I called around all the top reviewed places and decided on Original Rodent Proofing. 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.

We would like to provide an update…read more Remember the unit Dan chose not to enter to inspect and just accepted comments from the residents? That was Tues, Oct 28. There were mice sightings in the unit the evening of Nov 1 (Sat). We emailed Dan on Nov 2 as per instructed to only communicate through email with him and not Cynthia, asking for immediate advice, action, and reiterating Nov 10 is way too long to wait especially now we still have mice around. No response yet from Dan. Again, does this guy have your best interest in mind? Well, Dan has already been paid in full, and I was told he had a big project this week.

In the end, I didn't hire Dan. The only reason is that it's difficult to get a hold of someone and…read morehis schedule seems pretty packed, so the earliest he can come is always a week or more out, whereas other exterminators and bug removal companies were able to schedule something in the next couple of days at most, sometimes the same day. I finally had something scheduled (actually canceled someone else because Dan's reviews seemed more encouraging) 11 days ahead. Before that date came around I had inspections/estimates from two more companies and the job done by one. (and likely better done than Dan because it sounds Dan wouldn't have opened up the wall to get to the nest) Finally I canceled my appointment by text and still haven't received acknowledgment of it two days later. People seem pleased with his services and I'm sure he's doing a good job considering he's booked like that, so only read this review for the scheduling part. But it's so important to get a hold of someone quickly when you're dealing with yellowjackets flying around your house and inside your garage. For what it's worth the quoted price to take care of a yellowjacket nest with sprays was in line with other businesses I talked to. But I was told he couldn't attack the nest directly because it was inside a wall. That seems limiting.

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!!!!

They worked with us to customize their work to our coastal climate and were very transparent about exactly what materials they would be using (all top of the line, industral-grade!).

There has been this persistent smell of rodent urine in one of our closets for literally decades, no matter what we have done. Not any more! I could not recommend Rywen Insulation more highly for rodent control work. We've had rodent control people here before, but never at the level that Rywen takes things to. They put in place genuine long-term preventative measures to keep rats and mice out, not just patching holes. And that has made all the difference. No more smell in our under-the-stairs closet! And, I'm not sure if it is always a part of their service, but they offered us a one-year warranty. Rats and mice did return --- probably due to a contractor leaving our crawlspace door open overnight with the lights on, several times (oops). But Rywen took care of the problem immediately, no questions asked and no additional money requested, for the entire year of the warranty. They aren't cheap. But they are soooo worth it.
