"Pacific Coast did this most thorough inspection of the three companies I dealt with. All three companies had a different approach to termite control. One was to do a cursory inspection and offer what is essentially an insurance policy. Another did a better inspection and offered spot treatment and a 3 year warranty. Pacific Coast did a thorough inspection and offered either spot treatments to the obviously infested areas or comprehensive preventative maintenance treatment in addition to the spot treatments. The cost is more expensive than the other companies but the employees inspire confidence in their work."

Customers say: Quick response

"I reached out to Monterey Vista Termite Control to get an estimate on fumigation, and though I reached out on a Saturday over a holiday weekend, Andy got back to me immediately on that same day, answered all our questions, and immediately provided us with an estimate that was lower than the other estimate we had received. Andy was professional, quick to respond, and clearly knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Andy and this company, and we will definitely reach out again the next time we need any pest related services!"

We have been lucky to have Raul Gonzalez as our exterminator over the years and would highly recommend his work. Not only are all issues handled quickly and well, but Raul also is full of information and insight on how to best keep our establishment free from pests."

"We're in the middle of closing on a condo, and we know there is some termite damage from a prior infestation-- we heard the condo association tented the complex 2 years ago. A prior potential buyer had another company do a termite report on the house--- that report indicated termites. But we were unsure of how much of the termite damage is new vs. old, so I called to schedule a free termite inspection. Their receptionist, Mary, asked me to describe what evidence of termites we've seen and after some discussion advised me to hold off on the inspection for now. She explained that tenting is usually pretty effective. She said to call back as soon as we see any signs of new damage (droppings/etc). She seemed trustworthy and very willing to help. Money being tight, I think Mary's advice has helped me reformulate my approach. We were going to repair the deck anyways (this is where most of the damage is visible) so when we do that we'll look for new termite damage. If we see anything suspicious, then we'll call Mary (and Mark) at Bay Area Termite Co.!"

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Generally, spring is the best time to hire a pest control service, but it also depends on when you notice the infestation. Insect pest numbers are lower in spring before they hatch, making the extermination and prevention process more manageable as nests and eggs of future pests are eliminated. However, don’t hesitate to hire a pest control specialist when you spot signs of a problem.

Skunks spray as a defense mechanism to ward off predators. The active ingredient in their sulfurous, oily musk is n-butyl mercaptan, which evaporates into a powerful and smelly gas. Once the spray hits the skunk’s target, the stench can linger for days, and water and common cleaning kits aren’t enough to wash it away.

If you happen upon a skunk in your yard, try to back away slowly to reduce the chance of them aiming at you. Encouragingly, they don’t use their weapon casually, as it can take up to 10 days for their life-saving weaponry to refill. Paw stamping, hissing, lifting their tail, and arching their back are early signs they feel trapped or under threat and that it’s time to make a careful retreat.

Based on infestation severity, semi-annual or annual checks are recommended.

Many different types of animals like to build nests in attics. The types may vary depending on your home’s condition and location and you can prevent them by sealing off entry points and eliminating food sources. The most common critters that like to build nests in your attic include:

  • Raccoons

  • Bats

  • Squirrels

  • Mice

  • Rats

While water bugs are considered generally harmless to humans, they can bite humans if threatened. Cockroaches are often incorrectly mistaken for water bugs. In this case, cockroaches can bite but are unlikely to bite humans. 

Water bug bites can be very painful and cause symptoms such as redness, swelling, and allergic reaction. Bites will usually heal on their own. However, if you experience severe symptoms or an allergic reaction, seek medical help immediately.
