It makes me sad to write this review because I had no issues with Homeshield until a few months ago. I have been a customer of Homeshield for years and have had various services - wood rot treatment, monthly pest and rodent service, rodent exclusion treatment. My parents also have Homeshield service their home because of my referral. I want to make it clear that the technicians who service my house continue to be great. My usual technician is Julio and he's always super friendly, on time, and does a great job. My issues in the last few months pertain only to the call center and billing. In April I was charged for my monthly service even though no technician came out to service my house. I called Homeshield to let them know and they indicated I would not be charged for June. When June came, I was still charged for June so I had to call back to ask once again for money back. The call center indicated that I called too late before they processed the payment so the charge would fall off my July billing. At the beginning of July I called Homeshield to schedule my monthly treatment because I was going to be out of town. I informed the call center that I was going to be out of town and that was the reason for me scheduling my monthly service. The call center was able to get my monthly pest service schedule before I left, the call center did not indicate that I had a separate rodent treatment schedule for July 24. I left the country and while on my trip I got a text that my house would be serviced on July 24. I was pretty confused because I thought I had my house serviced and I even told the call center I would be out of town. Due to the 9 hour time difference I had to tell my brother to call Homeshield to cancel the appointment. On July 22, my brother informed me that he canceled my appointment and notified Homeshield that I would call to reschedule. On July 24, I got a text from the technician that he was about 30 minutes from my house to perform the service. I had to respond via text that I had cancelled my appointment and apologize that the call center did not inform him that I had cancelled. I am not too sure what is causing the breakdown in communication but I honestly feel terrible for these technicians not being informed of things. It also doesn't sit right with me that I have to apologize to the technician not for anything I did, but for the breakdown in communication caused directly by the call center. I also am not sure what is happening with the scheduling since before the no show incident in April I had technicians service my house every single month without issue. Update: Bryana from Homeshield called me on August 5 to learn more about the breakdown in billing, communication, and scheduling. She was really friendly, professional, and apologetic. I felt like she was not calling simply for me to fix my review but actually listened and wanted to make sure that as a customer I felt that things were remedied. She thoroughly explained my services and what Homeshield was going to do to help make everything right. She also informed me that she was going to reach out to my dad to make sure his experience as a customer was great. Overall, I am really happy with how Homeshield handled remedying the situation to ensure that I continued to receive better services in regards to billing and scheduling. read more

Just found out today that I have been continuing to be charged for services that are not rendered. We're in the middle of a huge landscape upgrade and didn't need any service for past couple of months. I had mentioned to Darla to skip service because of this, and will resume when ready. But just noticed that I have been continued to be auto charged ($87 each time) good thing I looked as I was getting ripped off. Very surprised of this as I'd mentioned this for multiple months to get ahead of this situation and give HomeShield as much communication as possible. It is crappy feeling to have my money taken like that I called in and spoke with Luca and he was helpful in telling me that I'll get credited back for 2 months, and will have CC on hold so not charged. That made me feel good. He said I'd get confirmation email in a few minutes but it's been nearly 2 hours and no email and my CC still showing no credit/refund. They are happy to auto charge me, but cannot accommodate their current customers with the ability to pause service, causing additional headache for me I'll see if there is anything worth updating if/when it happens. otherwise will go straight to credit card company and dispute charges...I don't have time to keep going back to HomeShield to check if they did their work right Still considering if I will continue with HomeShield once I need service again; but I figure I'll have better choice when that time comes UPDATE: after reading other review of not being able to cancel service, I called right back and spoke with Patricia. I asked to cancel service, but she could not do so and had to transfer me to other department and ask me to hold for "2 minutes". After 2 minutes, she came back on saying no one could talk to me to cancel. Seriously?? I asked if I can get her my verbal authorization to relay my cancel message to someone. No can do, so I have to wait for someone to call me back so I can say "CANCEL" really frustrated now... read more

After my complaint about 2 no-shows- I have to hand it to the company-They really made a huge effort to make us happy. Multiple customer service folks contacted my wife and made everything right. they got someone out ASAP to handle our spider issue - the gentleman was a great and thorough and now Hopefully everything's on the right track! read more

Marcos was awesome today! We've been using them for couple years now and haven't had any issues with ants. They did appear inside this summer and Home shields is promptly addressing it with indoor treatment. read more

Marcos was very knowledgeable and thorough with our recent ant invasion service. He explained everything he was doing and is also planning a follow up call next week to make sure it worked. read more

HomeShield Pest Control does not do free inspection and provide quote if you do not give them your email address. Never heard any company who do not want to get your business if you do not have an email address. After publishing above review. I received a phone call from Bryana and she was able to schedule the inspection without email. I appreciate HomeShield correcting the issue promptly. Changing my rating from 1 start to 4 star. read more

Saw some "friends" in a bathroom and the garage. A tech came out and walked us through the steps to resolve our issue. The price was competitive and the service is great. We decided to go with a bi monthly service to control for pests. read more

I definitely went with the right business, no disappointments, very informative honest, and it couldn't be more true that you get what you paid for. Amazing Service and Work and worth every Penny. read more

This service was AMAZING! We've used another pest control company in the past and the service is night and day! They came out, made a thorough inspection and then provided an estimate. It was definitely pricey but in my opinion, worth it for peace of mind. Their work was thorough and they've followed up several times. Would highly recommend this company to anyone. read more

Great service by Marco, he came at 830ish on 7/10/26. He educated me on what to expect and was very nice. He put bait out, he sprayed the perimeter of the house. Overall excellent service. This guy took his time dewebbing, spraying, he found two large wasp nests and sprayed them. He identified the type of pest we had. Awesome smile, upbeat, ready to work. I would ask for him everytime going forward if possible. He did thorough work. He encouraged me to reach out if there is any issues with our pests. read more

The techs always do a great job and are communicative about arrival time and post-appointment updates. Today we had Darla and she even sent photos after. Since hiring Homeshield we've not seen a single cricket or cockroach inside and spiderwebs are always cleaned. I've never had to request a service in between treatments so I think it's working. Thank you! read more

Should up on time , tech went right to work . Pointed out all the issues before and the fix when it was done . Very professional and nice

Sean Hull who did the service today was amazing. He cleaned up and down and in the yard. He cleaned every corner of the house and even left me a few device for ants. In the yard, he even cleaned the frames of the windows and the awning of the patio ceiling. Excellent work. read more

Absolutely horrifying experience. We had an urgent ant issue and couldn't get in touch with anyone to address it. Called the 5 different numbers we've collected over the course of time to get in touch with the office and was on hold for 8-15 minutes each time with the horrible hold music, then the system would hang up on me. I texted our regular tech as well but never received a response. Once I finally got a call back from the office, days after trying, I was told the next day available was about a week out. Come to find out from a rep, our regular tech has not been with the company for months (which explains why the service has seemed to decrease in quality lately, leading to more ants) but no one shared that information with me or my husband. They were just sending random new faces to our home. After being infested with ants for days, a young lady finally comes to service us. She was very knowledgeable and worked with us servicing each crack inside and out. While speaking with her I shared that I hoped she was our new tech moving forward. She then let me know that even though she just started with the company, she was submitting her resignation and was unsure who would be taking over our account. This is deeply concerning and I cannot keep having new faces pop up at my property without advance notice. This is where me and my children live and having a company who cannot seem to keep their employees for more than a few weeks or at a consistent basis is concerning and creates worries surrounding security for the property as these people are strangers. I'm unsure of what Homeshield does to their employees to make them leave, but I want no parts with the inconsistency or possible mistreatment of these technicians. Because of this, my husband will be calling to cancel services soon. We need a company that upholds integrity inside and outside the office. read more

We called them three times using the choices in the telephone menu as current customers, no person answered. We left messages and nobody called us. I tried to call again two times and when I selected new customer in the menu, a person answered us right away. The scheduler do not coordinate with their thechician. We got scheduled on a Friday to do the inspection and treatment but no technician showed up. When I called, I chose the new customer menu to make sure a person will answer, I was told the schedule was changed from May 29 to June1. Nobody sent us message that it was re scheduled. We only found out when I called. Their pricing is also expensive. I found out from my friend that ther pest control do the following visits every two months. But Home Shield do it only every quarterly and their price for initial treatment is a lot expensive even with the discount. There is a penalty if we discontinued the subscription in less than a year. I will not get their service again. I get their service because of their reviews. That is not accurate reviews. read more

Time and again, Julio from HomeShield Pest Control has provided excellent service to our entire household. Julio listens carefully to my concerns and he demonstrates a good understanding of what I would like addressed. Julio always has great solutions and is very thorough with his service followup. I would recommend Julio to anyone who is looking for an excellent representative for home services read more

Friendly warning: If you sign up for the annual service it will auto-renew after a year and you can't cancel online. And you will have to call to cancel, pay a $150 charge for early cancellation, and they will use salesy tactics to try to keep you on and paying. The service itself was good though, and everyone is very professional. I just can't recommend them because of the negative cancellation experience. This would have been 5 stars otherwise. read more

Hector V. has been our technician from HomeShield Pest Control for a little over a month, now, and we could not be happier with his professionalism, his service, or the results he has achieved. Hector has always been prompt and thorough. He has accomplished more toward solving our problem in the past five weeks than our prior company was able to do in a year. He achieves measurable results and is very easy to work with. I have no hesitation in giving Hector, and HomeShield. my highest recommendations. read more

Jose did a very thorough job of spraying for ants & spiders, paying special attention to the areas my husband pointed out as problematic. He also took care of the mosquito and rodent traps. We highly recommend HomeShield! Thank you, Jose! read more

Darla from HomeShield Pest Control has been an excellent technician. She arrives on time and does a thorough job. I am satisfied with this company and their service and will continue as their customer. read more

Great company from the beginning inspection (Sebastian L) to the completed work. Competitive pricing and quality services. We hired them specifically for termite wood repair work. See attached image for a fraction of the work they completed. Very satisfied and would highly recommend! Quick shoutout to the crew and workers: Office - Carmen L Inspector - Sebastian L Wood Crew - Ignacio M, Dario G, Adrian T, Juan T read more

Took a couple trips but bugs seem to be gone. Price seems fair. Communication has been good

We had what we believed to be a mite inspection at our house. Rich and Hector showed up, inspected our house and provided us with plenty of options to remedy the situation. Overall the experience with Homeshield was solid. From scheduling to communication on the estimate and arrival. They gave us some options but also suggest ways we can remedy our bird mite problem ourselves. I always appreciate the honesty. Would highly recommend them for any service. read more

Been using home shield for a while now and they are great! Easy to make appointments and always text ahead to let me know when to expect them. Today Darla was on time but patient when i needed a few extra minutes to get things settled before she could spray. She was efficient but quick! read more

Jon was very knowledgable about the termites and rodents we were concerned about. He presented a detailed proposal with options for us to examine. He was always prompt with replies to our questions and did not pressure us into a decision. Thank you Jon. read more

Technician John was a delight to work with. He did a thorough examination of my property and gave me a clear understanding of what needed to be done with no pressure!! The cost is certainly reasonable. I'm happy to recommend this company. read more

We've used Homeshield for a couple of years now to get regularly scheduled pest treatments. I love that their pesticides are pet friendly, which was the main reason we picked them. We get them for whenever we have pests we visibly see and are concerned for infestations, and even when we don't and just want preventative measures. Their technicians have been amazingly helpful--our latest technician was Matt and he was so accommodating despite a scheduling issue (more on that in a bit) and explained how our recent issue with ants would get fixed. I've loved every technician we've had as they've been respectful and treatments have been effective. The one star I'd take off now years later despite keeping them for years is for the office folks. Any time we've called to get support with scheduling, we just haven't had the best experiences. Our latest one was after we recently moved. We called to change our address and get an initial service at our new home, and despite us double checking, they put in the wrong address, sending our technician to treat the wrong house. When we called this issue out, the person on the phone didn't really do much to rectify the situation, despite this issue not being our fault. We asked if there was any way our technician could come back or anyone could come sooner than a few days later due to the more urgent issue we wanted resolved. On top of that, this appointment was already rescheduled without really checking with us if it worked for us. To be honest, I do love the techs they've sent, the quality of the work, and the fact that their chemicals are safe for pets that I don't really want to look for someone else to do this for us. Dealing with the office/scheduling folks has not been the funnest... but if you do it just as a one off or when you do it more regularly that's more routine, it's definitely not bad since you don't have to reach out to them as much. read more

Home shield got rid of the rat infestation in our backyard. This was not an easy task as it involved cleaning up the nests the rats made inside the outdoor kitchen, trapping and baiting. The response was prompt. The cost was reasonable. The technicians are knowledgeable and professional. They are also honest. Recently I asked for an estimate for a mite problem and was advised to wait it out, instead of expensive treatment. I highly recommend this company. read more

Jorge sent a message that he was in his way... did a terrific job getting rid of spiders and rats!!! Can't wait to see him in 2 months!!

HomeShield gave me a great quote. Everything was explained carefully and they even helped me bag up food and make sure everything was ready for fumigation. No one likes to have their house tented, but it is necessary at times, and HomeShield did a great job read more

WOW! WOW! WOW! I am beyond impressed with this company. I researched companies online as we were having an ant and spider issue (we live on a canyon in San Diego so they are quite prominent). I wanted to work with a family owned business and not a corporate conglomeration. HomeShield seemed like the right fit. So I called. I was immediately working with the nicest person ever on the phone, who asked very detailed questions and learned about the home history, and issues I was having. I was able to schedule service that same week. The technician who showed up was equally as professional and caring. He made sure he was VERY THOROUGH and he explained everything to me and told me that he would follow up via text message (he did!!!!) and HomeShield home office also called, left voicemails and did excellent follow up work too. So far, the ants and spiders both are now gone. (after only ONE treatment). I've signed up for quarterly treatments so that the house is protected. I cannot say enough good things about this company. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone who has issues with pests. It's very hard to find companies that follow up with you, let along care about you as a person. This company does all that, and more. Thank you and please continue doing the same level of customer service that you do now. It's amazing! read more

Termite inspection and extinguisher. It was done within 2 hours of me accepting his offer. It was half of what 4 others offered! It's been a few weeks and no sign of termites. He was efficient, neat and very friendly. I highly recommend him. read more

Rafael showed up on time, was very professional and did a great job along with his partner and taking care of the exclusion work we needed as well as checking mouse traps that they had set up the week prior. So glad we found such a great and reliable company to take care of all of our indoor and outdoor pests. Definitely recommending to our friends and family nearby. read more

The price was extremely reasonable and very quick to answer and take care of you. You won't go wrong using this company, ask for Aaron. read more

I will not be using HomeShield Pest Control due to what I consider an attempt at a high pressure sales technique instead of just answering my initial question. Most companies will tell you what their minimum trip charge is, but not HomeShield! Below is the communication between me and HomeShield via the Yelp app. ******************************* I have two areas on the ceiling of my covered porch that I think might be the beginning of a wasp nest. They are both a very small elongated tube ...about 1/2 the length of my middle finger. What is your charge to take a look and then get rid of them if they are from wasps. 8/19/2025, 8:19 AM Ian M. Hey Sandra, we'd love to help you get rid of the hornets or wasps! What's the best phone number for one of our experts to reach you on? 8/19/2025, 11:16 AM Could you provide a quote please? Ian M. We are offering our lowest prices on Yelp to get started right now. Here's a general quote for service: (Prices may vary depending on pest issue and size of home.) Quarterly Service: (4 scheduled visits during the year) Initial treatment: normally $300 YOUR PRICE: $55 Monthly price: $55 -100% year round satisfaction guarantee -We are local and family owned with 16 years of experience! -Collectively, we have the most 5 star reviews on YELP than any other pest company in the US! -All products are pet and family friendly! Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to get scheduled! Is your quote for today $55? I do not want to sign up for continuing service 11:23 AM Ian M. Our one-time service would be $399 with a 30-day warranty! UPDATE ON MY INITIAL REVIEW - Still rate the company * one star. I got the following response from the owner: Ian M. Hi Sandra! Thank you for the review and feedback. My name is Ben and hopefully I can make your experience with us better. Sometimes when communicating via chat, it can be hard to explain all the details of the service and pricing. I hope I am able to add some clarification. As a company we do not want to pressure anyone into using us. At the end of the day, we hope to deliver a high quality service that people need and appreciate. When it comes to our seasonal plan and the quote we gave you, we discount the initial service when someone signs up on an ongoing plan. That's why we sent the quote with the $55 initial. Normally it is $300. For a one time service, we charge the normal price, $300, plus $99 since it comes with a 30 day warranty. We understand that each person has different preferences and needs, and we try our best to do what we can to help. I would love to connect more to see how we can turn your 1 star experience into a 5 star one. Is there a time this week we could talk more over a call? -Ben HERE IS MY RESPONSE: I was very clear in the beginning about what my needs are...come to my house one time and identify what creatures made the two very small dirt tunnels on the roof of my porch and tell me what would be the charge to remove them. I did not ask for, nor do I need or want a seasonal plan...to quote $300 for a one time visit when even you do not know what is needed is outrageous. I have hired another pest company for $75 to come out, identify and remove the two small tunnels and I have not changed my mind about your business practices. read more

I was fighting the ant wars for about a week when I realize you can, though I want a few battles, I was not going to win the war. I then turn to yelp to find someone to assist me with my battles. I was contacted by HomeShield Pest Control and they were able to send a technician (Darla) to my place within a couple of hours. When she arrived, which was promptly, she asked for a assessment of the situation and then proceeded to go to work While she was working, she took the time to explain the process, and I felt assured that the ant wars would be coming to an end. Darla was professional, courteous, polite and knowledgeable. She was not invasive and simply did her job which made the experience that much more appreciated. Thank you Darla for a job well done! read more

Homesheild was great! They followed up a couple times and made sure I knew what was included in the service. I was dealing with SO many spiders, reached out on Wednesday and Jorge came out on Friday. Service was amazing, made sure everything was taken care of, and pricing was very reasonable. My parents are even going to switch to homesheild from their provider. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Home shield charging me $85 and month and then in June I have an ant infestation in my backyard yard and they would only credit me one month of service!!! Such a total rip off and terrible service!!! Do not use them it's a terrible service and company read more

Thank you fellow Yelpers for all the great reviews here. I reached out to Home Shield because our former exterminator sold his business. Every year we get ants without delay in the month of August. Once again they made their pilgrimage to our home. I asked for a quote and call, they responded very quickly and within 3 days were at our home doing their work. They have a 30 day guarantee so I may have to call them back because these ants are highly motivated!!!! I recommend this company and I will definitely use them again. read more
