    So glad I called Rick. Gopher mounds started popping up in our backyard just as we were putting our house on the market. Terrible timing. I was worried that if I called a gopher removal company they would tear up my lawn, which is not what you want when trying to sell your house! With Rick I needn't have worried. He lifts up a section of grass, sticks the traps underneath, and replaces the piece of grass on top; You wouldn't even know the traps are there. He's also such a nice guy. Get him out at the first sign of an issue. Don't let it get out of hand. You'll be happy you made the call.

    Gopher holes and the useless sonar spikes I thought would work.

    Looks like I didn't have gophers but they helped me get what I needed for my yard anyway. Went above and beyond.

    Very friendly and honest guy. He figured out quick it wasn't gophers and declined the job and gave me advice for the other pest instead.

    He came back on Sunday to find the traps had caught the Gopher which had been causing havoc with my newly grown lawn.

We were terrified because it looked like the opossum might be hurt or stuck, and we had never trapped an animal before. Brian was quick to respond, incredibly informative, and helped us through the situation with so much calm and professionalism. He was absolutely worth every penny, and I would highly recommend All Star Animal Trapping. We had originally called a few wildlife rescues and unfortunately got little to no help, so we were very relieved to find someone who actually knew what they were doing.

We originally had a skunk family under our deck and called All Star to help with the humane removal but when Connor came to set up traps we found out they had left. We ended up not needed trapping services but we decided to have Connor help us create a fence around the opening we had to the deck so that no animals could access going forward. They came back pretty quickly (within a week) and Connor and his colleague came to finish the job. Communication was very good and they always came during their approximate arrival times. I didn't feel pushed to do anything I didn't want to do and Connor was really knowledgeable about his work. The estimates were detailed and reasonable and my husband and I didn't feel like we were getting ripped off or there was any dishonesty. Appreciated the transparency and overall wonderful experience. Will be using them again (but hopefully not).

    I'd like to update my review since my first stellar review was for the initial estimate process…read moreonly and I said I would update (but forgot). It's been 5 years and we've had plenty of people up in our attic since Rodent Masters completed our job and any time someone goes up there, I beg them to check and double check to ensure there are no rodent droppings. During this time, we have not heard a peep in the attic which is a complete 180 from what we were hearing before - it always sounded like the rats were having a party up there in the middle of the night. The process took about a month from start to finnish because the first thing they do is cover and patch all holes or entrances up so that nothing can get in (or out) and not just outside of the house but inside the attic and inside every single area from within the house. It's a LOT of work but they did it very well. Then, they came back and, in our case, because things were so bad, they sucked out all of the insulation and then reinsulated the entire attic with much higher quality material than what had been removed. Then they came back on final time to ensure there was no activity. So, I have no reason not to continue recommending Rodent Masters and I have for the last 5 years. I do think I will contact them soon though just to have someone do a walk around to ensure there are no new holes that have developed since they were last here. Highly recommend and I'm glad to see that the reviews continue to be outstanding since the one I gave 5 years ago!

No transparency with what they were using or what they had treated. Always late. And we still had bugs/spiders/wasps/bees/silverfish! I took to doing the pest control myself for a year, which worked for a while. But it was time for a professional. Ok enough with the bad people, let's talk about Ameripest! My wife found them on yelp and called the number. Within minutes, Daniel returned her call. He explained his services, how they worked, the prices for each plan, and how soon they could come. The prices are super reasonable! Daniel was thorough and wasn't pushy regarding which plan (if any) we should get. On the first treatment day, Kyle came right on time! He explained everything that he would be doing, and the treatment took about an hour (whereas the other companies took like 20-30 mins tops). Once finished, we got a detailed report sent to us, outlining what was used and where exactly he treated the inside and outside of the home. Even on first treatment, the bug situation got exponentially better! They also include a 30 day follow up treatment, whereby if you see anything, just give them a call and they'll come back out. As those of us with pests know, they don't all die on the first spray. The turnover is quick on those German cockroaches, so the follow-up spray is necessary. I know it seems like you can pay any company to make your pest problem go away, but that's completely untrue. Ameripest was more thorough, transparent, and better priced than any of the other companies we tried.
