Alma N.

Had our house fumigated (for termites) this past week. Out of the different exterminators that gave us estimates, Green Flash was the most reasonable. From the start, we had very good communication with the office staff (thank you Wendy) and they answered every question in a very professional way. Once it was determined that we had termites and needed to fumigate, we opted to have our house tented. We were given lots of special bags with detailed instructions on how to pack items safely. We then moved into a hotel for a couple of days and had the technicians tent our house. It's a nervous feeling leaving our house to strangers but they did a great job. They left a note telling us when we could safely return. We recommend Green Flash if you are looking for an extermination company. Good communication and very professional.

I used this from Amazon -organic and safe.

I gave them a five star on the other review, but that Green Flash Pest Control page is locked up. Can't get to it. Had to start a new one. I didn't have a review for the first time (when they didn't go away at all) because they were coming back to make good. I wanted to give them a chance. The second time got the five star review (because went away for a few days). First time was meh, I called them immediately and said the ants were back. The woman on the phone said I'd have to give them more time. Then they scheduled me when my "warrantee" was nearly up. There were ants coming in from everywhere...they just sprayed. They didn't track the ants back to their nests. A few days after the second time, I called and the woman who answered the phone, who isn't pleasant (the kind of place you really don't want to call back) said, This was a one time thing, this wasn't an ongoing contract! What! I told her it never took. She told me it was the heat. When I first called, she said, It's because of the heat, we'll take care of those ants. Well, it didn't take. This photo is the ants on my counter three days after they sprayed twice. I sprayed them with organic olive oil pan spray to kill them on the spot. I got the Green Flash organic spray service twice. They were done in around 18, maybe 20 minutes. My house has a large footprint and several terrains. I asked the first guy what kind of ants they were, he said they were pavement ants. Well, I looked it up, pavement ants are most active at night. All my attacks are during the day. The third time I called, she was so nasty, I asked her to have the manager call me. Never a call back. I'd told her I had given them five stars, and if they wanted to keep that rating they needed to make good. Then, their review page was down. Does Yelp do this kind of thing when a bad review is coming? That's not right. It seems as though they know their organic product does not work. I am calling Visa and telling them to get back my money. Did not work! At all! All this took about a bit more than a week. It would have taken less time if she would have put it the repeat order sooner, she said it took four days to see if it worked. I've never heard that from the other ant company - it starts to work immediately. Four days? The first guy didn't listen too well. I asked him to call me and not come up the stairs until I came out. I was wrangling the dogs into the bedroom, so it took a minute. Then he banged on the kitchen window (upstairs). I went out and he said he called and he was done! I had frogs upstairs on the deck, and'd I told him to wait for a reason. Well two of my frogs who must have gotten hit with the stuff under the floor boards. They never came back. They've lived here for three years and have never gone away, even with the organic ant service from somewhere else. That company was slammed and couldn't come soon enough. I should have waited, thinking one exterminator is like another is not a sure bet, at all. Apparently they have two guys working Ramona and surrounding areas (the place is in Vista). So, they go around your house as quickly as possible. I have cameras all around the house and watched afterward (I wish you could post movies here), they missed a lot and didn't really look around for any ant nests. No, don't call them. Just keep looking for somewhere else. Their organic spray doesn't even have the smell of peppermint or anything. Doesn't work. Don't waste your time. Don't waste your money. I found this organic boric acid on Amazon, harmless and organic. Found the ant nest - the ants were going there straight from the house. Didn't take much effort to find it - and put a teaspoon in. And that was that - no more ants. I took care of the before the weather started cooling off. BOOM! All gone. Nice guys, but their organic spray and methods didn't work...twice. I was going to give them two stars for effort, but the woman in the office - her attitude steered me away from that. The organic product doesn't seem to work, and that is a big issue.

Very nice, thorough, & honest guy. Give him a call!

See all

We recently hired CaliCo to install bird netting to prevent mud swallows from nesting around our…read morehome, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. We received several comparable bids, but what ultimately set CaliCo apart was their exceptional customer service. From the very beginning, they took the time to thoroughly educate us about the bird netting product, the installation process, the swallows' nesting habits, and what we could realistically expect moving forward. I had countless questions, and they were incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the entire process. Every message was answered promptly, and communication was excellent from start to finish. The installation itself was done with an impressive level of care and attention to detail. The crew was meticulous about cleanup, making sure no debris or hardware pieces were left behind, which was especially important to us because we have both a young child and a dog. They even went above and beyond by offering to paint an area where some hardware was visible and touched up a small section of stucco so everything blended seamlessly. For a project that isn't necessarily something you're excited to spend money on, it makes a huge difference to work with a company that makes you feel confident and cared for every step of the way. CaliCo did exactly that. We've also used them for ant control both before and after this project and have had great results each time. Their professionalism, expertise, responsiveness, and genuine commitment to customer satisfaction have made them our go-to pest control company. We highly recommend CaliCo to anyone looking for pest control services or bird exclusion work. They truly went above and beyond.

After putting in a message for pest control companies to message us for inspection and quote Calico…read morewas unable to provide availability and instead sair "we're booked at this time", it would be beneficial for the company respond in a way that let a potential customer know that their business was valued and desired. Apparently the company is "booked at this time" with no availability for quotes in the foreseeable future. Update: After I posted an initial 3 star review providing feedback the company began unsolicited calls to my mother pushing her to change the review. I/we don't appreciate the unsolicited calls and pressure to change a review; I don't think I would pursue this company in the future.
