Shout out to Dave! He goes above and beyond. He's patient, helpful and answers all my questions.

Update: After posting this we were able to get in touch with the branch manager and he seemed apologetic and professional. He came out and sprayed our home and yard perimeter. It has been a little less than a week but we have had no bugs. We are happy to finally get the service we paid for. Generally bad service and bad service rep. We moved into a house with a large yard and needed bug control. I called Dewey and asked if they spray the yard parameters well as the inside and outside of the house and I was assured they would. The service rep said they do not and he did not treat the yard parameter. During the next few months, we needed to call them back for bugs in the house and large black widows on the patio furniture next to the house door. When telling the service rep we still see bugs in the house he told us it's ok as long as they are dead bugs in the doors and counters. NOT ACCEPTABLE. We recently told him we are still getting bugs in the house and he became irate and started arguing so we closed the door as we told him to not come back. read more

Dewey Pest & Termite Control - Black widow from patio furniture. - Pest Control Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I was a big fan of Dewey for a while but the last couple months things really really went downhill and I'm not sure what happened. I got a new technician and he seemed nice enough but after my last service I noticed that my patio was covered with spiders and webs. I called Dewey and asked them to come out for another service and explained the issue, they sent the tech out. Seemed like he was here for a really short amount of time and I noticed some of the webs I had mentioned in my phone call were still there, untouched. Spiders all over the patio remained so I called a few weeks later and requested another service. The tech called me to schedule and I explained in detail my issue and gave specific locations I wanted taken care of. The tech came, seemed like a short visit again and yet again webs remained and spiders all over, black widows to be specific and a couple other assorted spiders. I was done after that, I moved to another company and after one service I haven't seen a spider or web on my patio in 5 days. I don't know what happened to Dewey but it's disappointing, I hope they can get back on track and provide the service I used to get from them. read more

Don't do it, keep looking. A new tech every time and none of them can clean spiderwebs. Just hurry hurry hurry. Paying a Premium Price.For a very low quality service. Called to speak to the manager and he NEVER returns my call. Company has just enough time to collect the payment and that's it. read more

I had a huge bug problem during the summer. I told them about the situation and they took care of it from the exterior to the interior of my home. Since then I've haven't seen those stupid, ugly, annoying things since. read more

Mike is amazing at Cambridge Village! He makes sure to spray thoroughly in each unit needed treatment along with informing the tenants of the chemicals and how to counteract pest issues. We greatly appreciate him here in Bakersfield and recommend him for services. read more

Michael our service provider is awesome!! He's thorough fast and courteous he's great

Jeffrey was amazing, took the time to explain everything that he going to do, and everything he did when he done! I am very happy to be apart of the Dewey family!! Which is what I felt like when he was done! read more

I've read some poor reviews about Dewey here, and I don't understand them. First off, the team at this office are stand-up people. They not only navigated the rat & cockroach problem I was having, but they were no-nonsense and straight forward about the issues. They let me know that my property manager was cutting corners with contractor fixes (hello Frontier Property Management). And when another local company couldn't stop the pest problem, Dewey came in and CLEANED HOUSE. read more

Stay away from Dewey Bakersfield, who has a tendency to lose keys and not provide service. They charge your account on time even when the service is not being provided. Since we started using their services, we have given them the benefit of the doubt regarding why we don't see any services being provided. When they do show up, we get a note saying to call for service as they are unable to enter the backyard. We have already replaced our gate lock three times and had to issue new keys to our pool guy, gardener, and Dewey technicians because the technicians keep losing our keys. To make matters worse, they informed us via text that the previous technician who had our keys no longer works with the company and has taken our keys. As homeowners, how would you feel if a complete stranger has your keys, and now you have to change your locks and add additional security measures because Dewey failed to keep your keys secure? As a large company, I do not expect such unprofessional behavior and endangering our safety by not keeping our keys secure. Back in December I had to give another replacement key and now I received another text message letting us know that the technician who worked for them took the keys and that they never had our keys in their office. I spoke to a supervisor back in December and he assured me that all technicians have to drop off the keys at his office, he clearly lied to me as I'm encountering the same problem again. I decided to cancel their services and inform prospective clients or current to take your business elsewhere, with a company that will care about your business and keep your home safe. Please take a look at some of the texts we received. They are still asking for the keys and to leave the gate unlocked, even though we have provided the key since the beginning. We do not have any pets or anything that could prevent them from entering. read more

I replaced Orkin with Dewey for pest control services. The value was great but the quality paid the price. The area I live in is notorious worth red ants. After a couple of months of services, I started seeing red ants in the house. Followed by flies and mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are an additional fee whereas Orkin included mosquitoes, wasps, and flies with their standard pest control services. read more

We have Dewey's now for 4-5 years I believe. The tech texts or calls us to let us know that he will be coming out the next day. This is awesome. It gives you a chance to ask questions or bring up any concerns. read more

After 12 years of service we had to switch. Our original service person left and we have had several since. Over the past few months we noticed more bugs and more spider webs. We called to voice our displeasure and was told our service provider was no longer employed there and a manager would call. The manager never called so over a week later we called another company to come out. We called to cancel and they said we needed to give a 30 day notice and they could send someone that day to do a service. Too late. They had also just raised our rates. Less service, higher rates. read more

Absolutely terrible, they literally didn't help at all, missed several appointments, and then when I tried to cancel said it wasn't allowed since I signed a 12 month contract so they would need to fulfill the contract or I need to pay them 300 dollars. DO NOT USE THEM!!!! read more

We used these guys for pest services for a while. Then we had them fumigate the house. They tented our courtyard after agreeing not to, then refused to pay for any damages to all of the plants. Small claims court was wild. They basically said, yes, we weren't supposed to fumigate the courtyard but we have a clause in our contract that holds us harmless for damage to plants, so too bad. Our bad for not reading it thoroughly. Don't sign their agreements. At least we moved on and got a MUCH better pest service. read more

Dewey's is the worst! And their billing sucks, they sent me to collections on a bill that was paid. And I have proof! Trust me you don't want to deal with this company. And half the time they wouldn't show up for service, had to call several times. They don't even deserve one star! read more

Great service! Our regular technician Ralph is awesome! Very approachable, professional, thorough and considerate. Even when it's ungodly hot outside, he takes time to say hi to my family and patiently answers my little kiddos unending plethora of questions and gives great advice. He even has befriended my crazy territorial GSD with treats when he's done. He always calls the day before he arrives to allow us to prepare for his arrival. Every person I've dealt with has been nothing but professional and comfortable to be around. In my experience, they have a great staff. read more

Ralph has been our bug man for over a year now. He started us up when we first moved in and got our home into shape. He is very knowledgeable and provides information about bugs per season. We do not have any problems indoor and outdoor. He annihilated our problem when we first moved in and we haven't had any problems since. We are grateful for his reliability, always calls to schedule when due, is courteous and efficient. We know we can call him if there are any problems. read more

When I first started using their service around two years ago I was very satisfied. Now this bill me, demand payment for services not even rendered. I have been dealing with ants on my own because of the quality of their pest control service. So they bill me every other month $68 regardless if someone has been out or not hmmmmmm?? Because someone used to come out regularly to spray outside and get the cobwebs but I haven't anyone for a loooooong time. But yet they're still demanding payment and threatening to send me to collections. I'm good. I'll find another service that actually shows up. read more

Received excellent service from James today! Not our regular tech, but happy to meet him this time! James mentioned he was filling in for someone today. Arrived on time, he was courteous and professional. He noticed excessive spider webs outside and went above and beyond to clean them! He also sprayed inside and was careful to move rugs out of the spray zone. He really paid attention to detail and knocked down mud-dauber nests. Exceptional service, thanks to James. Happy customer! read more

Michael and Sal have been great! They have been responsive and quick to help us with our pretty bad pest control needs for our business. They go above and beyond and we are always in the loop. In some ways, we feel like their only customer which is impressive when they are such a large company. Thank you for the help! read more

Diego the technician was here last month and did a thorough job. He was very friendly and efficient.

Ask for David smith! He's truly the best. He's always on time, Goes the extra mile, and will ask you if there are any areas that need more attention. We used to have a horrible red ant issue, Black-widow, brown-widow and water bugs! Not anymore!! read more

Been with Dewey for over 4 years now and 2 homes. Our new rep Teresa is amazing! She is thorough, professional and very kind! Since she has been taking care of our home we have no issues and if I ever need additional service.. it's usually the next day! Teresa respects your home and makes sure you are pleased with the services. She has even pulled my trash can from the curb into the side gate. We really appreciate her work and her performance as well as the monthly notes! Thank you again,Teresa! read more

Daniel was very accommodating to the service schedule change. I like to know ahead of time of the service dates to make sure I'm here to let anyone into the backyard. I wasn't able to prevent him arriving when his initial service time was, then I forgot to unlock the gate so he could service the backyard when I went to work, and he ended up servicing the backyard after I got home in the early afternoon on 11/4/22. Plus, he and I are both Dodger fans, so that's an extra plus. GO DODGERS!! read more

This is place is terrible. Not trustworthy at all and they try to get away with stuff thinking we, as the customers are stupid. Lying about coming out to service your property when we cam see them on the camera. Never again!! Switched to Ugotr Pest Control, love them! read more

Ralph is the best, efficient and friendly, I wouldn't use any other pest control company

No thank you there definitely will never be a next time. If you wanted to make things right you definitely could have by reimbursed me for the mosquito system that did nothing. You interviewed your technician and he lied about actually doing service on the mosquito system that's the kind of people that you guys are scammers read more

Horrible service, on multiple occasions had to reschedule appointments 3-4 times and only doing half the work when they would show up. 3 times they had to respray after finding spiders we used them for months, longest headache I've ever endured. read more

Is there a no star review??? If you are willing to pay 68 bucks bi-monthly for services you will never receive until you have black widow eggs in your garage, spider webs all around the inside and outside of your home, and your family wakes up with spider bites then Dewey Pest Control is your to go to Pest company! They are unreliable and when you call them and ask why you are paying for services you are never receiving they will tell you that "it's your technician's responsibility to make the appointments and to make sure they go there" so does that mean the company is just a third party and the technicians are their own business??? Save your money and don't bother getting a quote because you will only get services about 2-4 times the whole contract year!!! read more

Just an update from the response of Dewey. I have never been contacted by anyone at the company. How sad because I really wanted to support a local company. I have since switched to Ugott Pest Control and so far so good. read more

David Smith is the best pest control technician we have used. He calls the night before our appointment, follows through with a call to make sure the issue we were having has been eradicated. Professional, knowledgeable and always prompt, what a blessing... An important factor to look for in pest control services is a treatment guarantee. Dewey guarantees its work, David Smith our service technician returned as often as needed until your bug problem was effectively eliminated. Many exterminators monitor areas that have been treated and make sure pests don't return. read more

Flakey pest control provider that may or may show up to provide services. Be certain however, that you will be billed and expected to pay even if services are not rendered. Sad actually. If you want a pest control service that actually provides services, Dewey is not that way to go. read more

We hired Dewey Pest control to do a termite inspection for a house that we are interested in buying, while in escrow. Jason came out and inspected our future home for termites, water damage, dry rot and anything and everything that could possibly invite termites in. He was diligent and thorough in his inspection, inside the house including the outside structure of the house. He took his time inspecting above and beyond what was expected of him. He was pleasant and patient in explaining what his concerns and findings were. He sent a detailed "Wood Destroying Pests and Organisms Report" that mapped out all his investigation on the house. I would more than highly recommend Dewey Pest control. read more

When I signed up for this service I was basically talked into a quarterly payment plan, which sounded good - wrong! I didn't realize that it also meant that it would only be a quarterly service UNLESS I called to have someone come out. I get busy with so much I don't have time to call for service - I guess my fault! When I sign up for a service I don't what to call to remind them to come out. So far I have paid $255.00 for 3 services. I called to cancel and I would have to pay $199.00 to cancel, or 3 more quarterly services so another $255.00. Just beware of what they are signing you up for. Very disappointed! read more

We like Ralph so much that we followed him when he changed companies and started work at Dewey!

Today we came into the office with ants in the kitchen. Called Dewey and Anthony was here within 30 minutes. He applied a gel and instantly the ants were attracted to it. Anthony is always so helpful and responsive to our needs. read more

It hasn't been a month yet since we switched to Dewey Pest Control and we are already disappointed. My husband had called the sales agent Jared (who said could be reached in case of any problems) BUT no answer nor callback from him. It hasn't been a month yet from they last serviced our home and we had already seen so many insects inside our home that we have never seen nor experienced before when we were with Dan's Pest Control! My husband called their office too but no answer! How I wish we didn't switch to Dewey's and I should've checked their ratings first before we made this decision! read more

My house is three year old. I hired this company for peat due to being spiders in house. They comes every other month to do the spray. After the spray I start seeing more pest in my house and in backyard. I start having gopher problem. I called them to come and clean take care of the the gopher. They said that I have to pay $200.00 to get gopher service. I was willing to pay $200.00 and no body showed up at my place. I called three times and every time they were keep telling that they will come. Anyways due to bad service, I end up canceling my contract with them. Very bad company for pets control. read more

This company is great. I had Ross for many years until He retired. I have Rosie now and she took the time to patiently trace where the ants were coming from. It turns out I have a crack in the foundation and that's where they were coming from. They always call before coming or to see if any new problems have occurred since the last visit. Office staff is very courteous and helpful. read more
