We've been with Home Pest Control since we bought our house 15 years ago. They provide quarterly…read moreservice for pest, spray outside our house, our shed, and are always careful of our pets. The few times when we had a problems between regular service, I called them, they responded quickly, and took care of whatever the particular problem was. Our technicians have always been personable, professional, and efficient. I would recommend them highly.

I am giving Rocket Pest a 1 Star review. We hired them to come out to our newly purchased house to…read moretake care of a roach issue. They came out cleaned all the webs from around the house sprayed the outside and inside for bugs and laid poison for the roaches. Didn't quite work the first time and we requested they come out again ( they came out for free), they came out with in days of calling and laid another round of spray and poison down; within a week we had no sighting of bugs in the house , GREAT! Now a month or so later we see a mouse in the garage at first, and after a day or so find evidence of them in our kitchen ; oh boy we gotta get this handled. We were scheduled for pest control to come out for the 3 month service so we waited for our regular guy, he showed up. We informed him of our issue and he said he would have to schedule someone else to come out, we said okay. Two days later another gentleman shows up. He walks around the outside of the house in 4 minutes comes in and looks around the kitchen and walks back to his truck. Then comes back in and hands us a quote of $2400 to change our crawl space foundation vents and extermination because one of them has a small tear in the screen on the bottom. I couldn't believe my ears. Not only does this guy show up and spend a total of 5 minutes "inspecting" in which he has no clue in what he was doing , he then has the audacity to hand a $2400 quote over to me for some foundation crawl space vents we don't even need!!!!! If this clueless salesman would have taken even 10 seconds to look in our crawl space through the door ( undue the latch and swing the door open) he would have seen it is freshly and fully encapsulated from the ceiling to the floor and surround in which the house would not even need the quantity of 10 automatic $35 foundation vents. FYI an encapsulated foundation with humidifier does not need venting. After hearing how Rocket Pest Control was trying to screw us over with a punk salesman on something that we didn't even need in addition to not even being able to treat the problem without charging us an additional charge, we were done. After he left we immediately called to cancel our service with them with a $100 cancellation fee just to bend ya over a little bit more. Every day for 10 days after we canceled our service, we continued to get emails trying to get us to sign and pay for the $2400 job. I am including pictures so you yourself can read through the documents ( look at the service price , Notes, extra monthly fees, and NO GUARANTEE disclaimer), they do great for standard roaches, ants, and spiders but hurt your wallet for no good reason other than to benefit themselves, GOOD LUCK. Ps we were able to get rid of the mice with glue traps and poison.

He did a thorough check upstairs in the attic area. No evidence of squirrels but it was a relief to know they had not gotten inside. He did a walk around inspection outside to check for possible issue entry points. Jason was very polite and thorough with his inspection. I would recommend Critter Ridder for any issues with pesky animals that can cause damage to your home.

The quotes were considerably higher than I was comfortable paying. I called Allstar Wildlife to get a quote from them. Brad inspected our home and gave me a quote on steps that were required to remove the bats and prevent their return. His quote saved me thousands. He came out and determined that the bats had left the soffit area and took the needed steps to seal my home from bats and prevent their return. He took the time to explain to an old man why each item on his quote was needed and how it would prevent future problems. Brad was courteous, had lots of patience with me, did outstanding work and charged a reasonable price for his services. I highly recommend Brad and Allstar Wildlife Removal.

BEWARE! TRICKERY! DECEPTIVE! Brad Gross, the "owner" of…read moreAllstar Wildlife, came to my house on 3/21/22 to inspect what I thought was squirrels in my attic. He determined it is rats (allegedly). He set "traps" that date and said he'd return the next day to check them, feeling certain there'd be rats trapped. He returned 3/22/22 and there was nothing. He advised he'd return on 3/24/22 and certainly there would be at least one trapped. He came back again on 3/24/22 and again, nothing. At this visit he asked me for $150.00, assuring me we would eventually catch them....No contract yet given to me, no nothing in writing. However, I agreed and gave him $150.00 in cash. No receipt. He didn't come back at all Friday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday! On Monday I expressed my irritation in a nice but firm fashion. However, he was too busy at another job to deal with me and would get to me tomorrow (3/29) On the afternoon of Tuesday 3/29/22 I received an email with a line-item fix-it list (ie, closing up outdoor areas that he thinks the rats can get in by, yet I never saw any of these areas and I don't have any sort of open area to my house, Bio cleanup attic space, etc). The invoice also reflected the $150 paid for "trapping" and an eventual total amount of $570. He texted me on that afternoon (Tuesday 3/29) indicating he'd like to come by and check the traps. I replied that I was at work but would once again, leave early. I have now missed a total of 9 hours of work over the span of 1 week, with no results. He came to my house, collected the traps without speaking to me at all, and as he was walking out the front door I stopped him and asked if he'd caught anything. "Nothing", he said. I asked him what the plan was and he informed me I should find another company to help me. I asked him about the $150.00 I gave him just a few days ago on 3/24 and he said, "That was for trapping". I said, "You haven't trapped anything and now you're not even going to honor the contract you just sent me today... so you had me leave work early again just to come collect your traps." He said, "Well I didn't want to charge you for them." I then told him that I'd be leaving online reviews as this is trickery, deception, and bad business and he became irate, calling me names as he stormed out of my house, saying, 'I dare you, and I'll get you back'. I sent him one final text requesting he return the $150 I gave him, and I was met in return with a barrage of foul and hateful names and threats to sue me for slander. Do not do business with this 'man' (I use that term loosely). He obviously has no idea what he's doing, takes money from people before a job is completed or even partially completed, and then threatens and name calls. This is NOT someone you want in your home around your family. Additionally, requesting $150 should have been a red flag, but refusing to return it is an even bigger one! Do yourself a favor and let my mistake be your gain. Call another wildlife removal service! Call ANYONE BUT Allstar Wildlife or Brad Gross. Also, do a criminal history check of Tracey Brad Gross. Domestic violence, foreclosures, etc. Guy is a fraud.
