I hired All in One Pest Eliminators to deal with what appeared to be a skunk living under my house…read morein the Oakland Hills. The skunk was spraying so frequently that the odor had become overwhelming and was actually making its way into my bedroom. Living in the hills, wildlife is simply part of life. Most of the time it's one of the perks of living here. Unfortunately, this particular wildlife situation had become unbearable, so I called in the professionals. OR, what I thought were the professionals... I should have just called a Doberman. I will start by saying that the technicians themselves were professional. Unfortunately, the actual service was a complete failure and complete waste of money. They came out, set a trap, filled it with cat food, covered it with a bag, and instructed me to check it every morning. The problem with that approach is obvious: if the trap actually contained a skunk, the only way to find out was to walk right up to it and look inside. Nothing says "professional wildlife management" quite like asking the homeowner to potentially get skunked. Over the course of the next week, I was repeatedly assured that the bait being used was specifically designed to attract skunks and that possums supposedly weren't interested in it. Yet somehow, the trap managed to catch three possums and exactly zero skunks. ZERO SKUNKS! The skunk that was actually causing the problem remained comfortably under my house, probably laughing at them and apparently completely unimpressed by their "specialized" bait. Meanwhile, the charges kept appearing on my credit card. By the end of this adventure, I was out roughly $700 and left with the exact same problem I started with. Three possums had been trapped and removed--none of which were bothering me in the first place--I honestly feel bad for these poor possums, what did they do with them when they took them away? While the skunk continued living its best life beneath my home. Three possums later, I'm convinced the trap's only qualification was "contains animal." I'm honestly surprised they didn't catch my own cat, a squirrel, and the neighbor's golden retriever while they were at it. The skunk, meanwhile, continues to live its best life under my house while I funded this expensive wildlife exchange program. Thank you All-in-One. If your goal is to spend hundreds of dollars catching harmless possums, this company may be for you. If your goal is to solve a skunk problem, All N One Pest Eliminators are a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!

If there's an opportunity for him to be promoted or given a pay increase, I wouldn't mind our monthly price increasing as long as it all goes to Zach. I'm sure other customers would agree.

The Original Rodent Proofers

They were…read morecompetitive, not the cheapest, but Shannon Lee sold me on their work, along with Brandon (owner's) call to check in and answer any questions. Their warranty on work done was another key factor. An electrician found a dead rat and droppings in the attic, so I needed clean up and rodent proofing. In the crawl space, a bunch of the ducts were unattached by wear and tear and plumbing work that had been done in the past (which I didn't know. No wonder my gas bill was so high over the winter!). Shannon and team cleaned everything up, sanitized, reattached the ducts and rodent proofed the whole house on the outside. Apparently the attic was vulnerable, as prior owners' foam had been chewed through in the eaves. After they were done they set traps which will be checked every few weeks. I will update if there are any further rodents but I am confident in the work by the company and team. I highly recommend this family owned company.

Before hiring, I had asked my local mom's group, local raves and rants page and Nextdoor... these…read morefolks came up as highly recommended. So we interviewed them for the job. The guy who came out was on time, a bit eccentric and very passionate about rats. He was detail oriented and did a great job explaining the job and its breakdown. Unfortunately on the day of the job, we had 4 guys come to our home on time- but none of them spoke English. Now, I appreciate them coming out, but we just could not communicate and they did not have work trucks or shirts with their company name. An hour later, we had a younger guy show up and he spoke English. The crew worked really fast, did a nasty job of removing our rodent infested insulation and put in new insulation, they mixed concrete and patched up some holes as well and put out rat traps. They came back twice to check the traps and removed them. I think they did a good job, appreciate their punctuality. But management should always send someone who speaks some English and provide a company truck or at least shirts. I personally felt uncomfortable letting into my home a group of random men with no identification.

Honest Rodent Proofing

After getting multiple estimates from different rodent and insulation companies, I can confidently…read moresay that Honest Rodent Proofing was by far the best experience!!! Best company - by far- in the Bay Area. AND they a the licensed too! Verrrrry important!! Many companies on Yelp are not licensed companies. AJ and his team went above and beyond to make sure everything was done 100% right. They were incredibly thorough, detail-oriented, and took the time to explain everything along the way. AJ especially stands out. He is a very reasonable guy, and transparent with what needed to be done, which sadly seemed like a rarity these days in the business world. I can tell he genuinely cares about doing the job properly and treating his customers fairly. At no point did I feel pressured or upsold (like I did with the several other companies I met with) just honest advice and quality work. He even offered to come over after the job was done to do a final walkthrough and address any concerns (if any) with my dad. The whole team was professional, hardworking, and they clearly take pride in what they do. If you are dealing with rodents or insulation issues and want a company you can trust, go with Honest Rodent Proofing! Thank you AJ, Yami, Jazmin, Aldo, Brian Ray, Sam, Francisco, Esequiel, Clemente, and the rest of the team!!!!

However, after having disappointing experiences with larger corporate pest control companies in the area, including Orkin and Terminix, I decided to give him a chance. I'm glad I did. From the first consultation, it was obvious that Moses knew exactly what he was doing. What stood out most was that there was no sales pitch. No pressure. No upselling. No endless list of add-on services. He walked the property, identified the rodent intrusion points, explained what needed to be done, provided straightforward pricing, and got to work. His team spent an entire day on the first phase of the project going far beyond what I expected, without trying to tack on additional fees. They sealed entry points, removed heavily contaminated insulation from the attic and subfloor areas, cleaned and sanitized rodent-affected spaces, and hauled away approximately 500 pounds of contaminated material. They also cleaned out the garage, removed rodent droppings, organized the contents, and left everything looking significantly better than when they arrived. What impressed me most was that Moses approached the project like someone solving a problem rather than someone trying to maximize an invoice. He was focused on getting the job done correctly. My clients could not be happier with the results. In addition to rodent proofing and remediation, Moses also offers landscaping, siding repair and replacement, artificial turf installation, and other handyman services. His pricing was competitive, his communication was excellent, and the quality of work exceeded expectations. As his first Yelp reviewer, I understand that some people may hesitate because there isn't a long review history yet. All I can say is that in our experience, the companies with the biggest names and the most reviews charged more and delivered less. Moses delivered exactly what he promised, worked incredibly hard, and earned our trust through the quality of his work. I would confidently hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone needing rodent remediation, exclusion work, cleanup, or general property maintenance.

So entering my native country Japan requires a special paperwork provided by the Japanese government to be filled by a medical facility as for your covid test (it has to be done within 72hrs of your flight departure time). So I cannot just take a covid test and show that result a facility provides. Since I don't live in LA or Bay area, there is no Japanese clinic around that can fill the special form for me. Then I find this place. MAI is very knowledgeable and provides the same day result with the special form filled by them to enter Japan. $150 for the same day result plus $30 for the paperwork. You have to be there before 9am for the same day result (online reservation needed). If you are going to Japan, they will provide you a saliva test instead of nasal automatically, since saliva testing is the most popular done in Japan. FYI Real Time PCR nasal testing is accepted by Japan, however a rapid nasal testing done at CVS, Walgreen and such is not accepted. I really appreciate they do saliva instead of nasal which is painful. I took my test around 8:30am and the result was emailed by 12pm and the Japanese form was emailed about an hour after getting my result back. The testing site and their lab is at the same location and that is why they can process your test so quickly...instead of sending samples somewhere else. It is 90min drive one-way for me but it saves me a lot, especially the stress of getting the result back on time (as most places only have an estimate time of processing....usually 1-2days if not rapid) and getting the neccessary Japanese form filled correctly. I would definitely use them again!

This was imperative because some countries require a PCR test within 72 hours of *landing*--considerably difficult especially considering long international layovers that can take up to 5 hours. McCampbell Analytical lab workers were incredibly systematic in their procedure to minimize clients' exposure to one another (and themselves). Everyone makes an appointment and arrives at the designated time. They remain in their vehicles the entire time. A lab worker comes up to the window to verify IDs then returns with their test kits. Everyone does their own nasal swab, same swab in both nostrils, then deposits it into a small vial of liquid, swab side down. After successfully collecting nasal swab samples from the safety of their vehicles, just flag down a worker and they will collect the samples from you and remind that results are delivered by email later that day (or next day, depending which test package you purchased). The whole process happens very quickly with exposure to other people minimized. It's worth the drive to get guaranteed results in time for your big trip.
