Destroy Pest Control is hands down the BEST pest control company in the DC/MD area. I requested a free inspection (online) late Sunday evening and received a phone call from the company within minutes. They arranged for a technician to come out and inspect my home the very next day (less then 12hrs later). My technician was "Lee" and he was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC. He went above and beyond just to make me feel comfortable (I am petrified of creatures) by moving and inspecting absolutely everything. read more

Destroy Pest Control came out and took care of a Yellowjacket nest in my chimney. The technician methodically assessed the problem and approached the nest from inside and outside the house. The technician located the nest and used a pesticide to kill them. The technician also stated that I should watch to see if any yellowjackets attempted to come back and if they did, he would return at no charge. read more

Service was untimely, unprofessional, and ultimately ineffective. I called Destroy for a mouse problem. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They showed up a couple of hours after the estimated time window, citing a delay at a previous job.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It happens, not a big deal. They came and sprayed around the outside, plugged some gaps, and set up 3 or 4 bait traps and some sticky traps. This took all of 20 minutes. They talked me into a one year service plan that costs $1484. (I immediately felt I had been strong armed by the technician). He had also said the only way we would resolve the mouse problem was to replace all of the insulation in a part of the house. The cost was $10,000+. I declined their upsell. (A second opinion advised this insulation was unnecessary). The service plan was to come back in a month to reassess the mouse situation and replace traps. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We scheduled the next service with a window of 9 am - 12 pm. I stayed home from work to wait for them. After hearing nothing , I called at 11 am for a status. I was told they were running behind and could not be there until 1 pm[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. That didn't work for me so we rescheduled for the next day from 8am - 11am. I stressed that I was only available until 8:45. They reassured me that I would be the first appointment. (We live about 20 minutes from their office). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The following day, we stayed home again. Heard nothing until 8:26 when the technician said they were running late and could be there after 9.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Frustrated, we adjusted our schedule and waited. The technician showed up reeking of weed. It was apparent the technician had smoked very recently. Perhaps that was part of the reason for the delay. They did the service and left in about 20 minutes. The technician offered to take $50 off for our trouble. Strangely, he Venmo'ed us $25 from his personal account. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I called later to express my concerns. I spoke directly to the owner, Thomas. He was professional and offered to personally come back and take a look at the mouse problem. He said he'd cancel our contract and prorate the money if we wished.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I stressed I had a very short time window and had to leave the house by 8:45. He assured me multiple times that he'd be "in your driveway by 7:30". The next day, after hearing nothing, I called at 8:30. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thomas had forgotten our appointment. He said he could be there in 20 minutes. I reminded him how he quite literally guaranteed that he'd be in our driveway by 7:30. He eventually said "You're right, you got me".[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He agreed to refund us our money for the contract. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To his credit, Thomas heard my complaint with professionalism and was apologetic. His offer to take care of the issue personally at no additional cost was appreciated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had he followed through, we would have likely remained customers. I followed up 3 times over the next 3 weeks. Heard nothing until a month later. They refunded me $935, thereby charging me over $500 for two service appointments that took all of 20-30 minutes each. We still have mice. Edit: to suggest this is fabricated is ridiculous and dishonest. Everything is documented in emails. read more

Fast and quality work, slightly higher prices but very speedy. Same day yellow jackets removal

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Blue and the team at Destroy Pest Control provided excellent customer service and made me feel like they cared about my safety.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They were able to come out quickly. They didn't find a nest or the wasp and thought it was dead. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When it reappeared shortly after they left, Blue booked another appointment for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They came back out and dispatched what turned out to be a bald-faced hornet queen for me. If I ever have another pest control issue, Destroy Pest Control will be my first call. read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED after months of their attempts to get rid of the voles, I still have them. Owner made promises claiming that what sets him apart from the others is "he likes a challenge" and when you hire Destroy Pest we will get him - the owner. Insisted that he knew what to do to get rid of voles..."get rid of the females and the males will follow". [[HIGHLIGHT]]Well ... we didn't get him unless I told him I need to see him.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] His bait only brought in other animals that dug up my yard even more. He shifted his approach thinking it was another pest but nothing he ever did, over the Spring or Summer, yielded real results. He even put a ring camera up but never looked at the footage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Destroy Pest missed multiple appointments, did not respond to many calls or texts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]One positive is that everyone I worked with was friendly and nice but I'm not looking to be their friend.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would have hired them for all my pest needs had they followed through but I'll NEVER call them again. read more

At first, I wasn't going to say anything, but I was just appalled about my experience. I called and spoke with Thomas on Sunday about a wasp nest in my backyard. He was very pleasant and told me to send my address and email as he would be able to come the next day. I sent my information as requested. The next day I hadn't heard from him and had called him around 1045 am. He apologized and told me he had two persons call with the name Sonia on the same day I called. We laughed it off. I understood and he set with me on the phone and sent me the appointment time frame from 11-2 the same day. By 4 pm, he hadn't arrived. I called at 4:05 pm and he answered. He said "did I send the On my way" text. I said "no" and apologized. He said "hold on" and then the phone hung up. I was on the highway and I thought the phone hung because of the reception. Called back and he never answered. Nor did he return my call. I did send a text saying, "Hi Thomas! It appears we are not able to make this happen for some reason. During our last call, your line hung up. I did call you back. I will just seek some other company. I do thank you for your time." I was just shocked because by his actions...it was so unprofessional, unnecessary, and unprompted. read more

We had wasps in the walls in our 106 year old house. They destroyed them with just a teeny hole in our wall.

Came within an hour or two of calling to remove an indoor yellow jacket nest. Local, professional, prompt, and fees in line with other companies that could not come out as quickly. AND they didn't try to sell us a monthly or annual subscription. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Really grateful and pleased with their service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Destroy Pest Control arrived promptly and eliminated the wasp nest in my yard. Everyone I was in contact in was professional.

Prompt, professional evaluation and service. The technician explained what the issue was, treated home, and scheduled retreatment.

I had what I thought was a wasp nest in my attic that had poured out into the hallway of my house! After being attacked by the angry pests, I sent out an SOS call to Blue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was late in the day on a Saturday, and even so she was able to get me on the schedule in less than 2 hours.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Wilian showed up half an hour early (thankfully!) and quickly identified the issue. Not wasps...yellow jackets! He quoted me a fair price for the work, immediately got his gear and the entire situation was resolved in less than 30 minutes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He was kind enough to share videos of the issue, show me how they got in, and shared advice on moving forward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone was incredibly professional and kind. I will certainly be calling again! read more

They are just wonderful, two brothers. fair prices and thoroughly does the job of spraying inside and outside of the house. this time for ants. those nasty little buggers. And I got a contract this time. Very professional and informative. awesome!! read more

Same technician that treated my property last year came back in February because I wanted to get a head start dealing with springtime pests. I recommend this company because the response is consistently quick and professional and the price was reasonable. Most important, NO PESTS!! Thanks, Destroy Pest ControI! read more

Situation: My wife and I are allergic to bees. While cleaning the deck I discovered a small paper-wasp nest under our grill. With guest coming on Sunday we needed it removed the same day, on Saturday. Destroy pest cake out sprayed the nest and removed it for us. Negatives: - It was a little expensive, We were charged $200.00 to remove the rather small nest as shown in the picture. That being said it was same day service - The guy was unable to accept a credit card and I had to go to the ATM to pull out the $200.00 in cash, although he was very apologetic for the inconvenience, it was Saturday and I didn't mind running to pull out cash. - did not respond to request for price quote prior to arriving. Positives: - They arrived on time - Provided same day service on a Saturday. - Total time to remove the nest was less then 5 minutes. Summary: Good company same day service but a little pricy. If it is during the week and you can wait a day or two you can probably find a less expensive alternative. If you need fast service and don't mind paying a premium, they can help. read more

Destroy Pest Control - The wasp nest - Pest Control Near Me - Laurel, Maryland

No more ants! The pest control service was thorough and effective. Problem solved. Thank you!

Lee was great! He did three rounds of treatment and I'm all taken care of. And I have a year long warranty on it.

Mr. Thompson at Destroy Pest is a dedicated professional, thoughtful and conscientious. On the first visit, he examined the exterior and interior carefully before making his recommendations for treatments (we had an annual ant invasion). Since beginning the service, no more ants! In an age when many services over-promise and under-deliver, he has been straightforward in keeping to the schedule, listening to any concerns, and providing options and superior service. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! read more

They came to spray my apartment with Fleas. Darryl was in and out in no time and gave clear after treatment instructions as well. They have been responsive when I have lingering questions. They'll come back in two weeks for the final treatment and I'm hoping to update my review then to give stars! read more

Owner stepped in; making things right which I respect. Looking forward to the issue being resolved very soon.

Would highly recommend Destroy Pest Control. DJ came out for a free quote. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I booked with them the next day and they were able to come out quickly. read more

A different pest company had supposedly figured out how a rat was entering my house and sealed off the entry point. The rat came back, and the owner of that company said he couldn't figure out how it was getting in. I didn't find that answer acceptable, so called Destroy Pest Control. Within five minutes of stepping foot in my house, Lee from Destroy figured out how the rat was entering and showed me the confirmation. He also was incredibly kind and patient with me (I am super pregnant, have a toddler, and hate rodents) while he explained my options and his recommendation. I can't recommend Lee enough! read more

The service we received was satisfactory but they REALLY need to fix their scheduling system. The first appoint we had, the tech was almost 3 hours late. They scheduled us for a follow up appointment on Labor Day and told us we would need to empty our cabinets, which we did. Turns out they weren't actually open on Labor Day so we waited all day and no one ever came. Ultimately, they ended up not coming until 2 days later, so we just had to deal with our belongings sitting everywhere since we had emptied our cabinets. read more

The tech arrived as scheduled and he was very courteous and professional when he provided the service we ordered. We have not had any further issues since they came out to the house. read more

January 2019 we had mice. We live in the woods so it was bound to happen. We called Destroy Pest Control. Within 2 visits, they had taken care of the problem. They set traps, did a thorough review of our property, and plugged up any and all holes that could have contributed to the problem. They were always on time and taught us alot along the way. For instance, when we were having our kitchen remodeled, I located a hole behind the stove and plugged it just as I was taught. When the kitchen remodel included additional plumbing under the sink and installing a new dishwasher, I was certain to make sure all of the steelwool around the piping and tubing was in place. We haven't seen evidence of mouse activity since.Their prices are reasonable for the high-quality expertise and responsive customer service. Excellent work! Thanks, DPC! read more

Destroy Pest Control did not show for appointment. I waited an hour for them before leaving. No communication saying they were late, not coming or to reschedule. Will not be using them again, nor recommending them to others. Update - Destroy Pests contacted me and made this right. Service was prompt and professional. I updated to 4 stars. read more

I needed them to get rid of termites and other pests in my home. They did the job right and I was able to sell my house for top dollar.

We paid in advance for an annual commercial contract. They came a couple times for the monthly visit, then stopped coming. We called them and they came back in once. Then they stopped coming again and didn't return phone calls or texts. read more

I called Destroy with concerns that we might have bed bugs. I was very impressed when I spoke with Al, who was able to schedule a technician to come out even though we are out near Dulles in VA. However, the technician who came out (Daryl, I think) didn't really do much of an inspection at all. I eventually found out that we don't even have bed bugs, we have carpet beetles. I showed him bags and bags of the bugs that we caught, and he failed to inform me that they weren't bed bugs. He also failed to inform me that he didn't see any signs of bed bugs in our mattresses or elsewhere in the house. Instead, he gave us a quote that it would cost over $3,000 to treat our house for bed bugs, when it typically costs only $100 - $200 to treat carpet beetles. That's pretty dishonest. read more

Observed company van on the road near my home and decided to contact them regarding mole eradication. The initial visit went well. Thomas was very timely, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and customer focused. Comparing prices and reading reviews...I'm impressed and we'll see how it goes. read more

Totally reliable and thorough! Helped me solve woodpecker problem and control bees. Friendly.

Will came out to service our business. He was very prompt and considerate. He was not pushy about signing the annual contract which I wanted to do anyhow. Excellent service! read more

Small company with big results. I called Destroy Pest Control to deal with hoards of ants that were attempting to take over my house. Their pricing was beyond reasonable and the technician was friendly and professional. Unlike other companies that just wanted to quickly spray and get me into a contract, Destroy fully assessed the situation and took a two step bait/spray approach that has worked great so far. read more

EXCELLENT and FAST service!! Mr. Lee took the time to go through my whole house, explaining everything in detail about what was causing the problem and then took the time to explain what could be done and how it would be done and how long it would take. Extremely impressed by his professionalism and patience. He definitely took all my worries away and put my mind at ease. It's not every time one receives such GREAT service! The world would surely be a better place if everyone conducted business like Mr. Lee. Thank you sooo much. Extremely grateful! I will be recommending you guys to everyone I know. Thanks again. read more

Great Service. Seems like after entering pests are found dead or dying! Mr. Thompson did a fantastic job and made sure that I understood the process. Rates for service were budget friendly and I will do an annual service with the company. Good Job! read more

Thomas never completed the work. He said treatments would work but I still have bugs inside my house. He applied treatments two times on different occasions but treatments never worked. He said he would follow up via telephone regarding each treatment but he never called. when I called regarding all follow ups he said he would stop by but he was always and always had an excuse for showing up late. He never called to say that he was running late, NEVER. For the last treatment, he never called. So I called and he gave me two excuses and said he would call when he was on his way. Needless to say, he never called and he never showed up for the last treatment. Overall, Thomas was ALWAY late, NEVER called to say that he would be late, never apologize for being late, never returned any of my phone calls, never treated my house. Most important, he never showed up for the last treatment. I still have insects in my house even though he applied two treatments on two separate occasions. Extremely unprofessional in all areas. read more
