    Absolutely TERRIBLE SERVICE!! First, the technician who…read morecame to complete the inspection for the property provided a quote for the entire building to the owner and tenants. On the day of appointment, they didn't have us scheduled. Then they made adjustments to have Dax come for our appointment, since he completed the inspection and provided the quote. Once he started to do the work, he changed the price at the day of the appointment because he said to the office that he didn't give a quote for the entire building, although 3 separate tenants including the owner was given this price. There wasn't any contract or invoice sent over prior to the appointment, so this displayed faulty business. Secondly, the guys left cement residue on my outdoor mat which demonstrated the lack of care to the customers property. I informed the owner about this and he got very rude and disrespectful about the pricing issue mentioned above when that wasn't our problem. It was the technician Dax who didn't provide us with an accurate quote to be hired for the job. Lastly, the issue that was shared was in the ceiling. Dax advised that the outdoor soil needed to be treated first before they could assess the indoor ceiling issue. This didn't make any sense to me but we obliged to have the soil treated first. Well, less than 7 DAYS, the ceiling issue is back !! I informed Jason about this, and he mentioned that they couldn't come back until the full balance has been covered. Although, this was the main reason why they were hired and should have assessed the ceiling first, they are choosing to have us pay for a service that wasn't completed since the pest issue has reappeared less than 7 DAYS again!! Absolutely TERRIBLE and bad business!!

    Great experience. The service is awesome. Communication is clear and pricing is fair.read more

    I contacted them for fumigation and wood repair. Inspector Eric came and gave a very detailed…read morereport of how many places needed to be repaired. They spent 4 days totally repairing all the wood damaged and 1 day on paint. I want to specially call out that our main carpenter Adrian F. did a great quality job and addressed all of my concerns. There is another carpenter Eric who worked one day with Adrian who also did a good job. The tenting was done and scheduled accordingly. We also had Daniel come in and perform the bora care treatment professionally. There were some hassles in between including the underestimation of number of days that were needed for wood repair. Scheduling issues that 5 days of repair work got scattered into 4 weeks. The first day one carpenter put a dent on my brand new AC unit when he hammered down the fascia board. Also one section of the wood support was not done right, more than 2 rafter tails in a row got cut the roof eave so it was sagging and caused us a panic. They sent their manager to address our concerns and assure that it was corrected and that the correct work would be done. The carpenters fixed the previous mistakes and did great work in the end. So overall not a smooth experience yet I am willing to give it 5 stars because they did honor the original quote, and ended up doing more wood repair than originally quoted as it was discovered during the process. Thus going above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with the work despite the initial issues.

Unfortunately, as a result, many critters came out of their hiding. We had a spider issue both inside and outside our home. We also had ants inside our house for the first time in over 20 years. We searched for a pest control company and after several quotes, we chose Homeshield and it was a wise decision. Though the regular service is quarterly, they will fine as often as needed if any issue arise before the routine service. Our tech, Oliver has been servicing our home from the beginning. He is always punctual, polite, and professional. He addresses all of the issues we point out while he is at our home. The price for their service is fair. Their office is always professional and it is easy to schedule a service, usually within a couple of days of calling. We will continue to use their service for a long time.

    We get a quarterly bug spray because our house always has ants and other creepy crawlers (spiders,…read morecentipedes) especially in the summer months. Since we've been doing this service the amount of ants we get has drastically reduced. Used to get them on a daily basis in the summer and now they only pop up once in a while, I quickly and easily arrange the service and the bugs don't come around for a long time. Traditionally bug sprays and deterrents you buy at the store weren't working for our house in North Torrance which is notorious for ants. Thankful to have the service as I'd previously have to clean the house a lot and make sure there wasn't a spec of food out or accidentally dropped on the floor. Couldn't even leave food in the cupboards, had to have it all in the fridge all summer long before. We also used to get cockaroaches on a weekly basis but since we've started the quarterly cleaning service, I haven't seen a single one in almost 2 years. I love how quick and easy the service is because a lot of times when professionals come to service the house you have to clear your whole day, interrupting your work or whatever you are doing. Dennis and his team get in and out with minimal disruption and make maintaining my house easier. They do a good job!

A real person answered and listened to my concerns. I was given a quote and explanation of what services to expect all in the same phone call. I booked them immediately. Erica came to the first visit, she was very friendly and listened to my concerns regarding the flea infestation. She assured me she would drench the hard and do her best to get rid of the fleas. She explained how long it could potentially take to see results. She continued to come and sure enough the fleas were gone in the timeframe she indicated. I highly recommend Premium because of their great customer service, great employees, and results. Their prices are reasonable and they are even willing to work to create a plan of action that works for you time wise and financially. They always give a courtesy call and/or text prior to coming which helps tremendously for us busy parents.

He blamed me for various things like questioning why he wanted our crawl space 100% open during his trapping. He lied and said he removed and reset traps when he did not. I was home on the days he said he was there, my dog barks, and I checked the trap several times a day. This guy simply was lying about resetting the trap. He abandoned our house completely for 13 days. After a skunk sprayed under our house a second time while Daddys Pest Control was supposedly helping me with the problem, the smell was so bad we couldn't be in half our house for 3 days. I fired him. I hired a much better trapper who in less than 24 hours trapped and removed the skunk for half the price. Basically I paid this man $500 to do nothing, and a different guy $250 to trap and remove a skunk. 2 stars for his responsiveness to the first call and coming out to get the first $500 check and set a trap two or three times with cat food that caught a possum that was not the problem. Zero stars on actually doing what we needed him to do. A competent trapper getting the job done quickly with 24 hours of firing Daddy's Pest Control is all you need to know. He might be great for ants or bugs, but look elsewhere for bigger pests like skunks or rats. I am not trying to kill anyone's livelihood here, but this man is definitely not your guy for skunks or rats.

    If you sort the 1 star reviews for Daddy's Pest Control, you'll see a common theme. A lot of 'he…read moreghosted me," "terrible customer service," "I had to contact him to clean up the rats." Unfortunately this is the experience I had with Daddy's Pest Control. I made the stupid mistake of hiring them a second time for a rat problem after having a pretty lackluster experience with them the first time. I understand that there are issues with my unit but that does NOT excuse the terrible customer service and followup received by this company! My tenants found a dead rat from one of the traps that was set but like the previous reviewer said, they did not come back in a reasonable time period which lead to maggots. The number of excuses for not showing up are endless, "we were on vacation last week," "I'm currently out of town,". I paid for 4 visits but due to the awful customer service and followup, I had to request a refund for the last visit. Over $700+ pretty much down the drain. Got the feeling and vibe that once the money is received, you're sent to the bottom of the priority list and it's onto the next customer.  Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones and have an experience like the 4-5 stars reviews on here. Just be aware, you've been warned, don't be surprised if you have an experience like mine and the other 1 star reviews.... If you're desperate enough, I would highly recommend paying for services on a per visit basis and/or use your credit card in case services aren't up to par/expectations.

I had gotten quite a few quotes from various vendors for tenting and trenching Termidor and Nykor provided a no-tent solution that was priced competively and only a few hundred more than the traditional methods of tenting/ trenching, and they offered the same 2 year guarantee that all the competitors offered. They worked with me to inspect the home and noted their findings and gave me a very clear invoice and quote to my email. I had a good experience for a whole home Termite Service from Tony and Chris, they arrived promptly on 3/31/2026 and proceeded to treat the bare wood areas of my home inside my garage and inside my interior home attict, and also the subteranean area under my home and base boards per their quote. The service took about 2.5 hours and it was relatively painless beyond some overspray clean up on my appliances and lighting fixtures, they were very clear to cover and remove any paper items like books, and I moved everything off the walls for the interior spraying as best I could per the instructions. The service went well, and as it takes time to see if the treatment worked given that they sprayed Termidor, I cleaned up all the frass/ termite droppings i could see in the affected areas and I will ask them to come back next year around this time for an inspection or If i see more activity and once the 2 year guarantee is over, subscribe for them to come back to inspect and do a treatment of any newly affected areas. The only issue was they charged me the wrong price at the end but promptly refunded the amount and charged me properly, which is one of the most honest things I've seen any vendor do, then their payment went through the next day.

    I'd like to update my review since my first stellar review was for the initial estimate process…read moreonly and I said I would update (but forgot). It's been 5 years and we've had plenty of people up in our attic since Rodent Masters completed our job and any time someone goes up there, I beg them to check and double check to ensure there are no rodent droppings. During this time, we have not heard a peep in the attic which is a complete 180 from what we were hearing before - it always sounded like the rats were having a party up there in the middle of the night. The process took about a month from start to finnish because the first thing they do is cover and patch all holes or entrances up so that nothing can get in (or out) and not just outside of the house but inside the attic and inside every single area from within the house. It's a LOT of work but they did it very well. Then, they came back and, in our case, because things were so bad, they sucked out all of the insulation and then reinsulated the entire attic with much higher quality material than what had been removed. Then they came back on final time to ensure there was no activity. So, I have no reason not to continue recommending Rodent Masters and I have for the last 5 years. I do think I will contact them soon though just to have someone do a walk around to ensure there are no new holes that have developed since they were last here. Highly recommend and I'm glad to see that the reviews continue to be outstanding since the one I gave 5 years ago!
