I had a positive experince with Vanish. They answered my request for service through Yelp very quickly, and scheduled an on-site visit for the next day. They were able to identify some piles of dirt as evidence of ant colonies, and recommended over the counter treatment we could do ourselves. They offered a reasonable price for spraying, but did not pressure us to take it. Will use again. read more

Victor responded right away, came out for the inspection the next day, walked me through what kind of termites we had and the extent of the damage. But then he vanished. Did not respond to emails or calls. Treatment didn't work and two year guarantee was worthless even though expensive to purchase. Found other termites shortly after the complete inspection and even the treated areas had signs of droppings again a year later. Would not recommend. read more

Found a weird looking mud string hanging from my bathroom ceiling and a quick web search pointed to subterranean termites as the likely cause. My first thought was that my bank account was about to be drained. I messaged Victor through Yelp and he was very responsive. He was out the next day, gave me a very reasonable quote and immediately put me at ease. A few days later, the job was done. So far no more signs of termites but even if they do return, he guarantees his work for 2 years. read more

David came out and did a fantastic job! They were able to come out very quickly and solved my problem which was honey bees in the Attic.

Wonderful service! They provided a diagnostic within 1-2 days of requesting it and were extremely accommodating with my work schedule, met me at the place I was staying to accept payment, and stayed in communication with me. No more carpet beetles and I couldn't be happier! read more

Couldn't be happier I gave Vanish a call. Within a few hours we had someone on site inspecting. We noticed evidence of termite damage and not only did we get an honest assessment of our issue, but the case was so minor they did a treatment all on the spot! They really put us at ease and it was incredible to have someone really talking through our options and focused on value. There not only wasn't an up sell here, they explained risk, what to look for and what to avoid as far as "snake oil" services. Could not recommend Vanish more for honest, quick and effective service. One of the best service experiences I've had! read more

Victor came out to take a look at my deck for pest (termite / wood boring beatles) treatment. He was very knowledgable, patient, and explained what he was seeing and how it could be treated. When I explained that we would be likely replacing the infested parts of the deck within the year, he recommended that we could just save our money on treatment now, put it towards the new pieces, and consider doing a preventative treatment in the future because it wasn't an urgent situation. I definitely appreciated his honesty as I could have been convinced to complete the treatment on the spot, but he took in all of the info, and provided a logical route even though it wasn't necessarily beneficial to business. I will definitely call Victor for my future preventative treatment or any other related services. read more

I am currently working with Victor and felt he was reliable, accommodating for a day of service - we had just moved into a property and when a property is vacant for a long time, all sorts of bugs move in. Victor was factual, explaining how and where bugs enter - the initial service he would do, and when he didn't have a high enough brush to reach the top of my home, he did not charge me for the service (which included a spray) and is basically having someone else come after the fact to sweep my home again for cobwebs. Lastly, if you're reading the other reviews, know that Victor is an honest person and was up front about everything. I recommend the current owner of this business address publicly on Yelp that those customers were reached out to, feedback was collected, and Victor has incorporated it into his current business. I would hire Victor again in a heartbeat - and we likely will have to given how many friendly critters live nearby read more

I'm writing a review as a warning to others to get a second opinion -- I called Vanish and was able to get a quick, free inspection because I feared we had white fungus growing on the wood beams in our basement. Victor showed up and was very friendly. He showed us old evidence of termite damage, and poked around and told us very confidently that the white coloring on the wood was white fungus and that it needed to be treated soon, or else the fungus could end up doing more damage to the wood than termites. He recommended an $1100 anti-fungal spray treatment. I was worried because I have a young child at home, and didn't want to spray if needed, plus it sounded expensive. I ended up getting other quotes and opinions from 3 other pest inspectors, all of whom assured me that the white coloring was NOT white fungus, but instead, leftover residue from when they built the home and used the wood as form boards for pouring concrete. They assured me that there was no need to spray anything at all, that the white coloring was just aesthetic. I felt pretty disappointed that Victor, who otherwise was a very personable professional, made a totally incorrect assessment and tried to sell us something we didn't need at all, and worst of all, could expose our home and young child to unnecessary chemical treatments. Best to do your due diligence and call other places before getting up-sold on treatments that you don't need. read more

Excellent service and especially good considering I made a request Christmas Eve got an immediate response from Art. They treated my home on Boxing Day morning, no fuss or drama and did exactly what they said they would do. I'm super impressed and would highly recommend this company, congrats to the owner and management team read more

Victor responded right away, came out for the inspection the next day, walked me through what kind of termites we had and the extent of the damage, and the safety / environmental impact of the chemicals he uses to treat with respect to my dog and family. The treatment was east and efficient. Comes with a two year guarantee. I was pretty worried when I saw the droppings that we had a major problem and I'm glad I called Vanish to help understand and solve it. read more

This review is preliminary, about initial engagement and inspection. Victor from Vanish was able to come same day and assess our supposed emergency situation as a non-situation. The SF Peninsula is basically a big termite hill we all live on, so it is a matter of when not if you'll need remediation. We've had work done in the past. In this case the live termite we captured turned out to be unusual species of earwig. Victor's continued inspection turned up no true activity or trouble spots. Glad to have a no go recommendation this time. We'll look to Victor and Banish in the future. read more

He was quick to respond to my request for an appointment. I book with him, since I notice the quick response. I didn't take on other people's offer for appointment. Then, appointment day, No show. After that, no response when I ask him if he is still coming. Totally unprofessional read more

Had an odd issue this morning. Somehow some small birds made there way into my kitchen fume hood ducting and got stuck there. I called a few exterminators and Victor was the first to reply. He showed up promptly at the window of time he said. After a brief conversation about what's going on and some thought on how best to remove said birds from the ducting we went to work. He exercised great care in getting the birds out. He completed the job in under 15 minutes, he said the work was so atypical and quick that he refused my money. I insisted many times on paying him something for helping out but he refused the whole time. I really appreciate his help and want to state how rare it is to meet someone with this kind of character. This goes to show his professional, work ethic and humanity. I will definitely keep his number in my phone for any future pest challenges I or any of my friends and family may have. Pick this guy and his company to help you out. read more

After going through what feels like the pest-plague I can assure you I have a tremendous amount of experience working with Victor at Vanish. There are no cons working with him. I have only accolades and praises for him and his technicians who have saved my sanity from the bugs that have plagued our house. What I love most about Victor and his crew is: - knlowegable about pest; this guy knows his bugs! - extremely responsive and reliable - Gives it to you straight. He's not out to hustle you. Tells you the facts and his recommendation. How do I know all this you ask? Well.... First it started with termites in out house that was a scene out of a horror movie. Next came a healthy infestation of ants who were living in the walls and coming out of the plugins and cracks. And finally, moths with a larvae village living in the elevator floor AND ceiling. Yup. This pandemic has turned into the plague-pandemic. Just hire him. He's the best. read more

Israel was fast, efficient, helpful and friendly. The mites seem to be gone and all household members (2-and-4 legged) are relieved. Thank you, Israel! Also, unlike other companies, the initial consultation is free. read more

I am so glad I found Victor and Vanish! They are the BEST!!! Victor does the job no matter what the pest. We originally called Vanish about possible unknown insects but we discovered a problem that could've been much worst- pigeon with eggs. Victor not only helped us with the insects but safely and humanely helped solve the pigeon problem as well. As a new mother, I am extremely grateful that he was able to get the job done and I did not have to put myself or my baby in danger. I will definitely keep their contact info! read more

With the big billion dollar pest control companies you're just a number. Vanish is different. Why? This team really cares about getting rid of pests and making sure you're taken care of. Really just a great group of honest guys and very helpful. We had some wood bugs in side of an imported wooden furniture and they came and got rid of the pests. Highly recommended. read more

I called Victor in the morning regarding a termite issue. He sensed my urgency and was at my house within 2 hours! Luckily it was something he can take care of in the spot and didn't require another trip. He was very professional and courteous. He offered to remove his shoes in the house and also respected COVID guidelines. I would 100% give Victor a call (hopefully I won't have to) if I have any other pesky termite problems. read more

I had Victor come over for an initial inspection and he was communicative and extremely prompt- right on the dot at 10am as discussed! Victor right off the bat has a kindness you don't find in most inspectors- or at least the ones i've delt with in the past. He is courteous, thorough, and caring- and made me feel heard and at ease! The house I live in has two units and the unit above us first found the rodent droppings in the garage and called an exterminator to come to an inspection- in comparing the inspection they did vs Victor- Victor was more thorough, found droppings the other guy didn't and explained what we needed to do to prep. He even wrote up a summary of the visit for us to pass to our landlord. I couldn't recommend him more! read more

Victor came in on short notice for a same-day inspection while I would've had to wait for a week for other pest inspectors, which I really appreciated. He is super professional and sincere and gave us some critical insights on weak spots in our crawl space that other inspectors had never pointed out. In the end, he recommended that we contact a structural engineer for the issues that we were facing. I appreciate how thorough he was and the clear communication (he texted ahead of time to let me know he'd be there in 30 minutes). I wouldn't hesitate to contact Victor again for any pest-related issues! read more

Victor came by and took a look at our house where we suspected termites near an exposed exterior. It was done expertly and he was very knowledgeable and explained the options and types and risks. He promptly came back the following day and took care of the entire issue and treated the perimeter of our house. He was very polite, on time and made sure to cleanup and put things into place as he promised. I would recommend Vanish and their team for others. read more

This Company for over a year defrauded my senior disabled HUD sponsered apartment complex. They were just sitting in the parking lot and occasionally dusting one gate for spider webs. They were supposed to be servicing the non- toxic rat traps. They were supposed to be puting a peanut butter scent in the trap and then come back to retrieve the trapped rodent. Once they put rodent poison bait that they were not authorized to use on this property. Seems like now action is being taken as Vantage Solutions just installed all new Non toxic Rodent traps and may have different personel. I feel this company should at the very least give a years credit refund for the lousy service. read more

I had a problem with mites. Art came out on short notice. He was very courteous and knowledgeable. He put covers on his shoes when he was in the house. He did a great job, explaining the situation to me and making me comfortable with the treatment that he proceeded to perform. I'm very happy with the services. read more

Victor has come by our home twice, inspected the situation, and given us extremely helpful advice WITHOUT charging us because the needed work would be cheaper for us to do ourselves. He's protected our house from pests without taking a dollar from us yet. We wish more people we work with were so principled! read more

They offered the best price, came & finished less than 24 hours after I contacted them, plus Victor is a super friendly guy. Definitely five stars. read more

We had an ant issue in our new place. We contacted a few pest control service providers and Victor was the 1st one replied. Victor is nice, responsive and efficient. He came on site in the same week to do the inspection and scheduled the initial visit for us the week after. We've done our initial service and all ants are gone. We ordered bimonthly service and everything is good so far. read more

Victor was great. He was super honest and made the best recommendations for us regardless of what was in it for him. He was not a "salesman" - just a real knowledgable person about how to best control pests. He taught us a lot about our spider problem and things we could do ourselves to keep it at bay. We received multiple quotes for our project and the ranges were pretty extreme... the quote from Victor and Vanish Pest Solutions was the best value out of all of them. Will 100% hire him whenever we need him again. Would highly recommend that anyone in the bay area looking for pest control reach out to him first. read more

Victor was very responsive. He came right away on Friday afternoon when most other companies are already closed. He inspected, treated, and got rid of my worry about termite within one evening! I will definitely contact him again should we need help for any pest control. Thank you! read more

Although I ultimately chose a different route due to personal preference. I was extremely impressed with this company's responsiveness and professionalism. Victor arrived to my home and was very considerate and respectful. I typically would not feel great about having a man I don't know in my house. But he was very mindful of personal space as well as respectful of my home. He took his time and was extremely generous with knowledge and very patient at answering my questions. I'd recommend this company to anybody. read more

Called Victor because we caught a rat (yes rat) in our garage! He was extremely fast to respond, stopped by our place within an hour, and did a site assessment to offer his ideas on how to resolve our rodent problem. Oh yes, and he also was kind enough to release our long tailed friend into the wild again. read more

Excellent experience. Victor came out to Marin (a long way from his last appointment) to inspect my hardwood floors for suspected wood beetles as there were a number of holes in my relatively new flooring. When he inspected he thought there was a problem with the flooring/nailing rather than any pest problem. He was super friendly and not at all non-plussed that he had come all the way here for what turned out to be zero realized business for him/the company. Good communication on confirming appointment. I would totally call on Victor if I ever have a pest need. read more

AMAZING! This is why... 1. quick response (from calling him to him coming out to do the work) 2. works with your schedule 3. answers all questions you may have 4. personable 5. really calm (I don't like pushy people to overly tell me I need to spend more money) very please, thank you so much! read more

This is a long overdue review of Vanish Pest and Termite Solutions. Vanish has come to our rescue three times in the past 16 months. Each and every time, they were responsive, punctual, accommodating and professional. Kudos to Victor who has gone above and beyond to assist us in our repellent needs. Thank you Vanish for your great service and solutions!! read more

Definitely recommend Victor & vanish solutions! Came to our home same day and offered excellent consultation. He was kind, very professional and gave sound advice. We will use their services after some HVAC repairs get done. Thanks Victor! read more

ask for victor. my puppy & i had been scratching from something in our backyard. (vet found no fleas, i suspected spiders.) i accepted vanish pest's bid over competitors' for treating whatever was biting us b/c victor was responsive, experienced & honest. i trusted him & assistant andres right away when they showed up for the inspection. they were very professional. i won't hesitate to reach back out to vanish in the future. read more

Very responsive and quick to schedule an appointment, but that's where the positives end. This seems to be a minor mess cleanup company and not a full service pest control company. I noticed some termite droppings and dry rot, but wanted a more thorough inspection. Victor did go into a few areas, but I had to ask for them and I don't feel like anything was inspected closely at all. He didn't even look closely enough at the problem area - he thought a bunch of siding was concrete. His recommendation on dry rot - "leave it and let the elements get it". Sorry, but this leaves me with no confidence. The proposed fix for the termites: expanding foam spray at a cost of $350. This foam is $8 a can at Home Depot. I get that this was a free inspection but I would have been happy to pay for a proper evaluation if it was offered. This was never proposed. read more

I can't say enough good things about this company. Last year I had ground termites take up residency and Victor made them vanish. This year another species "dry termites" showed up. I swear, my house is a seasonal termite resort. I reached out to Victor again and he set up an appointment. He showed up right on time, answered all my questions and efficiently treated the area. Very knowledgeable, efficient and great customer support. Highly recommend. read more

I had an inquiry with Victor after seeing some heart-stopping swarming termites on a window screen at my house. Over the phone, he let me know that termites are swarming at the moment because of changes in weather. Although they are looking for places to build new colonies, it doesn't happen automatically--you need a king and queen to establish one and it takes years. I was impressed by his honesty and forthrightness with information. Thank you Victor! read more

Did not show up to our appointment and was not able to reach, did not give any reason and no communication whatsoever.
