Get matched with top bird and bat pest control pros in Orinda, CA

"They were very professional and knowledgeable about the subject matter, even giving me info that will help me aid in keeping my home safe from pests."

"The two young men arrived on time, were friendly, polite, and obviously knew what to do and how to do it. And they explained all the steps they took and why. They also sealed up any cracks and all the vents on my house so no bat or bird can make a home here again, all in one visit. I would not hesitate to hire this company again!"

"They were excellent and got rid of them completely. They are very reasonable as well I would highly recommend them and I would hire them again."

"Well. They inject affected areas with orange oil. Does the trick."

"Golden State Critter Control provided me outstanding service! This is, by far, the best pest control service I have ever dealt with!! Greg, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He definitely goes the extra mile for his customers! I intend to call on them for all my pest control needs and highly recommend this Company!"

"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.

"Our crawl spaces are very expansive. It took a day for the workmen to clean the areas, remove the insulation, pour the concrete, and set-out traps to make sure that there wasn't any new animal activity in our crawl space. A week later, the workmen came to check the traps and then install new wall and ceiling insulation. The workmen were punctual, diligent, courteous, and tidy. It's great to finally have the area cleaned-up and knowing that we'll have minimal, if any, future animal and rodent activity. We also signed-up for RRS's annual maintenance program at a very reasonable cost. Our biggest shout out is for owner James. He was outstanding to work with - honest, responsive, professional, and very considerate in working with us on the payment arrangements. I highly recommend Reliable Rodent Solutions!"

"Kyle is an awesome guy with an awesome beard and he will handle any rodent related issues you might be having. Kyle came to my house in Brentwood and located a nasty rat that had found it’s way under my house and died. That right there ladies and gentlemen is a service that I found to be extremely valuable. Your local pest control service won’t find that dead animal and remove it for you. They just set and check traps and bounce. So….After removing the dead stinky rat, Kyle examined the crawl space and attic for any areas pests may gaining access….sealed em up. No more rat problems! Kyle knows his stuff, he’s not creepy and he’s an overall nice guy. You have an animal pest problem?! Call this dude!!"

"Attic Crew did for us an air duct cleaning job last month, while they ware up in the attic they had found a lot of rat droppings and urine stains on our old insulation. We had them do for us a complete attic cleaning sanitation and install new insulation. They did a great job and finished everything in one day. Will definitely recommend them!"

"As thermostats hit 90 degrees, I wanted to get my HVAC system inspected plus routine maintenance. Apparently I wasn't the only one, as most services turned down my request for an estimate. Attic Bright was super fast to respond and scheduling time to come out. Jonathon came out to perform my service/inspection and did a great job replacing our whole HVAC unit. He was very courteous and professional and fixed the problem with no hassle at all. I'm amazed by how quickly it can get my house to temperature within minutes with very little noise- thanks Attic Bright!"
