Pest Control in Concord

“"Jerry's got nothing. Newman's got nothing. You're the only one I know who's got the good stuff, and I need it bad, baby, cause I feel like I got bugs crawling up my skin. Now you gotta help me out."-Cosmo Kramer, SeinfeldDa Scene: Like many recent reviewers, we were kinda freaked out by the appearance of some little black bugs (kinda like long ants) in a couple of areas INSIDE the house after the 1st rains of the season. In our case it was compounded by the fact that they appeared to be coming in through the ATTIC and dropping down; not coming up through the crawl space under the house. I found maybe a total of 20 of the little guys in 3 spots (kitchen counter under the range vent, guest bathroom under the skylight, and disturbingly; master bedroom under some recessed lighting, right on my pillow - Aaaaaaah!??!).After 20+ years in our home, it's the 1st occurrence so we were pretty concerned. After internet searches, image comparisons we determined subterranean termites and wanted them "taken care of".Da Work: Opened a YELP! Project and jobbed a quote out to several outfits with descriptions and images, wasn't happy with the 1st round of responses, did some more searching and added a few more manually. Contra Costa Termite Control's initial response stood out from the crowd. 1. Jen 1st took the time to explain the background of why this was happening (detailed in many other reviews, so I'll leave that out here) and to reassure us that we in the highest probability did NOT have an infestation; we would likely not see any more activity. She went on to suggest a wait and see approach before scheduling an unnecessary inspection.2. For piece of mind, I insisted that I'd like them to come out anyway to confirm her suspicions, it had been since we bought the house when we had the last inspection, so I thought why not?3. Joe came out and checked the crawl space only, explaining the odd source coming from the attic as during the initial "swarm" happening outside, a few of the little guys flew in through the attic vents and "went towards the light". He did find some other non-related/not urgent issues under our bathroom areas which we'll take care of in the spring. Quick & easy... parcheesy.Da Service: Can't sing their praises high enough. From start to finish this outfit is customer-focused, thoughtful and knowledgeable. They shared information freely and never pushed for services or action, only providing options. This can't be said of some of the other contractors who contacted us on the project... MANY were quick to push treatment options right off the bat. Great communications via YELP! then txt/sms, email invoicing and payment options like check, debit/credit card, Zelle or Venmo.Just a CLASS OPERATION all around - thanks for the help and use me as a reference anytime!“

“It was hard to believe a mole had taken up residence in our tiny backyard but this company was the greatest. They set traps and left them for a couple of days then came back and took the mole away in the trap. Their communication is excellent - texts to say when they are coming and follow up emails with detailed service reports.“

“After receiving a quote from a pest inspector for over $1000 to deal with termites in a very small out building, I called Echobots and they quickly came out and did the same exact work for less than half the price. Monica and Josiah were extremely honest and pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!“

“I asked Oakland Hills Brush Clearing to come out to give an estimate on getting rid of a lot of poison oak encroaching near our house, and they recommended we have J Spray come out to spray the poison oak beforehand to reduce the risk for the workers (and reduce the overall cost).Dan came out and was helpful, honest, knowledgeable, realistic, and transparent. He was thorough and thoughtful! We definitely will ask J Spray to come out again in the future and we highly recommend them!!!“

“Moore Home Group was recommended be a neighbor's contractor. We hired them to conduct a structural pest inspection prior to listing our house to sell. Inspector was very attentive and produce a clear report of the findings and condition of the home. We also hired them to replace a girder in the crawl space under the house that was severely damaged due to an unknown leak from the bathtub drain. The carpenter showed up on time, was professional and overall a great guy. The bathroom was original from 1957 and he was very meticulous to assure he did not create any cracks in the tile. In fact, the door to the bathroom, located near the girder, was starting to not close quite correctly as the floor was beginning to sag just a little bit. He did such a great installing the new girder that the door was closing perfectly after he finished. I would highly recommend this company as I feel they really go above and beyond when it comes to their work and understanding of how structural pests and water damage evolves in a wood framed structure.“
