Pest Control near Saratoga

“We were having a problem with two Sycamore trees in our front yard. After receiving a strong recommendation from the manager of a local turf supply store, I called Mike Evans, owner of West Valley Spray. Mike responded immediately, and after having me describe the problem we were experiencing with our Sycamore trees, Mike explained that the problem was not likely to be what I had thought it might be, and went on to tell me why he came to this conclusion. Mike then made a couple of recommendations on what I could do on my own to determine the real cause of the problem, and how best to resolve it, and that was that.
In short, my conversation with Mike was both educational and very heart-warming. That Mike would take the time to speak with me for several minutes, diagnose the problem, and then send me on my way to resolve the issue on my own, and at no charge for his time, has caused me to write this review. Based upon the questions that Mike asked me, along with his recommendations, I am extremely confident that Mike's advice is right on the money, and I'm looking forward to having him help us to care for the many other trees on our property.
If you're looking for an expert on how best to care for your own trees, I highly recommend Mike Evans of Evans West Valley Spray.
Thanks Mike, for the outstanding Customer Service!
Sincerely,
Bruce McCombs“

“J&M termite are amazing. I wanted a second opinion on a termite inspection for a house I was buying. The inspector, Louis, did a very thorough job. When J&M's report turned up a lot of work the first report hadn't, Louis talked me through the report and the findings on the phone, answering all my questions. Because of the second report, I was able to negotiate and make sure the sellers covered the cost of the required Section 1 work. I also had J&M do most of the work -- the house was tented for termites and beetles, and then a substantial amount of framing was replaced (the total pest report was around $14k). The work was performed by Robert and his colleague. Robert was also excellent: a few places the work was less than expected so he updated the quote, and finished half a day earlier. Robert also talked me through when most of the underlying issues are coming from, which is really helpful as I get quotes to fix the roof for the underlying source of leaks. Robert also signed off on some of the work that another contractor (that the seller had organized) was doing that J&M couldn't do themselves, and again was extremely thorough, catching work that would have been subpar and working with the contractor to make sure their work was up to standard. Having a termite infestation in a new house is scary and unpleasant, but J&M resolved it painlessly. I highly recommend this firm, and while I hope I won't need their services again, I would not hesitate to use them if I do.Services: Termite extermination“

“NorCal was the subcontractor for Banner, the pest service company that recently completed a full fumigation in our community. The work was done just last week, and I wanted to take a moment to share our experience.

Francisco was our main point of contact from NorCal, along with a many others on-site, and Lori handled the documentation. We felt really comfortable working with all of them. As board members, we had a lot of coordination to manage—across 60+ units, the fumigation company, security, and residents. It could’ve been overwhelming, but everything went smoothly thanks to how organized and responsive the NorCal team was.

Both Banner and NorCal were great to work with—professional, communicative, and truly accommodating throughout the process. I genuinely want to thank them for making this whole experience much easier for us. It made a big difference.“

“Clark Pest Control has been treated our house over the past 10 years, helping to keep aggressive ants and pest away from our yard and home. David Sims has been excellent, always courteous, professional and effective at listening and helping to solve any issues that pop up.“

“We had an ant infestation, and Pacific Pest Management came to the rescue. It was easy to make an appointment. Alan took great care of us spraying the inside that would quickly dry before our pets had to be back home and he sprayed all the outside. Was impressed too that he offered to fill some of the areas with a sealant too. He followed up the next day to see if we saw any more ants, which we didn't. Strongly recommend them for their service.“

“I contacted a few fumigation companies. Many owners are like salesmen - sounded good but not sincere. I find Justin, the owner of Costless, down-to-earth and straight forward. The office is also very communicative. Both put into extra effort and material to accommodate my special concerns.

One foreman was respectful and cooperative. The other foreman needed a better attitude. The crew also needed to be more careful with my plants.

If you are new to fumigation, bear in mind these companies have multiple jobs per day, which means they have limited amount of time for your job. So prepare your property accordingly.

My utility closet door was damaged after fumigation, and Justin came right away to fix it. All in all, I like the management of Costless, because of their willingness to go extra miles to do a good job.“

“We have been working with D&J Pest for over 12 years (for monthly maintenance), and my parents have been doing so for over 50 years! We are truly grateful for this family owned gem of a company. They are always curteous, professional and responsive. Every time, our technicians exceed our expectations and they are trustworthy individuals. They have saved us in a pinch so many times (termites, rodents, inspections when we noticed signes of activity). They are experts with pest-control maintenance and critter control. They have specialists if you do encounter the dreaded rat appearances. A massive thanks to Ben for saving the day for us and a shout from this rooftop to all of my neighbors to call them when in need of pest control! I'd also like to add that I am a tried and true customer for over a decade (vs. a a whiner on Yelp, which by the way means "a short, sharp cry, especially of pain or alarm"). D & J are well established so have a good, long-term client base and word of mouth, especially in Willow Glen.“

“Jake and Dave are the best of the best. They're straightforward, no-nonsense problem solvers. Home visit consultation was thorough and free. Dave never pushed to make a sale. He diagnosed the problem explaining his thinking clearly and laid out solution plans. Jake was very responsive making sure my questions were answered.

Jake and Dave are people you can count out to have your best interests in mind. I'd recommend them in a heartbeat.“

“Great service from Father son team. Showed up right on time and completed the work quickly. Took the time to explain everything afterwards too. Very friendly, would recommend“

“This company was outstanding. From my first call to the office to the work they did everyone was helpful and friendly. We had a small office building complex which was a lot of work, The inspection was thorough, the price was completely reasonable, and the work was done quickly and well. Highly recommend“

“Jordan came to provide a very detailed quote and explanations for the job at no charge. After we signed up for the job, Jesus and the crew came with a truck that had a long tube to suck out the old insulation, installed new insulation, blocked openings that the rodents could enter the attic through, and set mouse traps. They put coverings on the floor, stairways, and walls to protect the house interior. Ricardo came for the follow up visit and removed a mouse that was caught by one of the traps.“

“I just had an inspection for termites and I'm very pleased. Rob was very thorough and explained everything in detail. Also, pointed out a few things I should do around my house. Highly recommend this company“

“We had a gentleman come out to look at an issue with some sort of animal in our front yard that we thought was a gopher. Turns out it was just a mole. He offered to trap him for us and also let us know additional options. Really appreciate them coming out so quickly and being so knowledgeable! My mom has used Got Gophers at her house and has had a great experience with them as well! Will only use this company moving forward!“

“Adrian the service guy was very personable and informative with some questions I had. He was very knowledgeable and helpful.“

“I've been using Kilroy for over 20 years. They always show up on time, the results are very good, and the prices are competitive. Great and consistent customer service with the front office too, a person, not voicemail or a chat box answers phone calls.“

“As others have said, there are many options for termite control, and im very happy we went with Great Wall. Chester and Fili were very communicative and helpful in organizing and conducting the termite inspection. They also service all over the Bay Area! Would highly recommend for any inspection“

“Smith's has always done an excellent job finding and eliminating my gopher problem. Joe is new at the company and did an excellent job locating gopher issues and setting traps. He also helped tailor my contract to meet my needs. I was very impressed and appreciated the help.“

“Terry, my home inspector, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and helpful, answered all my questions, and took the time to address my concerns. The inspection report was detailed and delivered quickly. I would highly recommend Terry to anyone in need of a home inspection!“

“Corey has been servicing our property for about a year and we couldn't be more happy with his professionalism and friendly personality. He is knowledgeable about trapping and poisoning rodents, both in our yard, garage, and under the house. He is also available to make house calls in between visits if we have a problem or concern. I highly recommend Corey!“

“Ori was really helpful, informative, and discussed in detail all aspects of our attic: insulation, droppings, moisture, openings, ventilation, etc. We are entirely grateful to have a much better understanding of our house, our options and the costs. He showed us photos and patiently explained how attics work, how they can degrade over time, and how they can be fixed. We very highly recommend Attic Bros!!!“

“I am requesting Roger for the next 2 treatments. I especially appreciated his describing and showing me what he was doing as well as explaining how I can prevent future cockroach visits. :)“

“Very professional, the truth is they surprised me with their tremendous work, they did it incredibly, I recommend them“

“Inspection/treatment by David, Jonathan, Chris, and Brandon were fantastic! The crew explained everything and worked efficiently and carefully.“

“Elmer and his team did a great job. They arrived on time and cleaned up at the end of the job. Very happy with their work.“

“These guys came to our house and did such a great job on patching all the holes at our house and attic for rodents. Our community has been plagued by rodent for a long time and I often heard rodents running inside my attic. After they patched the holes and laid the traps and the noises are gone. There is no more rodents in the house! They are also very responsive and responsible for our call. We used to call terminix but they ended up sending signature home here anyway. Why need the middleman when you can call these guys directly instead?“
