business with the company because of the disrespectful way they treat customers. read more

I called All Around Animal Control on Friday and spoke with a technician. I gave him all the required information and he agreed to be at my home on Saturday at 8:00 AM. He never showed up. I left several messages on voice mail on Saturday and they NEVER called back. I called again on Monday and left more voicemails. They never responded. I sent them a text message using the form on their website. They never responded. This has been a complete waste of time. Try someone else! read more

Joseph & All Around Pest Control was great! We were able to get an appointment the next day. Joseph showed on-time, did a thorough search of the house to identify problem areas, and explained what we needed to do in order to potentially resolve our pest issue BEFORE he got started with baiting (and billing me!). I will be using AAPC for all my future pest control needs! read more

I absolutely love Joe and this company. I had a bad inspection when I purchased my house -- long story, but the inspector was IN the house when I arrived that day, I looked up there while he was in it, and he passed it as "fine." It wasn't. Two outrageous estimates later, All Around Animal Control came out and Joe and his team found a long-term and active rat and squirrel infestation, AND the superhighways allowing access to them all. None of the edges of my roof overhang were closed off. All Around Animal Control removed every speck of insulation and rodent remnants, sanitized the attic, installed new insulation, and sealed off every opening around my house for $1000 less than the other companies that didn't find the openings that Joe did. It took four workers three days to do it in sweltering heat, but not one complaint from any of them, and they did a fabulous job. Today Joe came out all the way from Elizabeth City to check on a rat I saw peeking out from my outdoor shower a couple of times recently. Thankfully Mr. Whiskers appears to just have been stopping by, not moving in, but Joe wouldn't even charge me for his time. Definitely my company for problems like this, and I highly recommend them. read more

I called Joe to come remove squirrels from my roof. On the day he was supposed to arrive, we received a voicemail that he had a sick child. Ok, things happen, I have children, and can understand. He rescheduled for the next morning. Next morning comes around and we get a text that he was running late. He finally came out and looked at our roof from the ground, but never went up to assess the actual problem. This was on Friday, he said he doesn't work on weekends and would be back first thing Monday morning. Monday morning and Joe never called or showed up. We text him to see what the deal was, and he said his truck was broken into and was waiting for the glass repair company. Waited all day for a call or text back that he had to reschedule, but no surprise here, we got no communication from Joe. I called again, he acted like he didn't need our business and said it's fine if we want to call another service. Is this a string of bad luck, or just how he handles his business? I expected him to keep his appointment or at the very least he should have called us. I should not have to keep after him like one of my children. Update: after I posted this review, Joe called my husband and harassed him to remove the review. He never admitted to his poor business practices or offered to make the situation right. read more

Joseph Martinez was incredibly professional and honest with me. I feel his integrity is well above par and his work ethic commendable. I called Joseph because I had a dead rodent in my crawl space. The odor from this rotting and decaying rodent was permeating my Master Bedroom. I had three different contractors come to the house to locate the dead rodent. The dead rodent was "undiscoverable" by Terminix, Universal Pest & Termite and Smiley's. HOWEVER, Joseph found it inside of 10 minutes!!! He indicated it was in a difficult to reach location, but it was in plain view. Unlike the three previous contractors, Joseph suggested a total clean out and replacement of ALL of my insulation (the other contractors only recommended removing the 'contaminated' insulation) and a replacement of my vapor barrier. We also agreed for him to install new crawl space vents and he will be sealing up any other potential voids which the rodents could penetrate. His price was very competitive and wasn't anywhere as expensive as the previously mentioned contractors. Moveover, he came up with a game plan in terms of baiting and trapping any other rodents that might be hiding and otherwise trapped in my crawl space going forward. Both Terminix and Universal only suggested baiting and did not offer trapping. Baiting only results in more dead and decaying rodents in your crawl space. Hire Joseph first! Don't waste your time with pest control companies which do not do animal recovery and simply want to upsell you a $10-$15,000 crawl space rehab. read more

Awesome job Joe. Really appreciate the work you did to remove the raccoon from our home and secure the area to make sure they did not return. read more

A very frustrating disappointment. After cancelling on me one day and rescheduling, they notify me they are on their way so I can leave work early to meet them. Half an hour after telling me they would be there, called to tell me they were leaving. They called to tell me how frustrating it was to be stood up and they were out of time and had to turn in the van. If you believe their story, they were waiting outside the wrong house without giving me a phone call they were there until the end of their day. I left work early to meet them and they were mad at me. Their lack of professionalism was not worth a second try. read more

Was very friendly and offered free advice over the phone. Never once did Joseph seem eager to cut the conversation short. Only intent on helping the best he could. I am trying to remove a lizard from my house and he was very helpful. read more

Had a rodent/squirrel issue in the attic. Needed problem fixed immediately as I had new tenants moving in that week. All Around came by and gave me an absurd quote of over $6,000 to alleviate problem. Decided to call another contractor I had used in the past and he laid the bait, cleaned the attic of droppings and sealed the area to prevent future unwanted visitors from entering the attic. All in one day and for under $500. Bottom line, I think All Around Animal Control should is a rip off. read more

We have worked with 3 different critter companies over the last 3 years and All Around Animal Control is by far the best. We were most impressed with Joseph's knowledge in the area of prevention. He was very responsive and always available for questions. He explained his process step-by-step, told us what to expect and over what period of time. We highly recommend All Around Animal Control and will call Joseph for any future issues! read more

Be careful with this company if you're a single woman! They will take advantage of you. Joseph Martinez, the owner, came to my house to review a pest issue. He seemed very polite and agreed to complete the task within a few days. I signed a $4,647.00 agreement and paid 50% down. We began the work immediately the first week of November 2017. After 8 weeks (New Years Eve!), I noticed trash bags lined up along the outside of my house in an area I do not frequently walk by. Joseph's team had left dozens of trash bags full of insulation outside my house in the elements to rot the wood on the side of my house. He quickly removed them the next day after I called to complain, stating he did not know the bags were there. He promised to replace the insulation in days. After stating the job was complete -- in March! -- I soon found out that the work had not been done as Joseph promised. The company that referred All Around Pest to me (Fox Pest, who is great by the way and highly recommended) offered to come out to confirm work had been completed since it was under my house in the crawl space, and it had not. This means that my house was uninsulated from November to March -- all winter! Imagine my heating bills! Since then, Joseph has offered to refund me the money I paid him, but now refuses to return my emails, texts, etc. I later learned that Joseph is not a pest contractor at all, and only has a handyman license! This is the worst contractor experience I have ever had! Do not let this man or anyone from his company near your house! read more
