I had a bat trapped in my house for two days. Had no idea what to do. So panicked. Called Tahoma Specialty Pest Services. Got Vernon on the phone. Instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He made it to my house as quickly as he could. Talked me through everything and found the little guy in no time. Not all heroes wear capes. He is our Batman! So grateful for his expertise, prompt, reasonably priced service and just all around great guy! If you have any pests, call Vernon immediately. read more

I was in need of a pest control company... I found Vernon here on Yelp... The reviews for the company is the reason I decided to call Tahoma... After doing business with Vernon with Tahoma, I can say the reviews were spot on! Vernon was quick to respond, quick to come assess my home for me and the costs for his services were very reasonable! Vernon was very professional, knowledgeable and just a great guy!! I talked his head off with so many questions about carpet Beatles and moths and he took the time to answer each and every one.... I had him do some fogging in my attic which I'm very pleased with the results... You cannot go wrong with Vernon at Tahoma Pest Services! I will only call for Vernon with Tahoma for any other pest issues! Thanks Vernon for the fantastic customer service! read more

I was in such a state when my renter told me I had a flea problem! I only had a day between my next renter and I was heading out of town. I reached out to recommended pest control controllers around Spokane and after multiple "it's too last minute, it's the weekend, it's a higher fee for short notice requests" or just no pick up or response at all, I was lucky enough to find Vernon at Tahoma Pest. I was out of his way and it was an off day. But he took the time to ask about the pickle I was in and cared enough to go out of his way to help me out of it. I left cash and asked him to leave the change for me. He did! I would call this an above and beyond local pest control serviceman that really cares. I highly, highly recommend that you support this business! read more

I had an overwhelmingly great experience with Tahoma. I chose this company as I read good reviews and it was a local, individually owned company. Vernon arrived on time, despite squeezing me in on a busy day. He spent well over an hour thoroughly investigating my problem. He was honest, polite and professional. He discussed his reasons for his diagnosis and educated me on my problem. I would use him again and recommend him to anyone and to all my friends. He is reasonably priced as well. read more

Quick response time and prompt friendly service! I haven't seen a single ant since the treatment. I will use them again!

The problem turned out not to be a problem. Vern was quick to see the issue, which turned out to be lady bugs, there to control the aphids in the big tree. he explained they were larve on the house and this was a good thing. If I ever need pest services, he will be the one I call. read more

Vern has come out to my house usually once a year for the last 6 years, or so. It would be extremely hard to find a more knowledgeable person in this field that can master his skills. He knows his trade. On the business side...he is fair. There is never any pressure, no scare tactics, and no long sales pitches. Most important to me...he listens to the customer and is solution oriented. Besides all this...he's a great human being. read more

They did a great job - they were able to fit me in on short notice and fixed my problem fast.

Listened to our issue and provided advice along with expertise to address the cause of the problem.

I couldn't be happier.. Vernon seems very well versed in pest management and is just an overall friendly guy. He got me on the schedule the day after I called and he showed up on time. He returned a few days after his initial visit to check the traps and removed three large rats. He subsequently made two more visits to block entry points and check for additional pests. Luckily there were none. And all of this was for the upfront price. No charging for extra trips and giving us the feeling we were being taken advantage of. This was nice being that I had no prior experience working with a pest company, so I was very concerned what it was going to cost. If you think you have an issue definitely don't wait to call him. I can't imagine the damage these rats would have done if we waited. I will definitely use him with any future problems. Highly recommended! read more

We called Vernon after telling a friend about a rat problem that was starting. He came on time, crawled around under the house and checked out everything and found the problem spot. Gave me an estimate, then went to work for about an hour. That was Wednesday and today is Friday and I'm happy to report no more rats. He closed off the spot they were coming in. Set traps in case some were down there. Vernon came back today exactly when he said he would to check the traps, and no rats. I can finally sleep now. I highly recommend this business. read more

Vernon was great and incredibly knowledgeable. I called when I heard/ noticed a bird pecking at our house. Vernon came over and knew exactly what the issue was and gave us some great insight into the specific birds that were coming in. He was able to get one of his workers to come very quickly to put metal mesh over our ventilation holes so the birds wouldn't able to get in. Overall a fantastic job. Would highly recommend! read more

Awesome customer service and price! Knowledgable, friendly, and not only a quick response time but quick work. Gave us a time between 8-10, he was here exactly at 8! Thank you for our service! Months later and he still regularly checks in! Unbelievable business ethics and service. read more

Completely satisfied with their service. I called today in hopes of getting an appointment next week. They were able to come out same day. They were up front with pricing and courteous. I'll definitely use them again if needed. read more

This company was sent out to my place of work to remove a birds nest that had baby seagulls. The guy came out, he removed the birds nest alright, however, he tossed the baby seagulls off the roof. I called the company and asked them what their process was. I was informed that they only handle three types of birds, seagulls were not on that list. I told the lady what happened. She had the audacity to ask me what my "title" was, because my "title" is the only thing that matters in this situation. Instead of telling me they would look into this horrible ordeal, she told me they would pass along my message and someone "might" get back to me or contact property management. It's clear this company lacks morale. They might be an OK company for pest sprays and such, but definitely nothing regarding animal removing. Which is amazing that they would do birds nest removing if they are not qualified and don't train their employees correctly. read more

My wife and I purchased our first home in a rural area so we knew we would need a quality pest management company. I contacted Tahoma Pest Management and was pleased with his quick response and professionalism. He came out to home did a walk around and evaluation to asses my needs. The thing that stuck out to me was the honesty and professionalism when it came to pricing and making a plan of preventive pest maintenance. In my opinion nothing better than working with a small family owned company and even better someone who is as passionate about what they do. I look forward to my continued service and the opportunity to pass along referrals! read more

Tahoma Specialty Pest Services - Pest Control Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Vernon was fabulous! On time (actually early), very knowledgeable and explained the best approach to address my issue. Was fast and courteous. And being a beekeeper, he understood the importance of using earth safe pesticides while still addressing my pest issue. Definitely would hire him again and will recommend him to any of my friends. read more

Vernon showed up on time and did a great job getting the yellow jacket nest completely removed. Guaranteed the work and said to call and he would be right out if they returned. Very knowledgeable and willing to do what's needed to complete the job. Glad to have found a company you can depend on! Definitely recommend and will call again when needed. read more

We have used Tahoma Pest Management to remove a wasp nest and to take care of an ant problem. Both times, Vernon showed up exactly on time, and the prices were very reasonable. With the ants, he came the same day we called, did a full treatment inside and outside (which partly involved climbing up a gigantic ladder to put bait inside a ceiling fan fixture at the top of our 25-foot ceilings), and gave us a little bottle of his home-made honey to boot (it was delicious). Unfortunately, the ants came back a few weeks later (not unexpected or unusual, even after a treatment), and Vernon came back out the same day we called to do another treatment. He and his wife are really lovely people to work with, and they are very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended! read more

Contacted Craig Family Honey Farms/Tahoma Pest Management because I was sure Honey bees had set up a new nest in my attic and I wanted them moved if possible. After I described my situation to Vernon over the phone he was skeptical of my assessment and said he would come by to take a look later that day. Took him less than a minute to determine yellow jackets were taking advantage of an opening under our soffit and less than 20 minutes to suit up and treat the area. Bees were gone as promised within about 2 hours. He also reduced the price he quoted me over the phone (which was substantially less than what a few friends had told me they had spent for the same service) because the job wasn't as troublesome as he envisioned and because I originally called him as a bee keeper to preserve what I thought was a honey bee nest rather than calling him for his pest management company to have them destroyed. He spent some time with me afterwards sharing his knowledge and providing advice on our ongoing battle with spiders in the house. I have had to use a pest service several times over the years and was never moved by the service enough to write a review before. It's always nice to find a service provider you are so happy with that not only will you use them again you will look for opportunities to recommend them to others. read more
