It's been over 2 years since my last review. I hadn't used Clark Pest Control since mainly due to the pandemic. Otherwise, with the $30/month service I signed up for, they should have been out to my house for a free inspection yearly. I appreciated them initiating the inspection by calling me and asking if I would like them to come by (no-charge). A person arrived and inspected everywhere - inside and outside. When they found traces of termites and some damage we set up another appointment for someone else to come out to spray and repair the damage. Unlike my first experience, this process took two appointments rather than one. Besides how professional (arrived on time, wore slippers over their shoes in the house, wore face mask) and friendly both staff were, the best part was that I didn't have to pay for any of it! $2200 was covered under the $30 plan I had previously signed up for! The areas that needed spraying were taken care of and the damage on the outside of my house was repaired. So cool! read more

I honestly can't support any business that sends door to door sales people to people's houses at 9 pm at night. The whole "we'll have a truck in the area tomorrow" routine is pretty classless whether you have a truck "in the area" or not. With as much as I see their ads on TV, you'd think sending kids out door to door at night wouldn't be something they need to do. Pretty classless and unsafe. Going door to door at night in the country is also dangerous because so many of us have guns. At least I know who not to use in the future. Support local not out of town businesses. read more

**Avoid this company.** We had a regular pest-control contract with them and scheduled a termite inspection. The tech, **Richard Becerra**, showed up and did the inspection while I stayed inside. When he left, I discovered he had made a huge mess--wood chips and paint chips all over my vehicle, which scratched the finish. Then I went to lock my side gate and found that he had **broken a large, healthy succulent plant**. There were fresh boot prints in the soil and the break was clearly new (green, wet, and obviously just damaged). Nobody else had been back there--it was absolutely him. I called the office immediately, and while a manager came out quickly, he insisted it "couldn't have been Richard" even after I showed him the footprints and damage. Instead of taking responsibility, both he and the branch manager denied everything. It was incredibly unprofessional and dismissive. We canceled our contract on the spot. To make things worse, Richard later contacted me trying to move forward with his **$8,200 termite quote**, even after I told him not to. He then contacted me *again* to tell me he wanted to "pray for me." If he reaches out one more time, I'll be filing a harassment report. **Unprofessional, dishonest, and careless from top to bottom. I do not recommend this company.** read more

So beyond disappointed with this company. I have been a loyal customer for over 3 years on their monthly program spending $165/mo. I cancelled service last month because we are moving out of state this month. A gopher hole just popped up in my front year. When I called them back and spoke to person who's been servicing our property the last 3 years, they quoted me $350!!! Such greed!! I'm so upset I used this company the last several years. What horrible company moral read more

Be aware of CLARK's door to door salesman's claims. They will claim their products or certified organic and won't kill butterflies and bees the day after they sprayed I found a dead butterfly in my garden next to the house where they sprayed. When I asked to cancel due to the false claims, they said they could talk about using the organic products which the salesman told me were already using and included in what I signed up for, I told them I can not trust them and want to cancel the service. They then told me the will be charging me $200 to cancel. Seems like a scam to me. read more

While I have always used Clark's Pest Control, here is why. I have an employee that works for the company that goes out of his way to call and schedule my sprayings in advance. He does an excellent job and I hope the company doesn't lose him as an employee. I find their corporate schedule system exasperating, which is the reason I only gave you a lower review. read more

We use Clark both in San Luis and in Lodi for 6 years now. Both Clark locations have the same high and consistent standards. Every technician has been professional, polite, helpful, knowledgeable, ID tags visible, goes the "extra mile", and I feel safe. I'm writing this review because it just amazes me that Jersain (Santa Maria technician for SLO) is using the duster to clean webbing off the roof eaves and windows of my second story home, off the security cameras, etc and the wrought iron fencing at the front of my home! This is the extra mile training these guys get from Clark for our home to look and be bug free!!! Worth the reasonable monthly fee! read more

This is the best company. The technicians are all so nice and very accommodating. Jason has been my recent tech guy and he's so great! He went out of his way to help me. The manager is great too. He takes very good care of all his customers. Thanks Clark Pest Control !! read more

We had our house tented for termites 3 years earlier, but asked a Clark rep to check on conditions. They advised that we had "subterranean termites" and claimed that there were many mud tubes on the walls in our crawlspace. We contracted for Clark to the supposed infestation, but insisted that they provide photos of the mud tubes -- our insurance company warned that some firms lie about termite presence to scare owners into purchasing services. Clark agreed to provide the photos. We had to request the photos numerous times before Clark finally sent some that were completely unidentifiable (see attachments). Each photo was about thumbnail size and very blurry. Clark insisted that's the best they could do. We can't *prove* that Clark lied about the presence of active termites under our house, but it is highly suspicious that they were unable to fulfill the agreement for acceptable images. Our neighbor asked us if we'd recommend Clark, and we said that we would not -- they do not appear to be trustworthy, and it cost us about $2,000. read more

Very friendly folks. I initially asked if I could have a quarterly service and the tech told me no, it had to be every two months. I called and spoke to HQ and they said it was fine. Not sure why the disconnect. We have had them out a few times now over this year and the bugs are well under control aside from the random spider or ear wig, but most of the bug issues are so much better now and I'm glad to have the place sprayed. They work well with our dog and have always been nice in person and on the phone. read more

Wow! Glenn is fantastic! He took the time to explain my situation clearly and concisely. Then he came back when needed so felt very, very strong collaboration through the whole process. Outstanding service at incredible value! I highly recommend Glenn and the Clark Pest Control team. Thanks again! read more

Glenn Phillips is a great technician! Thank you for your service Glenn!Glenn was on time, efficient and had great customer service!

Bad customer service. Called to complain three times never got a call back. My fourth phone call I was put on hold for several minutes then hung up on. After the first few visits I complained to Austin the service technician but he convinced to give it a few months to see results. No Results appeared. The spider and ant situation seemed to be same or even worse. All it didn't seem to agitate the ants and have them surface. I work out of my home and I believe we were getting billed for services or visits that never happened. read more

This place is great. I am totally satisfied with the courtesy and professionalism of my experience. Technician Jesse came to my house to help with our ant and spider issue, he answered all my questions and did the job very effectively. Its only been a few days and the ants are gone!

After my 2 star review, I was contacted by the company 6-7 weeks ago promising to get back in touch with me and address my concerns. I was never contacted. They have a satisfaction guarantee -- however, I am not satisfied and want my money back. Avoid! read more

The general consensus of most Orcutt residents, at least in our neighborhood, is that our town is one big ant hill . . . I concur. We had a small ant problem immediately after we moved into our newly constructed home. We were also aware that Black Widows and other nefarious creatures sought refuge in the nooks and crannies of neighborhood homes, so we asked around and settled on Clark. Kudos to our friends who steered us their way . . . Initial treatment rid us of the ants, and in the years since, periods of hot weather, rains, and the detritus of food crumbs that find their way into the house's nooks and crannies have witnessed only a rare return of these pests, thanks to a consistent schedule of treatments. Black widow condominiums? Not in our yard! We even signed up for Clark's lawn service (yup, they fertilize lawns, too), and we always have the greenest and weed-free yard on our street. Lastly, a shout out to our Clark rep, Mike Cota! Mike is friendly, knows his business, and is professional/reliable . . . we're fans!! Cheers! RS read more

A neighbor Cut down a Pinetree. We've had rodent infestation for the past year. Clark has not been able to get rid of the pests. I can't use my garage. Had to rent a storage. Can't use my kitchen and our closets keep getting pest. I clean droppings regularly. Clark has not caught 1 in months!!! I'm freaking out!!!! read more

I paid over $7000 up front for ground squirrel eradication. The technician is great, the office is terrible. After a year now they tell me I owe more money for 2020 which is not true. I paid the outrageous 560 for this month and what did they do? Applied it to March of last year. I'm canceling tomorrow. read more

We're newer customers and so far we're less than thrilled with this company. When we signed up the girl at the office took my credit card info to run the first payment, well she never did and at first I didn't even pay attention because I only check my cc statement once a month. Anyways, she called a month later when they were going to start running my monthly payments because she didnt have my card number. So then they had to charge me a larger chunk because they never proceeded the first payment. So the guy did our first spray and decob for spiders. He missed several places when decobbing! I hadn't heard from them for almost a month so call yesterday to see when someone was coming out they had no idea because the main guy for my area hurt himself. Daniel was able to schedule someone to come out yesterday...hahahahha NOT!!! We were schedule for 11 and no one showed up! I called at 7pm and they said I was never on the schedule! Wow! The woman I spoke with said she would have someone come out today, which she did, but when he showed up he had no idea she had scheduled him, he said he scheduled me. So idk TERRIBLE communication and follow through! Hopefully itll get better since I'm locked in for a year! read more

I was not happy with the service I received from the different men involved in my latest service. I called to check out possible mice in my crawl space. Service manager said I had mice, after over $1200 spent to close up any open areas, I didn't have mice. Service men never actually went under house to see actual signs of mice. There were 3 different Managers so never figured out which one I needed to deal with. They wouldn't do anything unless I signed up for a monthly spraying contract. Which I didn't need. read more

Not a trustworthy service. Technician lied about performing monthly service. Was charged for service when we know the technician could not enter the backyard to perform the service because we keep the gate padlocked. read more

I'm not sure what I've been paying for. Pretty much nothing it seems. I would strongly recommend you seek out a different company for your business. Signed up for the year plan because we had spiders and ants around. They barely ever come through. We still have spiders and ants around. When I call and tell them we still have spiders and ants around, a disgruntled tech will show up and do pretty much nothing. Still spiders and ants around. Luckily the year contract is almost over and I will be free of them for good. Don't waste your money with Clark Pest Control in Santa Maria. read more

Clark subcontractor failed to secure my house during fumigation resulting in breaking and entering and burglary . They are refusing to accept responsibility. Their disclaimer says not responsible for burglary but says nothing about not responsible, if they follow procedures. Would not recommend them. The one star is for Carpentry team that did repairs prior to fumigation. They did an excellent job. JoAnn Terrones. read more

I Called Clarks pest control to resolve an issue we had on our rental property, one of their reps showed up to our place trying to sell more to us then what we actually wanted. After negotiating what we needed to get done we Over Paid (Mike) to patch a hole behind the stove and behind our water heater. I could've done this work myself for a fraction of what he charged me $400, I was just limited with time do to work and the process of moving and my wife being 8 months pregnant I decided just pay Mike and get the problem resolved. BAD IDEA!!! He patched half of the hole behind the stove, like really what company hires people to do such half ass work and over charge. One thing to over charge and have the work done right but what Mike work looked like was a joke. I wouldn't recommend his services from Clarks pest control. Let's see how the company handles our issue and hopefully sends someone else out to fix the problem. read more

The gentleman who did my termite inspection was very friendly and professional. He was also very efficient and completed the inspection in a timely manner. read more

I had Clark Pest Control do a termite inspection because my house was in escrow & I couldn't reach Story who had tented my house 5 years ago. Their inspector said I had termites in the attic & quoted me $2300 to tent it. He also said he found a leak in the attic which was an incidental finding but went into his report. So I finally reached Story & the owner came out & said there was no active infestation-it was the spot they had tented for 5 years ago. But the worst issue was the leak the lender picked up on. I had one roofer quote me $22,000 to reroof even though he couldn't find the reported leak. The next two roofers couldn't find any evidence of a leak either so they certified it. Bottom line-if I had gone with Clark Pest Control it would have cost me over $25,000! Instead the buyers & I spent a lot of useless hours trying to get the ridiculous report undone but in the end spent $0 for unnecessary repairs!! Never again!!! read more

These guys are Great! We have been battling ants for months now in our brand new house. We finally called Clark for a professional treatment. Our tech (Jerry) has been awesome. We needed a couple "call backs" between the regularly scheduled visits. The response was quick and they don't charge for the call backs. I highly recommend using these guys for a regular maintenance plan. read more

Called Clark pest control due to a fire ant invasion in a home I was renting. After the initial spray I'm told that "the ants will continue to come back every few months" and that I needed to buy a monthly plan. He told me it was going to be $200+ dollars for the one spray or I could do the monthly plan for $50/month for the whole house. Not once in 6 months did they spray inside the house and so I finally called to cancel. Was told I couldn't because of the contract. I told them i no longer needed services and wished to terminate but they would not. Instead I cancelled the payment card. Clark then sent me to collections over $150 (for service they didn't provide) when they broke the contract by not doing the whole home sprays. These guys are crooks and there's better pest control in town. I would avoid using them at all costs. read more

Sorry to say, but seriously: don't waste your time or money with this business. They sell themselves well, however; my experience has been completely disappointing. After being crazy patient and optimistic with Clark Pest, and paying big bucks the whole time. I've experienced weeks long delays due to company vehicles being wrecked, technicians suddenly out for maternity leave and yet, no one is covering their clients?? And the company only confesses to their negligence when I confront them. I understand life and appreciate communication, but this is beyond acceptable business practice. And even with my complaints, I've had very poor follow-thru from the technicians or managers. Sadly absurd, they totally fooled me. I was excited and sure Clark was the right company to solve my gopher, spider, ant etc problems. Months later, I've lost my optimism. I've wasted over a $grand, plus 5 months of valuable time, unneeded aggravation, hope... blah blah But worse yet, the gophers continued to attack so severely in this 5 mo time that my lawn has sunk, my stone patio is cracking and I stepped in one of a million new gopher burrows & twisted my ankle. Xrays and casts and PT and lost time and mobility... So, my point being - if you have a pest issue and you actually want it addressed (effectively and in a timely manner,) I strongly suggest you seek a different service. read more

I used Clark Pest Control for a couple years. They recommended a schedule of every 2 months. I decided to go on a monthly cycle because I have pets and wanted to be vigilant against fleas as well as other bugs. I'm giving 2 stars because like I mentioned I used them for 2 years without a large concern. I noticed one morning that there was cobwebs ALL over my yard. They say they guarantee their work so I called them up to have them review the situation. They had nothing but excuses. Oh when we say guarantee, yada yada yada, and the reason the spiders are all over is the time of year yada yada yada. I cancelled because they don't stand behind their product, plain and simple. read more

Oustanding service at the same price as competitors. We had ants and mice in the house. While another company did a minimum effort to kill the pests, Clark came and did a total inspection, closed any openings where mice could come in and sprayed for ants. Within a week, mice were non existent and the ants were as well. And all the people who came out were very courteous and professional. Give it my highest rating!!! read more

Terrible company! Once again I'm writing a review on terrible customer service. The guy in truck 41 is very rude I can't even deal with this company because of him. Didn't get his name but I didn't even want to use their service after he was so rude to my husband and I. read more

Great service- thorough, professional, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly! I would recommend CLARK to all family and friend!

They spray outside our home every month for spiders, and yet our yard is still infested with them. Don't see how we can have so many spiders when they are spraying and charging us so often. We have even told them about this recurring issue, with no resolution. Seems the only thing they are good for is termite and rodent control, but even then, they don't always check the rat trap each month. Completely dissatisfied with their service. read more

I have used clark twice for my own home for wasps nests we had two years in a row. They are prompt, professional and have excellent customer service. So when my work was having issues with Ants and could not get a hold of another pest company an employee recommended, I called Clark. They answered the phone right away with excellent customer service and Frank came within a half hour to inspect and give us a quote. I highly recommend Clark pest control. read more

I called for an ant/spider problem. They got a technician out the next day. The technician (Derek) was very professional and knowledgeable.

We've been with Clark or over 10 years. They spray our yard for bugs and snails. That's about all we've ever needed. THEN the rat moved in! And he's a tricky little devil. Anthony, the Clark guy, has been trying to catch this little Houdini for over two months... and still pursuing it. He has answered and come by every time we've called him. We really appreciate his patience and consistency in answering when we call. Thanks Anthony! My advice is... become a monthly customer! If we would have had to pay for this "battle" out of pocket, it would have been very costly... yes, just one rat. They're smart! read more
