Get matched with top raccoon control pros in Del Mar, CA

"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."

"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."

"Jay R was the inspector that came to our house he was super friendly and fast. We had a lot of spiders and with their support now everything is under control."

"Will is a very knowledgeable Pest Control person. He's professional, courteous and very punctual. I hired Will to do the termite remediation at my house and I also hired Will to do the bi-monthly pest control. Malvin P. in Carlsbad, CA"

"Bull's Eye Pest Control is an excellent company. They do an extremely thorough job and will follow up if there are any problems. I would highly recommend them as I've used them for a couple of years now. Customer service is also excellent."

"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.

"I called D&S Termite and Pest Control two times to rid my house of rats, once in Sept, 2011 and and once in  Nov, 2013.  The first service in Sept, 2011 went went well.  The Field Representative searched the house and yard for evidence of rats, found evidence in the attic, and placed traps there.  He came back in a week or so, removed a dead rat, and checked back each week for a month.  I paid $200 for this service.  The second time, the Field Representative did not do an extensive search (perhaps because he had done one two years before).  He did not check the attic because I had found evidence of the rats on the first floor--in retrospect, I think a search of the attic was warranted.  He placed four traps in the house.  I found a dead rat in the kitchen and disposed of it myself.  This time (Nov. 2013) I signed a contract: D&S placed three rat traps on my property outside and I have been paying $35 to have them checked once each month for a year.  Apparently, D&S will also check the house if there was evidence of rats within.   This has ended up costing $420 and I have received very little in return.  I do not feel that the house was searched well enough initially for evidence of rats.  I could have set the traps myself, and, indeed, I, not D&S, ended up removing the dead rat.  I would probably not hire D&S again.

Chad Dresser, Licensed Inspector Fr42111:

On July 12, 2014, Mr. Chad Dresser arrived at our home at the appointed time.  He was well-dressed, well-spoken, very knowledgeable, and professional.  We were renewing our contract with Pacific Coast Termites, and Chad spent a couple of hours inspecting the whole house, the outlying areas, 3 attics, and under the house.  He did find an infestation of termites in our “tower attic” in several places. He was up in the attic about 30 minutes, drilling, filling, and killing!  There is no odor and no harm to pets and people from their “Orange Oil” treatment.  Chad then spent considerable time with his shop vacuum up in the attic –and it’s never been so clean.  He carefully inspected our entire property – no rushing at all.  He found no other areas of termite activity. Before he left for other calls, he suggested that we contact him again in about 4 months for a follow-up check of our tower attic.  He wants to be sure the infestation is controlled.

We’ve had Pacific Coast Termites as our home protectors for a number of years. All of the inspectors have been outstanding. When they return due to an episode of “swarming”, usually in the fall, but at other times as well, they’ve sent out someone in good time to deal with the problem and at no further expense to us due to our contract.  They are very responsive to our needs, and we will continue to renew with Pacific Coast Termites.  We highly recommend them to all homeowners who reside in “termite country”.  You can always move to Alaska to escape termites, but we love Southern California!!

"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."
