I am giving Rocket Pest a 1 Star review. We hired them to come out to our newly purchased house to…read moretake care of a roach issue. They came out cleaned all the webs from around the house sprayed the outside and inside for bugs and laid poison for the roaches. Didn't quite work the first time and we requested they come out again ( they came out for free), they came out with in days of calling and laid another round of spray and poison down; within a week we had no sighting of bugs in the house , GREAT! Now a month or so later we see a mouse in the garage at first, and after a day or so find evidence of them in our kitchen ; oh boy we gotta get this handled. We were scheduled for pest control to come out for the 3 month service so we waited for our regular guy, he showed up. We informed him of our issue and he said he would have to schedule someone else to come out, we said okay. Two days later another gentleman shows up. He walks around the outside of the house in 4 minutes comes in and looks around the kitchen and walks back to his truck. Then comes back in and hands us a quote of $2400 to change our crawl space foundation vents and extermination because one of them has a small tear in the screen on the bottom. I couldn't believe my ears. Not only does this guy show up and spend a total of 5 minutes "inspecting" in which he has no clue in what he was doing , he then has the audacity to hand a $2400 quote over to me for some foundation crawl space vents we don't even need!!!!! If this clueless salesman would have taken even 10 seconds to look in our crawl space through the door ( undue the latch and swing the door open) he would have seen it is freshly and fully encapsulated from the ceiling to the floor and surround in which the house would not even need the quantity of 10 automatic $35 foundation vents. FYI an encapsulated foundation with humidifier does not need venting. After hearing how Rocket Pest Control was trying to screw us over with a punk salesman on something that we didn't even need in addition to not even being able to treat the problem without charging us an additional charge, we were done. After he left we immediately called to cancel our service with them with a $100 cancellation fee just to bend ya over a little bit more. Every day for 10 days after we canceled our service, we continued to get emails trying to get us to sign and pay for the $2400 job. I am including pictures so you yourself can read through the documents ( look at the service price , Notes, extra monthly fees, and NO GUARANTEE disclaimer), they do great for standard roaches, ants, and spiders but hurt your wallet for no good reason other than to benefit themselves, GOOD LUCK. Ps we were able to get rid of the mice with glue traps and poison.

I got Orkin to do an encapsulation under my house. They call this their dry zone. From day 1 it was…read morea nightmare. The work they did was terrible. The plastic isn't even up against the wall and there is so much tape everywhere. I went under the house the next day and I already had standing water under the house from the dehumidifier leaking so bad. An install guy came out and cut long slits in Al the brand new plastic he put down to get rid of the standing water and left. I went under the house, saw that and called the manager to come out and look at it. He said he would make it right and left. The same install guy came out and took up the plastic and taped down some new pieces. I still wasn't happy but was tired of arguing. I told them I needed a different dehumidifier because I would have the same problem again since it was still leaking bad. They finally said they would change out the dehumidifier. I was so mad I didn't go back under the house until yesterday and there is a lot of standing water and the sump pump isn't working and water is overflowing. I've been trying to get in touch with a manager and nobody will call me back. When it rains again it's just going to get worse because there's nowhere for the water to go. I'm just trying to help someone else not have to deal with this unnecessary headache. Please use someone else for your crawl space issue. They have done horrible work at my house and it keeps getting worse.

We recently had Eric Calabrese from ClearDefense out to our home in Chapin to investigate some…read morescratching sounds and suspected mouse activity. I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment he arrived, Eric was professional, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to walk through every area of concern with us--the kitchen, pantry, laundry room, under the sinks, the garage, and even did a thorough exterior inspection. He didn't just glance around; he got down on his hands and knees, checked voids behind cabinets, examined droppings to determine age and size, and explained exactly what he was seeing. What impressed me most was his honesty and education-first approach. When he found droppings, he showed us the difference between fresh and old ones, pointed out which were from mice versus lizards (skinks) based on the texture and white uric acid tips, and estimated we were dealing with just 2-3 mice rather than a full infestation. That transparency meant a lot. Eric also took the time to explain why we might be having issues--pointing out the gap under our garage door, the back patio door that doesn't always latch properly, and how our proximity to the retention pond increases rodent pressure. Instead of pushing expensive treatments, he prioritized exclusion: sealing entry points, setting snap traps strategically, and following up in two weeks. He even explained why he avoids exterior bait boxes to protect the local cats and wildlife, which showed a genuine care for our property and the surrounding ecosystem. We also discussed ants, flies, termites, and even snakes--Eric answered every question with patience and expertise. He made us feel like partners in the process, not just customers. If you're dealing with pests in the Chapin area, ask for Eric. He's thorough, honest, and clearly passionate about what he does. We're grateful for his help and will absolutely use ClearDefense for any future needs. Thank you, Eric!

From the very first visit, they did a phenomenal job treating both the interior and exterior or our home. My husband and I both felt confident in their thoroughness and attention to detail. Derek returned today for our quarterly service, and once again, he delivered excellent service. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took his time to ensure everything was handled properly. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and that level of care really stands out. I also have to mention Kiana, who handles scheduling, she makes the entire process seamless. She is friendly, responsive, and incredibly accommodating to our bush schedule, which we truly appreciate. Overall, Palmetto Exterminators is reliable, thorough, and professional. We have had nothing but positive experiences and feel confident continuing service with them. Highly recommend to anyone in need of pest control services.
