I had a great experience with Saddleback. Very quick to respond. I sent out a request through Yelp to remove some wasp nests. The entire process was completed within two and a half days. Ryan came out to remove the nests and he did a fantastic job. I definitely recommend this company! read more

We scheduled our initial service with this company yesterday after seeing their high rating on yelp. We were told that the technician was going to arrive between 2-5 pm. Originally, I couldn't be on property due to other commitment but I chose to stay in the end since I thought it's the first service and I probably should be at home. But then, it was 4:30 pm and the technician still didn't arrive. I really need to go to other places so I left the house. Around 5 pm, I received a call from technician Jacob and was told that he's running late. I really appreciate him being communicative and told him that's completely fine, and he could come into the yard even if im not there. According the report I received, he came in at 6:30 and left around 6:55. I came home around 7:30 so like 30 minutes after the service. I still find really obvious spider webs everywhere in the yard. I reached out to the company via text to explain the problem and asked if the technician had problems with getting into the yard. I did receive a call back from Rachel the owner. I appreciative the fast communication. But throughout the call, I was told that my expectations were unrealistic. I think cleaning out big spider webs on the outer obvious part of the bush should not be an unrealistic expectation? I believe that if a customer is communicating a concern, especially if it's constructive for next time like I want more spider webs gone, Rachel, or whoever the communication person is, shouldn't be coming to conclusions so soon. On the phone, first I was told that cleaning out every spider web in the bush is unrealistic. But I did not ask to clear out every spider web, I asked to clear out the gigantic obvious ones hanging on the bush. Then, I was told that they could not just sprinkle chemicals on the bush due to some regulations. But what about just clearing them out. Then, I was told that spiders come out at night time that the spider webs could be new. But, they were there this morning, and I came home thirty minutes after service and all the six spider webs were knitted within the thirty minutes? Those piders are damn good with timing and damn busy in that thirty minutes I guess. The whole call experience was as if they were not trying to solve the problem but to shut you down. And, I did not think that I was even rude or mad on the phone call, instead I really calmly stated the issue and wanted a solution. read more

Amy provides excellent consultation which is why I chose Saddleback. We're very pleased with our initial service. read more

They were quick to respond and came out next day for wasps! Their prices were reasonable too.

Jakob was amazing every step of the way. We had a rodent issue that we tried to resolve on our own, but within the first two visits Jakob was able to take care of our issue. Always on time, professional and knowledgeable. read more

Kevin, Bruno Matt and office staff was great to work with. They showed up on time and did quality work. Service requested was termite inspection and treatment inside and out. Great value! I recommend them highly!! read more

Very responsive, cordial and friendly. We did not end up going with them more due to a desire to try a more kid and pet friendly approach to getting rid of insects on our property first but if it doesn't work out we'll be contacting them again. read more

If you want to team up with a company that's all about professionalism, reliability, and honesty, then you've got to give Kevin Pena at Saddleback Termite & Pest Control a shout. They're not just responsive, but they show up on time like clockwork and deliver top-notch, thorough service. Before you call you should note they are busy as any good company is these days. They were able to fit me in a reasonable time. I highly recommend them. read more

This is the most sneaky company, they offer the different price and the cheat on contract, finally I had to pay extra 100$ to stop the contract. I will never get them again. read more

Outside pest control service was thorough and Ethan was efficient and very competent. It's nice to know Saddleback has this area covered for a decent price. read more

Matt and his crew are finishing up on repairing the damaged patio cover and other wood areas on my house. They have been working diligently to do the needed repairs and consult when there are choices to be made, rather than just choosing the easiest route. I chose them because of their reviews and because I was impressed with the expertise of Kevin, the owner. He was the only one to discover subterranean Termite damage on my property. read more

Initial call was great, I was given detailed info and she answered all my questions. They sent out a very kind gentleman and he attended to any of our areas of concern, also their pricing was better than most. read more

Thank you Ryan for a great experience. You were attentive to areas I wanted to focus on and paid close attention to extra care around my growing broccoli and strawberries. Thank you for keeping my home ant and spider free. I highly recommend Saddleback Pest Control read more

They couldn't fix my problem, a termite swarm in my Tea Tree. But they gave me great advise on how I could take care of the problem. They didn't want to risk killing my tree and I appreciated that so much. read more

Ethan once again was outstanding. Very nice and very good. This was our second time using this company and we will continue to use them in the future if need be. Thanks again! read more

Thank you Kevin and team for such great service! Saddleback Termite's communication was outstanding, from start to finish! With crazy schedules we appreciated the text reminders and timely follow up. Super friendly and professional interactions the entire time. We also appreciated how patient Kevin was with all of our questions! read more

We hired Saddleback for regular pest control services after concluding an expensive contract with another vendor. They are reasonably priced and their service is great. Good communication on their part. The technician was competent, friendly and helpful . I highly recommend them. read more

Ethan was professional, on time, kept me informed on what he was doing and he was so courteous! Thank you Ethan!

Ryan was friendly, answered my questions before I had to ask them, very easy to communicate with.

This is my first service with this pest control company, and I'm impressed. Jacob was punctual, professional, and courteous. He answered all of my questions and concerns and proceeded on his pest-fighting mission. I discovered ants indoors, and that's what prompted me to call. Jacob did interior and exterior of my home, and I had to be away for a minimum of 2 hours, out of the home. I'm very happy so far, and I appreciated Jacob's customer service and expertise. No issues or problems, so far so good. The price of my bi-monthly service is reasonable. If you're looking for quality pest control, look no further. Highly recommended! read more

Ethan is absolutely wonderful! He is prompt, communicative, professional and an absolute sweetheart - very kind and caring. He listened to my needs and explained how the recent climate has affected the insect community. He always asks permission to walk through the house to get to the back patio and lets me know when he is done. I kind of go off the deep end about spiders, so thank you, Ethan for being kind and patient and listening to me - you are truly a godsend to my spider phobia! See you next time! Thank you!! read more

I have been using Saddleback Termite & Pest Control for several years and am very pleased with their work. They respond very promptly when requested to perform an inspection. Their inspections are very thorough and they clearly know what they are doing. Everyone who I have dealt with at the company from Kevin who performs our inspections to Rachael in the office could not be more pleasant to deal with. I have found them to be very trustworthy. read more

Excellent responsiveness and good at accommodating of our needs. Good customer service and support.

He helped empty a cabinet that I was afraid to touch. We threw away all the things that seemed to have ants. He sprayed in bathrooms and kitchen. And then he sprayed outside on patio and in garden. He was also concerned for my safety, so he went back into the house to get my car keys and phone. read more

I'm very happy with my service from Saddleback Termite and Pest Control. Our technician was very professional and answered all of our questions, he did a great job! read more

We called Saddleback Termite to come out and inspect our home because we saw droppings in the attic spaces. As a matter of background, we tented 7 years ago and were concerned that the termites had already infested our home again. The gentleman that came out was professional and knowledgeable. He let us know that the droppings we saw were actually old (from pre-tenting), but that movement in our attic space (like hitting the beams with storage boxes) could cause the droppings to fall out of old existing holes. He explained the difference in color in droppings and how long termites need to infest before you start seeing them. In the end, he didn't try to sell us anything...said local treatments would be a waste of our money... and let us know to call them out again in three years or so for a follow up inspection as we should probably tent every 10 years or so due to the coastal climate. It was so nice to have someone come out and not try to sell me something I don't need. Very refreshing. Will definitely be using this company in the future when it comes time to tent. read more

Kevin the owner came and provided a termite inspection and identified numerous termite and water damages. He provided a quote for repair as well as tenting the house. I got a fumigation quote from a highly rate company HOxxxxxxxx which gave me a price $2000 higher than Saddleback. They spent 5 days replacing and repair the facia, put back the gutter. They sweep the floor everyday before leaving and return at 8 everyday. I would recommend read more

Ethan did a great job of dewebbing and refreshing the mosquito In2mix trap. The products they use and the careful application have greatly reduced the mosquito population in our yard and the black widows too. Ethan takes pride in doing a good job and checking with us to see if we have any concerns. We have done business with Kevin, the owner, for years to stay on top of dry rot and termites over the years. Always a great job. read more

Kevin came out I had some concerns of termites in my railroad ties and had termites in the house I fumigated 3 years ago. Kevin said at this time i wont need service and gave me alot of good info. Thanks for being honest. read more

Kevin was great. He came out to take a look for termites and fascia boards. Gave honest feedback and suggestions and based on how old our roof was recommended we ensure roof in good condition (don't fix fascia if roof needed to be redone). Really wish all contractors were like this! read more

Friendly and knowledgeable, killed our termites and fixed all the damage from the little buggers... did great work!

Jacob is excellent! He is very knowledgeable about pests and how to treat them to keep them under control. He is also genuinely polite and courteous. We have been fortunate to have had him as our main technician since we started our monthly service with Saddleback. (Also I want to acknowledge Amy in the main office- she is very kind and super helpful with scheduling services and appointment.) read more

In December 2017, my attic was treated with Bora-Care and Termidor by Saddleback Termite. Eleven months later in November 2018, wings of termites were seen on the floor of the attic. Since it was still within the one year warranty, technician sent by Saddleback Termite sprayed my attic with Bora-Care again. In November 2019, more wings of termites were found in my attic. Although I do not expect Bora-Care prevents termites for as long as 12 years as stated by the manufacturer, annual treatment should not be needed if enough solution was sprayed and soaked into the wood. 9/7/2020 Update to the above review: Thank you Kevin for the quick response. It is good that the one year warranty was honored in Nov. 2018. However, in Nov. 2019, wings were seen in the SAME place again, but no dead termite bodies were found. From my understanding, Bora-care will kill the drywood termites when they try to enter the wood as long as the chemical penetrates the wood. So I called your office in Nov 2019 and asked the question that if there were only wings on the floor but no bodies, did that mean the termites already entered the wood? Unfortunately, the answer was yes. Bora-care should definitely work much longer then just one year if applied properly. I was wondering why I had to have the chemical sprayed on the same wood surface year after year? Following the signs of infestation in the attic again(assuming the info I heard from your office was correct), I was in the process of contacting termite control companies. But due to the pandemic, the job has been postponed until now. read more

I really appreciated the heads up that Ethan was on the way and notification that he arrived and when service was completed. I checked out the screened area in my back yard and he did a great job removing all the webs. Thank you, read more

For the first time in my adult life as a homeowner since Dursban was banned in 2001 I could not control the Argentine ants that were invading our home. The store bought sprays were ineffective. The bait traps worked but split the colonies and the ants came right back. Everything about my experience with ST&PC was stellar. The communication with office staff member Priscilla was on point. Bo who came out to spray was super knowledgeable and professional. He got rid of all the ants inside and out. With budget woes thanks to the pandemic, we can't currently afford their bi-monthly service but I won't hesitate to call them again when needed. They are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them! read more

This was a great company to work with. Every person that I interacted with with friendly, professional and competent. We were having some work done on the outside of our home and the other contractor mentioned that we had termite damage. We called Saddleback Termite and Kevin (the owner) came out to do the initial inspection. Kevin spent a lot of time answering questions and did a very thorough inspection of the whole outside of the house and the attic. We were sent a quote with within 24 hours. We had received a quote from another company too, but decided to move forward with Saddleback because we felt that Kevin had done a very detailed inspection and told us that despite the termite damage, was fixable and it seemed that he could treat the termite damage with spot treatment rather than having to tent the house which we wanted to avoid. This was not the cheapest quote that I got, but when you are having work done on /in your home, it's not always about the cheapest price. Ideally, you want someone you feel you can trust working in your home and we had that with Kevin. It was also very easy to communicate with the office, both Rachel and Amy were quick to answer any questions and got back to me immediately with any queries. It was also very easy to schedule a day which suited us. On the day of the job, two crew members, Shane and Oscar, showed up and spent the whole day working through the damaged areas, using wood filler where they could and replacing and painting the wood where needed. Both Shane and Oscar did a fantastic job and worked tirelessly. They were polite, hard working and cleaned up any mess that was made during their work. I appreciated this a lot, as we have had experiences of people doing work and then leaving a mess which we have had to clean. I can't say enough about how happy I am that we selected this company for the job. Thank you to Kevin, Rachel, Amy, Shane and Oscar! read more

Kevin was extremely informative and thorough. I had 3 inspections performed by Newport Pest, Orkin, and Saddleback, and there was no comparison in terms of service. He answered all of my questions and explained the entire process of how the colony develops, as well as the differences between my options and his recommended treatment / why. He did a thorough inspection of my attic, when one of the others didn't even bother to go up and check. The experience made the decision of who to work with easy. read more

Called Saddleback termite and they responded and scheduled us quickly. Jacob came by and was through and had a lot of knowledge about our situation. We were very glad we called. read more

He did a very though job today in my yard, which is big ! Thank you Saddleback. This is why I use them !

We scheduled a one-time indoor/outdoor extermination for ants. This last heat wave was over the top and the usual remedies from the nursery just weren't enough. I called Saddleback Termite & Pest Control, and the representative got me an appointment within 48 hours. They would have fit me in the very next day, but I have two cats that I needed to catch and take out of the house while the spray dried inside. It's easier to find and catch both of them in the morning so we opted to wait an extra day. Ethan Audette, our technician arrived just a bit after 8am. He explained all that he would be doing both inside and out, and got it done very efficiently and quickly. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough. I would not hesitate to recommend Saddleback Termite & Pest Control. It will be the first call I make the next time I need help. And you know, when you have ants, you want them gone NOW not a week from now. Especially with pets as they go after their food and my cats are scared of them. Thank you, Ethan, and Saddleback Termite & Pest Control! read more
