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.

Before hiring, I had asked my local mom's group, local raves and rants page and Nextdoor... these…read morefolks came up as highly recommended. So we interviewed them for the job. The guy who came out was on time, a bit eccentric and very passionate about rats. He was detail oriented and did a great job explaining the job and its breakdown. Unfortunately on the day of the job, we had 4 guys come to our home on time- but none of them spoke English. Now, I appreciate them coming out, but we just could not communicate and they did not have work trucks or shirts with their company name. An hour later, we had a younger guy show up and he spoke English. The crew worked really fast, did a nasty job of removing our rodent infested insulation and put in new insulation, they mixed concrete and patched up some holes as well and put out rat traps. They came back twice to check the traps and removed them. I think they did a good job, appreciate their punctuality. But management should always send someone who speaks some English and provide a company truck or at least shirts. I personally felt uncomfortable letting into my home a group of random men with no identification.

I open the car door, like a *punch* in the *face*, the stench hits me-- it's almost as if it had *gained* strength throughout the night..." - Jerry Seinfeld da Scene: It's not in our car... it's in the HOUSE!! Friday night and we get a faint smell of "rotting garbage" wafting occasionally throughout the house, just every now & then, fleeting. We do a cursory check of the garbage cans and anywhere there might be food. Saturday the smell is bit more pronounced, kind of more in the kitchen/dining room area. We had a party w/ lots of little kids recently, so we do a hard-target search for maybe an errant chicken wing or something stuck in an un-intended space by a kiddo... no dice. I start to think is smells similar to a dead mouse or rat, possible in the walls or crawl space; increasing smell, so I put out a Yelp! Project on a possible dead animal removal/inspection. Yami @ Honest Rodent Proofing was 1st to respond, so setup a Monday AM inspection. Sunday the smell is a bit stronger in that one area, rest of the house seems fine. da Work: The technician Sam arrives early to do an inspection, agrees there is a faint smell, but is not sure if it's a dead animal (and he'd know?!). He does the inspection of the perimeter, then the crawl space under the house, going directly under the kitchen/dining room area and did not see any sign of animal activity. He also peeked in the attic area and did not smell or see anything up there as well. FRUSTRATING! da Service: Sam said since he didn't find anything to remove nor did he see any tunneling near the foundation or entry along the roof, that there was no charge. He advised to see how it goes the next few days if the smell get worse or we see flies inside the house, to get them back; that it was possible whatever it is, is in the walls, but until we can pinpoint it better, finding it randomly is tough. While it's frustrating that we didn't find a cause yet, it's somewhat comforting that nothing was found initially; I was picturing a rat or squirrel rotting away under the house. Yami was quick to gets us scheduled and helpful, while Sam did his best to discover what was up. Excellent and quick communications will have me going back to them if needed and in the future. Honest Rodent Proofing is just that, honest and earned my repeat business. Keeping our fingers crossed that we don't need a priest to get rid of this fleeting smell!

2 missed appointments by Technician:…read more I had a scheduled appointment on a Friday, in the morning for a termite inspection. The day of the appointment, at the time of the appointment, I received a txt message from the technician mentioning that they would not be able to make the appointment as they were double booked. He proposed to re-schedule the appointment. I had already taken the morning off to meet the technician, with hours and income loss. But, I decided to re-schedule for the upcoming Tuesday. Tuesday comes around, and again I take time-off work and income loss to meet with the Technician, and they don't show up the appointment. This was the second time of missed work and income. I reached out to the Company to advice them and they prompted that they could reschedule me, but at this point my trust was already broken. The Company didn't take my time seriously. Company's should learn to appreciate that their customers are taking time out of their day to meet with these technicians, which translates to missed income or having to substitute the time-off with vacation time that can be used for the family.

I received a flat rate price estimate shortly after starting a Yelp project on July 5th from this company.

Dennis came the next day and communicated well prior to his arrival. Dennis explained what he would do well. Dennis made quick work of that wasp nest and knocked it off my roof eave before taking it away. All in all, I'd say he was here for no longer than 20 minutes. He recommended servicing our residence as well as the eaves to further prevent wasps from returning and to prevent other pests from visiting, but was not pushy about the service. I would recommend this company to others.

This is a bitter and sweet post. First Uriel was responsive to my request to inspect our home for a…read morerodent issue. However his technician came out, inspected the crawl space ONLY and quoted us 9K to rodent proof, not including Insulation and clean up. He also indicated that rodents were nesting in the crawl space and we had an infestation. My home is 2100 sq ft. Also I reached out to this company as I THOUGHT we had used their services when we initially bought the house in 2020. Our home was rodent proofed, insulation replaced and cleaned under the house and all areas sealed for $1500. Attic Green's technician was very complimentary of our home which we appreciated. However, I believe his quote was indicative of thinking we had 9K to blow on a service we already had and was familiar with. I then contacted Uriel and we discussed the quote. We had a great conversation and understood they didn't do the initial work, although I had a quote of $1700 in 2020. I reached out to the initial contractor and was quoted $2000. He indicated no infestation, no insulation needed to be replaced and he took a picture of where the open spaces were where rodents were coming in which was on top of our garage, not the crawl space. To those reading this review make sure you request multiple estimates before going with this company. This was an opportunity to gouge a customer and I was extremely offended by their quote.

We are very happy to do business with Certech and will continue to do so in the future.

Also see my earlier review 5 Star on work Certech for me with an Ant problem I was not able to…read moresolve myself. Unfortunately, I had another occasion recently to need pest control services in connection with a rat problem I was having. We had used a different service provider 9 months or so earlier and had the problem under control until it wasn't again! The earlier exclusion work that had been performed had been compromised. I had found the likely place they were getting in and had reset traps in the basement; but, because I had had such a good experience earlier with Fermin and Certech, I called them up to get their professional experience and assessment. As was the earlier case with the Ant issue, they were responsive to my call, came out within 24 hours, and just brought a huge dose of professionalism and reasonableness. I don't know what it is with the pest business; but, I just always feel like I am being fed a bunch of scare tactics, oversold, and then left in the end too often with an ineffective solution , a long-term contract and difficulty in following up once they have the contract. That just hasn't been the case with Certech and it stands out as different from their competitors and is also so refreshing. Fermin was as patient, friendly and knowledgeable as he had been when he came out to our house earlier for the ants, and he worked with me to acknowledge the work already done and then advise and recommend only what incrementally needed to be done. He even helped me clear the catches I had in the traps I had set and rebait them. He also confirmed my assessment on the place they were likely getting in and helped me reclose that; but, also took it upon himself to do a comprehensive search for other exclusion gaps including up on the roof when he noticed a place our oak tree was touching the house. At the end, once again differentiating themselves from their competition, there were no exorbitant charges for the visit and no hard sell for a continuing contract. He was so honest he even told me I should be fine now with how things were and just to keep monitoring the exclusion areas and check the traps now and then. And, to call them again if I ever need them. So refreshing and, once again, renewing my faith that friendly, quality, professional service is still available in our community.

I hired All in One Pest Eliminators to deal with what appeared to be a skunk living under my house…read morein the Oakland Hills. The skunk was spraying so frequently that the odor had become overwhelming and was actually making its way into my bedroom. Living in the hills, wildlife is simply part of life. Most of the time it's one of the perks of living here. Unfortunately, this particular wildlife situation had become unbearable, so I called in the professionals. OR, what I thought were the professionals... I should have just called a Doberman. I will start by saying that the technicians themselves were professional. Unfortunately, the actual service was a complete failure and complete waste of money. They came out, set a trap, filled it with cat food, covered it with a bag, and instructed me to check it every morning. The problem with that approach is obvious: if the trap actually contained a skunk, the only way to find out was to walk right up to it and look inside. Nothing says "professional wildlife management" quite like asking the homeowner to potentially get skunked. Over the course of the next week, I was repeatedly assured that the bait being used was specifically designed to attract skunks and that possums supposedly weren't interested in it. Yet somehow, the trap managed to catch three possums and exactly zero skunks. ZERO SKUNKS! The skunk that was actually causing the problem remained comfortably under my house, probably laughing at them and apparently completely unimpressed by their "specialized" bait. Meanwhile, the charges kept appearing on my credit card. By the end of this adventure, I was out roughly $700 and left with the exact same problem I started with. Three possums had been trapped and removed--none of which were bothering me in the first place--I honestly feel bad for these poor possums, what did they do with them when they took them away? While the skunk continued living its best life beneath my home. Three possums later, I'm convinced the trap's only qualification was "contains animal." I'm honestly surprised they didn't catch my own cat, a squirrel, and the neighbor's golden retriever while they were at it. The skunk, meanwhile, continues to live its best life under my house while I funded this expensive wildlife exchange program. Thank you All-in-One. If your goal is to spend hundreds of dollars catching harmless possums, this company may be for you. If your goal is to solve a skunk problem, All N One Pest Eliminators are a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!
