Get matched with top mosquito control pros in Montara, CA

"I was moving from Texas and it took quite a while to getting used to idea that I would be living in a house that may be older than my age - and I have fewer years to live than the years that I have lived!
We found this house in El Cerrito, except that the inspections revealed a long list of improvements that I must make.  One of them was that the house had sub-terranian  termites.  The estimate from the pest inspector was running into thousands of dollars.  It was quite depressing.  I browsed through Angies List every other day and one fine day I found this Deal.  I quickly signed up for it.  
When I called Sea, he was very courteous.  He requested two visits - an "inspection visit", and "treatment visit".  I asked for a specific date for the inspection when I was flying from Texas, and he gave me the exact date.  During the visit, he consoled me that the situation was really under control and that there would not be any additional charge.  The coverage area was well within what the coupon was good for.
Right after closing, I wanted to have the wooden floor re-finished.  This contractor had asked for the entire week.  I wanted to get the termite treatment done during the same week so that we can move that week-end.  Sean gave me a day during that week.  I was not at the house when he came to the house and did the treatment.  
He sent me the report the very next week.  It pointed out the areas were termites were found.  I was slightly confused by the report because he had used the same report template that they must be using for "Inspection Reports".  So I had to call him to confirm if he did just inspection or actual treatment.  He confirmed that he had actually done the treatment and pointed out in the report.

Overall, this was an excellent experience for me - both as an Angie's List member as well as for using "We care Pest Control".

"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.

"Sophanna did a treatment at our place for pest control, and he was very prompt, helpful, and gave us right instructions to prep before and after the treatment. We have not seen a single roach after the 3-round treatment was completed. Extremely satisfied with the service!"

"Very well. The agent explained why termite spot treatment is better than fumigation and the specific steps and chemicals they would use and the warranty behind it and proceeded to do the work precisely as explained."

"This service is worth every penny even though pricey.  They did everything they said they would do and accommodated all my little requests.  They were professional, thorough and cleaned up after they were done.  The warranty is great too.  My attic smells great (for an attic yeah hard to believe) and I feel better knowing nothing will be getting in this winter since we heard scratching going on last winter.  They set traps as a precaution even though there is nothing active going on, so yes very thorough.  I would definitely recommend them for this service, as I could not believe this type of service was even out there.

"Super thankful they were able to come out to my house to help with a flea issue right away, I’ll be using their service again when needed!"

"I had a rodent problem in my attic. After calling to few companies, I found Rodent Control Inc to be the most reliable and effective company. Thanks to them, my rodent problem got solved quickly"
