    Bent beyond repair and unfastened chimney cap
    Othar L.

    I recently hired Clark to fumigate my house for dry wood termites...or at least I thought I was hiring Clark. They basically pull a bait and switch on fumigations, they sell you they are doing the fumigations but once you sign the contract, Clark subcontracts fumigation work to a company called SoCal Fumigation. The salesman Dan Smith was not upfront with me about this and I only found out another company was doing the work less than a day before the work. This did not give us time to cancel our hotel reservation and look for another company so we had to go through with the work. One of my concerns with having the house tented was the crew walking on the solar panels mounted on the roof, Dan Smith from Clark Pest and Hugo from SoCal Fumigation assured me that would not happen. Well, as they were removing the tent i watched one guy made a direct step onto the panels so I shouted up from the ground and asked him not to. After this, I climbed up their ladder and saw a lot of footprints on the solar panels from when they installed the tent. They don't care at all about protecting solar panels. A few minutes later I saw one of the crew removing the tent from the chimney cap. They had completely flattened the chimney cap. So this guy is up there trying to bend the chimney cap and make it look like it's fine. He finishes, climbs down, and goes onto another project. I climb up their ladder again and find that he just set the chimney cap on the masonry work, it was not fastened in any way. Our chimney cap is 13" x 18" made from sheet steel and expanded metal mesh. Basically something that could easily blow off if it's not fastened, fall down to our back yard, and seriously injure someone. It was a serious safety hazard and this guy was going to say nothing. The chimney cap was beyond repair so I had to have it replaced. Additionally they damaged two other flue caps and several shingles. You have to sign a form that states you will fix any of the roof damage. Plan on adding a couple hundred dollars or more to fix what they break on the roof when they are done. I also noticed these guys dug holes in my yard. I asked about this and they said they needed dirt for something. Heres the thing, these guys are so lazy and careless that they dug holes in the landscaping right where they needed the dirt. The other half of our yard is being redone and just dirt, all they had to do is walk to get a shovel-full of dirt. One hole where they dug in new landscaping was 8' away from 2 cubic yards of fresh planting dirt that had just been delivered. Yet they destroyed new landscaping for a shovel-full of dirt. Two more things. 1. Their truck leaked oil on our driveway. 2. They walked on our daughter's bed with their boots on to open/ close a window. Yep, dirty footprints all over her bed. So did I have a good experience with Clark Pest? Absolutely not. If I need fumigation again I will shop for a company that actually does the work and will treat our house with a little more respect. Here is my text conversation with Dan Smith about the work being subcontracted- Me: hey, why didn't you tell me you were contracting this work out to another company? Dan Smith, Clark Pest: I did, we spoke about it on my second visit when I brought the bags and had the notices for you to sign. Me: uh no, you mentioned multiple times about "your guys" and "our crew". you certainly never told me the company name. i can't even find a bit of useful info on Socal Fumigation. this really feels like a bait and switch Dan Smith: I assure you it is not. This is the same service that our company has been providing since 1941. I apologize if I made you feel in any way uneasy. We and they are fully licensed, insured and bonded. Me: so why are they doing the fumigation not Clark? Dan Smith: The only thing Clark doesn't do in house is fumigations. Me: who is this company Socal Fumigation? What kind of guarantee do they offer on their service? Dan Smith: They guarantee that the job will be completed to industry standards and we offer a 2 year guarantee. So basically, if the termite activity doesn't stop - they will redo at no charge Our guarantee covers you for evidence showing up with in 2 years. Me: who is this company Socal Fumigation? Dan Smith: They are a company dedicated to only fumigations. They are in Oxnard and we have done thousands of fumigations with them. I have personally done a hundred or more Me: do they only do contract work with other pest companies? trying to figure out why their digital footprint is almost nill. Dan Smith: Yes they only work with termite companies because of the report writing. In order to have a fumigation done in California, first you must have an inspection from a licensed inspector. Then a report is filed with the state. When and only when the presence of dry wood termites is found the fumigation can be done. We do all of the inspections, reports and filings. They do the fumigation

    Huge thank you to Grayson Termite for making a very stressful first-time home buying experience so…read moremuch easier. When you're buying your first house, especially an older neglected property, it's hard not to feel overwhelmed and honestly a little suspicious that everyone is trying to upsell you or take advantage of the situation. Mike from Grayson immediately gave us peace of mind. He was kind, honest, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. What really stood out was his honesty. He actually recommended that we not do termite treatment because it wasn't necessary. He pointed out that what I thought was termite damage was actually wood rot caused by malfunctioning gutters. That level of integrity is rare and instantly earned our trust. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and took the time to educate us instead of trying to scare us into expensive unnecessary work. As first-time homeowners, that meant a lot. Once everything was completed, we genuinely felt relieved and much more comfortable moving into the house. He quoted us a very fair and reasonable price for remediation and pest work, which included cleaning and disinfecting an affected area, repairing screens, setting traps, and multiple follow-up visits. They even gave us a slight discount for using them after the inspection. Nick Grayson, the owner, and Domingo came out on a Saturday to help clean and prep the property because our movers were arriving Monday. That alone says a lot about the company. Nick mentioned he's been doing this for over 20 years and it absolutely shows -- no BS, no scare tactics, no upselling, just fast, honest, high-quality work. I joked that he must really hate pests at this point and Domingo happily replied that he's been exterminating for over 30 years. They arrived on time, ready to work, and got everything done quickly while still being extremely thorough. They also treated our home and property with a lot of respect during cleanup, which we really appreciated. Since they treated the property, we genuinely haven't seen a single insect. The treatment was also pet safe, which was really important to us -- we only had to leave the house for about an hour or two. They also have a dedicated office person coordinating scheduling and relaying information, which made communication smooth and easy throughout the process. That said, these guys are clearly in high demand and now I understand why. Give yourself at least a couple days if you want to book them because truly honest companies that do quality work at fair prices are hard to find. If you're a first-time homeowner and can get on their schedule, you can absolutely feel safe trusting them with your inspection and treatment needs. Grayson is worth every penny and I would absolutely give them 5 stars without hesitation.

    I had an appointment this morning with Nick from Grayson Termite & Pest Control and was extremely…read morepleased with Nick's professional, customer service and knowledgeable. Nick was thorough in ever aspect on the inspection and was detailed in his reporting verbally which he will be following up with potential findings and recommendations.

    Squirrels were destroying my hardscaping. My backyard is terraced, with three tiers above the lawn…read moreand staircases on both sides. The squirrels were tunneling beneath the stairs and near the retaining walls, causing significant damage and potentially compromising the integrity of the yard. Over the past two years, I noticed that the coyotes whose yowls once woke me at night seemed to have disappeared. At the same time, my backyard squirrel population exploded. I did not want to use poison, so I started with less aggressive options. First, I placed strong-smelling squirrel-repellent balls inside the den openings. I even wore gloves because they smelled so awful. The squirrels were completely unimpressed. Next, I baited rat traps. The squirrels knocked them over and ate the bait. Then I bought a device that was supposed to lure the squirrels inside and kill them instantly. It caught nothing. It did, however, attract spiders. I added fake owls throughout the yard. Some moved in the wind, while others were solar-powered, moved, and screeched. The squirrels ignored every one of them. Eventually, I hired a company that treated the numerous squirrel dens. When we continued to see many squirrels, I called the company back, and they treated the dens a second time. It still did not solve the problem. Finally, I called Ventura Pest Control. Ryan explained that their approach was different. During the first week, he placed food around the yard so the squirrels would become comfortable eating it. The following week, he placed the same bait inside traps and returned each day to remove the captured squirrels. The results were remarkable. Ryan caught 12 squirrels on the first day, four on the second, and two on the third. After years of damage and multiple failed solutions, Ventura Pest Control solved the problem. I only wish I had called them first.

    We live in a condo complex and the HOA recently had our property tented by Ventura Pest control…read more A couple days before they were scheduled to tent our property we called and informed them that there was an active Red Finch bird nest in one of the eves. They sent a supervisor out by the name of Leland. He told us that Red Finches were not protected, and that they would tent over the nest killing the baby birds. After hearing this, I chose to move the nest myself, knowing that the birds would have a low likelihood of survival after, but figured it was better than them getting tented over and having no chance. A few days later I found out that Red Finches are protected. I called Leland he proceeded to laugh and say "didn't you move the nest?" I explained to him that yes I had. But only because he had it for me that they were going to tent over it. I am going to report them to Fish and Wildlife, but was hoping you could help get my message out that Ventura Pest is at best unethical, but more likely just blatantly breaking the law. I doubt that Leland is operating/acting on his own. Either Chuck Cooley, and the Moberly brothers are negligent but more than likely fully aware and involved with these illegal practices. Ventura locals should not support this business.
