    PROOF OF PAYMENT.  RECEIPT.
    Ana H.

    ****THUGS | THEY HIRE THIRD PARTIES WHO THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY*** I do not know how to respond to reply's so here i am again, responding to the comments. I am not here to argue; I am here to give testimony of my own personal experience and will not reply again. Notice how this company never denied going to the home to intimidate and harass? Unreal. Be careful who you hire. As i said before, I will not be intimidated or harassed. My response: 1. we gave the key to your father. it was not lost. THIS IS A BLATANT LIE. YOUR COMPANY CONFIRMED YOU HIRED A THIRD PARTY WHO LOST THE KEYS AND REQUESTED I SEND YOU AN EMAIL AND RECEIPTS, WHICH I PROVIDED. 2. you did not pay anything (absolute zero payment received) WHY WOULD YOU SEND A RECEIPT IF PAYMENT WAS NOT MADE? MY BANK CONFIRMED THE AMOUNT WAS DEDUCTED. I PROVIDED YOU WITH THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER. 3. we made a mistake sending a payment confirmation email and proof of payment receipt. we trusted you because we never had a customer deceived our company like you. we called you emailed you and even sent a certified mail regarding your payment. zero response was made. if you would like to see our payment account, we are more than happy to assist you. we honestly never thought we would actually write a response comment like this to a customer. big sympathy for you. I NEVER RECEIVED A CERTIFIED NOTICE FROM ANYONE. SO I AM ASSUMING YOU WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION SOMETHING WAS RECEIVED WHICH IS WHY YOU SENT A THUG TO TRY TO HASSLE AND INTIMIDATE US. GOES TO SHOW WHO YOU ARE. SMH THANKS FOR THE SYMPATHY.

    We put our home on the market and needed to fumigate it prior to closing the sale. I had 4 different companies come to the house for an inspection and to provide us with an estimate for the work that needed to be completed. Each company performed an inspection but out of the four, Anteater Termite was the most thorough of all. We had an appointment for an inspection on a Saturday at 1:30. We drove down to the property and waited for their representative to arrive. Alex showed up almost an hour early and he was ready to get to work! I really appreciate companies that are punctual, if not early. Alex was very meticulous with his inspection. He left no stones unturned. He went through every room, climbed into the attic, examined the garage, took measurements, and did a careful inspection of the exterior. Once he was finished, he showed me areas of concern. He made sure that I understood exactly what he was talking about. I knew that the home had evidence of drywood and subterranean termites so nothing was new to me. However, it is all about what he found and how he would make the repairs. We wanted to make sure that the home will be ready at the close of escrow. I spoke at length with Kelly at their office. We communicated via email and telephone. If I was slow to respond to her emails, she called me to check in. I really appreciated this as I am relatively busy nowadays. Since the home is in escrow, the funds will be paid through the proceeds from the sale of the home. Documentation was sent to myself, the escrow company, and the listing agent. I was told that their employees would be at the house between 2:30-4:30 last Friday. However, they had a cancellation and their ETA was moved to 11:30-12:30. They showed up just before 11:30! Their crew got to work, making sure that food was removed from the home as well as any medications that we may have overlooked. I would say that they had 5-6 people working as a team and before I knew it, the tent was up! I was told that they'd be back to remove the tent on Monday between 6:30-7:30 AM. I made the drive from OC to LA County, arriving at the property at 6:34. They were already at the home and the tent was halfway removed. I gave them the key and they proceeded to enter the home. They checked the air quality levels and gave me the clearance to enter the home. We left the windows open to continue to let the house air out. By 9:00, another crew showed up to make some repairs to the home. Termites love to chew on wood and they needed to make some repairs to the exterior and interior of the home. While the home is still in great shape, these termites still found a way to use some portions as a snack! The wood was replaced, repaired, and repainted on the exterior. The home also has some original hardwood flooring still in place. They made the repairs to a couple of areas and it looks fabulous. I am grateful that Anteater Termite was able to accommodate us with short term notice. The paperwork stated that they needed two weeks advance notice to tent a home. They got it done within the same week. Now, we will be able to proceed with the sale of the home with peace of mind. I want to thank Anteater Termite for working with us and accommodating our schedule given an approaching deadline.

    Another job well done. This one in Fullerton.

    Alex always picks up the phone. His work is great. His crews are quick. His prices are always competitive. If there is an issue with the work, he makes it a priority to make it right. We also like tge fact that he paints his wood work. Most termite companies leave you with raw unfinished wood repair work.

    Hello Kelly & Bryan, First I would like to THANK YOU for your courteous & great work performed. From the minute I met Bryan, what a nice guy, and his inspection was very very thorough. He checked everything, and that impressed me. His inspection was over 1 hour. The Fumigation crew was FANTASTIC, and a special THANKS for Senor O. He removed the two antenna poles, and took special care with all the antenna cables coming across the roof when they tented the house. The wood repair crew was great, and their work was also GREAT. I am very happy with the results. Michael is a nice guy that one that does the subterranean termite procedure. Anteater was very affordable. Anyway THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT WORK!!! I will post GOOD REVIEWS on YELP, and NEIGHBORHOOD for the great work done!!!! I am VERY VERY happy with all the work that was done. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Anteater to everyone I know Thank You

    they were very careful and detailed when putting up tent

    See all

When I complained about this, they offered oh so politely to come inside the house to spray. They seem to have no conception that you spray outside so that you don't have to spray inside. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THIS COMPANY, THINK OF KILLING SPIDERS BY YOURSELF OR HAVING A HOUSE FULL OF TOXIC SPRAY. In 40 years of hiring pest control companies at various properties in and around LA, I have never seen one so incompetent. Spiders are only my major complaint. BACK TO WESTERN EXTERMINATORS.

    SO pleased and impressed with this company! Juan really is the best. We heard a rat moving around…read moreand chewing in our attic. A couple other companies came and used major scare tactics and fully overpriced their services. One of them didn't even do a perimeter check. The other was a smooth talker and made everything sound completely overblown. When Juan called and heard how much these other guys were charging, he told me to be careful. He and his crew came, did a thorough inspection around the house and in the attic, and explained the mild rat problem very calmly and reasonably. No scare tactics, way more reasonable / appropriate pricing, honest and clear with explanations and photos. They sealed all the entrances and set out traps. Within less than a week, I could smell that something had died, and even though we weren't at the pre-scheduled one-week mark to have the traps assessed, Juan went out of his way to come check the traps and found TWO rats that he had caught! The crawlspace was clear and we can finally be at ease that 1) the house is secured; and 2) we are rat-free without some rotting vermin attracting flies. Truly can not recommend this company enough. SO professional, respectful and trustworthy. The best!!

    Juan from Pro Excel Pest had recently controlled a rat situation in my attic, and I'm so grateful…read morefor how calm and professional he was during the entire process. When I was trying to get quotes for service and was dealing with poor and long drawn-out communication with other pest control companies, he stood out in the best possible way, promptly returning my call to schedule an inspection and consultation. Juan was also the least alarmist in his assessment of my problem. After the inspection he told me where he thought the rodents were coming in from and then offered a conservative plan of treatment: installing wire screens over those entry points, placing traps in the attic and crawl space, and monitoring the areas for a month to see if the rats returned. Compare this to a consultation and quote from another company, where they seemed to describe my attic as one big hazmat situation filled with rat droppings. On top of the exclusion service, they were pressuring me to do a costly deep cleaning of the attic with an install of new insulation, saying that they were available the next day to do all the work and that the rats would multiply exponentially if I didn't act soon. I didn't feel comfortable with being scared into the hard sell, so I didn't go with that company. (Later on I asked Juan if I needed my attic cleaned, and he said that the number of droppings was pretty minimal, so no.) It's been a month since the barrier screens were installed, which seemed to have solved the problem right away -- during each weekly follow-up visit from Pro Excel Pest to check the traps, they came up empty. And thankfully I'm not hearing any more squeaking or chewing noises in any part of my house. Am so happy with the result, and was happy to work with someone as pleasant, professional and efficient as Juan.

    My family and I moved into an older home which had an issue with termites, black widows, and water…read morebugs under the house especially under the kitchen area due to a busted water pipe. Feeling desperate, I researched and requested quotes from numerous companies here on Yelp. After receiving several quotes, I decided on this one company because they offered the best customer service, made it clear that all my pest issues would be handled, and had unbelievably affordable pricing. A time was agreed upon for a technician to come by our home within twenty-four hours to begin spraying a pesticide mix and to set off a bug bomb fogger. The technician arrived 30 minutes before our scheduled appointment, walked the entire property, and immediately got to work. The tech was on my property for less than 2 hours and crawled under the house to spray every single inch. He also sprayed our two yards, porch, patio, driveway, and around the garage. The technician also repaired all basement screens and other areas where bugs can return. While the tech was making these repairs, spiders, termites, and water bugs were seen crawling out from under the house onto my driveway and simply dying on the spot. This went on for the next hour. Needless to say, I was extremely happy and satisfied with the service I received from this company's employee (sorry, I do not recall his name). He was UNBELIEVABLE, friendly, hard-working, and highly committed to resolving this very stressful issue for my family and me. I am glad to report that since I had this treatment performed at our home, I have yet to see a single insect or any other critters anywhere near it.

    Great service! We woke up on Christmas Day to find hundreds of termites in our home, hovering…read morearound one of our window sills. Just what I asked Santa for... We first had another company come out to inspect our home and give us a quote. The other company barely looked inside the crawl space and told us it's subterranean termites and that we also have the other type of termites that need fumigation, but we can just do subterranean for now. When they sent us a quote, I think they just offered a 1-year guarantee. Josh from AABC came out a couple days later and was extremely thorough with his inspection. He walked through the entire house and even went into our attic. He educated us along the way about everything from termites, homes, etc. and answered all of our many questions. He told us that we do have both types of termites, but it's more pressing that we take care of the subterranean ones. Since we plan on remodeling parts of our house, he said we should hold off on tenting it until afterwards, in case any new wood has termites. It was comforting to know that despite our house being over 40 years old and having never been tented, there was minimal damage to our wood. Josh encouraged us to get at least a 3rd quote, but we didn't want to. Josh's quote was roughly similar to the other one (maybe slightly cheaper, but he offered a 10-year guarantee! Moreover, we liked Josh and believe in relationships. We felt Josh invested the time to earn our business. His crew came out and treated the perimeter and crawl space. They were quick, efficient, and easygoing. We appreciate dealing with honest businesses like AABC!
