"It was a preemptive treatment because one of the owners came down and did like a little inspection of my whole place. So he recommended a simple preemptive treatment because there were issues of termites; subterranean termites and boring beetles. The termite problem had actually come up to my fire access door so they applied the treatment downstairs and he had to remove mt fire access door and frame. While they were doing that, they discovered that the problem had actually spread to some parts of the exterior wall so they also helped me with that. They replaced some of the wooden beams in my wall and the flooring also. I'm glad that they found the problem and we fixed it. I liked what he did for me and he did a great job. Based on what I heard from neighbors and friends, their quote was very reasonable. They are not cheap but they are not expensive."

"Highly recommend this company, EXO Pest Soulutions! Great service, easy to connect with, responsive, reasonably priced, and effective. I was surprised to see him at my door again. He used to be a great technician and manager with Orkin Pest Control. Always very thorough and very responsive. He's also great with our dog and makes sure that any services done is pet friendly. Making sure our safety is the number one priority. Glad to see him, go out on his own and start his own legacy. Switched from Orkin because I trust our technician and his knowledge in the pest control field. Priced similarly, but the level of service is measurably higher with EXO Pest Soulutions. This company has integrity!"

"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.

FAQs for bug and insect pest control service projects in Half Moon Bay, CA

The timeframe it takes to eliminate gnats varies considerably depending on the infestation's severity and the treatment approach. According to pest control professionals, completely eliminating gnats from your home can take several days to a few weeks. Success depends mainly on identifying and addressing the source of the infestation, such as overwatered plants, decaying organic matter, or moisture problems. Following treatment, continued prevention measures significantly improve long-term results.

When applied correctly, professional exterminators use treatments that present minimal risk to household members. Many companies now offer family-friendly options specifically formulated to be less toxic while remaining effective against gnats. If necessary, your pest control professional should provide clear instructions regarding temporary evacuation during application and advise on appropriate waiting periods before resuming regular activity in treated areas.

Though often grouped together, these small flying insects have distinct characteristics and habits. True gnats commonly gather around houseplants and moist soil. Fruit flies, which are lighter colored, primarily target overripe produce and fermented items. Drain flies, recognizable by their moth-like appearance, breed in the organic matter in drains and plumbing. Identifying which type you're dealing with helps determine the most effective elimination strategy.
