"The inspection person was professional and thorough. He was helpful in recommending the level of service we needed, suggesting that spot treatment of affected areas would be sufficient to control termites for the next several years. The treatment itself was done promptly and without inconvenience to us."

"Trap snapped 2 hours after he left. Unfortunately it didn’t kill instantly and I had to finish the job as both my husband and exterminator not present. Had to put poor critter out of its misery. We are city folks living in country for first time and have a lot to learn. Yet very efficient company that uses traps and chemistry nontoxic to environment and my animals. We also have wasp and ant problems to be addressed later in year. Have great confidence they will help."

"Excellent customer service. During the first meeting they spent 1 hour & 45 minutes with me explaining everything they would do. My experience was so good that I will be hiring them for my regular pest control needs."

"We use Joshua's Pest Control for quarterly pest preventative services. They are always so reliable and thorough. James and Zach are so polite, friendly, and helpful! They are truly a pleasure to work with! Their prices are more than fair for the quality of service you receive so I would highly recommend choosing Joshua's Pest Control for your pest control needs."

"They got rid of the ants. We just thought we'd give them a try because we haven't had any pest control before."

"Great. Vince took care of the initial issue (ants) and when I asked hi to look at termites, he did a new complete review. Unfortunately, found several instances that needed treated and repaired and put together a reasonable estimate and schedule. I'll be able to rate that experiene next time."

"I am a repeat customer and this is not because their service suck, which is not. I am a repeat customer because they go over and beyond to fix our pest problems. Just recently, I called them to handle a rodent problem in one of our property and they again provided a courteous and quality pest control service that has sold us in the first place. Due to the complexity of the problem, they came several times to make sure they have completely removed the pests.

"I had a termite issue and reached out to Atomic Pest Control ? and I am so glad I did! Francisco was incredibly professional and responded quickly to my request. From the initial inspection to the treatment process, everything was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. If you are dealing with pests, I definitely recommend Atomic Pest Control. They made a stressful situation much easier to manage."

"This company uses the Orange Oil* and microwaves to treat for termites; and boric acid (Timborand reg;) on exposed wood to prevent future infestations. They use video cameras to look in the walls to determine which studs are affected.
Miguel was prompt on arrival, courteous and did a more thorough examination of the rafters than the previous termite inspector from another company. But it was clear that he was not nearly as experienced as another inspector from a third company that subsequently inspected our home.
He did not look in the attic nor check the crawl space under the floor. He relied on the previous inspection of another company that inspected the crawl space and found no termites. He only speculated as to how the termites were getting into the home, and did not verify the entry point.
We were quoted $720 to treat the affected studs, and $1260 to treat the affected studs and apply Timborand reg; to exposed wood for termites. (These prices include their 10% internet discount) The whole house treatment includes a 3 year warranty with yearly inspections. There is an option for an extended warranty at a cost of $200/year. The extended warranty is available only if the original warranty has not expired.
We considered this company, but subsequently learned from our county Agricultural Commissioner's Office that they see more repeat treatments when orange oil or microwave treatment is used compared to chemical treatment (fipronil aka. Thermadorand reg;, or fumigation). We are concerned this may indicate that the microwave and orange oil treatment are not as effective in eradicating termites despite a controlled study conducted by the University of California [Vernard R. Lewis et al, Journal of Economic Entomology 89(4): 922 - 934 (1996)) that suggests the method holds promise. The county Agricultural Commissioner's Office confirmed that boric acid treatment on exposed wood works well for prevention of termites and fungus.

*Addendum: At the end of the inspection we received a hand written estimate from Miguel based on the work and process we verbally discussed and he explained. We did not receive a written estimate until after this review was written. There is a discrepancy in what we believe we were told (that they use Orange Oil) and what the formal written estimate/contract states -that they use fipronil [and not Orange Oil]. We also noted discrepancies in what were told by the inspectors versus the terms of the written estimate/contract with other companies so this is not unique to this company. We would recommend reviewing the formal estimate/contract with any company before committing to any work.
