These folks are awesome! After having a couple companies come to my home for an estimate, I went with Don's as it is family owned and operated, is local, and their pricing was very good. I spoke on a couple occasions with Janeal who was super nice and helpful and Patrick came to my house to deal with critter control. Patrick was informative, friendly, and got along very well with my dogs. For now, the issues seem to have abated but I was told if I hear or see anything, give them a call. I highly recommend Don's Drop Dead Pest Control! read more

Absolutely the best team to keep the rodents and bugs away. They clean the spider webs to see where new webs are formed and identify problem areas == but I love that they remove the webs, period! Don's does a through job of keeping everything in balance, and they provide the best customer service. I've been a happy client for 10+ years. read more

Teddy is the best! He came over very quickly and took his time explaining things to me . They are great! I highly recommend!!

After years of having mice/rats/raccoon issues in my basement (only during the winter months), I finally had it. I searched through my local FB groups for recommendations. There are so many pest control companies out there that it was truly mind-blowing to pick 3 to come give me estimates. 2 of the companies I found through that FB group were going to charge me over $100 to come out for an estimate that would be applied to the future service cost(s). Researched their very well designed websites, offering all these different pest control and deterrent methods, etc. Don's Drop Dead Pest Control didn't have any website that I could find. They don't do any advertising or marketing. In this day & age, that's impossible! But it's for real! They do amazing business solely from word-of-mouth recommendations and referrals. The front office admin is friendly, helpful, and so pleasant. She did her best to make the appointment for me and my next-door neighbor so they were back-to-back. Tim, our technician, worked on the neighbor's house first and then called me to let me know he was ready to check my house. I raced home from work, and he patiently waited for me. He took his time thoroughly inspecting my basement, roof, garage, and attic. He found the entry points, explained in detail what he thought would be best. He gave me a printed estimate he typed up in his truck, and I agreed to the estimated price. Tim immediately got to work, closing up the entry points, setting baits (no poison), and told me he would be back in 1 month to see if there are new activities in those problem areas. I asked him how much I owed today, to which he replied the office would bill me later. How about a deposit? Nope, nothing. Tim even gave my barking dog a doggy treat he carries in his truck for his own dog! Doggo was cautious, but ate that treat right up! One month later, Tim came back to check on everything. Found no new activity! Barely took an hour, and I received a bill about 2 weeks later for the amount he quoted. He said it could be more depending on the 2nd visit and if he needed to set up more bait, etc. Don's Drop Dead Pest Control is a locally owned company and treats their customers like we're their neighbors. Very helpful, friendly, respectful of my property/house, thorough. Now, I wish I had called them years ago!! If you're on the fence about the different pest control companies and high costs, just stop wasting your time & call Don's. I will never use any of those other big-name companies ever again!! read more

The company is professional, friendly, thorough, affordable. What more can you ask for?

Hands down the best, most trustworthy pest control company I've ever used. We had a minor rat issue in our attic and went through 2 other pest control companies who let the issue grow to where we now have damage to our HVAC ducting. If we had used Don's from the beginning it would've prevented a lot of headaches. I couldn't believe the difference in their initial inspection compared to anyone else who had come out. Everyone else spent max 10 minutes and Patrick was here for almost 2 hours checking every nook and cranny for entry points, and explained the whole process to me. Now I also use them for all general quarterly pest control services, and somehow in total it was still more affordable than other estimates we'd gotten. Everyone I've dealt with there have been so clearly honest and kind folks. Honestly can't recommend enough! read more

I've not been asked to leave a review like a lot of businesses tend to do, but I'm compelled to do so after their third visit today. Their technicians are always here for a good length of time and treat all over the yard, not just the immediate perimeter of the house. The previous company I used would spray around the immediate perimeter which would take all of about 2 minutes and then they'd leave. Not Don's Drop Dead. I'm so impressed with their service and how thorough they are every time. And their service does what it's supposed to do, keep pests away. I get quarterly service and it's perfect. read more

This spring I had a rodent problem in the garage and maybe the attic. I decided to check Nextdoor to see what pest control my neighbors recommend. There were the usual big companies that were mentioned and I had two of them come out. Someone also mentioned Don's Drop Dead Pest Control. Admittedly I didn't call them at first because it's an odd name for a company. When the first two came out they stated the same exact thing that I had a big problem and it would cost $X to do the job. Couldn't really tell one from another. By coincidence or not, they both had the exact same price and number of fixes they were going to do. Seemed a little odd but maybe that's the going rate. I wanted another quote and decided to call Don's to see if it's the area I lived in that is causing the price to go so high or what. The technician (I don't name people or businesses in my reviews) came out and did his analysis and the number of fixes was a little more than the others. I though it was a way to charge more. But their methods of ridding rodents is different than the others and they only needed to come out twice and they had the same guarantee. But the price was so much lower than the others so I figured this way I'm might be the "amateur" way so was skeptical. By chance my neighbor happened to be walking his dog and said to me that this company helped him out before and it was so quick and effective that he recommends them. We decided to go with them and really be picky if we hear anything during the guarantee period. The technician was at my house way longer than he anticipated but he did fixes and covered all the areas he said he would. I even asked him about a hole in the garage and he said he can just fix that as well. It is now past the guarantee period and we have not heard a thing or seen any evidence of any critters since then. He did a great job and I can't say enough how much I recommend their services. I'm only sorry I doubted them in the first place. Please at least let them give you an estimate on your problem and let them tell you how they control the problem. They are worth it. read more

I've used Don's twice now - both times for ants. Both times, I saw a large number of ants outside my house in a steady stream. I was concerned about them coming into the house, so I called Don's on the recommendation of a good friend who had also used them, with success. The first time, about 3 years ago, they treated and the ants didn't come back. This time, they came out, treated, and the ants came inside the house instead of just being outside. Not an improvement. I called them back and they came back out the same day - making sure to squeeze me in (which I really appreciate!). So far, so good! No more ants inside - or outside. I would highly recommend them (and have)! read more

Patrick did a pest inspection for our home. His assessment was thorough and honest: no rodent activity therefore rodent control is not necessary unless I want to do it preemptively. If I do have a real pest control issue, I'll definitely have Don's company take care of it. Hats off to Patrick! read more

I have a 12-unit rental property in converted industrial buildings. Drop Dead was recommended to me in 2017, and they have been providing me with excellent service ever since for pest control. My service rep, Teddy, is quite knowledgeable about "his targets" and up to date on the safest eradication. Equally important is the courteous manner and terrific response I receive from Joni in the office and Teddy in the field. FIVE STARS! read more

Great value, and they aren't satisfied if you aren't satisfied. Couldn't recommend any more highly.

STOP YOUR BUG/PEST SEARCH HERE and call Don's! Before calling Don's, I called another pest control company and, without even coming out to do an inspection, they recommended that we spray pesticide indoors/outdoors and vacate the premises for 24 hours. Not only would this have been inconvenient and extremely costly ($500), but spraying pesticides before even diagnosing the problem seems pretty brash and a little irresponsible. Contrary to that first experience, when I called Don's, the scheduling assistant or manager (Joanie) sent someone out same day for a FREE INSPECTION. The inspector (Tim) was so friendly, professional, and a pest EXPERT! He thoroughly inspected the premises with a flashlight and magnifying glass to diagnose the problem. He spent over an hour inspecting our place thoroughly and explaining to us what he was looking for. While he easily could have upsold us on a costly treatment, he informed us that we should be able to take care of the problem on our own with some thorough vacuuming and standard household cleaners. He reassured us that if this doesn't fix the problem, then he will come back out and try something else. BOTTOM LINE: Don's pest control is honest, thorough, professional, and responsive...all things you want when suffering from a bug/pest anxiety attack. I will be keeping them on "speed dial" for our next insect/pest problem (which hopefully won't be anytime soon). Thank you, Joanie and Tim!!! read more

Don's Drop Dead Pest Control is THE best pest control company in LA. I'm sure of that. I've had several of the typical corporate type pest companies out to my property trying to mitigate a bug problem, but when Don's Drop Dead Pest Control came out to do service, everything changed, the bugs went away finally. I highly recommend them. They know bugs. They are honest, smart and fair. read more

Best Pest Control service in the San Gabriel Valley! Very knowledgeable and helpful. If you want an explanation, they are willing to share. But if you just want them to kill the pesky pests, they do a great job at that! read more

I live in an apartment that recently had an inspection, and Don's came out and was SO quick, easy, and informative! I feel better prepared against pest issues in the future. read more

Teddy is great and super helpful. Highly recommend this for anyone dealing with pests

There hasn't been a problem that we have encountered that didn't t resolved between my home - on a hillside with lots of fruit trees a d my clients properties all over the San Fernando Valley that Teddy or Don couldn't solve reasonably! They even work with my tough clients who have restrictions on how they do their job. I highly recommend! read more

They are excellent. Very caring, reputable and effective. They come monthly and spray for insects.

The team at Don's Drop Dead Pest Control is amazing. They give wonderful service which is comprehensive. The recommendations that technician Teddy have given me have been well thought though and spot on. We have had quarterly contracted service with them for several years. On the last visit, Teddy detected a gas leak on our property which litterly could have saved lives. This company is honest, hard working, professional and they give personal service. read more

I was referred to Don by me neighbor and emailed them late in the evening on a Sunday. I received a follow up call from Jonnie first thing Monday morning and they scheduled Tim to come by for an inspection. Tim came by and was extremely helpful and provided a ton of detail which really helped me understand our pest problem. Tim provided a full write up of the issue and even recommended that we contact our HOA to see if they can help. The level of honesty was very much appreciated, I'll definitely be using Don's services for all future pest control needs. read more

The service and time frames are unbeatable. This is a family run business that takes you in and makes you feel that way. They beat out the most competitive prices around and have earned my business. I will be using and recommending to anyone in need of pest control to call Don's Drop Dead Pest Control. read more

We have used this company for over six years, and my mother and my aunt used Don for years before that. Very reliable, very effective company, as nice as can be, and very responsible. They also know we have small boys and cats so they use safe products around the house that effectively keep all ants away and many other pests. We have spiders occasionally but... live in Altadena with many many trees around and fauna so that is not a surprise. At any rate this company is worth their weight in gold ! read more

I called a few places as we have an ant problem. Don's grandson came over on time on the day of the appointment and gave us a very competitive rate - lowest we had! The work was done the very same day and so far, we've not had any 'visitors'! Totally recommend them - prompt and professional service! read more

This company is awesome! We had another company come out the last several months with no results. After Don's first visit, the issue was resolved. Ask for Teddy - he's great read more

They came to help with the eviction of several new roomates who had moved in after my cat died. You know, the gray ones with cute little ears & long tails. l didn't mind them so much, but since l rent l didn't want the little critters chewing through any electrical wires & the like. Don's was prompt, courteous, & explained thoroughly what they use & the process. No more patter of little feet on my ceiling! I highly recommend them. And, since l'm having knee problems, he even offered to help with anything else l needed done ~ he took my recycling bag out for me!! read more

Don himself came out and took care of several wasp nests on our house. He was an 30 minutes early to his estimated arrival which was great! He is so friendly and got the job done quick. He was lovely to chat with and very knowledgeable about the wasps. Will definitely use him again for the next bug issue. Absolutely worth a call to them to get rid of your problem. read more

Don's Drop Dead was able to schedule John to come to my rental property within 2 days of my request. Weather was been in the low to mid 90's. I was given a "window of time" that he would arrive. He was there at exactly 8:30 a.m. He was very cool and calm in explaining to me and the tenant that, "yes, there are roaches." He explained the process of eliminating them in the inside and outside of the house. He is also going to set us up for periodic inspections throughout the year. I would highly recommend this company! read more

They are excellent! Friendly and professional! I had them come over to get rid of some ants that wouldn't go away. I have not seen a single one since! I will definitely have them come out annually to keep them from coming inside the house! Thank you! read more

We have used them for years. They call every 6 months to remind us it's time to come back and we've never had ant, spider or any bug problems. read more

Great family business. Prompt and professional. Love this company - would highly recommend!

Super friendly and on time! So far no more ants at my house! Fair prices and no commitment to a contract

The team is great!! Very friendly and professional. Sprayed for ants twice in about 16 months...never had ants in the house again.

Great pest control service. John just finished our 6 month service visit: excellent work. Moved the outdoor dog bed so it wouldn't get contaminated, dusted all the eves and siding where spiders nest. Left very clear safety instructions too. All I can say is wow! After using other services, I'd never use anyone else. This is the company to call first. read more

We've been using Don's Drop Dead Pest Control since for about 10 years. A friend recommended them and between the head's up and the perfect name of the company we tried them. This group has the best business attitude. They are there when they say they'll be. They listen to your problems and they explain their approach. They follow through and will return if necessary. Don Teddy and John are all friendly and personable. I came rather quickly to see them as friends. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. read more

I tried battling some very persistent ants on my own, but clearly they were winning. This family-owned business was referred to me by a neighbor on nextdoor.com. Don returned my calls promptly and I got an appointment quickly. Teddy came to do the service. He was very polite and knowledgeable I will happily call them again when the need arises. The price was reasonable and I was not asked to sign a contract. This company gets an A+ for being prompt, polite, knowledgeable and fairly priced. read more

Great family owned company. Competitive pricing. Outstanding customer service. Used them for rat problem. Excellent job. Would use again and highly recommend. read more

We used Don's Drop Dead Pest Control to get rid of a huge infestation of ants that have been roaming the kitchen and laundry area for far too long. The rep was on time, courteous, knowledgeable and efficient, and the cost was very reasonable. He found several nests and treated them with a spray outside as well as putting a bait (a little bit of gel) in small places inside that the ants will take back to the nest to help kill the rest. We are anxious to see results very quickly. read more

Teddy and Don are trust worthy professionals who take great pride in their work. They are a wealth of knowledge and always on top of the latest- most family friendly and green products. After a thorough inspection they pinpointed the issues related to an infestation at my home and resolved my issues long term. I highly recommend this outstanding company. read more

After two years of working with Don and John, we'd never consider another service. These guys are knowledgable, reasonably priced, and very friendly! read more
