We recently discovered a rodent issue in our new home and found Anthony through Yelp after seeing his outstanding reviews. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he is highly knowledgeable and experienced. He conducted a thorough walkthrough of our property and quickly identified the likely root causes of the problem. What impressed me most was his responsiveness and commitment. Once we decided to move forward, he was available right away and consistently stopped by every week to monitor and service the traps. Throughout the process, Anthony was professional, approachable, and always willing to answer questions and explain his recommendations. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, the rodent issue was effectively addressed, and we now have peace of mind in our home. I am extremely happy with the service he provided and would highly recommend Anthony to anyone dealing with rodent problems. In my experience, his personalized service and expertise far exceeded what you would typically get from larger pest control companies. read more

Anthony did a great job sealing up my roof and getting rid of the rats in the attic. He came back several times and made sure they were gone. He also helped replace my dryer vent as well. Highly recommended. read more

Anthony is a true professional and went above and beyond the call of duty during his initial outdoor inspection of my home! He quickly identified the root cause of rats eating our lemons likely was from our neighbor's house. He then tracked their path from our neighbor's house to power lines to backyard trees to garage roof to wooden fence to lemons. He took the time to do this whereas other companies were ready to charge an arm and a leg without such a thorough outdoor inspection. My wife and I are grateful! read more

Anthony rodent proofed my home on every possible entry point. After doing so, I no longer heard any movement in the walls. He quoted me a reasonable price and has returned multiple times for post inspections. I would reccomend his services to anyone looking to address their rodent pest issues! read more

Second incident, second review, same results. Squirrel burst into garage while the door was open and made a home in the attic. Called Anthony and removed the pest. Easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Thanks again man! read more

Anthony is hands-down the best pest control professional I've worked with. He really knows his stuff and takes the time to explain everything clearly. He helped me remove squirrels from my attic, got rid of a mouse in the crawl space, and rodent-proofed my entire home. What I appreciate most is that he charges a fair price and doesn't try to upsell you on things you don't need--unlike the big companies. He's honest, reliable, and actually cares about getting the job done right. If you're dealing with any pest issues, I highly recommend giving Anthony a call! read more

Anthony helped us rodent proof our new home. When we first moved in, there was a rat infestation and he worked with us for weeks to get rid of them. He goes above and beyond, is knowledgeable, and very hard working. His experience helped find the openings in our sewer line by digging through debris gaps and he patched up other pipelines leading to our crawlspace. After patching everything up, he came back to clean and sanitize below. He also sets up traps and checks in with us as part of his service. We can't thank him enough. He's honest and up front about what he does. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone dealing with rodent problems in their home. read more

Top notch service, highly recommend. We woke up one morning to a HORRIBLE smell of death in our home but could not locate its source. It was a Sunday and no one was picking up, we were desperate. But this company picked up and a fantastic professional was at our door in less than 3 hours. He located the source of the smell and fixed it right away for exactly the price he quoted over the phone - which was extremely fair. I can't thank him enough. Great service. read more

I highly recommend Anthony and Rodent Innovative. We had rats in the crawl space and Anthony promptly responded to our inquiry. He inspected the property, sealed up any opening/gaps and laid traps, no upsell. Within a few days we got them! Can't thank him enough! A few months later we thought there might be activity again and he promptly came out again, re-inspected and made sure nothing is getting in. He's honest, thorough and stands behind his work. Thanks! read more

I highly recommend the Rodent Innovative Professionals to anyone dealing with rodents. Anthony truly cares about his customers and delivers exceptional and knowledgeable service. read more

Anthony was great - he was able to find the rodent living in our attic, set up traps and powder (to detect footprints) and created an action plan to follow up. When he came back, the rat had been killed by a trap so Anthony removed it and sanitized the whole area. I also referred Anthony to a friend who had a similar issue and she said the same thing - Anthony took care of the problem easily, quickly and thoroughly. I recommend Anthony to anyone who could use this service! read more

Anthony offered prompt service at a reasonable rate compared to peers. He quickly and cleanly removed a dead possum from our backyard that had died behind some wooden panels read more

I highly recommend Anthony's service! I called Anthony after having persistent rodent issues in our attic that our previous company couldn't quite resolve. Anthony came out promptly and did a very thorough inspection. He's courteous, honest, and diligent. He spent an hour combing through every nook and cranny. Thank you Anthony! read more

Overall: 5/5 Professionalism: 5/5 Scheduling:5/5 TLDR; Anthony went above and beyond when rodent proofing our house. He is super friendly, professional, and his pricing is very reasonable. Scheduling was simple and he did follow-ups until there were no more rodents in the attic and crawl space. ~~~~ Due to Shelter-in-Place, my family has been spending more time at home and as a result, we began to notice noises in the walls and in the attic. We called Rodent Innovative Professions and Anthony was able to come the next day for a visit. He wore a face mask and gloves and made sure go keep social distancing which I really appreciated. The first thing he did was walk around the house to check for all the openings/vents. He then sent us an estimate with pictures of all the areas that he would fix. There were some vents that didn't have obvious openings but he went ahead and fixed them for us and did a great job(before and after pics below). Our house didn't have a dryer vent and he told us that he could help us install it if we went to get one. After all the openings we're sealed, he set up traps in the attic and crawl space and told us to schedule a follow-ups appointment via text after 5-7 days later. Once no rodents are trapped, he will set up baby powder to make sure there are no rodent tracks. The follow-up after the baby powder is set can be a bit longer but if no rodent tracks are found, we can be confident that there are no more rodents! Timeline of Appointments - 3/26 (initial): foundation rodent proofing & set-up traps - 3/30: trapped 1 rodent in the crawl space - 4/7: no rodents in traps so set-up baby powder (heard noises again in the attic & walls) 4/30: sealed up hidden opening & set-up more traps - 5/5: trapped 2 rodents in crawl space and 1 rodent in attic - 5/12: trapped 1 rodent in crawl space - 5/19: no rodents in crawl space so set-up baby powder For the hidden opening, it was a small gap between our house and the crawl space/foundation that my husband and I forgot about until recently. The gap was hidden behind some rocks and dirt but a tiny was able to use mesh to seal it up! He even helped seal up small gaps found in our detached garage. Although I'll need to wait a couple more weeks before the final check, I would highly recommend R.I.P. to anyone looking go get rid of rodents! read more

I really like Anthony's service! He thoroughly inspected my roof and found a couple of areas that big name companies couldn't identify last year. His pricing is reasonable and he always wore shoe covers when he came into my house. Thanks you! read more

Anthony was great! He came out quickly and confirmed that we did not have rodents, and that the other company was trying to scam us by saying we had an infestation when we didn't. Thank you! read more

Long overdue review. Last year, Anthony helped clean and rodent proof an outdoor shed. He was timely and thorough. The structure is still rodent free. We'd previously hired another vendor but the problems quickly returned. I'm so glad to have found RIP/Anthony via Yelp. read more

Anthony did a thorough inspection, he is honest and reliable. I'm very satisfied with the result. Great job done! read more

Rodent Innovative Professionals - Sneaky little bastard finally got caught - Pest Control Near Me

Anthony is a great guy and is professional. He does quality work, especially when compared to the attempts of rodent proofing we saw from our HVAC contractor when installing an AC condenser. My family moved into an old house and we started catching several rats in our garage within a short time period. After Anthony's initial rodent proofing we didn't see more rats for considerable time. We had a follow-up incident, but Anthony was able to discover a point of entry that needed further reinforcement. Scheduling with Anthony and Marlene is easy. I am confident that if we have further rat incidents that Anthony will be able to take care of us. read more

Heard something tearing up my attic. Living behind an empty fields rodents can be around. I have Anthony a message over Yelp he quickly came out and did a free assessment. He went over my options and what I could do on my own to fix the situation. Very reliable and honest. I'll definitely be giving him a call anytime I have an issue with rodents. read more

We had our house rodent proofed about a year ago, but noticed the dreaded half eaten banana, bread bag chewed through, etc. shortly after they assured us that the house was completely sealed up from any unwanted intruders. They came out to check their work, closed up more potential points of entry, but the problem persisted! We tried to deal with the awful problem on our own by setting countless traps, having to deal with the unpleasant clean up of the traps and spoiled food, etc. I have a particular anxiety about rats/mice so this was a truly tough one for me to handle/learn to live with. I was even strongly urging my husband to move because it was impacting me so much--sounds extreme, but the anxiety is real! We left on a trip and it wasn't the traveling with an infant and toddler that worried me, it was the thought of returning home to a rat infested house. We set up traps throughout our house, a "rat cam" in our kitchen and basement and left for our trip, hoping for the best! Let me just say that the visual of a large rat roaming around our kitchen counters, floors, in my child's high chair and numerous cameos of smaller rats on my basement cam were enough to put me over the edge. So while on my vacation, I was frantically searching for a rodent proofing company. I was so disappointed and felt defeated by most companies saying we were basically screwed because we live in a Victorian and it would be near impossible to effectively rodent proof the house. Doubly defeated feeling because the previous rodent proofer was highly qualified, but didn't get it right. Lo and behold, ANTHONY!! At first conversation, it felt like chatting with a friend about your annoying rat problem! He came over within an hour of our initial call, pointed out things that about 6 other rodent proofers didn't notice. I told him he was a "rat detective" and he's proven himself to be. I was worried that our job was too tricky, but not for a pro like Anthony. He is a true professional, expert and a pleasure to have in your home. Seriously like having a friend helping you out-and my kids loved having him in our house! He even removed his shoes without my asking as he noticed we are no shoe house. He is a diligent and hard worker. From his assistant, Marlene to Anthony- I can't recommend this company enough! Thank you SO much, Anthony!! read more

Called Anthony after we saw some rat droppings. He promptly came over to assess and pursued the rat like a serial investigator. He checked all the possible sources, went on the roof and found the entry point. He then sealed off the entry point and set traps to catch the rat. Communication with Anthony and his receptionist Marlene were great. Scheduling was easy and fast. And the end result was, well the attached photo shows the proof. Good job Anthony and RIP. read more

Rodent Innovative Professionals - Pest Control Near Me

Anthony just came out again to address a crawl space vent that was pushed open and then resecured other vents. He is prompt, helpful, and follows through on his warranty well. He also pointed out a potential electrical issue for us to follow up on. I appreciate his care and work. This is my second great review for Rodent Innovative Professionals who trapped all the rats and proofed two separate properties. read more

Anthony did an outstanding job of abating the rat infestation in my home that I'm a renter in. He executed a thorough job of clearing a grossly neglected crawl space dangerously contaminated with rat carcasses, feces, urine, mold and debris that was left for 15+ years. All of the holes and entryways were sealed up and 4 follow up visits were performed to ensure no rats were entering. I was impressed with efficiency, professionalism, and follow through with completing the job. I would highly recommend his services. Thx! read more

Anthony came to our house to investigate scratching in the roof and attic. We knew we had some critters in the house, and I thought I had some idea how they were getting in, but with Anthony's professional help, we're well on the way to being rodent free! For the several times that Anthony has been to the house, he's always extremely professional and knowledgeable in his line of business. He has a methodology about sealing entrances where mice can get in, then setting traps to catch 'em all, then making sure they don't come back. Overall, we can't recommend Anthony enough for his diligence and support! read more

Very responsive, polite, covid-safe, and did a great job of not only dealing with pests that were present, but sealing voids to make sure that we wouldn't have a problem in the future! read more

We had a great experience with Anthony. We had a rat problem in our crawl space (thanks to shoddy rodent-proofing done by another company a few years ago) and had been having trouble getting anyone to come deal with it. Anthony reponded right away and was able to come do the work within a couple of days. He was super thorough in his inspection of the area and was able to find all sorts of little spaces where the rats could be getting in. He did a great job sealing off all those entrances and installing high-quality rodent-proofing that I can tell will last. Bonus: he was super friendly and easy to work with! We were also really happy that in addition to the actual rodent-proofing, Anthony tore out and disposed of the old insulation that the rats had been nesting in and replaced it--no need to hire a separate person to do that. I definitely recommend Anthony's services! read more

Anthony and Marlene are extremely responsive, caring, and knowledgeable. Anthony was able to efficiently inspect the entire house and crawl space, and find the single point of entry of rats. He could read their signs, footprints, even rat grease smears like a professional tracker! He was able to read the situation and understand and help us understand where the rats were coming from, constructed unique pieces of apparatus to combat where they had chewed through entry points, and lay traps with an excellent plan to follow up over the coming days. We could not me more grateful and relieved for their intelligence, kindness, integrity and experience. We recommend them with great confidence and apprecia read more

Rodent Innovative Professionals - A garage door block Anthony constructed on site to block the rats' point of entry - Pest Control Near Me

Anthony responded to my request to remove a dead rodent from my home when few others simply denied to come in just for that purpose. He responded after hours and came in within 30 minutes of our phone conversation to my house. He also inspected the outside of my home for any possible access points. Will definitely call him again if I have a rodent situation at hand. read more

Was shopping around for an Exterminator on a Friday afternoon. I didn't expect to get anyone to come til the following week, but RIP answered right away and Anthony was at my house by 4PM that Friday. He is very professional, listened to our concerns, inspected our entire expansive crawl space, and offered plenty of practical advice for prevention. I'm very satisfied with hiring RIP and would recommend him to my family/friends and also his prices are very fair. read more

I had the privilege to hire RIP for a job, and I'm extremely happy with the results! Call Anthony if you like friendly service with a craftsman you can trust, an honest worker who's communicative and helpful through every step of the work, and a really fair price that others probably can't beat. I had a very weird, fairly small rodent-proofing job in an awkward space that others wouldn't touch. It's not a "standard" project by any means and it didn't fit any of the pre-fab solutions you'd read about online or find described by a store employee. This required creative, thoughtful problem-solving by someone who understood how rodents work and how building materials hold up over time. Anthony did a fantastic job on this. I had an inaccessible space up against a fence that I needed sealed off from rodents and other pests, and Anthony had the presence of mind to not just tack up a bunch of wire mesh (that's what I'd thought to do) but instead build several complete and tight-fitting wooden structures *anchored in concrete* and securely fixed to all surrounding surfaces with screws and caulk to create complete and long-lasting seals. He and his co-worker Luis spent a bit under 2 days working on this project, and saved me a huge headache. They were both friendly and neat with their work. They were extremely respectful of my space and our neighbors, and generally just really pleasant people to worth with. The final bill came in well within our pre-agreed range, and I'm 100% happy. We coordinated work times and meetups by text message, which was super-convenient for me...I find it frustrating how a lot of larger, more established businesses insist on phone coordination through their offices during business hours only. That just isn't how I work, and Anthony was able to meet me on my terms - very deeply appreciated. You won't find a lot of reviews for Anthony or RIP, as he's had his own business only a year or so now. Don't be put off by this - here is an earnest, hardworking professional who is certain to leave you satisfied. I plan to call him again in the future for rodent-proofing work, for insulation work, or anything else where sealing up spaces and keeping things tidy needs an experienced eye and a thoughtful mind. read more

I live in San Jose now. I am heartily recommending Anthony and Rodent innovative Professionals. My wife unexpectedly encountered a rat week of Labor day. The next day we saw a lot of rat droppings and a gnawed banana. Freaked out - called Anthony. He responded same day and did a thorough check. Set traps in crawl space and attic. His quotes for Rodent proofing were fair and honest. Next day - sure enough a rat was in the snare. He has done a great job in Rodent proofing the house at various places and has so far followed up on various things. So far - very happy with the quality of work and responsiveness. read more

Heard something running above in the attic, called Anthony, and Marlene came and inspect. Marlene is very friendly and professional, he checked very carefully and did awesome job. The price is reasonable. Scheduling is very easy. Highly recommended! read more

I knew that I had rats in my garage when I found a lot of rat poop on the garage floor. I called several different companies in the area for a free estimate. Rodent Innovative Professionals (RIP) was one of these companies. To compare the different companies, I considered the estimator's inspection during the first visit and the cost of the services. It was readily apparent that RIP (Anthony Cardenas) conducted the most attentive and comprehensive inspection. Anthony climbed the ladder to the roof and was the only one who carefully inspected the roof and surrounding structures. He sent me pictures of the gaps and holes that made it easy for rats to invade the house at various points. He explained how these weak points contributed to the recurring rat infestation. Based on his diligence and excellent customer service during the free fee estimate and the very reasonable price that RIP offered, I decided to entrust RIP with my business. To address the current rat infestation, RIP placed traps in the crawlspace, attic, and garage. The service includes two return trips to check the traps, remove rats that are caught and place new traps. To prevent future rat infestations, RIP also sealed the holes throughout the house with screens and filled the gaps with protective material. Anthony returned two times as promised to check the traps that he had set. He ended up catching two rats, one in the attic and one in the crawlspace. More importantly, Anthony had rodent-proofed the house to make it harder for the rats to return. I live in an area that was once populated with fruit orchards, and many houses still have a fruit tree or more, so there are many temptations for the hungry rat. Eliminating the rats from the neighborhood may be impossible, but I can at least ensure that rats will find it more challenging to enter my house. Overall, I am very satisfied with RIP and Anthony and Marlene's service. If anyone is looking for a rodent pest control professional who is responsible, knowledgeable, patient and hard-working, Rodent Innovative Professionals is the way to go! read more

The situation was BAD. I mean rats coming in and out and hanging out on the kitchen counter kinda bad. Anthony did such a great job on rodent removal and rodent proof the house. It took him at least 4 visits to ensue everything was gone. He was on time, and very professional. He was honest and explained to me everything he would be doing through out the process. I couldn't be happier with the result and I would highly recommend his service to others! read more

Anthony's company is outstanding. Marlene and he are so responsive, polite and professional. We had a massive rat problem. I called 5 other companies off Yelp and RIP (Rodent Innovative Professionals) was the first to return our phone call inquiries, He showed up the same day provided a quote and put in over 12 hours inspecting our house, plugging up every potential entry point from the exterior, roof, under the crawl space, and inside the house. Part of his contract is to come 4 times after to check the rat traps and address potential new entry points. He has come 3 times now and again, quick response, professional, and polite. He is a true gentleman. We would highly recommend Anthony and RIP. They know what they are doing! read more

Wow wow wow!!! I can't recommend Anthony enough! I posted a request through Yelp at around 6:30pm hoping to get service call for the next business day. Anthony replied to my post in less than 10 minutes and he said he could go to my house that evening. He got there at 7:30pm and investigated the strong unpleasant smell coming from the attic. It turned out that a rat had got in the attic and a trap got it! He removed the animal and returned the next day to seal off any openings. His prices were affordable and he was great with communication and courteous. Thank you Anthony!!! read more

I called Rodent Innovative Professionals on Friday and they offers a free inspection on the following Tuesday. The guy did an awesome job. He went around my house to check the foundation and also climbed to roof to check any possible vent holes. He checked vey carefully. In the end he told me my house condition is good and there is nothing to worry about. I really appreciate his honesty. He really care about customer's interest, instead of charging you money. read more

Both Anthony and his assistant are amazing! Anthony came for an inspection on the same day, and did the sealing work within the week. After his traps starting catching mice, he picked up each one on the same day or the following day. He also offers a 90-day warranty. His charge is fair, and way lower than the other big pest companies. I am extremely satisfied with his work, and highly recommend him to anyone that has rodent problems. read more

Contacted Anthony after noticing a smell in the attic as we've had rodent problems in the past and actually trapped one a few weeks ago. He was the only one of the several companies I contacted who responded so quickly and was willing to come out at 9:30pm to take care of the issue asap due to the urgency of the bad smell. Although he couldn't find any dead rodents (it may have been leftover smell of the prior animal), he promptly came back the next day to seal up some potential entry holes. Exceptional service and very professional, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to my clients. read more
