We went with Green Flash for termite fumigation and wood repair, and the communication was great, with handy text reminders for our appointments. They gave us clear instructions to get ready for the fumigation, like clearing plants around the house and bagging food. The price was competitive with other companies, and our new solar panels were not damaged. Special thanks to Eddie and the office staff. read more

Our experience with Green Flash was excellent. Amy set up our treatment for bugs the next day. The technician Joe was friendly and efficient. Their prices can't be beat and they have a 30 day guarantee. Highly recommend Green Flash! read more

I am giving Green Flash 2 stars based on a severely rushed recent inspection and the poor quality of their past repair work. Recently, I had them come out because I suspected termites in one of our rafter tails. To their credit, they correctly identified that specific spot as just fungus and didn't try to oversell me on treatments I didn't need. However, their inspection was incredibly brief. They spent only a few minutes scanning the house, didn't check the attic at all, and gave us the all-clear. A couple of days later, I had a second company come out for another look. They spent almost an hour doing a thorough inspection and found a severe termite infestation in a different rafter tail that was almost entirely hollowed out. They spotted the signs right through the paint. Green Flash completely missed this. On top of the missed inspection, the wood rot repairs Green Flash did for us 5 years ago (costing about $1,200) have both failed and need to be redone. They spliced a rafter tail that is now loose, and it turns out they miscut a replacement barge board on the back of the house. To cover up the bad cut, they glued a scrap piece of wood over it, which has since detached and is currently hanging off the board. Bottom line: They failed to do a thorough termite inspection, and their carpentry work doesn't hold up. I highly recommend getting a second opinion on their inspections and hiring a dedicated specialist for any actual wood repairs. read more

These people are complete amateurish, incompetent idiots. I explained at length two weeks ago that I wanted them to treat one single room outside, that was a bird aviary, AFTER I moved all the birds out. They were supposed to come in and check out the space and give me an estimate on the treatment, which they explained was safe. I explained very lucidly that it would then be cleaned of any residue by pressure washing it, and waiting a full two weeks before bringing the birds back in again. The office told me it would be safe, as long as I wait 24 hours, and it would be even more safe if I washed inside. I waited two weeks, and then, at the very last minute, the day before the appointment, they tell me they cancelled because they can't spray while the birds are in there. Apparently, these people do not even have the basic comprehension skills of a third grader and cannot tell the difference between spraying BEFORE, and AFTER my birds are moved to another location. I guess staying in school and learning the basics of the English language, and and the meaning of words we all come to master when we graduate grammar school would help a good deal in avoiding such incompetent stupidity in the long run. thanks for wasting my time when I could have gone to a competent company whose staff actually graduated the third grade read more

Unreliable and inconsistent. Didn't show up for recurring service appointments. Their customer service operator is the worsts. She sent the service guy to the wrong address. read more

Had our house fumigated (for termites) this past week. Out of the different exterminators that gave us estimates, Green Flash was the most reasonable. From the start, we had very good communication with the office staff (thank you Wendy) and they answered every question in a very professional way. Once it was determined that we had termites and needed to fumigate, we opted to have our house tented. We were given lots of special bags with detailed instructions on how to pack items safely. We then moved into a hotel for a couple of days and had the technicians tent our house. It's a nervous feeling leaving our house to strangers but they did a great job. They left a note telling us when we could safely return. We recommend Green Flash if you are looking for an extermination company. Good communication and very professional. read more

Luis was very polite, professional, informative, and thorough. He had no qualms navigating the three flights of stairs to treat our entire home. Highly recommend! read more

Affordable, fast service. Great communication as well. Have been using for over a year now.

This company had the best rates for a very thorough first visit. What really sold me is they don't force you into a 12-18 month contract like every other company. The tech worked very hard and explained everything before he got started. read more

Not happy with the service. Not only did they change the window the day before from the one we were originally told which is insanely inconvenient because we have a toddler who needed to be out of the house for four hours. We had to have them come back because they said if we see an ant in 30 days they come back so they did and there is still ants all over our back yard. We get sprayed once a year every summer and have never had this issue. We tried this company this time cause someone from work recommended it cause she knows someone who works there and safe to say we will be switching back. Not happy with this service at all. read more

Still a great company - always checking in and asking about any issues before and/or after they service. Great reputation, friendly techs (yay Rob!) and reasonable costs - if you aren't using them, well, maybe you should be! read more

Great service and Eric the tech was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would call them again when needed

I gave them a five star on the other review, but that Green Flash Pest Control page is locked up. Can't get to it. Had to start a new one. I didn't have a review for the first time (when they didn't go away at all) because they were coming back to make good. I wanted to give them a chance. The second time got the five star review (because went away for a few days). First time was meh, I called them immediately and said the ants were back. The woman on the phone said I'd have to give them more time. Then they scheduled me when my "warrantee" was nearly up. There were ants coming in from everywhere...they just sprayed. They didn't track the ants back to their nests. A few days after the second time, I called and the woman who answered the phone, who isn't pleasant (the kind of place you really don't want to call back) said, This was a one time thing, this wasn't an ongoing contract! What! I told her it never took. She told me it was the heat. When I first called, she said, It's because of the heat, we'll take care of those ants. Well, it didn't take. This photo is the ants on my counter three days after they sprayed twice. I sprayed them with organic olive oil pan spray to kill them on the spot. I got the Green Flash organic spray service twice. They were done in around 18, maybe 20 minutes. My house has a large footprint and several terrains. I asked the first guy what kind of ants they were, he said they were pavement ants. Well, I looked it up, pavement ants are most active at night. All my attacks are during the day. The third time I called, she was so nasty, I asked her to have the manager call me. Never a call back. I'd told her I had given them five stars, and if they wanted to keep that rating they needed to make good. Then, their review page was down. Does Yelp do this kind of thing when a bad review is coming? That's not right. It seems as though they know their organic product does not work. I am calling Visa and telling them to get back my money. Did not work! At all! All this took about a bit more than a week. It would have taken less time if she would have put it the repeat order sooner, she said it took four days to see if it worked. I've never heard that from the other ant company - it starts to work immediately. Four days? The first guy didn't listen too well. I asked him to call me and not come up the stairs until I came out. I was wrangling the dogs into the bedroom, so it took a minute. Then he banged on the kitchen window (upstairs). I went out and he said he called and he was done! I had frogs upstairs on the deck, and'd I told him to wait for a reason. Well two of my frogs who must have gotten hit with the stuff under the floor boards. They never came back. They've lived here for three years and have never gone away, even with the organic ant service from somewhere else. That company was slammed and couldn't come soon enough. I should have waited, thinking one exterminator is like another is not a sure bet, at all. Apparently they have two guys working Ramona and surrounding areas (the place is in Vista). So, they go around your house as quickly as possible. I have cameras all around the house and watched afterward (I wish you could post movies here), they missed a lot and didn't really look around for any ant nests. No, don't call them. Just keep looking for somewhere else. Their organic spray doesn't even have the smell of peppermint or anything. Doesn't work. Don't waste your time. Don't waste your money. I found this organic boric acid on Amazon, harmless and organic. Found the ant nest - the ants were going there straight from the house. Didn't take much effort to find it - and put a teaspoon in. And that was that - no more ants. I took care of the before the weather started cooling off. BOOM! All gone. Nice guys, but their organic spray and methods didn't work...twice. I was going to give them two stars for effort, but the woman in the office - her attitude steered me away from that. The organic product doesn't seem to work, and that is a big issue. read more

Requested a termite inspection from Green Flash Pest Control. Made the appointment through Amy. She was professional and helpful. Amy was able to have someone respond the next day. Eddie texted me 30 mins prior to his arrival. Eddie was professional and thorough. In addition, I believed Eddie to be honest and fair with his assessment. To my surprise, the inspection was free of charge. I would recommend Green Flash to friends and family. read more

Quick response and scheduling for termite inspection and wood repair. Reasonably priced. Helpful staff.

very nice and honest. They told me my house is fine, no immediate impact and minor problem on fence; provided helpful advice.

Eric did a thorough job treating our house against black spiders & ants for a reasonable fee. After the inside of our house was treated, we locked the house and left the recommended 1-2 hours. We could see on our Ring doorbell video that even the eaves of the house were included in what was treated. read more

They took care of our cockroach issue one in one job and I really appreciated they listened and didn't push a repeating service

I cannot recommend John Tanner at GreenFlash pest control enough. Such a nice guy & very thorough & informative in everything he was saying. Such an honest, HONEST company. We had called Terminex recently because we thought we saw termites & ants going into our walls. Terminex looked at our video & right away confirmed it was termites. Even told us we had mice & rats issues in our attic, which was odd because many people went up there recently for other jobs & never said anything. Nor have we ever seen any droppings or ever hear anything running around upstairs. So we called several other companies to come for 2nd opinions. John Tanner was one of the first & comes in and looks at the 2 videos I had. Right away confirms it's ants & ants with wings. Not termites. But to make sure, he went into our attic & all around the house to do a thorough examination. In the end, no signs of termites & no mice or rats!! He even went above & beyond to give me a couple of suggestions about other things around the house to save me $$ & headaches in the future. Thank you GreenFlash for being such an honest company. I cannot recommend them enough. If you have any pest issues of any sort, or in need of preventative procedures, please contact them & rest assure you are dealing with a good, & honest company. Their prices are also fair as he was giving me costs for different things & monthly pest preventative procedures. We still have other companies scheduled to come this week for more opinions. But I definitely will only go to them from now on for any pest/bug problems since I loved John so much. A+ all the way. Thanks again GreenFlash!! read more

Green Flash - Very nice, thorough, & honest guy. Give him a call! - Pest Control Near Me - Vista, California

A very positive experience with Green Flash! My parents have been not-so-peacefully coexisting with the rampant ants in their Vista home for several years now, trying all the home/commercial remedies without relief. After waking up with ants in my bed four days in a row, I begged them to let me call some professionals. From the 15 options I compared, Green Flash stood out from the rest, thanks to its no-contract, no cancellation fee policies and ecofriendly treatments. My parents are avid gardeners and worried about potential drift affecting pollinators, avian life, and their fruit/vegetable garden, so they had many concerns about effects and what they could expect from the service. Amy was a pleasure to deal with from the start, patiently answering our questions in great detail. Reassured, my parents agreed, and they sent our technician Rob out in less than 48 hours. We appreciated the responsive service -- when you reach a breaking point with household pests, you just can't wait anymore. Rob was a treasure, and a credit to the Green Flash name! He took the time to inspect the property, listen to our concerns, explain everything he would do, show the pesticides he would use and how he chooses to apply them, and clean up the cobwebs in the eaves. He also advised us on ant behavior and explained how the treatment would take effect. It really was heartening to witness the extra care he took to help us beat our ant invaders. I especially appreciate Rob's dedication and kindness he showed to my elderly parents. A++ service! It's only been 3 days, and we are seeing a remarkable difference. read more

Working with them for a while now and they treatment is good and we find less spiders around the house

Our technician Eric was thorough as always. It is obvious that he is an expert and cares about doing the job right every time. We truly appreciate Eric's work. read more

I have been a customer with Green Flash for a few years now and I can not recommend them enough. They have consistently provided great service. They have great service technicians who are always friendly and knowledgeable. Most recently we had Eric. What can I say about Eric?! EVERYTHING. He is friendly, knowledgeable and ALWAYS goes over and above to ensure our home is clean of webs and bug free. I mean the thoroughness of his work is really unsurpassed, turning over all the patio furniture and clearing out all the webs to making sure to replace bait and sticky traps - really great job. Thank you so much. I can sleep better at night knowing I have a tech like Eric at Green Flash. read more

A friend of mine recommended Green Flash when she had bedbugs because they use heat to kill the bugs. So the way Green Flash deals with extermination is the most effective and the safest. Mike came and checked my house for bedbugs. He was extremely professional and thorough. He was also extremely honest and told me there were no signs of bedbugs. I appreciated that he did not try to talk me into something I don't need. I found out from my dermatologist that I have a rash and hives and it is not bites at all, so I appreciate the honesty of this company and I greatly appreciate the integrity that Mike showed. This inspection was free of charge, which was much appreciated! I will definitely contact this company when I need pest control in the future. I highly recommend this company!! read more

We have been using Green Flash with an annual warranty for a number of years, which is a necessity living at the beach. All staff members are friendly, helpful, and informative from the office staff to the technicians. We've talked with office staff members Wendy, Amy, and Steve who can answer any question or find the information for you. Our technicians this year Eddie and Kyler were great as all of the workers have been over the years. Eddie is friendly and personable, worked quickly on our 3 units assessing all the wood and boards on the property. He showed us each area that needs repaired and said a technician would be coming within the next week or 2 to make the repairs. The office staff scheduled an appointment for repairs for 6 days later. Kyler arrived on time and began the repairs immediately. He's friendly and personable, likes his job and takes pride in his work. He informed us of each treatment and fascia replacement. He does excellent meticulous work, repairs & paints all the boards in a fast and efficient manner, cleans up everything, and informs us what he's going to do before and shows us the areas when he's done. Highly recommended, thank you Kyler and Eddie! read more

They only wanted to do bait boxes, not traps. We ended up going with Verde and are very happy with our choice.

Arrived on time, super professional, explained details of issues and repairs. Would highly recommend!

Had a free termite inspection by Eddie Gomez. He was very thorough and efficient. Top notch service and friendly with termite service recommended in my attic and outside eves. Dave arrived on time also very friendly and efficient. He worked the attic fogging for termites and then did serious checking & service outside. I live in an attached condo so they can't perform tenting. But Dave worked relentlessly on my attached unit inside and out. Patio boards were found to be totally infected. The HOA needs to get on top of this as there are eight units that could be involved in the exterior. Thank you Dave & Eddie for your total dedication. Green Flash is awesome. read more

Rob helped us out immensely when there was a mite related problem. He communicated thoroughly, was sensitive to our needs, and took care of the problem like a true pro. Thank you Rob and thank you Green Flash. I highly recommend the company and I highly recommend Rob! read more

Jesse came to do a free rodent inspection-he was on time, polite and efficient! I really appreciate that he put on booties over his shoes without me even asking, upon entering my house. We use green flash for our quarterly maintenance service, and could not be happier with them! read more

Sad to update this review. We have decided to discontinue the service with Green Flash. We have been with them for more than five years and really liked their service in the first few years. Not sure what happened, but after reaching out with an inquiry 10 days ago, we didn't hear back from them, even after follow-ups. The customer service I received recently also didn't feel like it used to. I hope others have better luck than us, but I just wanted to provide honest feedback. read more

I am quite impressed with Green Flash, and I am anxious to see the results of our first pest treatment today! Their customer service is delightful...Thank you, Amy, and the technician who promptly and thoroughly treated my daughter's property this morning was terrific...Thank you, Rob! I appreciate the safe products used, especially the gel. I will be even more appreciative to see our ant problem here disappear! Thanks, Green Flash! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with John Tanner at Green Flash Pest Control twice now, and at each service visit John has been professional, knowledgeable, and reliable. His vast understanding of various pest problems that could occur in your home is very helpful when trying to identify a problem. John and his team have done a great job servicing an exterior termite problem last year, and in 2024 they helped me resolve an interior ant issue we were having in our kitchen. 10/10 would recommend John and GFPC to anyone. read more

Had a very bad experience with their termite service. On the day of my fumigation, they emailed me and did not try to call or text me at all to let me know that my fumigation was delayed by a day and simply expected me to find housing for an additional day. Also because the next morning was a weekend, they said they didnt have anyone to contact to get any additional status on what was going on. Lastly, i found out that green flash doesnt even do the fumigation and simply contracts out to someone else who doesnt care much about qualify of work. The fumigators left half my cabinets open and wrappings throughout my house. My recommendation is to go with another termite company that actually does their own work and also has better communication with their customers read more

We termite tented 2 houses this year; this was such a better experience than the other house. Everyone was nice when you spoke to them and they went above and beyond. I did not purchase tile insurance and don't think they broke any. The only reason, I know this is bc our roof was pressure washed after and they did not report any broken tiles. John was nice and explained everything to me to ease my mind. Thank you Green Flash for being professional and kind. read more

I am very happy with the service we received from Greenflash. My husband And I just moved to a half acre in the foothills of Vista and we we're not aware of the gopher issues in this area. After a few months of living here we noticed a bunch of mounds of dirt forming all over our property. We just spent a ton of money on landscaping and they were ruining our yard. We tried catching them ourselves, I watched numerous YouTube videos and purchased several different traps. We didn't catch anything. Mike came out and gave us a consultation and answered all of my questions and educated me about gophers. He set a trap and in the morning there was a gopher!! He set another one and hours later he caught another gopher! We are so thankful to have this issue resolved so that our newly planted fruit trees don't get destroyed. Our dog has also been digging to try to find them so we are happy we won't be finding any "gifts". The traps they set are very discrete and it turns yellow so you know you have a gopher. Thank you so much for all of your help! read more

I've been using Green Flash pest control, for my pest control needs, and I couldn't be happier with the service. Anthony is incredibly thorough, always taking the time to explain what he's doing and why. What really stands out is how trustworthy he is--I feel completely confident having him in and around my home. He shows up on time, sticks to the schedule, and follows through on everything he promises. If you're looking for someone reliable and honest, I highly recommend green flash pest control, and more specifically Anthony. read more

My husband was present for initial consult with Doug and was super impressed with the time he spent explaining everything and answering all of my husbands questions. And trust me, he has A LOT. He was so impressed that he specifically requested Doug be the one to take care of our needs (gopher and outside insect spraying). I was present for the placing of the gopher hawks and the confidence Doug walked in with made me feel a bit sad for the poor gopher. We went with a 4 week contract and The World's smartest, most evasive gopher was "taken care of". Thank you so much Doug & Green Flash! Will continue to use this company for sure. Even had them come and take care of spraying the outside at my in laws. Mike helped with that one and we were impressed with his thoroughness as well. read more
