Wish I could give these guys 6 stars! We recently moved into a house in Irvine and have had a terrible ant problem and no matter what we tried, we could not get rid of them. In fact, they seemed to always come back stronger! After being gone a couple days I returned to find our whole kitchen bombarded by them once again so I decided enough is enough and scoured Yelp and found these guys and I am so glad I did. A technician came out the next day and assessed the issue and went to work. Gave me some pointers and guaranteed the ants would be gone after a couple of days and sure enough, I haven't seen a single ant since. So awesome! He also saw some wasp nests in our eaves and asked if we wanted help getting those down and I quickly agreed as we have a young daughter always curious about insects. Would highly recommend these guys, it was money so well spent! read more

We have been customers of Bite The Dust Pest Control for over six years now. We have never been happier with their services.

Alex from 'Bite the Dust' was very friendly, professional and diligent about treating the termite colony on the marked spots after the inspection! He was knowledgeable and had a great acumen to point out other issues that no other tech had offered. He also offered a free ant treatment around the house that will keep ants away for 6 months! Bravo! The owner of the business, Maria, was also very knowledgeable about the issue, kind and was following up diligently. It's an upcoming local business and I would like to give my future contracts to BtD instead of a corporate entity. read more

I am very pleased with the service provided by this company. I had some ants issues inside the house and decided to get a few quotes. Maria responded back promptly and the quote was definitely very reasonable. She stopped by just a few days later to provide treatment and also followed up later to ensure the eradication of these ants. A few weeks have passed and I don't see a single ant inside the house. Definitely a small business worth supporting. read more

Maria responded quickly, kindly and efficiently to my need for a next day visit dt a major overwhelming ant invasion. She was very knowledgeable and I was confident that the job would be done well. She worked efficiently and was able to answer all of my concerns about toxicity for my grandchildren and my cat. She asked me about fruits and vegetables I have growing and was able to work around those areas safely. I have full confidence in her work, especially with the 6 month guarantee. Highly recommend. read more

I called and left a voicemail asking about ant extermination services today at 8:43am and got a call back at 8:51am. I explained to Maria that we were struggling with constant ant intrusions in our dining and kitchen areas, and seeing scouts looking elsewhere for water, and she had two technicians out to my home by 11:30am. One tech sprayed the outside of my home and the other put some treatments in the cracks of my baseboards and around sinks. Treatment was very fast and efficient. The technician who entered my home was respectful, pleasant, and quick! They came during nap time for my 8 month old and he was quiet enough that my baby didn't stir while he worked in the bathroom off of the bedroom baby was sleeping in. The entire treatment was done in about half an hour and while I can't yet speak to the efficacy of the treatment, their 10 month service guarantee certainly has me feeling very confident! I'll admit, I was a little skeptical of this yelp page having exclusively five star reviews, but having experienced their services, I can definitely understand it! I am so pleased to have gone with Bite the Dust Pest Control and will be recommending them to anybody I know who needs pest control services! read more

I honestly can't recommend Bite the Dust Pest Control enough. Last summer, I had a massive ant infestation and every other company I called tried to lock me into a long-term contract with quarterly sprays. Their one-time fees were way too high and didn't even come with a warranty. Then I found Maria. She was a total breath of fresh air--she offered me a one-time service at a great price and even included a 6-month warranty. Her crew came out and did a perimeter spray and treated the baseboards inside with stuff that's safe for pets, which was a huge relief. The treatment worked perfectly. I didn't see a single ant for eight months. I just called them back out for a preventative spray, and Maria was able to get them here the same day for the exact same price as last year. If you want someone who is fair, fast, and actually gets the job done without the high-pressure sales tactics, call Maria. They're the best! read more

I know that I'm repeating a lot of what others having been saying, but Bite the Dust Pest Control truly goes above and beyond to attack your pest issues and to do it right. They came in June to spray our home for cockroaches. For a good while after that, there were no cockroaches or issues. We ended up seeing one over a month later and, like they say in their guarantee, they came back and retreated the area where we saw the cockroach. Omar was respectful, efficient, and professional. They got the job done and Maria is beyond responsive to each and every message. They truly work hard at earning your business. I hope we don't have any issues when it gets hot next summer, but if we do I'll know who to reach out to. Maria and Bite the Dust Pest Control are truly wonderful-!! read more

I don't see bugs anymore . They spray outside by default and inside as needed for no extra charge, they dropped this

Over the summer, Argentine ants set up a base camp at our home. Our counters were clean, there was no food left out, yet they continued marching across our kitchen and bathrooms. We tried liquid ant baits to no avail. I scoured Yelp and found Clean Cut Termite (aka Bite the Dust). Omar treated our home, inside and out, with pet-safe products. This was a must since we have three curious cats. The cost was more than reasonable and there's a 10-month guarantee. We're hopeful that we don't see any more ants for a long while! read more

I thought I had ant infestation by my front door and I reached out to three different companies. Maria responded right away to my call and was there two hours later. She's very professional and took care of the bugs right away. She explained that they were not ants but plant bugs.. And didn't charge me lot as the other companies suggested. She's Honest, reliable and on time. Thank you so much for making it easy and explaining that these were not harmful bugs and sprayed outside and inside the house. I would have given her ten stars for making it easy and affordable. Thanks again read more

Bite the Dust helped solve the bug problem in our home after we moved in. The previous owners didn't mention any bug problems, but they came out a few months after we moved in. Bite the Dust was professional and easy to work with. Big problem solved! read more

We cannot say enough about Bite The Dust!!! Maria stayed with us back and forth until very late evening to answer.our questions & concerns. On the day of our treatment, Alex came and explained once again the way our home would be treated. We live on a ant hill & was quite skeptical that this would work. However it has been a full week since our treatment was completed and not a sign of ants anywhere!! Thank you so very much and we have already given your informations to several friends & family. Once again thank you 1,000+ for your professional and thoughtful assistance during a very horrible situation. Mickie & Donna Corona CA read more

Nothing says "welcome to your new home" like... a full-blown ant colony. When my contractor first sent me the video, I nearly cried--because bugs and I are sworn enemies, and this was not part of the dream-home package I signed up for. Enter Bite the Dust Pest Control. I called in a panic, and they showed up with lightning speed--the very next day. Alex, my technician, was fantastic. He not only found the colony but also traced the problem back to my orange tree (apparently a five-star buffet for ants). He treated the area, gave me a crash course in prevention, and even reassured me that it wasn't as apocalyptic as it felt in the moment. Weeks later? Still no ants. The price was refreshingly affordable, they left me with extra bait just in case, and I walked away with both peace of mind and my sanity intact. Highly recommend Alex and Bite the Dust if you want fast, thorough, and genuinely helpful pest control. read more

I had the one-time ant extermination done five days ago. Since then, I have seen exactly one ant. I have used Bite the Dust or its sister company Clean Cut Termites once a year for the last several years. The service is quick (about 30 minutes), reasonably priced ($175), and offers a six-month guarantee (which I have never needed). They respond to my requests quickly, and are able to do the service within a few days. Highly recommend! read more

Honestly I want to gate keep this place. They do an awesome job. Professional, timely, and actually get rid of ants. Great value and good people. We had a carpenter any colony starting to form. I texted Maria and she was able to send Alex out the next day. Easy to make an appt and he was very thorough in his work. He answered all of our questions too. read more

If you have an ant problem, don't waste time trying to fix it yourself with store-bought bait or home remedies--call Bite the Dust! I spoke with Theresa, the owner, and although she didn't have a technician available, she personally came out to my house. She spent about an hour treating problem areas inside and spraying the outside perimeter. The results were immediate--every ant was gone by the next morning and has stayed gone since 9/22/25. Theresa was friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. I really appreciated her thoroughness and personal touch. I would definitely use Bite the Dust again and highly recommend them to anyone dealing with ants. read more

Bite the Dust Pest Control is the best! This is the second time we've used them for ants and we are very pleased with their communication and service. Alex was on time and texted to let us know when he'd be there. He sprayed inside and out for one low price and did not require us to sign up for a service like most pest control companies do. He mentioned he takes care of bees too so we will be calling them next time we find a hive in our backyard and for any other pests we come across! read more

Very professional, EFFECTIVE and polite!!! I was battling ants all summer and spent SO many hours and dollars trying to deal with them myself. Every product I had been using effectively in the past wasn't working as it had. Either the products are being diluted or the ants are smarter? Either way, I am so thankful to have Bite The Dust Pest Control in my phone contacts! Totally worth calling!!! read more

Maria, the owner of Bite the Dust, came out to treat my ant problem both inside and outside the house. She was incredibly thorough, professional, and friendly throughout the process. I appreciated her attention to detail and how comprehensively she addressed the issue. I highly recommend her services--and hopefully, I won't need to see her again for another year (no offense, Maria)! read more

I am so grateful for the Bite the Dust crew. Maria and the team have been understanding, dependable, and most of all exceptional with their customer service. I have been having issues with ants on and off since August. Every time I've called, they have honored the guarantee and are willing to help. Bite the Dust is really coming through. I definitely recommend their services to anyone that needs assistance with pest control. Will be recommending to family & friends. read more

This is a long overdue gratitude note to Maria for always being on top of her game. Not only is she consistently providing us with top notch service to keep the pesky ants away from my home (mind you, we live on top of an ant hill!), she is empathetic to our needs when I call her in panic. Thank you for continued expert service!! read more

Every year we get some ants in the house, but a quick trip to home depot for some insect spray and bait and we're in good shape. I don't know what changed this year, but these ants were just hell bent on getting into our house. They made it into every room in the house. Every time we'd clean things up in one spot, they'd find another hole to come out of. I must've sprayed around the house half a dozen times. I called several pest control companies, but they were expensive, and with only a 30-day guarantee being the standard it really pushes you towards the monthly/quarterly plan, which is even more expensive. And then I found Bite The Dust. Reasonable pricing, professional, and communicative. The technicians showed up on time, explained the process, and were really polite and efficient around our home. We're now three days after service and finally no ants! I'm kicking myself for not calling sooner and saving myself literally hours of fighting with those critters. I'll definitely be calling them every year from now on. read more

We needed service for ants. Called and spoke with Maria. We needed service in the afternoon since we are having some work done at our house so couldn't have it done while the workers are there. She promptly came by about an hour later. Amazing service! You can tell Maria cares about her customers and goes above and beyond. We will definitely be using her company again. Thank you Maria!!! read more

Really excellent service overall. Would highly recommend them. They are prompt and generally very responsive.

We were so pleased the service provided by the Bite the Dust Pest Control team that we switched from the service provider we had for 20+ years. We had been inundated with ants throughout our home and had spent countless hours cleaning which really didn't do much to resolve the problem. We had received the recommendation to Bite the Dues Pest Control from another Yelp service we had used and they were able to come our for us next day. Within 24 hours, our an problem was completely gone and I have not seen one since. We are now very delighted Bit the Dust Pest Control clients. read more

I had a very big ant problem and after exhausting all home remedies, I finally decided to hand it over to the pros. I went with Bite the Dust Pest Control because of their positive reviews and Maria's fast response time. Omar was the first tech to come out and treat my home. He de-webbed the exterior of my house, sprayed the perimeter and then put some bait(?) on the inside of the house. Since the first visit, I have not even seen one ant!! Alex came to do the second treatment and did a fantastic job as well! Both were super knowledgeable, efficient and professional. I had some questions for other pests such as spiders and mosquitos and luckily they treat them as well. Very happy with the results and the amazing service. Thanks guys! read more

I reached out to Bite the Dust Pest Control early in the morning as I had an ant problem that needed immediate attention. I was very surprised that Maria, the owner, got back to me right away. I talking before 7 am! She was extremely knowledgable and made arrangements to be out at my house that same afternoon. Maria stayed in constant communication with me, and was at my house exactly when she said she would be. She treated the inside and outside of the house for ants, and other critters, and explained everything very thoroughly. She gave a 6-month guarantee of her work and told us to expect the ants to be gone in a couple days, if not sooner. By that evening, there were no ants to be found! Maria even went above and beyond by calling a week after to ensure that everything was good. I highly recommend Mara and Bite the Dust Pest Control! read more

Maria was absolutely amazing! She is very sweet & knowledgeable in her field. Communication/response to my initial request was immediate & she was able to come out to service my home the next day. The price point is extremely reasonable & i would recommend her company 10x over and over again. read more

This is a phenomenal locally owned business: no chains, franchises, or red tape. I needed Terminix out same day and the soonest they could give me was four days out. BTD came out same day on a Saturday! The owner showed up themself! We had an ant problem and they took care of them in one go. They are a family-owned business. They offer a six-month guarantee on treatments. I spoke with the owner directly which gives me peace of mind that they will always aim to please the customer. read more

Maria was so responsive and able to help me same-day with my ant problem. $175 to treat indoor and outdoor with a 10 month guarantee was an insanely good deal so I went with her services. I feel like with deals, people tend to be skeptical of the quality/results, but I have seen NO ants since she treated the house. Would 1000% recommend BTD to everyone and anyone looking for pest control. read more

These guys did an awesome job for us in getting rid of all the ants in our house! We especially appreciated the eco-friendly method which safeguarded our brand new kittens! They sprayed the outside of the house and just sprayed little corners of our house inside where we couldn't even see them. Within a day or so, ants are GONE!! And the price was the lowest of about 5 others we checked. Communication was also great. Thanks!! read more

So fast, friendly, and an amazing value! Maria was responsive right away. We were at our wits' end with our ant problem at 11pm, and she made time for us first thing the next morning. She got right to work, answered all our questions about safety for our pets and baby, and the treatment was done in half an hour. The summer promotion she's offering is the best deal I've found anywhere, and with the 6 month guarantee can't be beat. It's a huge weight off our shoulders this intense ant season. Cannot recommend this gem more! read more

They were super professional and responsive. They showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and took care of the problem quickly. Highly recommend! read more

Bite the dust and Maria were amazing. I have had ant problems but nothing Luke what we experienced this past summer. Every trap and poison we tried did not work. It seemed like an infestation. After fiding bite the dust....they had the most reasonable rates (off a yelp request for quote) and quickest time to appear to take a look. We were sold. She treated the house in less than an hour (inside and out) and we noticed the difference right away. I posted this late and true to her word we have not had a problem and it's been maybe 2 months. I believe we will use their treatment before every summer now. Also, Maria as owner is super professional and quite an inspiration as how she started this business. Pls continue to support businesses like hers and I would definitely use her services again. read more

I live in Irvine which is basically a giant anthill. We have dealt with ants year round since we moved in 5+ years ago. It is usually more manageable during the winter, but this year after the heavy rains we had a terrible infestation in our home. Nothing that used to work worked. Terro baits failed, granules and sprays outside around the perimeter all failed. I was at my wits end one Friday night and finally decided to reach out to exterminators. I messaged Bite The Dust late on Friday night and Maria came the very next day. She made an effort to squeeze me into her Saturday schedule and I really appreciated her. When you have been dealing with an ant problem for a long time it really starts to stress you out. I am so thankful Maria came quickly. Maria wore shoe covers and walked around our home, she used a special ant gel that she explained will completely dry clear in about two weeks. She instructed us not to kill any ants and to allow them to bring the poison back to their nest. She then sprayed the perimeter of our home. She let us know that we may still see ants inside the home for 2-3 more days. I know we had a terrible infestation and it ended up taking a few extra days. Now my home is free of ants, haven't seen a single one in weeks. We paid for the 10 month guarantee. There really is no price for peace of mind. read more

Very good communication from the start. Great pricing and very thorough service. I requested a 1 time treatment for the outside of my home for spiders. Was able to get service on a Saturday. Alex took his time thoroughly treating the house and was mindful about any potential edible plants to avoid. Thank you for the great service! read more

Excellent professional service. Really get the job done in timely manner as promised with full transparency and extreme care!

Great customer service, very pleasant and did a great job would use again. Zelle payment is a plus.

I contacted Maria on Saturday because after a bit more than a year we started to have ants again and by Saturday there was a stream already. Maria was amazing and schedule a technician to come on Monday morning asap sing we were about to leave for a trip. Alex, showed up on time and was professional and quick to take care of the situation. Now we can leave with a peaceful mind. Thank you. read more
