If you live in Burnaby and you have a pest problem look no further than Knockout Pest Control…read more Ryan has helped me for over 10 years with everything from ants to raccoons and he knows his stuff. He is very thorough. At one house I had squirrels in my attic and while the previous owner had another company block most of the entry points they missed some and Ryan solved the problem and installed a one way door so the squirrels could not get back in once they left. The previous owner used poison and that left a few dead carcasses in the attic. As import as being good is, just as import is being honest. Ryan will only recommend and do what is needed. If there is another trade like a roofer that can fix a problem better than him, he will recommend that - this is being honest and recommending to customers what is best for them. I could not recommend Knockout Pest Control more!

"Just imagine flying first class but paying economy" is the best way to describe Knockout Pest…read moreControl. Not only does Ryan KO the competition with price (I got quotes that were 30% to over 100% more), but he also KOs the competition in service and professionalism. I called Ryan around 10 AM and told him where I live. He said he could be at my place between 12-1 PM. Ryan showed up at 12:15 PM--right on time. Outside my front door, he could see over 30 yellow jacket (very aggressive) wasps flying everywhere and the nest is somewhere in between the walls. Ryan didn't do any bait-and-switch or upselling--just some friendly conversation before getting to work. After the first treatment, he noticed wasps inside the house (through the window) and asked if he could go inside to assess the situation. He instantly spotted a small hole in the ceiling and said, "That's how the wasps are getting inside." He sprayed insecticide in the ceiling hole and explained that's where the wasp nest was located. We went back outside, where Ryan was eliminating the last few wasps, when he said, "Wow! You've got three wasp and one carpenter ant." He explained this was unusual because wasps and ants don't typically coexist. Ryan went to his truck and returned to address my ant issue. While he was spraying the beam, I asked for a quote to handle the ant problem. He said there was a chance that his current treatment might eliminate the ant nest, and if so, it would be free. Ryan then spent another 10 minutes explaining his approach to tackle the ant issue--essentially teaching me what to do. He concluded by saying if I still needed help with the carpenter ants, I should call him. Like most people, I read reviews not only to find the best price but to find someone I can trust. You can trust Ryan like the person who does your hair. For most people, calling an exterminator isn't common, so finding a trustworthy one is difficult. Put all that fear to rest--Ryan will give you a very reasonable quote with no upcharges and will get the job done. I even had to beg Ryan to please accept a tip from me, cause he did so much work and charge so little. BTW, my wasps issues was resolved by 1:30PM (under 2 hours) and I can use my front door again. Thank you Ryan.

When we complained after one week and again after 10 days, we were told (never told this upfront) that they do not guarantee their treatment and were offered a "reduced rate" for a re-treatment!.

We would never use this company again.

Zero stars, three no show appts and excuses every time. Never came prepared with pet proof boxes…read morethe first time he came to the house even though a week prior we discussed it on the phone. Said he would be back the following Monday and never showed. Then I called to see why- said the boxes were on backorder, rescheduled appt for sept 28th- again no showed. Called him again, this time he claimed it wasn't in the calendar so on Friday he said he would come today, again no show, no phone call. Horrible service and would not recommend. I will be hiring someone else for the job.

June 22, 2024 I am…read morepleased to recommend Hassan and Sobia's services. Both Hassan and Sobia are very pleasant to talk to and very professional in scheduling appointments and completing work. I initally requested help with a squirrel problem in our atttic. This took about 7 or 8 visits by Hassan to repair/close entry points in our roof, set traps to catch the squirrels, and then several follow-up visits to inspect the attic to make sure squirrels had not returned. During the intial visit and survey of the roof and attic, Hassan pointed out some other issues he noticed: 1) there were several bee nests in the attic ---so I hired Hassan to remove the bee nests. 2) the gutters were full of debris from recent windstorms --- so I hired Hassan to clean the gutters. 3) one of the down pipes attached to the gutter was detached and bent --- so Hassan fixed that. 4) one of the soffits was hanging down a bit so Hassan fixed that. I always appreciate it when someone comes to provide a service and at the same time, points out other unrelated issues that could be a problem. Again, I am pleased to recommend Hassan and Sobia's services. Rob Adams, Surrey

They were both kind, easy to work with, courteous and efficient, so very grateful I found them!

This guy litterally charges double of what any other exterminator charges. He quoted me $1500 to do…read more6 rooms. I got 4 other quotes that ranged from $800 to $900 for the same job. Please note: we previously used this guy twice before and not only did he grossly overcharge, but each time increase his rates over a 2 year period. Each time he shows up with 2 liter spray bottle and spend 20 minutes spraying. He never got rid of them and got literally $3000 per hour. That's right...it's not a type-o. Do the math. No loyality discount for repeat customers either. Finally we hire a real exterminator company and they charged us $850 for the same job but their guy shows up with a 20 lb tank and spent over an hour. The bugs are now gone and we are very happy with the next exterminator. The actual exterminator technician for this new company actually lives in Chemainus. Steve and Antex is just a pathetic display of taking advantage of people who are desperate because of their infestations and it's sad and wrong. No moral compass. Totall ripoff.
