I have been a customer of mann vs pest for many years now and I have been 100% happy for the service that I receive. As a matter of fact on a few occasions where I have had some termites and just recently found some fly larva I was given amazing advice from Gisele and I appreciate her so much. She could have said, oh yes! We need to come out right away! But she guided me and she helped me through the situation and I will be a life long client of theirs read more

Verbal Abuse! I discovered piles of termite feces in one of my kitchen cabinets, reported it to my apartment manager, was instructed to vacate my apartment to avoid exposure to the pesticide. On Oct 22, 2025, Jonathan, from Mann vs Pest, inspected my kitchen cabinets, and proceeded to punch holes, with a screwdriver, into the adjacent wall. I asked Jonathan, why put poison into the wall, when the termites are in the cabinet? He said that he "knows what he's doing!" I asked whether I should vacate my apartment. Jonathan said "no!" I called Mann vs Pest for clarification... On Nov 5, 2025, Jonathan from Mann vs Pest returned to my apartment because I found new evidence, termite feces, in another cabinet. When Jonathan entered my apartment, he loudly stated "SO, you're the one that's been COMPLAINING about me!" I said that I was not complaining! I simply called his office to get more information. Jonathan started shouting at me, and became hostile toward me. I asked, "why are you shouting?" "Are you angry with me? He didn't answer. He continued drilling holes into the cabinet. I was totally shocked by his behavior, and I froze, not knowing how to deal with this situation. A stranger in my apartment, screaming at me! This crazy person, screaming, "YOU BETTER CLEAN UP THIS MESS!!!" Referring to the termite feces, and wood particles from him drilling into my kitchen cabinet. Jonathan, about to leave, shouted, "IF YOU STILL HAVE TERMITE PROBLEMS, YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE!" I immediately called Mann vs Pest, and the gal that answered the phone was concerned about jonathan's behavior. She said that the supervisor was gone for the day, but she would ask him to contact me tomorrow. Nov 6, 2025, no call from the supervisor, so I called their office. A different gal answered the phone this time, she was very dismissive, and seemed to be protective of Jonathan. She didn't want to hear anything about his behavior. I asked to speak to the supervisor, and I was told that he is out of town... What do I do next? Do I have legal recourse? How am I allowed to protect myself in my home? read more

June 9...It was my first (hopefully last!) issue with months of bugs and being bitten. VERY stressful. This company could not have done better in helping me! I was SO impressed by their immediate response, how they sprayed and looked at all options. EXCELLENT service!!! read more

Excellent company. My apt was treated for mice. The Technician checked inside & outside for cracks. Set traps around my apt. So far no mice. After catching 16. Wow! You won't be disappointed. I'm praying that we won't have anymore pests problems. read more

Update: a technician from the new pest control company I hired said he used to work at mvp and confirmed that they don't have enough technicians to service all the customers they have, and they put up 18 houses on a route a day. He said they know the techs can only service maybe a third of the houses on a route, and they just skip services to the others, and that this is PART OF THEIR BUSINESS MODEL! I'm so mad, cause I actually ended up paying them MORE for a more frequent service because I just thought the mice were really bad. They robbed me of hundreds of dollars over the years. SCAMMERS! STAY AWAY! read more

They are very unprofessional. First I called and no one answer the phone then I called again and no one answer the phone again so then I called a fifth time and finally someone picked up and a rude lady answered as if I was bothering her to do her job. I asked her if she had a time estimate for the pest control guy because I had my kids with me and I know I have to stay out of the house for a couple of hours so I just wanted to know and she said I don't know...lol .... Sooooooo ok what's the point of customer service? Never again. Hire this place if you want troubles in your life. read more

Mann vs Pest is the best pest control company I have ever worked with! We hired them when selling our house to replace wood rot and to have our house tented for termites for clearance. They had the best pricing, they were so professional - Geselle at their office was SUPER helpful! - they were able to quote and schedule the work ASAP and their work was top notch! Our wood rot was pretty bad and I couldn't believe how good of work Luis did to repair. I would HIGHLY recommend, especially if you are selling your house - one less stressful thing to worry about. Thank you!!!!!! read more

Very reliable and professional, I have dealt with many pest control companies but no one does the job like Mann vs Pest!

If I could give zero stars, I would. These jokers did the termite inspection for the escrow on my house when I bought it 5 years ago. They cleared it. I just had to have my house tented due to extreme termite infestation & damage. They said there was over EIGHT years' worth of damage. What the heck? DO NOT let these guys inspect your house. read more

RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At the beginning of the Coronavirus we started having rat issues. We hired these people to do repairs on our house to ensure nothing, especially rats, could enter our house. We also paid for the to trap and remove the rats. Not only did they NOT do the job, they would not return our phone calls. The technician went so far as to text us telling us he retired. Now that is a serious ghosting situation. read more

I've had a contract for pest control with MVP for 10 years. MVP has the best prices and their staff members are always helpful, polite and courteous. The office manager Geselle Diaz is amazing, she's been with the company in all the 10 years I've been their client-- knowledgeable, sympathetic, and goes the extra mile to help me provide my tenants excellent customer service. Services used in the past: cockroach sprays, spider sprays, exterior sprays, inspection for mice access/entry areas, and canine bedbug inspections. read more

The communication from Mann vs Pest was outstanding. I asked a lot of questions from start to finish, and they were patient to answer each question and were quick to follow through. read more

Absolutely horrible service! Completely rude, and NO care for safety of others. Do not recommend to anyone. Would put zero stars if I could.

I have used and I have referred this company to others several times. The employees have always been professional the office staff have always been very helpful and they're budget friendly. Completely knocked out a roach infestation at a complex o was living at. Would highly recommend read more

I am so very glad I tried this company. The MOST affordable pest control company out there. Very friendly office staff and very friendly and knowledgeable technicians. Tio and Tim were prompt and did a more than Excellent job on my house. They found and fixed things I hadn't noticed. Not only did they treat my house for termites but they also did the repairs. A One stop Shop. I didn't have to hire two companies! Needless to say, I AM A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER G. Moore Chula Vista read more

Excellent customer service, Geselle responds to all my requests as soon as she received them. Dave does an amazing job treating units . Whenever I need any services MANN vs PEST is always ready and available to help. Makes my job easier and truly love working with this company. read more

I've never had a problem with this service, and this is my 3rd maybe 4th year in a row using them. They are always on time and courteous, both on the phone and in person. I haven't shopped around, but their prices seem fair to me, and they offer a 30 day guarantee on their services, so if the problem remains (even in the slightest) they will come back out and respray- no questions, no hassle. read more

The Staff at MVP were attentive to my parents need. They needed to get fumigation done & wasted no time to come out & inspect the house. They communicated very well as to what we needed to do & what the game plan would be. After the fumigation, repairs needed to be done & they arrived early in the next morning to start working. MVP worked diligently & took take care of business. Prices are competitive! Thank you MVP! read more

So, our Apartment Complex which is ( NORTHPARK PROPERTY ) called them to come out and check our Issue out we are CURRENTLY DEALING with AGAIN ( last Year we had the same ISSUE at those APARTMENTS ). The GUY who came out ( I am not mentioning his name ) ,came out with only ONE MOUSE TRAP and could not answer any QUESTIONS!!! REALLY !!! Why would you send an Employee to a Client's Home with only 1 Mouse TRAP, when You know what Your Appointments for ( work order ) ?????. The Apartment it self ,is a other STORY ...... and NOT A GOOD one ... but you can look " North Park Properties " up for yourself , if you like . So, far I would not recommend that SERVICE, let's see if they call me back tomorrow and we go from there. #SecondChance read more

MVP performed a 3-day termite fumigation at our multi-unit condo HOA property. The owner, Ron, was thorough and easy to work with. Andrew and Jamaya are also exceptional employees adept at customer service. It was a pleasure to work with them and they made the stressful process bearable. I would recommend without hesitation. read more

This company is top notch. I would recommend them 100% and continue to use for my family's future pest control needs. Jerome and his guys were very professional explaining everything from beginning to end making my family feel comfortable in what we thought of as an embarrassing Situation. With follow up by the owner himself and Trained dogs that reassured the job was done right Thanks you Mann vs Pest read more

If I could give 0 stars or a negative star rating I would. Do not do not do not do not do not ever call this company to come and spray for any pests, find someone else. They are late to appointments, they dont follow up and their treatments don't work. The unprofessionalism is 5 stars. read more

Spraying occurred at 5pm for black widows, found dead black widow on front doorstep upon my arrival back home at 9:30pm... I'd say it worked! Quick, professional communication. Highly recommend! read more

MANNvsPEST - They came for black widows... and within 4 hours this (dead) one appeared. Mission accomplished. - Pest Control Near Me - San Diego, California

I have never experienced bad enough service from any business to merit creating a yelp account to write a scathing review... until now. I honestly don't want anyone to have to waste as much of their time as I did only to be disappointed before the service even had a chance to begin. I used the "contact me" page on Mann vs Pest's website to request a quote for a beg bug problem and to schedule an inspection (since that seems to be a prerequisite part of the treatment process). The owner Ron called me back within one day, on a Saturday, so I was initially impressed. He said he was out of town but would be back Sunday night and he would call me when he got in so we could schedule an inspection for Monday. He never called on Sunday. I figured most likely he just got in later than anticipated and courteously did not want to call late, so I was not upset. I assumed he would call Monday morning. But he did not call Monday morning. He did not call Monday at all. In the evening, I emailed him to ask if he was still available to do an inspection. He called me back on Tuesday and we agreed on Wednesday evening. I said I would be at work, but if he could give me 20 minutes notice, I could run home to meet him there. So he said "alright, 4... 5... 6pm, I'll call you," which sounded a big ambiguous, but I could see how it could be hard to keep a tight schedule in a business like this. I did not get a call on Wednesday until past 6:30pm, at which point he said he didn't want to come because traffic at this time would make it take forever - get this - for him to get home afterwards. Typically your customer would be concerned that it would take you forever to DO the inspection that you said would get done between 4 and 6pm, not about how late you get home. In the act of complaining about how awful traffic is at that hour, he grumbled about how several of his clients are up in Rancho Santa Fe, mentioning that they are (presumably because of their location) "clients that I'd rather not have." Not a good sign when the person supposedly trying to win your business is whining about other customers. At any rate, he said he would be "knocking on [my] door at 10am tomorrow morning" and that he'd call me when he was leaving the office. That would get me to work much later on Thursday than I'd like, but I thought at least if I am his first stop in the morning, he couldn't stand me up again. I thought wrong. He didn't call me by 10am. He didn't call by 11am. By 11:30 I was so angry I called another company and made an appointment with them despite their rough estimate price being significantly higher. (If I can't trust Ron to call or show up, why would I trust the price he quoted me anyways?) In fact, Ron NEVER called me that day. Or the day after. I haven't heard from him since. If he didn't want to take on new clients in North County because of their location, he should have just said so. I lost hours of work Thursday morning, and I lost hours of productive time Wednesday evening because I didn't want to start into a project that I would be unable to stop in the middle if he had called. He clearly knew he would be late; he could have at least taken the courtesy to call and tell me so before nearly 7pm. A completely disappointing and frustrating experience, and I can't even vouch one way or another for his actual pest control services. For anyone interested, the company I ended up calling was Thrasher Termite & Pest Control. So far they have been extremely courteous and attentive, and were able to squeeze in an inspection last-minute into their schedule that same afternoon! What a breath of fresh air after my Mann vs. Pest frustration. read more

Mann vs Pest has visited my house six time to remove a flea infestation. Six times MvP has sprayed and I still get flea bites after a month passes. I bought a flea trap, and behold, fleas are still here. Once I had the same exterminator as before, but otherwise it is a new person who has no idea of the history of failures. I plead/beg with them to do a good job, tell them how crazy flea bites have driven me and yet...nothing. Why would I keep going back? My landlord has a contract with them and they don't want to bring in anyone else. If you have the choice, go elsewhere. MvP if you are reading this I am totally willing to change this review if you do get rid of the fleas before I find a place to move to. read more

Ron and his crew have been working on my property now over 4 years. They have gone out of there way in many situations to get things done here. Even today, Oh thank goodness were they available when I completely forgot to schedule them for a unit. Not that this will always happen but just an example of them looking out for the customer. I am happy to have MannVsPest... Ron, Giselle and Ken are the top dogs!!! Thank you guys for all your hard work. read more

The worst experience of my life. My entire complex was tented and got robbed, some of the places were "broken into" with actual broken windows and signs of forced entry, some without. Leading it to seem like the actual people who did the job and not a set of bandits that just so happened to have gas masks and the equipment necessary to be able to enter the building while being tented, while knowing the location and time of the tenting.. The Supervisor Ray blames a lack of work from private security. I feel like the finger should be more pointed back in the direction of his so trusted "team of 5." read more

I have used the services of Mann vs Pest for over 6 years at the apartment buildings that I managed. I have worked directly with Ron and have had exemplary service not to mention the office staff (Giselle and Jerome). They have serviced all the properties regularly in addition to treatment for fleas, roaches and bed bugs. The service has always been on time and I have had the residents comment on their great customer service with scheduling directly with occupied units. I was pleased with their prices and service and highly recommend using them. read more

Mann Vs Pest was very easy to work with and made fighting pests so easy for me. I didn't have to do anything they did all the work and were very thorough. The prices were the best I could find wich is always a good thing read more

It's so easy to take the time to write a bad review when you are upset, but very difficult to make time to write a good review when you are pleased with a company. I am so pleased with my service with this company that today, I'm taking the time.... I called Mann Vs. Pest after we discovered a flea infestation in our home when we returned back from our summer vacation (SOOO nice to come home to!). Ron took my call, gave me a fair quote, and we scheduled an appointment for the very next day. When he arrived at our home (on time) he was very professional and explained clearly and concisely what to expect during the elimination process. He explained that because of the hot, humid weather this year that I was not alone and he was very busy. He explained that the chemical solution worked on infant and adult fleas but because carpet covers most of our floors, that one treatment might not get rid of the problem because if there are any flea eggs down deep in the carpet, the chemicals would not get rid of them- but we'd keep our fingers crossed. I had to remove my husband (who works from home), our kids, dog and goldfish from the house before he started straying (and we all needed to stay out of the home for 4-5 hours). We did. I'm happy to say that even though I did see a few stragglers jumping around a few days after the treatment, no one in the family was bit again, and I haven't seen any since! All for a VERY good price. Thank you Mann Vs. Pest of ridding our flea problem! I would HIGHLY recommend them for any of your pest control needs. Sincerely, Leslie A. read more

This company has come to my apartment twice in the last month to get rid of ants, only for the ants to come back the next week. I keep my house pretty clean and whatever they are using is just not working. I'm not happy! read more

The owner is completely unprofessional, and he hires thieves. The man is also immature for being an older gentleman. If you was the job done right, and your possessions intact, then pick another company. Almost any other company would be better. read more

I'd be hard pressed to find a ruder office staff. The pest control guy parked in a no parking zone at my complex, thereby blocking the wheelchair access ramp and blocked a bus of disabled seniors from their normal drop off point. I called the office, reported his truck number and asked them to request that he park in the myriad of available parking spaces rather than parking in a no parking zone. The woman who answered the phone was unbelievably rude and instructed me to complain to our apartment management as opposed to the company the guy actually worked for. Two hours later, he was back and again parked in front of the building, effectively blocking several disabled people, including myself as I was moving in. I'm a cancer patient currently undergoing chemotherapy. I'm moving into a new apartment and it would never have crossed my mind to park in front of the building thereby hampering the disabled and senior residents. Once again, I called Mann vs. Pest office and the same rude woman answered the phone. Once again, she instructed me to "complain to the apartment management" as opposed to deal directly with her office. I asked her if she really wanted me to complain about her company to our management and she replied "Yes!". I'm astounded at how entitled the driver was and at the complete and utter lack of empathy exhibited by the woman who was representing this company. I would avoid them at all costs. read more

I battled with disgusting roaches in my apartment for 8 months... My complex used this place ribbit something. Which was a waste of time to do, i called the guy and said that the spray he used was only good for 2 weeks and he could not guarantee that the roaches would be gone and long a behold i ended with more roaches (so gross). So I pleaded and begged my landlord to try Mann vs Pest because of friends who live in another property but managed by the same place as mine used them and said she loved them. Meanwhile i cleaned and kept food out of sight swept mopped...i tried every way to get those things away from my family sooo after many pleads and request i found out Mann vs Pest was approved and could come out that Monday and Jared came by and sprayed, the next morning i saw DEAD roaches i was so happy that those nasty things were dying left and right. I haven't seen a roach since... But for my own sanity i will have them come again and spray since i know roaches have eggs and I don't want to chance it....but overall I am happy and so is my husband since im not on his case about every little thing in the kitchen.... i hope this was helpful and that they can help you with your pesky pests that belong NOT in your home. read more

During escrow on the purchase of a home, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services ordered a pest inspection on behalf of me the buyer. I personally did not have any say (in retrospect, I wish I had) in who they were going to use for the pest inspection. I received the pest inspection and found several areas that the pest inspector Andrew J. Hannegan, had missed. During my home inspection, the inspector and I found areas that were marked by Andrew and several more areas that had no markings. I initially thought that the inspector had found enough evidence that he was going to recommend fumigation and just report the areas that require repair. However, upon review of the report, there was never any mentioning of areas and no mentioning of fumigation, just local spot treatment. Some of the areas that were missed were the front window seal of the house (I don't know how this could have been missed, its one of the first areas you see), mouse/rat droppings in the attic, what appears to have been a nest of mice/rats in the attic, old wasps nest in the attic, termite activity throughout the attic that was only mentioned in one area, etc. What it appears is that this inspector did not perform his job as thorough as he should have. I have called ManVsPest and spoke with Andrew. He had no explanations other than he did not recommend fumigation because the roof is aluminum. After serving on a board for an HOA and seeing hundreds of reports from several other pest inspections, they ALWAYS recommend fumigation as the primary means of killing out the termite activity in the home. These reports are always followed by a possible heat treatment and finally followed by a spot treatment. I understand that every time you see termites that you don't require a fumigation, but when you see activity throughout the house and the last fumigation was over 10 years ago, then it seems like that should have been the right answer. Andrew stated he would get in contact with Berkshire Hathaway and perform a re-inspection. Upon final receipt of this report, I may update my review. Update 5/14/2015 Andrew never followed through on his promise and it appears never treated anything that was found in the attic. As I had expected, I've closed escrow in the house and now within two weeks am having the house treated again. read more

Having purchased a home that needed termite remediation, we were very pleased with the professional approach of their handling of the home's problems. We were concerned about the tile roof and the tenting of the property, but with their insurance, we were protected in the event tiles were broken. The crew that repaired the tiles were also very professional and all work done by MVP was done according to timeframes. They showed up as expected and did all work as expected. Their prices were very competitive and we are happy to write a positive review for them. read more
