We are in Joshua's regular coverage plan which costs something like $99/quarter and are consistently satisfied with their services. We hired them originally to take care of an ant infestation, and they did it well. They are always responsive to our concerns to minimize the impact of pest treatments on the harmless insects and creatures in our yard. Recently, we heard rodents in the house, so we gave them a call. Although our plan did not cover treatment for rodents, they took care of this problem without added charge, on the grounds that we have been good customers for a few years. They maintain information about our house -- such as that we have a pet frog in the house -- and print it right onto the work orders provided to their technicians, so that their technicians can choose the right treatments and so they don't have to keep asking us the same questions over and over. The people who answer the phone and the technicians who come to our house are always pleasant and helpful.

We had gophers terrorizing our lawn and hill for over a year. I tried as many DIY methods as I could find but none were very effective. After calling several gopher companies, Joshua's came in with the lowest price. Since EPA regulations require them to all use the same basic method, I figured there wouldn't be much difference. The tech was able to get started right away (some other companies sent out estimators only and we would have had to schedule the first appointment), and allowed me to follow him around asking as many questions as I had. The follow-up visits were scheduled the next day when a customer service rep called me - it was a breeze. I wasn't around for either of the follow-up visits, so they left a visit receipt on the front door. I was fully expecting to have to call them back after the third visit to treat some new mounds, but we're now three weeks past the final visit and I haven't seen a new mound since! The only reason I rated quality a 'B' is that after the first visit, I discovered the product they use is readily available over the internet. I'm glad I had them out, and they did a great job, but I guess I expected them to have some sort of proprietary gopher killer formula.
Description of Work: They exterminated the gophers on our property with their 3-visit program over the course of 6 weeks.

It went great. The technician, Mark V., arrived punctually and discussed the problems I saw with the insects. He professionally and thoroughly explained the process and the cost after a walk-around my property. Before he started his work, he had the office call me to explain the process again, and I agreed to have the services of Joshua's Pest Control for the next year.
Description of Work: I selected Joshua's Pest Control due to the Angie's List recommendations. I am moving back into my home after having rented it for the past 4 years, and I noticed there were ants, wasps, and spiders around the house. I wanted the problems removed. After several calls to various exterminator services, I selected Joshua's due to their pricing for the annual service ($99 a quarter) with the initial service at $94 with the Angie's List discount. They performed the service within 24 hours of my initial call. The technician, Mark V., sprayed the inside and outside of the house, removed the wasps nests from the house overhangs, explained the problems of my palm tree leaves touching my roof (could allow rodents and ants into the house), and, then power sprayed the entire lawn and planting areas. It took about an hour for the entire process.

I called Joshua's Pest Control after consulting Angie's List, and noted that they listed GOPHERS under pests! Yes, I have a problen with those very cute,very pesky, extremely destructive little critters. The person who initially returned my phone call was delightful. I made an appointment for a consultation and she actually arranged a phone call to let me know an hour before the technician was going to be at the house so that I could leave work and get home in time to meet with him. Within ten minutes of my arrival home, the technician, Joshua, arrived, and proceeded to examine the damage with me. He explained why he thought we had such a problem (new lawn, nice soft dirt--AH HA), and what could be done to eliminate the problem. He carefullly went over all the details of the process, including the follow up visits and 60 day guarantee, and the cost. He then said, he could do the first treatment "right now'----WOW !!! It took him about 15 minutes. Unbelievable! This guy was so nice, polite, on time and then to have the process completed on the same day! What a time saver for me--I went right back to work!I was also told by Joshua that if I saw more activity after a 7-10 day period to call right away, otherwise the technicians would return for two scheduled two week follow-up visits. The next day I received a phone call from a lovely woman from Joshua's Pest Control, to set up those two follow up appointments. Now for the true test of "do they do what they said they would do?" OH YES THEY DO!!!I found new gigantic mounds in the backyard 11 days after the first treatment. These gophers are brilliant! I called Joshua's and reported my findings. I received a phone call back the same day, and had a visit within a few days from another outstanding technician (Bill), who treated the spots again.THIS IS THE BEST COMPANY EVER!!!!! I told all my friends and family!!
Description of Work: Joshuas Pest Control performed an initial consult, extermination, and follow-up maintenence for gophers.

This was a new place for us. Joshua's knocked on the door a week before we moved in and explained their service. They offered a special rate, but we had to sign up for a year in order to qualify for the special rate. Thus, we signed the contract, and Joshua's began its treatments. After the first visit, however, we had a major ant problem. The company responded by placing glue along the bottoms of the kitchen cabinets, but it didn't help at all. Ultimately, we decided not to renew our contract, and we had no further ant problems within a couple of weeks of doing so. Now we are left with ruined walls and cabinets from the glue that Joshua's used during its visits.
Description of Work: We signed an annual pest control contract with them.

Our technician, Tony, was cheerful, professional, and knowledgeable. He was also efficient. We don't always have the same technician every time (we have an annual contract), but generally all the technicians have been good. Tony went a step further in talking to us and explaining his work.
Description of Work: The price is usually $93/quarter for pest control, although we got a discount this time for a referral. The technician, Tony, did a professional job and even warned us of possible rat problem in our large bougainvillea. He sprayed the yard for ants and upstairs for spiders.

They have been coming for quite a few years. I was upset at my husband when he hired them as they came door to door, but I have never regretted it.
Description of Work: They come regularly to spray for ants and fill rat bait stations. The spray is organic and they are very conscientious. I get a call when they are coming and am always reassured that if pests show up between visits, they will come back at no charge. These folks are infinitely better than the folks who used to come with the evil pesticides. I do not remember the date of their last visit so the date i am giving is a guess, but they are coming next Tuesday for their regular appointment and they called me ahead to see if I had any special requests.

They were prompt (early, in fact), and came within 48 hours, I believe, of making the appointment. The service was done quickly and quietly, and the tech (Max) left me with a schedule of which months he'd be returning, along with the fees for each time. He even noted on his service agreement to "Make sure gate is closed securely," as I have two dogs!
