Chris and Reyes are the best! There was a rattlesnake in my enclosed front yard. It was the first time I'd had one on my property and was not expecting it to be so out in the open. I called Pacific Coast Animal Control. I watched the snake go into one of our planters where there is a big flower bush. However, I'm not sure where it went after that and did take my eyes off the area for a couple of minutes. Even though it was 5:30pm, Chris came out to my house within 30 minutes. He spent a good amount of time searching for the snake where I last saw it but unfortunately we couldn't find it. It was totally my fault for not having eyes on it 100% of the time (lesson learned!) Chris did a walkthrough of my property and identified areas where the snake likely entered and exited. He also took a look at all my plants and advised which ones could attract pests which would then attract snakes. He gave me a great quote for sealing off some crevices, adding barriers around and underneath my front gate, and removing some bushes and shrubs to prevent future attraction Chris and Reyes came out 2 days later to get to work. The gate barriers were super slick and everything else was so clean! Reyes did a great job of removing the pesky bushes and shrubs and left the area looking even cleaner than it was before! Pacific Coast Animal Control is the real deal. They will answer all your questions and provide you with the best information to protect your home and loved ones. PCAC will be my go-to for the future! read more

If I could give 20 stars, I would. We had 2 small birds fly in through the front door into the house that we couldn't get back out. We had someone else come out and they insisted on doing an entire inspection, recommended thousands of dollars of other work not related to getting the birds out, AND they wouldn't get the birds out the same day. Called Pacific Coast Animal Control at 6pm, they came 45mins later, and got the birds out in under 5 mins. They also charged 87% less than the other quote we got. I will always use Pacific Coast Animal Control and recommend their services to family and friends. read more

Chris and his team are professional, meticulous, efficient, and super easy to work with. I wanted snake fencing to keep my young grandkids safe.

Chris did GREAT work. We called him after calling 7 other places- all of which didn't answer their phones or didn't do rattlesnake removal. Chris answered his phone and came over within 20 mins to help us protect our small dogs from a big rattler on our property. He does great work. read more

Chris is awesome. We've heard animals in our attic and I called Chris. He came out the same day and confirmed we had rats (we were concerned it might have been something bigger). He suggested trimming our vegetation that is near the roofline and also instructed us on how to set traps. I highly recommend Chris and will certainly call him if we ever expect there's anything larger up there! read more

So who ya gonna call to remove a big, fat, scarier-than-hell rattlesnake from your yard, hmmm? Chris-The-Fearless, that's who. I developed a yellow streak down my back when I nearly stepped on it and ran into the house like a Girly-Man. My wife had to take over and she called Chis. He was in our driveway within 20-minutes. Chris casually pried Mongo from under a flagstone walkway, slid the loop around it's neck, and walked down the hill to release it. Total Hero! read more

Pacific Coast Animal Control - Wildlife Control Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I left a voice message regarding an alligator lizard that found its way into my house on saturday. Chris returned my call in about 20 mins, he was about an hour away. He gave me an eta, said he was going to come and take care of removing it. Communication was easy, he came on time and texted when he was about 10 mins away to keep me updated. I was scared but he calmly picked it up and put it in his truck storage for captured wildlife. I found the service highly efficient and reliable. Would recommend chris and pacific coast animal control willingly for the services they specialize in (if need be) read more

We had a pesky seagull couple trying to nest on our chimney & we needed to stop that activity before they formed a nest & started laying eggs. Chris responded to my call quickly & was able to come out and assess the situation. Since the wind kept knocking over all the seagulls' nesting efforts, he hoped to save us some money by a wait and see approach, expecting that the couple would lose interest & go to a more suitable location. That was not to be, this pair was stubborn & kept up their unsuccessful efforts. Chris suggested bird spikes as the best way to deter these 2. Problem solved & they have moved on. Chris is patient, knowledgeable & helpful. Don't hesitate to call if you need help with 1 pesky critter or another! read more

While we were away, our house sitter called to have help in removing a bat from the house. Pacific Coast came out immediately on a Saturday and tried to find the bat. After giving us invaluable information, Chris the owner left and said to call if the bat appeared again. At midnight, a few nights later the bat reappeared and Chris was out in about 15 minutes to remove the bat HUMANELY with an extremely reasonable price. They are helpful and very responsive and I would not hesitate to use them in the future. I am very satisfied with their services! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! read more

Chris was extremely professional, thoughtful, and efficient. Cost: Honestly I was a bit worried about the "pay by the minute policy," but Chris was super fair about when he started the timer. There was also a call out fee and a pest removal fee. Again, the prices were very fair. We had to remove some boards from my deck and the snake was tough to get, but all was done in about 9 minutes!!! After nabbing the beast, Chris took his time explaining fence/yard safety, skunk and snake habits, and the best way to secure my yard. He even sent me some links so I could see examples on the Pacific Coast Animal Control Facebook page. My dog appreciates the thoroughness! Overall, I would say the service was absolutely exceptional. I will definitely use this service in the future Thanks for helping make my home safe again!!! read more

Chris was a lifesaver this morning at the Ayres Hotel! My cat was unwilling to go back into her crate in order to check out. After my failed attempt, I gave Chris a call and he was willing to assist.

After a referral to Pacific Coast Animal Control from the San Diego Humane Society, I placed a call and Chris answered right away. I was dealing with grey foxes living in my crawlspace. After explaining the situation, what had transpired, and what I had done so far, he provided unsolicited advice and info on different options to try. He answered all my questions and more, didn't rush me, and was very pleasant and friendly during our call. Fortunately, the option he said to try first worked, and the critters have successfully been evicted from my house without injury to them or me. Thanks so much Chris! read more

On top of that, Chris is super knowledgeable. He and his team exceeded my expectations! read more

I thought animal control was a government control thing but besides that.. this guy was SUPER and a bad ass. Made me look like a punk scared of a baby snake but whatever. I'm scared of them. So I called the professional and he helped me out. We find the MF but he showed me where it probably got in and how to catch it. If I find it.. I won't get a call charge but a removal one. That was super of him. I hope it doesn't show up again but if it does.. I know who I'm calling ASAP!! He very knowledgeable about the types. He was like the Google of snakes. read more

On time and on budget. High quality work. Any concerns and issues were addressed. Collaborative owner with good communication.

Chris is responsive and very knowledgeable. We had a "smart" raccoon in our backyard who is resist to enter traps. Chris advised that we should let the raccoon to be get comfortable with the traps and then after about 1 week, activate the traps. This strategy has worked. We finally got this guy. I highly recommend Chris for this type of work. read more

It's Thanksgiving Night at 9pm. Chris is at my house retrieving 2 raccoons that are in the same trap so they aren't in there all night in the cold smooshed in one trap. I had 3 terrorizing my dogs for weeks so I called Chris and he set traps so he could release them somewhere more "wildlife like". Caught a cat, a skunk ... then finally 1 raccoon. And of course, on Thanksgiving night the final 2 in the same trap. So he came and took them. Complete professional. You should definitely hire him. read more

We were surprised to find a rattlesnake in our yard on a Sunday afternoon. We called PCAC and heard back quite quickly. Technician Dennis arrived about half an hour after I called. It took a few minutes to find the rattlesnake under some lumber, but once he did, Dennis was able to nab it and (we hope) take it somewhere well away from people. read more

Chris was great! He was quick to return my call after hours, and was very honest with his pricing. Don't be worried about the cost per minute he is quick and honest. I didn't have a snack but he was quick to confirm it was just lizard skin we found in the garage. Also helped fix a little whole in the garage so other critters can't come in. Thanks Chris! read more

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! Let me break my story down. I called 25 pest control places at 9pm on a Saturday night... no one... not 1 person called me back nor did they have an emergency contact. My emergency was that after spending the whole day out at an Earth Day event, I came home to my house smelling like death. The rancid smell was coming from my oven,/ wall area. I was hesitant to call so late to a pest control, but the smell of death was too much for my family. NO ONE has emergency numbers.. which is not good for business, since life doesn't stop after business hours. The only pest control that had an emergency number was Pacific Coast Animal Control. Chris called me back immediately after I called him. (He was at another job at the time) He was genuine and understood how frustrated I was after calling everyone in San Diego County. He said he'd be able to come as soon as he was done at his job in San Diego. He found my place easily and came in ready to work. I warned him about my 5 dogs that were on the property, and was a ok with my fur babies. I told him where I thought the problem was and he went straight to work. As I having a nervous break down because I am thinking something died in my wall... he kept me well aware of the situation and notified me with all his progress. He started by taking the back of the oven off, and bam!!! A big rat had crawled in the back of my oven, and well... while I was cooking cinnamon rolls for my baby, fried his butt. Chris was so professional and fun. He took pictures for land lord and was able to get the dead fried rat out immediately. He put my nasty oven's back on and he was on his way. Chris made my day! I truly couldn't of asked for a better man to come out and attend to my nasty situation. He was so nice and understood that this situation couldn't wait til Monday. PS...He even showed me how to put my screen on my window to my kitchen. Only amazing people like that give you customer service like that. If you choose any other person for your problems with pests...you are missing out on real dedicated loyal and compassion company. I thank you Chris... you are absolutely sent from above. read more

Great to have such upfront and honest service. read more

I am not a fan of lizards and became very anxious when discovered a fairly big lizard - around 6 inches without the tail - behind the couch at almost 11pm. Called Pacific Coast Animal Control hoping to leave a message... To my huge joy a lady picked up the phone and after asking me about my concern immediately connected me to the specialist Chris . He arrived 20 minutes later and in very short time successfully apprehended the uninvited creature. He was very professional and courteous . Their business is open until midnight so help is available until late ! Chris said he loves his job " because they give people peace of mind".
