    Closer look at what the plumeria mutated into
    Dolly F.

    August 2025 I HIRED THE BUGMAN FOR THEIR EXPERTISE SO MY TREES AND PLANTS WOULD NOT BE RUINED BY OVERSPRAY BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! We've been emailing Oliver from The Bugman. We initially asked for nutrients for a plumeria tree. Months later we were given 1 bag of nutrients for a palm tree and a citrus tree. Each bag was enough for one large tree. (Definitely not enough for all the damage they did.) I couldn't use either bag for my plumeria tree. We asked if they could reimburse us to remove and replant a tree and they refused. They said it was not their expertise. During all of this back and forth emailing with Oliver, I received an email from their corporate office saying their increasing their quarterly rate yet again (increases happen almost every year we've been with them) so that was the tipping point for us. I found an amazing replacement for under $100 a quarter. Private message me for their contact info.

    How are they with ant control?

    Great! Haven't had ants or water roaches in the house since they started spraying the perimeter of the home on a quarterly basis. They said that I can scale it back to every 6 months but I haven't changed the frequency yet

    We've been using this pest control company since we moved into our home in August 2025, and I…read morehonestly can't say enough good things about them. They've always been reliable, professional, and incredibly responsive. If I text with a question, they text back. There was one time I was accidentally charged, and they refunded it immediately without any hassle. The owner has always been kind and easy to work with, and every technician we've had has been respectful and professional. One thing that really stood out to me recently was when we got a new puppy. A technician accidentally left our gate open, but instead of ignoring it, he personally texted me to apologize and took full responsibility. That kind of accountability says a lot about the people they hire and the culture they've built. As for the actual pest control--they do a great job. We rarely see spiders or bugs throughout the year. When summer rolls around and the ants start showing up, they come out and handle it quickly. If the ants get especially bad, they'll even come back for an extra service. Honestly, our biggest ant problem comes from neighboring properties, so that's not something any company can completely control, but they do everything they can to keep it under control. I get pest control companies knocking on my door all the time trying to earn my business, and I never even consider switching. Good customer service is hard to find these days, and this team consistently delivers it. Highly recommend.

We highly recommend Wipe Out Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable trustworthy pest control services.

    While the staff at Homeshield Pest Control have always been pleasant and I appreciate their use of…read morenatural treatments, I've been extremely disappointed with their lack of support in resolving our ongoing mice problem. Over the past two years, we've spent a significant amount of money with Homeshield to replace attic insulation and treat our home for rodent mites caused by repeated mouse infestations. Our insulation warranty was supposed to include service to prevent mice from re-entering the attic, yet new openings continue to appear and remain unaddressed. Each time an inspection is done, it takes weeks to schedule a follow-up appointment to actually seal the openings. Recently, after hearing mice again--now with a newborn in our home--we contacted Homeshield immediately. A technician quickly confirmed there were openings near our A/C line that needed to be patched, but for two weeks we were told they couldn't schedule the repair because the technician hadn't submitted the required diagram. When an appointment was finally scheduled, no repair was done--only additional traps were placed in the attic. After escalating the issue, we were told a manager could come re-inspect the home, but not until nearly a month after the initial report. At this point, I'm frustrated by the lack of follow-through and the amount of time I've had to spend chasing updates. We are simply not receiving the service promised under our insulation warranty and monthly maintenance plan, and we will likely be switching vendors soon. Unfortunately, based on our experience, I would not recommend Homeshield Pest Control.

I liked how quickly they responded to my emails and how friendly they seemed. Their price wasn't the cheapest, but they weren't the most expensive either. I was given a 3 hour window for the technician to arrive. Not only did he call me within that time frame, I also got a text with tracking that he was on the way. Eliot parked in front of the house (not on my driveway), wore shoe covers in the house, thoroughly explained what he was going to do, asked for permission before he entered my garage, knocked on any closed doors, and sprayed both inside and outside the house.

They handle the interior and exterior of your home, and did a superb job of battling back the 'ants problem' that define Irvine (sadly...and why UCI's mascot is the freakin' Anteater). Moreover, living next door to a hiking trail, Preventative did a great job of ensuring that we never had mice, rats or cockroaches. Techs were always super professional, polite, clean and respectful of our house (and our walls). Finally, they're competitively priced. Definitely give them a go!
