Bateman Termite treated our commercial property in Torrance. From start to finish, they made the entire process easy for us and our tenants. More than that, they were professional, thorough, prompt and extremely friendly and helpful. Very satisfied with Bateman. I highly recommend. read more

Mat and his crew are always just a phone call away. Honest, explain the why and charge a fair price.

The entire process was so easy with them. Accommodated all of my requests. Their team was very efficient with placing the tent and removal. No damage to any of my property and they double checked all my work. read more

I have been using Matt for the last 15 years, he is very knowledgeable and honest . He shows up when he says he will, and he gives you solutions to any problems he might be having with rodents or termites. I highly recommend him, I recommended him to my aunt two different times into a couple of friends. He is very reasonably priced. read more

Great people to work with. I have used then since I bought my house in 1994, and glad to see theey are still in business. THorough and reasonably priced! read more

Great service. Went to these guys for some help with termites, and they were extremely professional. They were very knowledgeable about these types of problems, and handled all of my questions in a patient manner. They were very thorough going over every bit of my house. When I got my place fumigated, I had a really difficult work schedule, and they were able to work around it. Their price was fairly reasonable compared to the other places that I got quotes from too. Couldn't ask for anything more. Hopefully I don't have any more problems with termites in the future, but if I do, I'll gladly give these guys a ring again. read more

We used Bateman to fumigate our house and we were extremely pleased with Mat and his crew. Mat showed up right on time for the initial meeting, surveyed the house, sent us his estimate and we accepted and scheduled the fumigation. Mat was super helpful in describing termite issues, the process of fumigation and exactly what we had to do to prepare for the fumigation. He and his crew showed up right on time, did the fumigation and we were back in the house in 2 1/2 days. If you need termite assistance, call Mat Bateman. Thank you Mat. read more

We used Bateman to deal with our termites and would definitely call on them again! Matt was very responsive and professional. He was very patient with all our questions and guided us thru the whole fumigation process. Highly recommend! read more

Today was the second time I have had Bateman come out and treat our yard (first time was about a year ago). Juan did an amazing job, just like the last time. We have had a spider and ant problem for years and Bateman took care of them! If you have a pest problem call them! They do a great job! read more

Matt is professional and goes the extra mile. We have used Bateman Termite Control both for our business and home. The process was smooth from start to finish, with excellent customer service support. I highly recommend them! read more

Spiders. *shudder* They creep me out so much that I'm hoping the tenting of my house will wipe those suckers out. Bateman was recommended to me by a Redondo real estate agent who has used their services for decades. It's a family-owned business, father & son, and they've been in this biz for more than 35 years. Bateman went the extra mile for me, in the sense they researched the fumigation procedure specifically for spider eradication. Turns out that it takes more fumigant to kill spiders than it does to kill drywood termites. So if I'd tented for termites only, chances are the spiders would have survived. So here's yet another wonderful, local, family-owned & operated business. And now I feel a story coming on..... Spider in my abode Your presence stops my heart I'm an arachnophobe One of us must depart Crikey on a bike! The spider's on my bed It's just a little tyke But I want it to be dead I'm bigger but it's faster I've got a can of Raid If I miss, it's a disaster My pillows will be sprayed I need someone to help me A superhero with a plan I'm as scared as I can be Wait......here comes Spider-Man! In a blur of blue and red He swings into the room Grabs the spider off the bed I'm saved from certain doom He disappears into the night As quickly as he came He must have had a fright When he saw my spider veins Was this just a dream Or have I lost my mind? I notice, in a moonbeam A bit of webbing left behind.... read more

See all

Left a message, got called back three hours later (not too bad), BUT: Johnny or whatever his name is has major attitude. I think he's ready to retire. Spoke to me like I am a complete moron. At one point, when he exasperatedly explained the process for a 20-minute job with a report going to Sacramento (as though everyone knows), I said "Oh wow -- all that just for spot treatment." He said "HOW long have you lived in California???" I'm a fourth-gen. native. "And you've never HEARD about this???" He seriously has no business returning potential customer calls. I will never call Bateman again, even on the chance it might not be him I talk to. Later. read more

Matt and his team are great. Our ant problem was so ridiculous! I'm talking ants in the bathtub, in the bed, in my dresser; I am a clean-freak and am cleaning and tidying near constantly, so the ants really made me feel disgusted to be in my own home. Now, however, it feels like home again! It's been a few days since Bateman sprayed the outside of our place, and I've seen a grand total of five sad and pathetic-looking ants since (which I promptly squashed with a feeling of triumph). I would 100% reccomend Bateman if you're having pest problems, it's as if that army of ants was never here. read more

Tenting for termites can be very stressful. However Johnny showed up when he said he Would. His price was reasonable and it went off without a hitch. No more termites! I highly recommend Bateman Termite. read more

I don't like leaving poor ratings for a business especially when it is a local small business but I feel that it is worth mentioning how poor of a customer service Bateman pest control gave me. I scheduled a service call for an estimate for inspection/ fumigation of my home. I spoke with Jeff I believe and confirmed a windows of time when he should come to my house. I waited and waited and no one showed up... mind you I saw a truck drive past my house without stopping or running the door bell. An hour later I called to find out the status of the technician and I was rudely informed that when they drove to my house another company was just leaving and Bateman would prefer to not bid against the other contractor that I was getting a quote from. I had fully disclosed that I'm getting multiple bids and from personal experience when getting work done it is always best to get a few quotes and find the contractor that I feel most comfortable with not only cost wise but service wise as well. I explained that to the gentleman from Bateman and he still declined to come and give me a quote... it seems that even in these times when many people and businesses are doing their best to stay afloat and keep their clients the owner at Bateman pest control is too busy and not interested in new business or quoting against other contractors... he wasn't even courteous enough to knock on my door or call me to tell me that he would not be able to give me a bid... just wasted my time! I would recommend if you want to work with someone who cares about customer service and is interested in new clients perhaps look elsewhere... Bateman is clearly plenty busy and very willing to turn business away.... read more

I called Bateman Termite a few months ago to combat a termite problem in my garage. I had contacted 3 other companies for estimates and Mat was the only one who showed up on time or showed up at all! He was very professional and took the time to show me what the problem was and what he recommended for a solution. The price was very reasonable and beat the competition! He and his staff showed up on time and were very quick in setting up the tent. They did a great job and did more than what was expected. I used Bateman again this month to tent my house. Again, very impressed with the contact and explanation of everything. Mat even called me to remind me to call the gas company to have the gas turned back on when the fumigation was completed. I would have forgotten! I would recommend Bateman Termite to everyone as they are completely reliable and honest. read more

This is a great company. Matt Bateman is honest, thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable. We have been using him for a decade and he always does great work. Highly recommend read more

We had a really bad ant problem this summer. Tried multiple things to keep them out of the house - sprays and terro baits. They worked for a bit but then the ants kept coming back in different areas of the house. Finally, I had it and wanted to pull my hair out. Called Matt and so glad we did. He was so friendly and got the job done quickly. He sprayed outside only and within a day the ants were gone. None inside or outside. Crossing my fingers that I don't jinx it but I'm so glad for Mat's service! read more

I was having a problem with Ants and called Bateman Termite Control and received a quick response along with great customer service. Matt is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I will never use another Termite company again, Bateman will be my go to. read more

We called Matt to take care of some bee & rodent issues at my parent's house. We were very pleased with the quality and thoroughness of the job. He was very helpful with all of our follow up questions. We plan to have him back to spray for insects. read more

Great customer service. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient, professional, hard working. Took time to explain treatment and answer all questions. Reasonably priced for such high quality service. Highly recommend this family run business for their services. I would not consider using anyone else. read more

I love this company! We called them to spray for spiders, silverfish, and earwigs that had taken over our home. Ewww, nasty! Mat Bateman is the nicest guy! Not only did he spray, he went through the whole property beforehand and cleaned out all the cobwebs - something I have never seen any other company take the time to do. Then he sprayed. The last time we had him come, he did such a fabulous job the spiders didn't come back for 2 years. 2 YEARS!!!!! So great! I wouldn't recommend anyone else. These are the guys! read more

I had significant wood damage from termites and dry rot. When I determined that it was beyond the capabilities of my handyman, Bateman Termite did a thorough inspection of my house and provided a detailed report as to the extent of the damage. They repaired the damaged areas, in some cases better than new. Once that was done, they tented the house to kill any remaining termites. Everything was done when they said it would be, and the quality of the work was excellent. read more

Mr Bateman came to our house because of a pidgeons infestation. He adviced us smartly and did a great job, he has reasonnable price and works fast. I highly recommend him . read more

Matt got rid of all our ants. He gave us a very good price and is very friendly and knowledgeable. Thank you, Matt!

These guys are the BEST!!! We had a major ant infestation a few years back, and they treated our home and yard and the ants have never been back! Then just a few months ago we were having major flea issues in our house and yard, and after 1 treatment, eradicated the fleas completely! (Of course we treated our dogs too). We could not be happier with their service!!! read more

lame lame lame lack of customer service !! if your freaking busy at least return the customers phone calls.

Matt Bateman did an awesome job on knocking out the ant problem I had at my house! Within a day, my wife and I didnt see 1 ant in the entire house. It was such a relief not to have to deal with the ants. I even left cat food out for a few hours just to see if they would show up... not 1 ant. THANKS Matt!! read more

I am a retired widower on a fixed income. Finding a credible termite control firm is a crap shoot. After soliciting no less than seven estimates, I went with this father-son operation on the advice of a close friend whose daughter knew the son. It was an excellent recommendation. The father did the inspection, which was succinct with sufficient details, but without the thick padding and make-work reports that I got from other companies. We negotiated a fair price that was competitive. Repairs and tenting were done efficiently and on schedule, and there were no surprises or disappointments. Bateman is a family-run, competent and professional operation--rare in a field known for over-rated, over-priced opportunists. read more

Charged me $300. To install a water heater strap that costs $13. Now I'm wondering if the whole pest abatement job was a rip off. Time involved, probably about 20 minutes. They are also very slow to return my phone call. Still waiting for an explanation. read more

Our landlord had our places in Inglewood tented/fumigated (termite problems) in late February. It was afterwards that was the problem. The workers left the places so dirty. My husband and I were told by Johnny Bateman (in person) that we need not be concerned about windows being left open afterward. We explained to him that our primary residence is elsewhere and that we would not be back to Inglewood for quite a while. No problem, he says. Only one window was left open, but two doors were left open! Open to dust, insects, grit from airplanes flying overhead. The kitchen doors in both little houses were left open to the elements. Yes, the security screens were there and locked, but they do not keep out insects, rain, dirt. The kitchens were the worst, since of course the cabinets and drawers were open for the fumigation. When I spoke to him about the dirt, Mr. Bateman said "prove it." Not at all good. read more
