"The inspection person was professional and thorough. He was helpful in recommending the level of service we needed, suggesting that spot treatment of affected areas would be sufficient to control termites for the next several years. The treatment itself was done promptly and without inconvenience to us."
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!!

"We had called on several other vendors prior to calling Pest Pros and none of them resolved the problem. Pest Pros found entry points the other vendors all missed. We would highly recommend this company."
"It was quick, and the technician they sent (Seff) was extremely friendly and knowledgable about a variety of pests, and eager to share with us what was going on with our ant and spider situation. Helen, who I chatted with online and spoke with on he phone, made everything easy to schedule and answered all my questions about pricing, timing and materials promptly and to my satisfaction."
If your stump has a pest problem, don’t worry; it won’t slow down the stump grinding process. It might even speed it up. But you may want to contact pest control afterward if it looks like a spreading infestation.
The right snake trap depends on your needs and the species of snake. Glue traps are the easiest to handle but are inhumane and may catch and kill other animals, like squirrels, birds, and mice. Cage traps catch snakes alive so they can be released elsewhere. Minnow traps are the best choice for water snakes.
In addition to a dislike of strong smells, such as peppermint, citrus, cinnamon, lavender, and eucalyptus, there are some who believe spiders dislike music or other loud sounds. You can try cranking up your music, and the spiders supposedly don’t care for the vibration, which can help keep them out of your home. Continuous vibrations can throw off their senses and make them look for a food source elsewhere.
Mice are very unlikely to go away on their own. As long as there is food and shelter available in your home, they’ll call it their home, too. If your DIY efforts aren’t working, you need to hire a local pest control service to remove the mice infestation. Aside from carrying diseases, mice can chew through wires, insulation, drywall, and more.
The time and number of treatments required for an exterminator to get rid of roaches depend on factors like the roach type, infestation severity, and extermination method. For small infestations, a single treatment may be sufficient, showing results within 1 to 3 days. However, most cases require several treatments and take about 2 to 8 weeks to resolve completely. Severe infestations can take up to 6 months to fully eliminate.
