We would never use this company again.

Our technician arrived promptly and dressed in a clean cut logo polo shirt and khaki. I thought he will just take a look but no, he crawled right up to the attic and did a thorough examination. He gave us his recommendations and proceed to do the job and he was done and came back 1 week later to check the progress and all is well. I highly recommend them as they arrive when they say, dress professional, courteous to our many questions, and did the job quickly and efficiently. He was also very honest about the pros and cons and think of alternative solutions to our financial needs. I will use them again if I ever find critters invading my home.

If you live in Burnaby and you have a pest problem look no further than Knockout Pest Control…read more Ryan has helped me for over 10 years with everything from ants to raccoons and he knows his stuff. He is very thorough. At one house I had squirrels in my attic and while the previous owner had another company block most of the entry points they missed some and Ryan solved the problem and installed a one way door so the squirrels could not get back in once they left. The previous owner used poison and that left a few dead carcasses in the attic. As import as being good is, just as import is being honest. Ryan will only recommend and do what is needed. If there is another trade like a roofer that can fix a problem better than him, he will recommend that - this is being honest and recommending to customers what is best for them. I could not recommend Knockout Pest Control more!

We reached out to Humane Solutions after having tried and failed to deal with our mouse problem…read more Our solution of blocking openings under sinks and having bait boxes outside the house worked for about 3 months but as we went from summer to fall and we removed the bait boxes, they found their way in again. We originally didn't find any companies that could offer much more than what we did ourselves, which is why I was discouraged to see the return of the mice. What would they do now that we hadn't done, except reintroduce bait boxes and only guarantee their work for 3 months? At $500/3 months that wasn't much of a solution. I came across HS in a google search. After speaking to them over the phone I was so hopeful. They were very patient explaining what they did, why and how it would work. They don't have a warranty or a guarantee on being pest free persay, but the goal is permanent pest proofing - it's just hard to guarantee under one original quote when these pests are so tricky. I was worried about the lack of written guarantee, but they reassured me that they wouldn't quit until we were mice free. It's hard to take a business on their word, but boy was their word tested to the extreme and they got an A+. November they came and did the original pest proofing. We took a risk going against what Human Solutions said about examining the whole house (everything but the front porch due to repair costs) but felt confident we'd be okay. So we were pest free for about 3 weeks, saw nothing and started to feel better in December. Until we saw a mouse again. They sent another tech (fresh eyes) to examine the house and make sure nothing was missed. They didn't find anything that visit, but we still continued seeing activity. Now the porch was starting to bug all of us and HS suggested that be our next check if we continued to see mice. Fast forward a bit and we decided to pull up a board on our front steps so we could look under and lo and behold, we (the idiots) had drilled a hole to run a wire from our garage out to the other side of the patio. And we did not seal it. Total moron moment. By this time the mice had everything they needed, a mouse highway (along that wire) in a hidden dark alcove, access to bird food and mouse bait in our garage, and free run of the house via that hole in the wall. Mind you this was winter too, so they definitely wanted to be warm. HS came out again and took care of it. We felt better - terrified of what was still trapped inside but feeling like maybe we would be home free soon. Not quite. We still had activity in the house, very minor, but we still had some. Apparently the tech who sealed the big glaring hole missed two very hard to see, very impossible to reach and very tricky holes that were behind tar paper (I don't blame them - the two holes were not typical mouse access points). Their most experienced tech, who is also the owner, came out and found the 2 impossible holes. He also explained that once they have really nice access to your home, they are a lot more persistent to keep looking for a hole to exploit and that's exactly what happened. In the end, we've been pest free for months now, only paid the original quoted fee plus a small service fee that was beyond the free checks they provided and did not pay for the final visit which was technically an "error" missed by the tech. After 18 years of living in this home and never having an issue, this was downright traumatizing. I wish I had known about HS back when we first noticed activity. I also wish we had decided to remove the front decking at the same time we had the whole house inspected. It would have prevented the mice from becoming so familiar with our home and moving in. We will never live in a home that we haven't had HS come and pest proof. Why live with that worry when you have HS willing to tackle such a difficult problem and get permanet results. No need to pay monthly for pest control - please don't until after you speak to HS. Most likely you will get better results that costs you less money in the long run.

I have been having issues with mice for over a year now. I had a Craigslist guy come in and put…read moredown some commercial grade poison in the beginning. I asked him about sealing up any holes in the exterior, and he said "it's impossible to mouse proof a house." The mice died and then came back multiple times over the last year, and we could no longer reach the exterminator who had guaranteed results. Had Protech over for the first time earlier today and I was very impressed. Bo was very kind and knowledgeable, and after he set some bait and traps, he found/covered the hole in the exterior where he figured out the mice were gaining access. It's only been a few hours, so I will have to update with results, but I am very satisfied so far. His price also came in as quoted over the phone which was less than the Craigslist guy from a year ago.

He told me straight off the phone what was going to be sprayed. How long to stay out of the house. That the price will include 2 visits, with the 2nd one 2 weeks later. Everyone else I called gave me no info at all and just a price quote. Once I met the guy at the first visit, he went to the room for a quick check told me what bugs were there. Told me what he was going to do. Also included a preventive treatment spray of the whole house not just the infected area. So I'll update this post on my second visit.

Carlos was super patient, super responsive, empathetic, caring and ridiculously nice while I was so stressed out. He was so quick to find the spots to seal up.

He is such an amazing person and there is no one else I will call for any pest control in the future. He is 150% recommended from me. I hope his business continues to do very well. Thank you Carlos!!!!!

I would recommend this to anyone who needs to get rid of pests efficiently!

He didn't seem to care about my pest problem & was just saying "uh-huh uh-huh" like he wasn't even listening. When I asked how long it would be until I had some relief he said "Well let's just see how it goes". What kind of answer is that? I called him 6 days later because there was no decline in bugs at all. I asked if he could come back out and spray more. He said "I'll have to call you back, I'm in the middle of something". That was a week ago and no call back. This was a horrible experience and a total waste of time and money. Never again!

They never contacted me to come back and do the exterior inspection, and when the landlord finally got a hold of them, they weren't available to come back for another 5 weeks. what started as a few mice became an infestation. By comparison, Orkin came the same day, did a thorough inspection of my home inside and out, and began a comprehensive program to get rid of the mice by coming back to treat every two weeks for three months. A FAR superior service. I can't think of any reason to use an inefficient service like Atlas, except that they must be cheaper. However, I'd rather get rid of the rodents than save a few dollars.

From April until mid-november my apartment has been infested in the kitchen with black-eyed fruit…read moreflies. These are apparently older more mature red-eyed fruit flies. Terminix attitude was throw down some fruit fly traps and throw a little foam into the kitchen Plumbing and we're good. Never happened. They would either not show up. Show up with out any remediation products saying that's not what they were told to do they were just supposed to come and look and see what the problem was. This despite many numerous previous trips for this issue. They just saw the contract and did the barest minimum. One day they even said that they had arrived and left because no one was home. I was at home. The manager's office was open. I guess they forgot we have video of the front entrance and when we ran it guess who we didn't see? Now after having tried or Ortho 4 years ago with the same problem we have come to the realization that these companies actually don't train their employers or hire people with absolute knowledge about pests and Pest Control. It's just here's the problem. Check this on the list of things to try. And if nothing works, shrug and suggest we try another company. I can't believe for the life of me that after 7 months an extermination company the size of Terminix can't get rid of black-eyed fruit flies. We're done with them. Unless you know exactly what your problem is and you know how to fix it don't ask Terminix to fix it for you. Some of the worst service from a company I've experienced in years.
