I can't say enough great things about Joel from Handitech. He is always punctual and, honestly, probably the nicest person you'll ever meet. From day one, he's been reliable, professional, and just an all-around great human being. Since he started servicing our home, we've had zero issues with spiders or bugs--something we used to constantly deal with. Even more impressive, he's done a fantastic job getting the mosquito population under control around our house, which has made a huge difference for us. I truly wouldn't trust anyone else to handle this work. If you're looking for someone dependable who genuinely cares and delivers results, Joel's your guy. read more

Joel and the Handytech Termite team are top notch. My family has used the company for almost 4 years for mosquito + black widow/brown recluse control. It was absolutely INSANE how many dangerous spiders were on my property and I credit Joel and his team for making my backyard (and garage) safe for my young children to play in. Mosquitos are tough but i have noticed a big difference after Joel set bait traps. What sets Handytech apart is Joel's incredible attitude, flexibility, organization and availability. He educates his customers and is always available to answer questions. Just this Saturday I found a web inside the house that looked like a black widow web - Joel answered my text immediately and identified the web as coming from a different, harmless spider. Service is excellent, as is the pricing! read more

Great service, always on time. Using them since 2016. Highly recommend. Joel is very attentive, taking time to check and they use pets friendly materials, so pets are safe. read more

Joel was awesome! Super friendly with great communication and never went down the up-selling route. Highly recommend! Will definitely use him again if I have a similar need down the road! read more

We've had an excellent experience with Joel from Handytech. Joel is very professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely pleasant to work with. He takes the time to answer questions thoroughly and explain things clearly, without ever making us feel pressured to purchase additional services. Whenever we have any pest-related concerns or questions, I know I can always reach out to him for advice and guidance. It's refreshing to work with someone who is honest, reliable, and focused on providing quality service rather than upselling. Highly recommend! read more

Handytech is THE BEST! I've been working with them for five years and they are efficient, communicative, and trustworthy. There are multiple units on the lot and they take care of everything. I first got in touch with Handytech when I spotted a roach inside five years ago and I haven't seen one since! Not only knowledgeable but also kind. Don't waste time or money with anyone else - you'll be pest free and happy with Handytech. Thank you Handytech!! read more

Just the best. These guys are fantastic. Fast service. Quick response times and these guys are just so so nice and get the job done.

It's rare to find a company that leads with honesty, not upselling. Joel came out for a termite inspection and gave our home a thorough check. Instead of pushing unnecessary treatments, he told us we didn't need one -- and then shared some tips and homework for me to do to protect our house from rodents. Beyond the expertise, Joel was kind, professional, and clearly knew his stuff. Can't recommend HandyTech enough and will only be using them going forward! read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Joel is a delight to work with. He's been very patient and understanding and went above and beyond. I reached out to him when I needed some work done for my property that just got listed. We needed to redo termite inspection and remedy the findings on the report. My realtor had the inspection done by another company. Then, I remembered, I had hired Handytech back in 2021 and I liked the experience I had with Mr. Eddie. I'm a repeat customer because they excel in customer service. Mr. Joel was very upfront, does not oversell and genuinely honest in this business. It's hard to find trustworthy people nowadays. He's exceptionally good and kind human being. I definitely recommend them to anyone who wants pest and termite work done. They know their stuff. They're expert in this field. Thank you, Mr. Joel and Mr. Eddie for a stellar service. Grateful to have worked with you. read more

We had a problem with a flea infestation in our home due to a wild animal that came to die near our front door. Joel came through and through and went above and beyond in ALL aspects of the situation. He did a thorough job that included 2 treatments inside and outside. I am very grateful to Joel for all the emotional support that he provided me, answering questions even on weekends. I really tested Joel's patience with all my fears, and he dealt with this like the gentleman he is. I have nothing to say but THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU read more

Joel and his crew are the best. In our experience, they came down and did their job and some more. I say they are great in what they do that the termite fumigation on our house and termite damage repair went smoothly. Termite damage were remedied and were restored like nothing happened. Also, whatever question I had, they answered very promptly. Great service, great value, 3-year warranty on the termite control, nothing more you could ask for. Thank you, Joel and crew! In would highly recommend them! read more

I've been working with Joel and his team at Handytech for over a year now and they are nothing short of incredible. I've gotten multiple treatments done from them including a full scale termite fumigation, general pest control (mice, spiders, roaches), and also flea treatment as I have a dog. Joel and his team were able to complete all these jobs successfully and beyond that I have to praise their customer service as well. They are all very professional, prompt with their responses/scheduling, and overall just honest folks to work with and their pricing is very competitive. They have easily become my go to pest control company. read more

Joel and the office staff are so friendly and helpful. Joel is very knowledgeable and his pricing is very fair as well. I've had Joel come out on several occasions for different pests and he always delivers! I recommend 100%! read more

I originally picked this company because the chemicals they use have a much lower impact on the environment (nothing is perfect they ARE chemicals after all). I've now been using them for a few years and they only need to come once a year for their stuff to do the trick. They also never try to upsell you on continued service but can do that if you need. Joel (the owner) has come every time and he is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommend! read more

We hired this company and Joel to help us with flea treatment. Joel was super nice and responsive. He knew what needs to be done and process went smooth and painless. It is hard to find trustworthy company in our days, but I think we found one. Highly recommended. read more

We have had a great experience with Joel and the company in general. We've had issues from scorpions to rodents to Black widows. Joel has come many times and thoroughly explained his process in a friendly and kind manner. His work is extremely thorough and often stays longer than one might expect. Price wise they do more than you might expect for how much you're getting charged. We have used them many times in urgent situations- they've been very responsive and come sooner than their schedule allows would normally allow, working overtime to make sure that things are done the right way. I highly recommend Handytech for your rodent and pest needs! read more

So just had a quick follow up with Joel , such a kind man, and again offering great service for termite issues. No need to go anywhere else, check them out! read more

Not only did Joel do a great job, but he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. We have pets, and he took the time to explain everything he'd be doing, the actual risk associated with the materials he'd be using, and he thoroughly inspected our home prior to getting started. We had a cricket issue, and I'm happy to say that it has been addressed after Joel/Handytech's visit. Even better is that Handytech actually comes back out after 30-days to re-spray so that any eggs that have intubated over that time get addressed as well. Handytech offers a subscription service which we'll be signing up for. We previously had another vendor come out and spray once per year, and for just slightly more Handytech will visit 3 times per year and make sure that the crickets, excess ants, and black widows are taken care of while also preventing termites from establishing a foothold. The hardest part of being a homeowner is finding vendors you can trust to do a good job and treat your home as well as you treat it. With Joel/Handytech, dealing with pests is at least one area where I have full confidence. read more

Just hired this company for a localized termite infestation in one of our restrooms. If you value good customer service and trustworthy connections are important to you, I would definitely recommend this company. Joel came out and took care of the infestation in no time. He's incredibly personable and kind. It was a true pleasure having his help in this matter. I did my homework and research before retaining this company's services. read more

Handytech has been my go to company since 2015. Joel and his team have worked on several of my homes for various issues. They are trustworthy and reliable. I will continue to use them because of the integrity of their work. read more

We hired HandyTech for 2 issues. 1) We had a termite problem on our balcony and 2) We had a elder bug infestation swarming all over our garage door. In both instances, Joel assessed the situation, gave us an extremely reasonable quote, and was able to solve the issue in less than a day. For the termite problem, they also repaired our wooden balcony, so it was great to have everything done by one company. With the elder bug issue, we never saw the bugs come back again. We're customers for life! read more

Joel was very professional and communicated with me every step of the way. Even making sure he updated me when traffic was a little worse he got here sprayed for ants, and I was very pleased with the service even told me to trim the tree which he thought is where the ants were coming again. we just did that today so we're hoping that the combination of his spring and the tree trimming will eliminate our ants read more

I called Handytech on Monday to arrange an isnpection of an area in my garage that I thought had termites. There were tiny droppings on the slab around the side of my garage door that I waw pretty sure were dry wood termites. The secretarty was able to set up an inspection two days later on Wednesday. Joel Hurtado called me Wednesday aroond 11am and said he was running a birt early and asked if he could come in 25 minutes, so that was great. Joel checked the droppings and said that they were cricket feces not termites. Yay! He then proceeded to kindly educate me on how to tell the difference. Before he left he said he had a non-toxic spray in his truck that he would shoot in the crack between the stud and the door frame that would help. 30 seconds after he started spraying, hundreds of crickets of all sizes and a few spiders started crawiling out of the crack and dropping to the floor! That confirmed his diagnosis. Other pest companies might have suggested tenting the house or some other plan to get rid of the 'termites', but Joel was honest and took the time to educate me. I couldn't be more pleased and am happy to give him and Handytech my highest recommendation! read more

Handytech Termite & Pest Control Services - Cricket droppings - Pest Control Near Me

See all

I highly recommend Joel and the Handytech team. They are very professional, friendly, and very responsive over phone and texting. Joel especially made me feel respected and that he wanted me as a customer. Always following up with me and constant communications. Within a few days of initial contact, they sent out a tech for inspection on my home and laid out options to combat the termites. I felt he was being real honest and was not out to just sell me a complete house tenting. While out there the tech even gave me verbal estimates for the options. When they sent me the quotes, they kept to what I was told. I got back into my home after the 2 1/2 days and it looked like no one was even there. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't actually see the tent up. I Highly recommend Handytech! read more

Lisa is such a delight to work with. The technicians were polite and courteous with their communication and time windows. Definitely a great company to work with for a good value! read more

Very trustworthy and honest! I've been seeing what looked like termite droppings around my house and contacted a few different companies to get a quote for inspection/treatment. Joel was by far the best! He asked for pictures and then immediately called me back to tell me that I didn't have termite droppings and that they were cricket droppings instead. He told me to try to smash the droppings and if they broke up into powder, they were cricket droppings, and it was true! What a relief!! Another company had looked at the same pictures and told me right away that I'm going to need tenting for termites. As a new homeowner (moved in less than a month ago), it's so stressful when any new big, unexpected expenses come up. Joel alleviated my stress right away when we talked on the phone. I am so grateful that he was honest and saved me some serious and unnecessary extermination costs. I will definitely be coming to Handytech for my routine pest inspection needs. We need more companies like this in the community! read more

I highly recommend Handytech Termite & Pest Control. Joel is very experienced, professional, punctual, communicative and thorough in his work. We are pest free now thanks to his detailed inspection. He follows up to make sure we aren't hearing any more noises from our attic and that we have not noticed anymore droppings. He cleans up after he checks the area and provided us with amazing customer service. We have used his services for multiple properties we have and we couldn't be more pleased with his work. He is passionate about his work and you can trust his knowledge. Joel you are wonderful! Thank you!! read more

Joell is so kind and I could tell from the first time I spoke to him, this was the right company to assist me with my termite problem. Joell's has such a kind spirit which is apparent in his approach. His prices are very reasonable and I wish there were more service providers like him. read more

Joel and staff are remarkable! Great service and follow up. Good pricing and good results. If you need pest control services I highly recommend Handy Tech. read more

I have had Joel out to my house twice now. Both experiences have been superb! His expertise mixed with his friendly and professional demeanor make him someone I'm happy to work with. Both times he has helped me trouble shoot some areas. Both times he did NOT try to upsell me without all of the information and investigating done. Even once some conclusions can be made he is not suggesting that we need to go crazy with all sorts of services and has come up with some creative resolutions. I'm happy to be a repeat customer of a company like this. read more

It's been two weeks since my house was serviced as I wanted to make sure the job was done. The job was done and the process was really satsifying and made me feel secure from the start. I discovered what seemed to be termites in my bathroom which we satisfactorily serviced with another company more than six years ago with additional attendant work, some of which was problematic. I went with Yelp's bid where you write one company and they offer to send the request to several. From the very beginning, Handytech was more concerned with making sure the communication was good. When I hadn't heard from someone, I wrote and someone got right back to me. I had four companies scheduled to come look at the house. The first company (a name I'd heard), came and did a check of the bathroom and offered me a rather high price for the spot treatment, then left. Second was Lorenzo for Handytech who looked at the kitchen and asked to look at the property. An hour later he walked me through the house and yard with a scale drawing of the house and showed me other trouble spots and gave me a rough estimate with a formal bid coming just behind from Handytech. The price seemed fair. The next company came, were equally vigilant about walking the yard and offered both a substantially higher bid with a requirement that certain beams be replaced. I called Lorenzo and asked if they needed to be replaced and he said they didn't, but it could be done for more money. I cancelled the fourth bid and booked Handytech. The service person (Eddie, not Lorenzo) was terrific, was here most of the day, walked me through showing me other issues of concern, not necessarily pest related, suggested I call my roofer for a rafter being pressed my a tree limb (Marty Masterman, my terrific roofer came, charged me nothing, told me to have the gardner make specific trims) and we were done. They followed through, did more than I expected, walked me through and made recommendations. And it was the lowest price bid; the criterion wasn't the bid, the criterion was the integrity. Do two things if you have a pest problem: 1) Send a bid through Yelp; 2) let Yelp send to competitive bids. You will end up with Handytech and you will feel very happy that you did. read more

Contracted through another company while buying a house. We decided to do some spot treatments and Joel came by and did the job. He was very responsive, took time to explain things, and was very polite to my husband. He is a very zen guy who is one with the termites. No problems so far, but will call them again if we need to. read more

Coming back with an update - we have continued recurring pest control services with Joel and he's absolutely amazing! Very thorough each time and very mindful of costs, too. He'll take off things we don't need without us asking. He is always responsive when we have a quick question or concern. Love these guys and very happy with the experience! read more

Unreliable flake misses appointments and doesn't return phone calls. Don't be fooled by reviews.

I've used handy tech about the last six or seven years. I can always count on them for being honest and fair. Their free inspection is most thorough. So far my home has been termite free. They did some rodent exclusion work to keep out rats from entering my attic. Their suggestions are most relevant and useful. If another company "found" termites at your home, I highly suggest you call Handy tech to verify that and to remedy the situation if needed. read more

Joel and Haven came by and offered me a great price for the work that they provided. They were the only exterminator that offered me a price range before the inspection. It was a great service and in total took about 90 mins for my property. All employees wore masks indoor. Special thanks to haven and Joel for the great service keep it up guys. Would recommend. read more

Joel and his team are amazing! Before using Handytech, our landlord had provided a different pest control service for free. However, we still had many bugs getting in with that one. After trying Handytech several years ago, we decided we would rather pay for Handytech than even get a different pest control service for free from the landlord! Handytech are so friendly and reliable, easy to schedule, and they do an excellent job! Our first year living in the area was a nightmare with bugs because of the climate and poor sealing in our apartment. Having Handytech's monthly service has outright increased our quality of life, especially during hot months! Highly recommended. read more

The level of service and kindness I experienced with this company worth way more than five stars. Amazing all the way. Will definitely work again and again with that compnay. read more

Joel has so helpful during a time of stress! I'm in the middle of construction and find out we have termites. I saw the good reviews and immediately called to book a consultation. The office forwarded my call directly to Joel, who had Eddie out the next day. Eddie was great and provided peace of mind. He was knowledgeable and efficient. We booked the service and everything was not only completed in a timely manner, but they were friendly, considerate, and responsive throughout the whole process. I appreciated the prompt communication by Joel and squeezing me in so my construction can resume. I highly recommend this company. read more

We hired this company two years ago to seal up the attic and the rest of the house when we moved in. We were happy with the results, so hired them a second time when we had an issue of mice and rats in the garage. They were unresponsive, showed up with 6-7 mins notice (which means we had to move work meetings), and ultimately did nothing. In fact, when our contractor went into the garage, they found evidence of mice that should have been taken care of. They're supposed to clean and disinfect, but we had to do it ourselves. read more
