Ten years ago, we had a major rodent infestation in our home (attic, subfloor and walls). These…read moreguys came out, sealed our home, cleaned the attic and subfloor areas, re-insulated and did not consider the job complete until there was no more evidence of the infestation. For the last 10 years, we have been rodent free. Recently we had major plumbing work done and some of the sealing work may have been compromised. We called The Original Rodent Proofers to come out and look at the prior job and tell us what needs to be done to re-seal the house. The inspector (Brandon) said that the plumbing contractor did a good job re-sealing but would look at each entry point and make sure that the job from ten years ago was still in good shape. This is being done at no charge since they stand by their work. These guys are a 5 star business.

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.

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!!!!

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. J. - an update Nov 3, 2025, 9am

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.

There's lots of companies out there and maybe even some at a lower price, we've been approached, we stay because of Zach. All five stars go to him! If there's an opportunity for him to be promoted or given a pay increase, I wouldn't mind our monthly price increasing as long as it all goes to Zach. I'm sure other customers would agree.

As someone who recently transitioned from city living to a new home in a more rural setting, I've…read morehad to recalibrate my tolerance for the occasional "nature-related surprise." Hearing scratching in a wall or imagining a mouse indoors is, for me, a five-alarm situation--so finding a reliable, professional pest service was not optional. Smart Pest Pros truly delivered when I needed them most. From the outset, they were responsive, patient, and reassuring--even as I admittedly brought a fair amount of concern to the situation. They conducted a thorough inspection and, importantly, found no active rodent issues. What they did do, however, was just as valuable: they proactively sealed the home to prevent any future entry from mice, birds, squirrels, or other unwelcome visitors. The quality of the work stood out. Everything was completed with a high level of care and attention to detail, and the finished result looks clean and professional--no unsightly patches or obvious fixes. It's clear they take pride not just in effectiveness, but in presentation as well. What impressed me most was their commitment to follow-through. They came out more than once to ensure everything was properly addressed, which provided a level of reassurance that's hard to overstate. Even though my situation turned out to be more preventative than urgent, they treated it with seriousness and respect. For anyone--especially those new to living outside a dense urban environment--I would strongly recommend having them assess and seal your home. Prevention, in this case, is not only practical but incredibly valuable for peace of mind.

With kids and pets, we prefer the ad-hoc visit over a monthly service plan and Jaime does not pressure you into a plan and does a great job solving the problem in one visit and that lasts several years. During his most recent call out, we found an area where rats had chewed through the crawlspace vent. He did an inspection and provided a very reasonable quote (compared to what our neighbors had paid to other providers). It's rare to find a reliable, quality, one-man shop - Jaime at Pestfinders is that diamond in the rough that I can't recommend enough.

First of all, on the first visit, within ten minutes, the technician had spotted an entry point on our roof that was likely the cause of our isse. It wasn't obvious and the previous service we used (one of the larger services in our area) hadn't spotted this. Another thing that I noticed was the respect and care the technician showed at our house. It's a small thing, but when the technician entered our house he noticed that we had shoes by the door and went ahead and removed his shoes when making his way to our attic. Taken all together our technician was detail oriented, respectful, and thorough. And he solved our problem. On top of this the price point was comparable or even less than the larger company that we had used previously. I would highly recommend Pestfinders to others.
