Jose spent time talking with us about the issues we were having and was very knowledgeable. He was very thorough in treating our yard. I’ve had techs from other services who seemed disinterested or distracted. Jose was kind and very professional.

Thank you to Brett for his expertise! He was on time, incredibly polite and reassuring. He took his time, was very thorough and spent loads of time going over every inch of the house inside and out. We are enormously grateful and look forward to his return visit!

Just signed up for their services. I saw them in the neighborhood doing other homes. All my neighbors were happy with their services. I met with Chris who does the service and he was very informative as to what I can expect from their services. I had my first spray application today and everything went great.

I called and scheduled an estimate for service at our home. It was scheduled for Friday May 9 between 3 and 5 PM. Nobody showed or called to reschedule or tell they would be late. So I called and set another date and time for the estimate, and again the technician did not showed or call me. They had my phone number, I would have worked with them if they called. I’m retired but my time is still valuable. If they treat all potential customer this way, this company shouldn’t be in this service industry. Updates Received a call from the technician he apologized for being late. He coming to the house for the estimate. I’m a US Navy veteran and retired from the VA Hospital, so if I say I will be somewhere at a certain time, I will be there. In my old age I expected people who work in a service field to be on time. Plus I’m old fashioned and I can be grumpy. If I was that way to the dispatcher, I apologize

Unbelievable customer service and support! They responded promptly to my request and quickly arrived at my home to address the ant issue. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine care made the entire experience outstanding. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need

The experience could have been better if staff was more responsive. We were long time users of thier services but they had a new contract this year and I had questions as it was not well written and language definitely not consistent between some clauses. It took an extended amount of time to get those concerns addressed. This years service was not completed by the end of the day and it also took awhile to be rescheduled and took several days to get responses. The service itself was fine and I really liked the person managing the job but she just was not very quick to update us. I am getting the impression that they are short on staff. I also really really don't like the fact that there is not a number for the local office like there used to be. Instead, the number you have to call (like if the person managing the job isn't being responsive), is a general 800 number for setting appointments. You have to have them send a message to the local office for the local office to call you back. They won't give you a direct #. Next time the service is up for renewal, I am going to be looking into other options because I hate that so much.

Jose has always been an extremely efficient technician. He makes sure to ask if there are any concern before he starts our treatment. We appreciate his hard work keeping the bugs out of our house!

Andrea E. via google

I can’t say enough good things about this pest control company! From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, and effective. A special shoutout to our technician, Jose, who went above and beyond. He was punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything he was doing, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. We noticed a huge improvement almost immediately after his visit. If you’re looking for top-tier service and a technician who truly cares, ask for Jose—you won’t be disappointed!

Jordan has provided the most complete service since I’ve been a client. He even sprayed on my deck, which no one else has done. If these are new directions to the techs, hooray. If not, he did the best service. Thanks for putting him on my route.

Sue B.via Google

I would like to thank Jeff for doing a great job today. In fact, I would like to request him in the future. Y’all were supposed to provide service a couple of weeks ago, and your guy showed up without the equipment to service the inside of my house. To be honest, I almost called you to cancel my service then. Instead I rescheduled. Today Jeff did exactly what I signed up for, but too often you don’t provide. He sprayed indoors and out, swept my eaves for spider webs and took care of a couple of wasp nests. He did a great job. Thank you very much.

Rick T.via Google

Very polite and wearing a mask (I appreciate that). Introduced himself and asked if any particular place was heavy with mosquitoes, I told him I work in my garage with the door open and he made sure to get that side of the house thoroughly.

This is my second home using Western Exterminator. I've been a customer for over 20 years. My service is every other month on the exterior - front and back yard. I have had the interior done maybe 3 times! Occasionally I've had a little ant problem in the backyard but it's always due to the weather. They have always taken care of any issues, even if it's between my normal service! They've come out at no extra charge. Very reliable company, very good employees!

Travis always provides excellent customer service. He listens to my concerns and answers my questions. He’s always on time. I appreciate and trust Travis

The same exterminator came by that I have worked with in the past. He was very nice. He checked an additional area in the house to make sore out wasn't new damage, it wasn't. He was very professional and pleasant.

Greta L.via Google

We had a personable efficient tech today. But the previous 3 appts were cancelled causing us to question continuing with this company. We’ll see what happens with the next appt.

Common Pest Problems

Pests are an inevitable nuisance for many residents in California. From the coastal regions to the inland valleys, the state's diverse ecosystem harbors a wide range of pests that can invade homes and disrupt daily life. One common issue faced by residents is the presence of ants, specifically Argentine ants, which can quickly overrun a property and become a persistent problem. These tiny invaders are attracted to food sources and can infiltrate kitchens, pantries, and even electrical systems.

Another pest that Californians frequently encounter is the notorious bed bug. These nocturnal parasites can be found in homes, hotels, and even public transportation. Their bites can result in itchy, red welts, and their ability to hide in crevices makes them difficult to eradicate without professional assistance. Additionally, rodents such as rats and mice are prevalent in both urban and rural areas, causing damage to property and posing health risks through the spread of diseases.

To combat these pests and ensure a pest-free environment, residents of California can rely on professional pest control services. These experts have a deep understanding of the local pest population and utilize effective and environmentally friendly methods to eliminate infestations. By employing preventive measures, such as sealing entry points, removing food sources, and implementing targeted treatments, pest control services can help residents reclaim their homes from these unwanted invaders. With their expertise, residents can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that their property is protected from the pests that plague the Golden State.

Year Round Pest Control in California

California Pest Control Experts is a local company with extensive knowledge and experience in pest control services throughout the state of California. With their team of skilled technicians, they offer professional solutions to ensure a pest-free environment for residential and commercial properties. It is crucial to prioritize pest control service throughout the year to prevent infestations and maintain the well-being of your property. Here's a breakdown of the importance of pest control service in California:

  • January-March: During the colder months, pests seek shelter indoors, making it essential to address potential entry points and take preventive measures against rodents, spiders, and ants.
  • April-June: As temperatures rise, termites become a significant concern. Regular inspections and treatments can help detect and eliminate these destructive pests before they cause extensive damage.
  • July-September: Summertime brings an increase in mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Pest control services can effectively manage these pests, protecting you and your family from irritating bites and potential diseases.
  • October-December: With the arrival of autumn, rodents and wildlife may seek refuge in homes to escape the cooler weather. Sealing potential entry points and implementing pest control measures will help keep them at bay.
  • Maintaining a year-round pest control service in California is paramount to safeguarding your property and ensuring a healthy living environment for you and your loved ones. Don't let pests take over; rely on the expertise of California Pest Control Experts to keep your home pest-free.
