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."

"We had bats that very rousting in our gas fireplace flue and attic. Western Bat quickly remedied the situation by bat proving our home and removed the bats from our fireplace."

"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."

"An unanticipated extra expense, but they removed all attic insulation and pumped in new insulation with 3X the protection. Closed up all possible entrances into house; made three trips. So far, no signs of these pests, but they say call anytime if I see signs. I'm moving and I can't -- with good conscience -- sell this house to others knowing it had rodents, although it didn't seem to bother the people I bought the house from."

"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!!"

"Absolutely The Best!! We started hearing noise from the crawl space under our floors that escalated in frequency and loudness into scratching and gnawing sounds. We called Golden State Critter Control and the owner was here within a few hours. He inspected from top to bottom, and found numerous breaches and holes in venting access to our house from the outside. We are on a zero-lot line where we can't see one exterior wall of the house (it faces along the neighbor's fenced-in yard), and after he contacted the owner to get permission to inspect, showed us that literally all of the crawl-space vent guards were broken through on that side. He offered us a variety of options based on what we wanted done, and for a very, very affordable price we opted for reinforcing attic vents on the roof, replacing all exterior ground-level vent grids, repairing a breach where an A/C hose's insulation had been gnawed through to gain entry, and also set traps in the crawl space (with weekly checks for a month) in case any critters were still around that might try to scratch their way around, in or out. He was able to do the work right then if we wanted, and we jumped at the chance! He was careful, thorough, and expert (the new mesh vent grates look very strong & were custom fit). He's very friendly and a great listener; quickly finding and showing us all the problem areas. And, he wore a protective mask all the way through to keep us safe. We'll be listening for any remaining activity or noise for the next few days and were encouraged to call him to come right back if needed to check it out prior to the weekly visits to follow-up and monitor the traps. Another great bonus: they return annually to give a free check-up/inspection. You can't go wrong with this great service: above and beyond expectations. We are very gratefully relieved with the responsiveness, thoroughness, pricing, and so amazed at what was discovered and remedied in such quick order. Thanks so much!"

"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!"

"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!"

"They were so helpful and it was on a weekend! We need someone to come out ASAP and removing a dead animal in a horribly difficult place under the house. They were great and gotthe job done right away. Will likely be calling them back to rodent proof that area of the house."
