Pestnow came out quickly to look at a spot in my eaves where birds were assembling a nest. They handled a high roof situation and had a fair price. Very easy to work with. Would highly recommend to others. read more

I scheduled an appointment about 3 days in advance and received confirmation. The service person did not arrive in the scheduled window. I got a call about 10 minutes before the window closed and was told that the service provider could not service my home and would send someone else instead. They claimed that person would arrive within 40 minutes. That person did not arrive within 40 minutes. I called to cancel since they didn't care about my business. I was transferred to the second service person and told that I need to be sure the person the sent next time services my area...as if it was someone my fault no one showed up? I never received an apology for lack of service. Their customer service is lacking and I will not be rescheduling. read more

We have been using PestNow for over 5 years for ants and mosquitoes. They provide a great and convenient service and are competitively priced. Highly recommend! read more

We first used Pest Now when we started finding ants on the second floor. We were also having squirrels in the attic. They did a complete inspection of our home. We needed to put new insulation in the attic. They removed items before the installation and then put them back in place. No more and problems up stairs. We still have ants near the back door but it is a heavy traffic area. They educated us on how to address the problem and sprayed the area. We have used other service over the 40+ years in our home. Pest Now is our choice. read more

Poor service that requires a 6 hour window for a half-hour visit to a property. My clients do not want folks in their home when they are not and to block out from 9:00 - 3:00 is ridiculous. It is now 10 minutes to 3 and we STILL have not heard from an inspector. Now 3:25 and inspector said between 4-5 - nice waste of a day. Follow-up: Rusty followed up with me and quite sympathetic and agrees what happened was unacceptable. It helps to know they were concerned enough to follow-up and as a result we both hope this will not happen to another in the future. read more

Would highly recommend for bed bugs! So a little history here: I spent $2000 to have my house heat treated for bed bugs and about 60 days later, they were back. I live in a row house, so it's very difficult to treat a row house with heat, unless all neighboring houses do it. I had done a lot of research on heat vs. chemical and went with heat, but there a few pieces of information that were missing/outdated 1) heat treatment is not a good option for row houses or adjoining living situations like apartments, as the bugs spread between the walls 2) there is a new chemical treatment that is MUCH more effective than what was previously used. Previously chemical treatments did not kill all of the bed bug cycles, so multiple treatments were really needed at different time points. But the new chemical, Crossfire, kills the bed bugs at all stages, and is therefore much more effective. Pest Now's prices are much more affordable, about $500, and the warranty is for 90 days (much longer than the competitors!). And I really liked the folks that I worked with, they were knowledgeable and very helpful. Would highly recommend! So far, my bed bugs are all gone!! :) read more

I never received a response ! So I'm gonna go with not great, the 1 star is pretty much because one must choose a star

Very responsive. Takes care of the problem right away. We have a yearly contract with them and feel comfortable and confident that any issues we may have will be handled promptly. read more

I used Pest Now for the termite treatment in August 2018 when I found a termite tube on one of my door frames. They drilled the exterior and installed an above ground bait box. Since the initial treatment, I have extended my warranty yearly. Beginning in 2020, I started having a terrible time with termite activity. Every time I called Pest Now, they did come out and treat - my issue is that their treatment didn't ever stop my termite issue. Since April 2020, I've had to have 5 additional treatments. I called them the 1st week of April 2021 and they said I was due for my warranty inspection so they came out and said I had no active termites, only evidence of previous termites. Within a week, I notice my side door frame was covered in termite dust so they came out and treated again (after telling me on the phone that I just had an inspection and they said no treatment was needed). I was cleaning around the door frame and chunks of my top door frame fell off. There is no way that would happen if termites were recent. A few days after that, I look outside and there were hundreds if not thousands of swarmers pouring out of my back stoop which was just treated 1 year earlier. I decided to call another company who not only found active termite activity on all four sides of my house but I have enough damage to the rear sill plate of my house that I need to get that replaced as soon as possible. They also said the above ground bait boxes weren't installed correctly and the spacing in the drilling that was done wasn't right. Here are pictures of the swarmers, evidence of termites after my most recent inspection said there was none, and damage to my sill plate. A warranty is only good if they get rid of the problem to begin with and now I'm stuck with a huge repair bill even though I did everything I was supposed to and trusted the professionals. read more

See all

PestNow came promptly and was very responsive. They were reasonable priced and competent. If I ever need to, I'll use them again!

Could not have been an easier transaction. I received next day service. All handled swiftly by email. Since my first service in October I haven't seen another wolf spider in the house. I will gladly have them back quarterly. read more

The service was prompt after one phone call. Used the recommended responses from neighbors and I am very happy. Other services dilute their sprays and want to come in your house. PestNow insists on only spraying outside and I've not seen any ants since the treatment. The gentleman who came couldn't have been more polite and knowledgeable. I highly recommend PestNow. read more

The company sent a rep out within a week and she had our house set up to get rid of the mice in less than an hour. A month later and I've seen no more evidence of rodents - yay! read more

I called pestnow to take care of an ant issue we where having in the house. Their rep came over, listened to my concerns and sprayed multiple areas enternally and then sprayed the perimeter. Ants disappeared within a week. Did see some spiders after a month and a half and pestnow held to their word, came over and sprayed again for free. They have a 3 month guarantee. Excellent service. Will be continuing to use them. read more

I am helping to sell a home for a client and the home was recently renovated fully renovated, even the two garages. The buyer uses pestnow and the report says there is damage in the both garages and sends an estimate for $650 with the report. I had Johnson Termite come out to provide the cert. which is now needs because of the claim of termite damage and that is costly.. Johnson termite said that what pestnow said was termite damaged was none other than dust debris and a piece of wood with some water on it... no termite damage whatever so ever and now my seller is obligated to pay all this money to get the termite cert. I'm just glad I didn't have pestnow do the cert since they clearly were trying to get their money on that end. Shame that people take advantage of others and try to scam people for money. They say that's what you get when you pay $39 bucks for an inspection. Pay a little more and have an honest company come out and do the inspection. read more

I'm a real estate broker. I use and recommend Pest Now to all of my clients in the DC/MD/VA area. They have a professional and responsive service team plus slick technology that makes billing and communication very easy. read more

I have been a customer of Pest Now for 4 yrs. About a year and a half ago I developed a small rodent issue. The tech Duane came to my home and seal up as many holes as he could find and then proceed to bait the exterior of my home. Well this did not seem to solve the problem as it got worse. He directed me to the manager Randy, he was the most unhelpful person that I have ever dealt with using big words ( to sound intelligent) and basically sending Duane back to my home to do the same thing. A month later I called the corporate office to speak to the Manager I was forwarded to Ramon. This was one of the worst experiences with customer service that I have ever been apart of dealing with any company! He basically tried to make me feel that I was over reacting and that if I didn't like his answer I could find another company. He didn't want to listen to anything I said and kept suggesting that all I wanted was a refund. Felt like I was being bullied ,I never mentioned money of any sort I just wanted the mice gone. With the problem getting worse and Duane trying his best to get it take care of with no success I had no choice but to call the company and cancel my service and move on else where. With two bad experiences with managers and a technician that seem as if he was doing everything he could but getting no help. I called and explained to the girl on the phone my problem and what I wanted to do, cancel my service. She asked me to speak to another manager before I cancelled. His name was Joe and he advised me to allow him to come out to do an inspection and if I wasn't satisfied with his findings then I could cancel. He came out and inspected my home and found a tiny hole under my dishwasher floor. Upon removing the dishwasher we found a bigger hole. He instructed me to have a contractor come out to seal the hole which we did and long story short it has been 5 mos and we are rodent free. If I had dealt with Joe at first this would be 5 stars. The previous years I have never had an issue with this company my technicians have been great. Going forward I will request Joe if I have any problems. Randy and Ramon have alot to learn about customer service. read more

I found a 6 inch wide wasp nest under the outlet of my deck one week after PestNow performed their quarterly pest control. So I called PestNow about this situation. They sent a technician to remove the nest on the next day without any additional cost. read more

Pestnow has great customer service. I was able to get an appointment right away and the technicians are very knowledgeable. They explained what would work best for my home and I appreciate the work they did for me and my family. read more

Beware of this company's horrific fraudulent practices. We heard what we thought was a raccoon in our attic. We called Pest Now (we had previously had them spray for bugs last summer) and they sent someone out the next morning. Upon entering the house, Bobby was very nice and seemed to know what he was talking about. He's a very good salesman. He walked in and thoroughly "read" that we were freaked out, grossed out, and that we care a lot about our two dogs. And, without a doubt, noticed we were both female. He went up into our attic to inspect and a few minutes later we hear him cursing. He came down and said the raccoon hissed at him, that our attic is completely destroyed, there were piles of insulation, we had feces everywhere that needed to be decontaminated immediately, and that it completely reeked up there. He told us to be careful with our precious dogs, and told us a story about a raccoon mauling one of his client's cats. He told us to seal the attic door with tape so that the raccoon wouldn't get too interested in what's going on downstairs and try to open the attic door. All to stress the urgency of our situation. Completely freaked out for the lives of our dogs and ourselves, we (naively) took him for his word when he told us we had to spend $3,900 to remove the raccoon, completely redo the insulation in our attic, and decontaminate the place. We have security cameras installed all over our house and I have the entire interaction where he swore to us how bad our situation was recorded. Interestingly, while he provided me with a verbal quote there was no breakdown of costs or anything for me to sign. Fast forward 24 hours to our first appointment of this 4 day endeavor. The technician (Adam) comes out to put the trap up there. He was up there for 15 minutes seems like a long time to set a trap, but I didn't question it because Bobby had us convinced that it was a mess up there. He also asked to borrow my step stool which I found strange since there is a ladder into the attic, but I didn't question it. 15 minutes later he comes down and says he didn't see any raccoons up there, but he did set the trap so we'll see what we get. Later that day, I decided that before spending $3,900 on my attic I should really get another opinion. Bobby made it seem like the world was ending, but Adam seemed pretty calm about the whole thing. We contacted another company and I could tell off the bat that they were honest and reputable. The owner of that company offered to come out (for free) and take a look for us and see if it was as bad as Bobby made it out to seem. He went up there and then called me up as well. Not only was there no raccoon to be found in the attic, but the insulation was completely intact and fine except for one small little area. There was no stench, and no feces. A raccoon has been there, but there was no work to be done other than sealing the entry point (the gable vent) and MAYBE replacing about $30 worth of insulation. Also interestingly, someone had installed chicken wire over the gable vent... ah, so that's what they had to borrow my step stool for! Further, it didn't even smell up there (I think my kitchen smells worse). The other contractor said that as much as he'd like the business, there wasn't anything we had to do short of sealing off the obvious entry point. I called Pest Now, and they immediately got defensive. They said they didn't install the chicken wire, and back tracked a lot on what I have them on camera saying the first day. They now said they had to remove the insulation to find the entry point, not because it was completely destroyed (like they told me it was the other day). Supposedly Bobby was now convinced the raccoon was coming from the front of the house (we live in a Brick house with a roof on front that is completely visible to the street... I guess maybe raccoons can chew through brick and fit through holes in said brick that aren't visible to the naked eye, since thats the only way they'd be coming in the front of the house?) These guys are scam artists through and through preying on women who are young and freaked out. I took multiple days off work this week to be here when they needed me to be here and didn't sleep or let my dogs out of my sight, since Bobby seemed so convinced this horrific raccoon was a threat to our safety (yet removing it was scheduled to be a 4 day process?). They're coming tomorrow to pick up their trap, and I was clear that if they don't exit the property immediately with said trap I'll have it all on our security cameras (including pictures of the "totally destroyed" attic and Bobby's testimonial the other day) for the nightly news. Don't call this company for anything except a laugh. (Also interestingly, they advertise online for commission based "no experience required" technician jobs with "guaranteed money"... save your money and hire a real wildlife control company rather than a salesperson.) read more

What a great experience .... the inspector was very knowledgeable about my issues .... thanks for the information and the great service !!!! I highly recommend this company!! read more

Shady af. Had someone come out for inspection and they said that we were good and didn't need to spray. A couple days later we get a quote saying that we did need to spray for pests. Heard from a few other families that they had the same happen. If they are set to come out for inspection to your house that's on the market. REQUEST ANOTHER COMPANY!!! read more

I had it all...mice, rats, ants, flying ants, centipedes, spiders...and now I don't. The pests are finally under control, and I am so relieved that, with the quarterly package, if I see any critters, all I have to do is call. They come quickly and take time to listen to and address my concerns. It took a few visits to get things under control, but pests breed, so that is to be expected. read more

Just switched to Pest Now from another company. Very professional and timely. Emailed me in advance. Love Charles!

Had a service call sheduled from 7-10 on a Saturday. Apprently the tech arrived at 8 am, or i revieved a voicemail at 8am saying the tech was here and that he knocked on the door. I missed the call and did not here him knocking on the door. I recieved the voicemail at 8 15 and immediately called him back and he did not answer. Now i am being rescheduled to next Saturday. To say the least i am not pleased. I myself do service calls for my jobs and woyld get chewed out if i didnt wait more that 15 minutes. I called the 1 800 number, they were understanding but did not really help. I am not happy. Again, i do service call everyday as a Aav technician and Saturday or not you wait for the client more than 15 minutes. read more

We have been customers of Pest Now since 2010. We receive annual termite inspections with warranty, quarterly interior and exterior treatments, and as needed treatments (at no extra charge) if an issue is detected by us. Calling the office to schedule any service is always easy and the representatives are always polite and quick to answer. The inspectors and technicians are always prompt, very polite and friendly, and knowledgeable. They will take the time to answer questions or provide information needed to make a decision about treatment. In eight years, we have only had two technicians. It's nice to see a familiar face and know who is coming. Both have been extremely polite and friendly. They come to the door to let us know they are here and ask about any current concerns, ask if we want the inside treated (we can decline with no issues/penalty), and then they tell us what they will treat for outside and then they are on their way. Even if we decline interior treatment at that time, we can still call and ask for someone to come at a later date. I feel that the termite inspections are always thorough. We can bring up any concerns we may have. read more

Lawn Service Only! The worst possible service you can buy for your lawn. At the end of summer I have more weeds than ever, I mow the lawn every 5 days due to over fertilization, I have numerous dead patches where chemicals killed the good grass. No one should fertilize in July but this is exactly what PestNow did! It looks terrible and I have spent much more on restoring the lawn than I paid for this terrible service. PestNow should stick to pest control. Note: You cannot service lawns with the same equipment you use to treat for Pest. You are not a Lawn Care Company! read more

I encountered a very knowledgeable and professional inspector today. He walked my client through the process of a termite treatment and helped ease their mind at buying a new home. I will be using you guys for my future inspections. That inspectors name was Joe from your PG office. Thanks again Pest Now. read more

Very fast respond-after I call within 2-3 days someone is coming to my house...I wish that news would scare mice's to death...

I called Pestnow for an inspection because I saw some flying insects in the mulch near my house. They came out and after inspection told me that I not only had termites, my house was "swarming" with carpenter ants, and there were "numerous" rat droppings around. They said I needed to address all of these, quickly, to the tune of hundreds of dollars, plus set up a regular, quarterly pest control service. I told him I needed to think about it and asked him to email me the quote. I then asked another company to come out, and after their inspection I was told "we see zero evidence of any pests". The flying insects were some kind of common benign insect, usual for this time of year. (Termites are spring, I was told, not fall.) The other company made $0 from me, but told me the truth. Pestnow is flat our fraudulent. Oh, and the tech never even emailed me the quote. STAY AWAY from this crooked company. read more

They changed my appointment without my knowledge, indicating I had called right after making the appointment to change it, which I had not. They usually send confirmation emails once appointments are made, however, I received no confirmation email reflecting the change, and they did not honor the time they had given me. I was penalized for their mistake, as they wanted me to wait for another week to rectify the pest issue, and refused to refund my money when I explained that the reason for the appointment was a THIRD follow-up for an issue that remained unresolved. When speaking with a supervisor and attempting to explain the situation, he cut me off and was extremely rude. Very poor customer service, and I have no trust in their ability to maintain appointments or resolve the issues they claim to be able to be experts in --- this is a hardship for those that have to take time off from work to be present for the appointment. read more
