This rating is about contacting the company and getting an estimate…read more We heard something behind our upstairs wall and called Mark at Crossfire Pest and Termites on a Saturday morning and he sent Francisco the same day. He did a quick inspection and gave a ballpark estimate. After a short discussion, he said he would talk to Mark to see if they could give us a discount. Mark did indeed. He offered to do sealing and trapping for half the initial ball park figure but with a 4 month warranty instead of one year. The shorter warranty and because the scope of their work would not be as broad as another contractor were the reason we did not go with Crossfire Pest and Termites. I would like to applaud Mark for offering a discount and his quick response.

Ten years ago, we had a major rodent infestation in our home (attic, subfloor and walls). These…read moreguys came out, sealed our home, cleaned the attic and subfloor areas, re-insulated and did not consider the job complete until there was no more evidence of the infestation. For the last 10 years, we have been rodent free. Recently we had major plumbing work done and some of the sealing work may have been compromised. We called The Original Rodent Proofers to come out and look at the prior job and tell us what needs to be done to re-seal the house. The inspector (Brandon) said that the plumbing contractor did a good job re-sealing but would look at each entry point and make sure that the job from ten years ago was still in good shape. This is being done at no charge since they stand by their work. These guys are a 5 star business.

I called around all the top reviewed places and decided on Original Rodent Proofing. They were…read morecompetitive, not the cheapest, but Shannon Lee sold me on their work, along with Brandon (owner's) call to check in and answer any questions. Their warranty on work done was another key factor. An electrician found a dead rat and droppings in the attic, so I needed clean up and rodent proofing. In the crawl space, a bunch of the ducts were unattached by wear and tear and plumbing work that had been done in the past (which I didn't know. No wonder my gas bill was so high over the winter!). Shannon and team cleaned everything up, sanitized, reattached the ducts and rodent proofed the whole house on the outside. Apparently the attic was vulnerable, as prior owners' foam had been chewed through in the eaves. After they were done they set traps which will be checked every few weeks. I will update if there are any further rodents but I am confident in the work by the company and team. I highly recommend this family owned company.

We would like to provide an update…read more Remember the unit Dan chose not to enter to inspect and just accepted comments from the residents? That was Tues, Oct 28. There were mice sightings in the unit the evening of Nov 1 (Sat). We emailed Dan on Nov 2 as per instructed to only communicate through email with him and not Cynthia, asking for immediate advice, action, and reiterating Nov 10 is way too long to wait especially now we still have mice around. No response yet from Dan. Again, does this guy have your best interest in mind? Well, Dan has already been paid in full, and I was told he had a big project this week.

In the end, I didn't hire Dan. The only reason is that it's difficult to get a hold of someone and…read morehis schedule seems pretty packed, so the earliest he can come is always a week or more out, whereas other exterminators and bug removal companies were able to schedule something in the next couple of days at most, sometimes the same day. I finally had something scheduled (actually canceled someone else because Dan's reviews seemed more encouraging) 11 days ahead. Before that date came around I had inspections/estimates from two more companies and the job done by one. (and likely better done than Dan because it sounds Dan wouldn't have opened up the wall to get to the nest) Finally I canceled my appointment by text and still haven't received acknowledgment of it two days later. People seem pleased with his services and I'm sure he's doing a good job considering he's booked like that, so only read this review for the scheduling part. But it's so important to get a hold of someone quickly when you're dealing with yellowjackets flying around your house and inside your garage. For what it's worth the quoted price to take care of a yellowjacket nest with sprays was in line with other businesses I talked to. But I was told he couldn't attack the nest directly because it was inside a wall. That seems limiting.

Gene delivered on his promise, and he's earned my loyalty for life. The best pest control service I've ever experienced, hands down!

But…read morethe No. 1 we recommend Capable Pest Control is more than their knowledgable and kind service: it's that they are super trustworthy and will not sell you or upsell you services if you don't need them. We called them again this year because we had a surprise ant attack --they came out of nowhere and skipped the honey and peanut butter and went straight for a tiny piece of ground meat stuck to the outside of my compost bin. The ants went as quickly as they came but we still wanted to spray just in case. Gene, the owner came by on time --he is reliable and punctual -- and pretty quickly determined that spraying was not needed. He checked some of the trees, remembering accurately some of the issues he had spotted the time he came to spray years ago. And he said, "no need to spray". And to keep an eye if things change or new issues arise. That's is the kind of expertise and business ethics you want. And the cost quoted is services had been rendered was good value.

So I requested a quote from eco energy bay area and Rami came for the inspection. He did notice my windows were old and he recommended not to do wall insulation until I fixed those windows first and he quoted me for both attic and crawlspace (walls for the future reference) as well. I took a while to respond back until I did more research and I finally chose this company. And I am happy that I did a right choice. The team took 4 days to finish my whole house ( Yes I decided to do wall insulation as well). I want to thank all the members who came for the service because they are professionals and willing to listen to us. Rami was very responsive throughout the project. I especially want to thank Antonio since his patching on the walls is fantastic and holes are unnoticeable after the patching. (that was my biggest concern) He was willing to listen to what I want and he's happy to do it. Now, my house is much warmer and cozier due to the team! Thank you!!

There has been this persistent smell of rodent urine in one of our closets for literally decades, no matter what we have done. Not any more! I could not recommend Rywen Insulation more highly for rodent control work. We've had rodent control people here before, but never at the level that Rywen takes things to. They put in place genuine long-term preventative measures to keep rats and mice out, not just patching holes. And that has made all the difference. No more smell in our under-the-stairs closet! And, I'm not sure if it is always a part of their service, but they offered us a one-year warranty. Rats and mice did return --- probably due to a contractor leaving our crawlspace door open overnight with the lights on, several times (oops). But Rywen took care of the problem immediately, no questions asked and no additional money requested, for the entire year of the warranty. They aren't cheap. But they are soooo worth it.
