We've had Area Wide Exterminators for many years. We've always been happy with their service, which was great service. Melissa is our current technician and does a great job, always pleasant and will accommodate any requests. They call the day before as a reminder it is time for service. read more

We've had AreaWide Exterminators for many years. We've always been happy with their service. Today, however, a young man named Conner serviced us. He was exceptional. He spent a lot of time thoroughly covering our lawn, flowerbeds, and the perimeter of our house with the chemicals. He knocked down all the cobwebs all around our house. When he was done, he rang our doorbell to leave the bill. My husband answered the door and told him what a good job he did. Connor then thanked my husband and shook his hand. It's just so nice to find good, professional service along with great manners! read more

I have been with Area Wide for many years off and on. Only off when economic reasons compel me to temporarily suspend service. I have never been disappointed However, this last service visit the technician Westley went above and beyond. He observed a potentially dangerous situation, he took photos and phoned me. I was able to get the situation resolved within a couple of hours. I am very grateful for the few people who aren't afraid to look outside the box. Thank you, Westley!!! read more

Gage P. was great at keeping my yard bug free. He gets all the webs down and gives those insects the business. Thank you Gage

Brittnie is our service provider and she is amazing. I have a large property in the country and by far they are the best pest control I have had. It should be noted that I have gone through 8 others in 10 years. The immediate property they service is about 2 acres. We had a really bad beetle problem and they solved it in two visits! I was spraying myself before hiring them and putting down 8-16 gallons every 2 weeks but still had issues. I cannot stress enough how amazing it is that they go the extra mile whenever they can. They are also really good at communicating providing a heads up with schedule changes and before they arrive. Their customer service is really what I look for in every business and what large corporations should strive for. Their pricing is also really competitive. Recently Brittnie went out sick and two gentlemen came out to complete the service. Come to find out it was her Father and Grandfather. I think her mother works in the office too so this is heavily if not completely family owned and operated which honestly explains everything. There is a personal sense of ownership and passion for what they do which isn't just pest control but also helping people, getting to know their customers, and providing a level of customer service that is hard to find anywhere these days. Thank your for all that you do and for setting the bar high! read more

I have had an ongoing monthly service relationship with Area Wide Exterminators spanning many years. The personnel are reliable, personable and very thorough. On more than one occasion I have utilized their services for unique "problems" - i.e., a bee infestation, silver fish infestation and wasp presence. In each case, the AWE professionals handled the challenges promptly and correctly. I have ultimate faith in this well-run reputable company. The owners have a strong ethic and unfailing integrity. A+++ rating. Karen Graff read more

I have used Area Wide for years and continue to be impressed with their service. Our technician, Wesley, is friendly, communicative and informative. If I ask a question, he will respond and offer suggestions. He is always quick to recommend next steps and is proactive in helping us. I would highly recommend using them read more

Two of your service staff came out today to spray and check out a concern I had. Britney is one, and I don't know the name of the gentleman. They took some time to pull out some very large stubborn weeds in my yard. They did this out of the goodness of their hearts!! I wish I could give 10 stars for the great job and service they provided. Thank you a million! Everyone- Area Wide is the one to choose!! They go above and beyond and it is a great value ! JWilliams, Lockeford read more

Always happy with the service we receive from this company as well as our personal technician, Melissa!! We are always, without fail, given a reminder phone call the day before service and a text from Melissa when she is on her way to us. Also, when she is done, a text letting us know that gates are secured and service was done. Would recommend Area Wide for your pest service over and over again!! read more

I had ants coming into the house after outside pest service. Melissa came and took care of the problem and no more ants! She also laid rat traps after wires were chewed on outside. Thank you, Melissa! read more

This is my first time using an exterminator service... My expectations have been greatly exceeded... Our area rep is extremely knowledgeable, personable and reliable to say the least... Melissa lives in the area she services and goes above and beyond for her clients... We really appreciate all that you've done and continue doing for us... Thanks Melissa and Area Wide!!! read more

Have used Area Wide Exterminators for about 4 years. My only reason for using their service was to get rid of an ant problem in my kitchen. The ants were coming into the kitchen from 3 electrical sockets above the counter. For over 4 years Area Wide has came out and sprayed, put bait traps up, and/or put some poisoning into the sockets. But this never worked to kill the ants. Ants would return most times the next day. I finally stopped the service, because they were unable to handle my ant problem. It's a lot cheaper for me to just buy ant spray and rid them myself. That seems to work just as good, if not better than what they did. Area Wide was also not dependable to come out as scheduled, which was bimonthly, (unless called between service dates). Sometimes they would miss 2 - 3 months. Just wasn't dependable, couldn't get rid of ants. read more

I love the Area Wide family! From Carol and Lisa in the office to Cindy and Melissa here at our house! I am writing this because Cindy came today and it's hot out there. I appreciate that she was kind enough to call first. She is friendly and very professional. She had been here at least 40 minutes attacking the terrible spiders everywhere when she had to go refill. She came back quickly and let us know she was here again. Then she continued for at least 30 minutes more making sure our yard was taken care of. She is so caring and thorough and I am so grateful for all her diligence in doing such a spectacular job. She's terrific! Thank you Cindy!!! read more

They do not disclose that they will be charging your account in advance for their service. They did not come out/schedule several monthly service calls. I had to call them twice to remind them they needed to service my property. When they did come out and thought no one was home, they serviced our home in about 10 minutes. We continued to have bugs inside the home and lots of spiders outside. When we cancelled our service we asked for a refund for the advance charges on our account. After three weeks of no response, no refund, I had to call to get them to process a refund. PROS: They had some very nice people who serviced our property but never the same person. read more

I have had Area Wide Service for many years and I am so please with their service and the friendly staff.

I have been using Area Wide Pest Control since 2004. This family owned company came highly recommended by a family friend. Originally the technician was David. He was extremely courteous, knowledgeable, & took care of all the pest issues. My technician is now Melissa. She arrived on time, was professional, knowledgeable & took care of all my concerns. She was very thorough & her attention to detail was impeccable. I really appreciate this company & would suggest utilizing this company if you have any pest control issues. Ask for Melissa, she's great, I'm sure the other techs are great as well. read more

I spoke to someone name Andre on 01/01/18, who was very nice and had great customer service. He helped me schedule a termite inspection for today (01/06/18). During our phone conversation, he advised me that the inspector would arrive anytime between 8:00am - 10:00am, and the inspection fee would be $175.00. He advised me that I would pay the $175.00 directly to the inspector; however, if my home needed services, the fee of $175.00 would be rolled into the service fees. I agreed to these terms because it all sounded reasonable. On Thursday, 01/04/18, I received a phone call from Cindy advising me that there was a scheduling conflict for Saturday and wanted to know if we could reschedule. I told her that I couldn't reschedule and really need a Saturday appointment--she then said we could leave it scheduled for Saturday, and she would call me back if there's any issues. About an hour later, I called Cindy back to confirm that we were all good for the Saturday appointment because if not, I would need to contact a different company that could accommodate. She assured me that everything was good and someone would be there between 8am - 10am. So, here we are...Saturday. I waited and waited, but nobody ever showed up between 8:00am - 10:00am. So I called the company and a woman answers (who I believe might've been Cindy again); I asked her if the inspector was still coming. She said the inspector would be at my house in the next half hour, but then she took the opportunity to confirm if the fees were already explained to me. I advised her of what Andre told me ($175.00 inspection fee). She then told me that I was misinformed and that the inspection fee was actually $275.00. I told her that I had confirmed everything with Andre when I booked the appointment and he clearly said $175.00. She kept insisting that he misinformed me and that the fee would be $275.00. As you can imagine, I was really upset and felt like I was being jerked around. First of all--they couldn't even keep the appointment, like why did I even have to call to see if they were still coming?? And I totally felt like they were trying to charge me extra for the Saturday appointment by being sneaky and adding in the extra $100. So, of course I canceled and told her to not send the inspector anymore because that's just absurd. This might've been a blessing disguise because I quickly called Clark Pest Control in Stockton and was able to book a same day appointment. They are sending someone this afternoon and guess what? FREE INSPECTION. So, if you guys need termite inspections, I highly recommend calling Clark or any other company because Area Wide Exterminators are clearly unreliable and flaky. Oh yeah, and they're LIARS. read more

They communicate with us well so we know exactly when they are coming. Our representative Mellisa is friendly, and takes the time to listen to our concerns and makes recommendations on treatment of ants or any other issues we are having read more

We've been with Area Wide Exterminators for several years. All your techs have always done a good job. Your tech, Cindy, just did our property in Tracy and it was above & beyond what we would normally expect. She did the best job ever. read more

We have both residential and business services with Area-Wide. Each of these accounts are somewhat complicated due to their respective environments and service conditions. The commercial account may only be serviced on weekends (and now with added CDC covid restrictions and located within an oak grove). The residential service is located where all the other bugs and wild life live! David is the most conscientious and thorough technician we have had (in 20 years of doing business with many other service tecs and their businesses.) He does not take short-cuts and does exactly what we ask, and also keeps us updated concerning what is permissible within this industry, all while balancing our somewhat variable needs and differing strategies. David's overall experience, reliability, and dedication in this business has evolved into making him our "Go-To" with in the Area-Wide organization. We appreciate and look for "that person" in all of our sub- contracted services to hopefully create the synergies both our businesses need . W. J.

I am highly recommending AREA WIDE EXTERMINATORS who I recently switched to when an issue with Mice reoccurred in my home. These guys stand apart from the rest beginning with late hour real human customer service, set up a new account with a scheduled service call at 11pm on a Sunday night. Unheard of, this was followed with Frank, clearly a seasoned tech, who investigated, efficiently devised a service plan, went over details including the equipment & strategic locations placing them. It was apparent he was an expert in his field & left us knowing we were in good hands. Next was a panicked call after crossing paths with a mouse that Carol handled with excellent customer service skills by immediately putting a call out for a tech & had one come out early the next morning. The tech who responded to the call was Mellissa the regular service tech from our second visit & brought extra options that worked by the next day. What really impressed me was that she took ownership, showed she really cares inquiring information to better help, offered to come out to take pictures of the house. This could identify entry points that can be sealed to keep Mice out. As close to a permanent solution as it gets!So refreshing to experience stellar performance that goes hand in hand with a high work ethic, Mellissa is advancement material. Not to mention Lisa a manager in accounting that was great about my first payment not going through due to cancelled card because of fraudulent activity. SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT, regardless did not stress out & pressure me in any way. This is CUSTOMER FULFILMENT IN ACTION! Thanks again to the awesome team that is AREA WIDE EXTERMINATORS. Sincerely, Janet Avila read more

I had an appointment scheduled for yesterday and they never showed up. I called last night and left a message asking for them to call me to let me know when they would show up. I haven't received a call and no one is answering the phone now. Maybe my rating will change after I can get a hold of them and they show up. UPDATE: I was able to get a hold of someone and they re-scheduled my appointment for the next day. When I got home I still saw 2 black widow spiders in my garage and they were alive. I assumed that the exterminator didn't show up again, but when I called to ask about it I was told that the chemical they use now is not instantaneous. They sent me information on the chemical that was used and it indeed does take a couple of days to work. After I read that it's basically a slow, painful death for these spiders, I had my son's father put them out of their misery by just squashing them. I haven't seen anymore spiders around since. read more

I am currently working on a VA refi. I was told I had to get a termite inspection. I called two other companies then Area Wide. They were the only one willing to work with my difficult schedule and time frame, (needed next day service and they made it happen). Dave showed up early, introduced himself and asked if it was OK that he was early. YES! He went straight to work explaining what he was doing as he went along right up until he was done. He was very careful not to track a mess up from under my house upon completion of that part of the inspection. The next business day as promised, he sent me a copy of the report. I would definitely recommend Area Wide. As soon as I get my loan completed I plan on setting up a pest service with them. read more

This company is definitely 5 stars! The sent Brittni Smith out to our home and she was so polite and eager to listen to our needs and get right to work. We have had some absolutely horrible service from other companies that were sent out through our home warranty, Old Republic Home Protection, that made me feel uncomfortable in my own home! Brittni is a total asset to this business, she was hard working, polite, had a smile on her face, and genuinely happy to be doing her job! We need more "Brittni's in this world"!! read more

David has been working on our house for the past 8 years and he is always reliable, thorough, and does excellent work. He is very friendly and nice. We highly recommend him for any pest control needs! read more

I appreciate the timely service and assistance from technician Melissa. She was very helpful as always, since buying my home she's been the technician that comes out and does an awesome job. read more

After seeking an exterminator in the local area who would access my attic and crawlspace, where the sounds of rodent activity were emanating from, to no avail -- I was extremely satisfied to locate Area-Wide Exterminators of Stockton, who assured me that they would both travel to Galt, as well as locate and eradicate the source of our problem. An initial visit from their field manager, Nick, who assessed the situation and then scheduled a service appointment for the following day -- Area-Wide sent out their technician David Turney, who I cannot say enough positive things about in terms of the scope of the service he provided. David initially inspected the entire perimeter of the house and garage, as well as the roof for any other issues or potential entry sites, and he accessed the attic area himself to inspect for any potential damage or other issues that may have not been visible from the exterior without hesitation. Consequently, not only was David was more than proficient in both identifying the access site, but also advising us how to eliminate further access and he made an effort to physically correct the problem. Once he was able to find the access site utilizing his clear wealth of experience, he was then able to repair and eliminate it. After baiting the attic area as a precautionary measure and providing us with the reassurance that we had caught the interloper at an early stage, David then scheduled a return visit to do a follow-up to make sure the problem had been solved Overall, we were extremely pleased with both the professionalism and customer service that David demonstrated, as well as the cost for the service and results Area-Wide provided, which we found very reasonable for the peace of mind it has given us. We would recommend that when you are looking for Pest Control or Exterminator services in the Central Valley area that you utilize Area-Wide as your company of choice -- and ask if David is available to provide your service. You won't be disappointed. read more

We are especially satisfied with Brittany Smith who works for Area Wide Exterminators as she is so thorough and professional. Everyone at Area Wide is courteous. read more

Completely worthless..scheduled an appointment for some rodent extermination at my residence and they flaked. Not even a courtesy call to reschedule or anything. Sucks that I passed up overtime at work to make it home for the appointment just to save a couple bucks on a more affordable company. They clearly don't need my business.. read more

I used this service for my parents. Area Wide Exterminators were very easy to work with. Russell was aw some!! I would recommend them to everyone. They were also affordable. read more

Area Wide has been servicing my house for almost 2 decades now and am very pleased with service and staff they have. Most recently, the 2 techs that are awesome and are very customer service oriented are Wyatt and Deborah. They are very professional, knowledgeable of the insecticides they apply, very courteous and take their time to make sure all areas that need to be treated are, and take into consideration clients personal needs and wants. Wyatt does a great job explaining exactly what he is applying and how it is being applied. Having been in a family run business myself, with over 90+ years of service and 4 generations, i know what good customer service is and they definitely have tapped into it with these 2 and the office staff. Lisa is always pleasant to talk to when i call and makes sure my needs are addressed and implemented to her tech staff. Also, i had an issue this past year with one of my pets getting sick, we think from the recent application of the spray, and Carol, the owner, showed great compassion and concern for my lil guy and even went as far as to get the mfg rep on a conference call with me to go over my concerns and assure me of the safety of the product they use and apply. That is a huge plus for me and should be the standard for all service related companies. The only issue I have with them, which I believe they will work on, is the issue of rotating techs and not having the same 1 or 2 techs service my house. I think that is important so the client can develop a good working relationship with their service tech and vice versa. Prices are going higher so hopefully they can perform at the same level without having to increase service prices and keep very competitive. All in All - Great Job !! read more

My very first time trying local exterminator; i was charged $450 for 1 time GUARANTEED SOLUTION. and guess what poor job and never showed up or bothered again!! and the person that did the job is the supervisor Will not recommend to anybody! read more

It's been a pain in the ass just to get them to come out. They missed the first scheduled appointment, telling me you were actually scheduled tomorrow. The next day they called saying they were double booked (obviously schedule placed me on the wrong day). When they finally came out to handle rodent problem, the technician, Troy, was awesome. He seemed like he truly cared to resolve this issue. He said he'd be back on Monday to seal the access points where the mice and rats could be getting in. We arranged to be home on Monday for this appointment - no one showed up. I called - the office told me "No, you're scheduled for an appointment in two weeks". What!?!?! Two weeks!?!?!?! Meanwhile, the mice in the walls are keeping my entire family up at night, there's mice droppings everywhere, including in my kids rooms. We are so frustrated now... read more

Two years ago I would have given four stars. They came out quickly for an emergency bug issue and the tech was very knowledgeable and price was fair. We have been on their bimonthly service ever since. The past few months we have had horrible communication. There have been no-shows, or the tech appears unannounced when we are not home. Since we didn't know they were coming, they couldn't spray because dogs were in the yard. I was promised a free May service but they never called to come out until the day of a big family event. Then they came back without notifying me when again, I wasn't home. The tech rescheduled me for before ten this past Saturday and never showed. So much for my free make-up service. When I called to cancel service they were unconcerned. So sad, I had really liked them when we started with them! read more

Great service always friendly customer service when you call in and also technicians that come out are great and affordable

The only person I would recommend getting things done correctly would be Lor. He is always on time and is pleasant. He works fast and always answers my questions. You need more workers like him. Keep up the good work! read more
