We used Elite1 Termite Control back in mid November. Mario is amazing to work with. He came to our home and explained everything in great detail to me and my wife. He is extremely responsive, professional and very pleasant. He scheduled the work as we requested and resolved our termite issue. Thank you Mario - keep up the amazing work. read more

Mario is wonderful to work with--very professional, trustworthy, responsive and knowledgeable. We're hoping we won't need termite services again anytime soon, but if we do, Mario will absolutely be our first call. read more

Mario was very helpful in explaining the process and providing guidance. He answered our many questions quickly and very professionally. The only downside was the delay in the extermination crew's arrival. Would have been nice to have been notified they were going to be late. The quality of the work was great, and the crew did an excellent job at cleaning up after the tent was removed. Would recommend them. read more

Mario has been taking care of our home for 11 years. Every year, dependably he comes by to take a look at everything around the house and under the house. He writes up a detailed report and sends it to us in a timely manner. Any time we have questions, he responds by telephone promptly and when necessary comes over to see. A couple of times we saw a lot of little droppings and thought it was termites. He came over and guaranteed us that it was because of crickets not because of termites. A couple of other times we called him, he came over and did find new small termite infestation. He corrected it at no additional cost and the recurrence has not happened again. He is always cheerful, kind thoughtful, dependable, professional. We unhesitatingly recommend Mario at Elite1 Termite Control for your termite needs. read more

Mario at Elite1 is my go-to guy when it comes to termites and he should be your choice as well. He is professional, dependable and delivers on his promises. I have used other companies (the big one with the green logo) in the past for tenting and inspections and will not return as they do not deliver and constantly try to upsell. Mario should be your choice for your termite problems, you will not be disappointed. I have referred him to many people and all have been very satisfied with his services as well. read more

I didn't think that my termite control experience could be so pleasant! Mario was very collected and polite while also being very straightforward about what's going on with our termite situation. He gave us clear instructions on how to prepare, and he performed the service himself. You would have never known he had been here, he was very precise with drilling and patching. But the termites will know! bwah ha ha ha.... Mario is quick, personable and knowledgable, and gave us a great price. Support small businesses and go with Mario instead of the big corporations. I think you will be very happy that you did! read more

Mario came to give an estimate and was thorough, clear, swift and efficient! Highly Recommend. read more

Very impressed with Mario and his staff . They are very professional in doing business and taking care of our due Termite Maintenance for our House . He is very clear with his contract and what services , warranty they provide . Thank you Mario ! Highly recommend him to Family and Friends . He is very honest . read more

Great service. Mario is professional, personable, and reasonable. I would highly recommend him and Elite 1.

We had a slew of termites show up at our front door so I called a few places to come over and give us their opinion. Mario was recommended through a parent Facebook group that I am a member of. I do like Mario's professionalism, response time, and communication. His price was on the high side to perform tenting or we may have considered him more closely. One other thing I would have liked him to do is look around and under the home. He came in, measured and gave me an estimate for tenting. Other companies that came in looked in my attic and under my home to give me a really good picture of the potential damage and infestation, literally with pictures from their phones. Apparently we have subterranean termites too and of the 4 companies I called to give me estimates, only one found them and provided me with a picture of them. One company went under my home and told me we didn't have subterranean termites. Based on the pictures I saw we have a lot that we need to address. read more

Mario was great. He was prompt, professional, and easy to work with. We were very happy with Elite1 and would definitely recommend.

Mario and his team did a fantastic job with our fumigation project. Prior to starting the project, we had been e-mailing back and forth for a month or two. He was polite, knowledgable and transparent. Our situation was unique because it was a condo (4 to be exact) with 2 of the neighbors not interested in tent fumigation. Mario was very knowledgable about the gas pipes (meters /headers) and suggested 3 options, one of which ended up being the decision that we went with. Everything went according to plan. He literally thought of everything up front so there were zero surprises. I was one of those people that thought fumigating would be a huge pain, but it turned out to be very easy. I strongly recommend Mario and Elite1 Termite Control to anyone looking for termite fumigation. He is the definition of professional. read more

Very prompt and professional service. Elite1 took care of subterranean and drywood termites. I really liked dealing with Mario. Mario was always prompt and took the time to explain everything to me in great detail and answer all of the questions I had. Although I hope I never get termites again, if I do, I will definitely be contacting Elite1 again. read more

Literally a flawless experience with Elite1. I had previously called a more well-known competitor and almost went with them, but at the last minute had some suspicions about them so decided to call around. Of all the termite people I called, Mario was the easiest to get a hold of, easiest to talk to, gave me easy-to-understand information, and was at my house by the next day to do an inspection. His inspection was 100x more thorough than the competitor's and it was very clear very quickly that Mario was legit and knew exactly what he was talking about. I went with them and the communication for the entire time- inspection, scheduling, tent coordinating, visits, etc.- was flawless (which is hard to get these days). Mario was friendly and thorough every time he came over, I asked a million questions and he never seemed to be in a rush to get out, and I really can't get over how easy the coordination was with them. I never had to think about a certain thing because they were on top of it all. The guys who did the actual tenting- same thing. Easy to communicate, on-time, and easy to coordinate with. Mario, I wish more contractors were like you! Thanks for making something like termite control such a joyful experience (when, let's be honest- nobody wants to have to deal with it)! read more

I highly recommend Elite Termite Control, Mario and the team is so professional, they did a good job in everything from the start to the finish. Mario is always on time and answers all the questions right away. I recommend them to family and friends! Keep it up guys... read more

Disclaimer: I am writing a review for the customer service, not the tenting because this company was not available for the specific timeframe I had requested in the end. Mario showed up on time and explained a few things that I wasn't aware about house tenting business. Very useful information. He walked around the house with me and told me what would be done and how can it be done to minimize possible damage to plants that are too close to the house, what's possible and what's not, etc. He sent me the quote during the promised timeframe and was very responsive/professional throughout the entire process. read more

They were great. They had shorter time windows than most for a quote. They gave me a quote the same day. They were always on time. They were professional. I couldn't ask for anything more except not needing termite treatment. read more

Elite1 was very professional and helpful with the termite prevention service that I wanted. They took the time to explain what they were doing, what was and was not needed, and things to look out for after the work was complete. I highly recommend their service to anyone looking for termite prevention/elimination (fumigation). read more

Mario was great! The house we rent was one of the worst he's seen in quite a long time, so we got the works done. He came and did the whole outside for 2 days and did a great job. No problems with the tenting either. Mario answered all our questions and had plenty of bags for us to use. Highly recommend! read more

We had such a great experience from process to fumigation and everything in between. We consulted with a few other companies and found that Elite1 was both the better service and better price amongst others. Everyone involved was very accommodating, respectful, helpful, clean and made every step of the fumigating process that much more pleasant. Thank you to Mario for all of the help, my family and I appreciate it all! -Malena and family! read more

Great service from Mario. Friendly, professional and prompt. Highly recommend to anyone with a termite problem.

Mario is great! He gave us a fair price and went out of his way to work with my budget and tight time frame. We purchased our home in Valley Village and had a crazy situation with the realtor and the previous home owner, but we had to get the house tented before we moved in. I didn't want to spend time or money paying for a hotel between moving out of our old place and into the new house. Mario worked everything out for us and came under budget in comparison to the other termite companies that had given us quotes. It's nice to know there are people out there who will give you an honest and fair quote. Life is good and Elite 1 Termite Control is great! We'll being using them to maintain a termite free home for years to come. Thank, Mario. read more

Beware if you have terra cotta shingles! My house has Terra cotta shingles and many were broken. He makes you sign a document that he's not liable . Well, when first rains came we had terrible leaks. He didn't tells us about broken tiles!! Our tenants called and water was leaking in the middle of their bed! I called him twice left a desperate message and asked if he knew a roofer to help us and he never bothered to even call back to say he didn't know any. We've had other companies will at least give you recomendaciones who to call. Bad Customer service! read more

Mario is hands down the most professional, knowledgeable, and efficient service provider. He came and did the inspection, he showed us everything he found and explained the process. He was on time, he called 20 minutes ahead of arrival as we requested, he was neat, respectful and thorough. read more

I found Elite1 through the Handyman web site and I chose them because of their great reviews. I immediately got a call from Mario and he set up a 2 hour window to give me an estimate. He was right on time! He found my termite problem was not as bad as I thought and gave me a reasonable estimate for spot treatment. He came back the following day and fixed the area that needed treatment. However before leaving he found another location that neither he nor I could see initially because of the location. He went ahead and fixed that site too and it had even a a more active termite infestation. I highly rate Mario as being a professional, personable and reasonable. read more

July 31, 2019: Mario of Elite 1 is top notch! I was getting ready to go on vacation when termites stuck their evil heads out at me in my office! It couldn't have been the worse time possible! Mario answered my call promptly, came out the next day, and did the job that was needed immediately! He was so patient to explain every step and what was going on in the house. He saved my skin and vacation time! I couldn't be happier! You simply don't need to look around because they're the best in town! Torrance, CA read more

Mario is a very nice, very thorough and professional . He returns your calls immediately even called my husband in Rosarito, Mexico for update. His crew was very meticulous and left every thing very clean. His prices I thought were very reasonable. I will be hiring him again for my personal home. I was very impressed at how easy the process went. read more

Mario was amazing. This was seriously a tough job! From challenges with the gas company and coordinating with the landlord and neighbors, Mario and his team were outstanding. He was patient, explained everything, and never pressured us to make a decision. I would highly recommend Elite1. I am so happy to finally be rid of these termites!!!!! Thank you, Mario! read more

I was looking for a locally owned termite company and I found Elite1 through Yelp. I called on Monday morning at 8:15am and Mario was at my house by 9am the same morning. He explained what kind of termites I had, how they got there and the possible solutions. His quote was very reasonable and I did get a Yelp discount! Mario came back on Wednesday and did all the work himself. I am very happy with this company and frankly wish there were more locally owned companies around that are as awesome as this one :) read more

Mario, the owner, is a top notch guy. He is timely, honest, and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend.

I was highly impressed with Mario in terms of professionalism and honesty. He scheduled the inspection one day after I called and arrived on time. We had some areas where we had residue, but he provided a very thorough inspection. On the day of treatment, he again, arrived on time and worked throughout the day. He was able to do an electrical treatment, reducing chemicals. While he found more activity on treatment day, the price was exactly what he quoted. I would definitely recommend them to friends in the future. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Mario and his entire crew. They were professional, helpful, responsive, friendly, etc. etc. Tenting your home and fumigating is a very cumbersome and detailed process, but Mario guided us through every step of the way. And now we have dead termites! I am totally convinced that Elite1 is more thorough than the other services, and they do not cut corners. You can really tell that Mario prides himself on the quality and thoroughness of his work. It shows. I would recommend this company to anyone. Thank you, Mario. read more

I couldn't be happier with the pricing, service, and results that Mario provided. I'd Highly recommend Elite1 Termite Control to one and all!!! read more

We had more than one Termite Control service come to our house to assess the situation. Mario was on time and very thorough. His professionalism was refreshing. We will be referring more business to Elite1. Thank you. read more

To follow up on Mario's response to my negative review: You returned 1 phone call after I left 2 messages, and communicated the one thing I requested through 1 curt email. The only thing I asked for were the names of the individuals involved in setting up and breaking down the tent, and for your patience while the investigations continued. You provided the names, but in regards to your patience, it apparently was short lived as you tried to assess a late fee on my bill!! The facts as stated still remain accurate. The fact that your team left before I got home, like the burglary was no big deal, really left a bad impression. In regards to the windows chosen to leave open, you have not commented on why there was no plan put in place or assessment of which windows to leave open. You never walked through the house to figure that out, so I'm quite certain that your team wasn't given any such plan. You were not onsite for the tenting so you couldn't give any guidance on the day of either. Hopefully I won't need another tenting, but knowing what I know now, I will definitely make sure that the company understands how to assess vulnerabilities in my particular house and reduce the risk of burglary, which you absolutely did not do. read more

I give Elite1Termite Control an A+! Mario was incredibly organized, responsive and thorough. His understanding of the pest control issue we were having was extensive. Honestly, this was easy as it possibly could have been. I am very impressed by the way this business is run. Major Thumbs up for Elite1Termite Control. read more

loved this company. Mario provided me with a quote that was 1/2 the price of my realtor's referral. Saving me almost $3,000. He was very professional and I loved the workers also. They were on time and knew what they were doing. I highly recommend this company. read more

Mario & his crew did an excellent tented fumigation job from start to finish. I was concerned about them possibly damaging a 35 foot long car port overhang but I watched as Mario's team, carefully installed and removed the tarp, just barely touching the car port surface and only 1 broken roof tile. Amazing! Will be recommending Elite1 to friends & family. Thank you Mario & your team. read more

I haven't actually used this company, but I'm writing a review because I'm very impressed with the time that was taken to give me advice over the phone. I'm trying to sell my home and was feeling like the termite company that did our inspection and gave the recommendation to fumigate was being too excessive. I called Elite1 Termite to get a 2nd opinion. He took the time to talk to me about potential issues dealing with not fumigating and was NOT trying to sell his own company. I told him what they were going to charge to fumigate and he told me that the price they were quoting was actually very reasonable. Again, he didn't even try to sell his own services. He basically just let me "pick his brain" to get information and advice. How many people now a days would take the time to help without promise of anything in return? Again, I was very impressed! read more

used mario last year,brilliant.came in with best quote and was the only company to offer a two year warranty.will definately use again.
