We have used Hi-Tech years ago, and were very satisfied. We contacted Hi-Tech when we recently noticed sawdust collecting in our sun-room. After a quick chat, and a quick picture of the sawdust, Hi-Tech quickly responded and advised that it's not termites, but carpenter ants or bees, and that we needed general pest control instead. Very friendly and helpful folk! read more

Most thorough during the inspection process, identifying two types Of termites on my property. The inspector and the technician, Rene, were Both very knowledgeable and took the time to show me the areas of infestation. They arrived on time, were efficient, pleasant and respectful of my home. Their Three-year warranty will allow me to have my home checked annually for termites. I also like they are Diamond certified. Thank you for your great care! read more

People like vendors who are reliable. We formally scheduled appointments with this vendor, requiring my spouse to leave work early, drive 1 hour through traffic to meet Hi Tech Termite. They gave some flimsy excuse that they had it scheduled wrong on their calendar. The 2nd time, they showed up 2 hours before the rescheduled appointment. The 3rd time, they cancelled the appointment. The 4th time, someone called in sick. In other words, this company is super flaky and completely unreliable. If this is how they operate just on appointments, can you imagine how diligent they are in doing their work? Definitely a hard pass unless you're okay with super flaky vendors. I encourage others to read through the reviews to see that this company has acute time, scheduling and communication management deficiencies, which are part of what you can expect from their substandard level of customer service. I cannot speak for the actual inspection work they do perform, when they can actually show up for a job, but I'd recommend going through several pages of reviews. There are a lot of unsatisfied customers with the inspection work that Hi Tech Termite performs. Thankfully, we'll use another vendor that knows how to keep an appointment. And, yes, JEFF, I am 100% certain that Hi Tech Termite stood us up 4 times!!!!! read more

Hi-Tech Termite Control company just finished a fumigation at my home. This service is absolutely superior in all ways to 3 other companies that gave me estimates. They performed the most comprehensive inspection, had the most competitive price and had the most knowledgeable contact representative--Ben. Everyone at Hi-Tech made me feel comfortable dealing with this stressful experience. Thanks to everyone for a job well done. read more

HiTech Termite Control is great! The inspector Miguel was very thorough, looking indoors (including our attic) and outdoors for signs of termites. He caught signs of subterranean termites that our home inspection missed when we purchased the property. He explained everything to us and answered all our questions. The inspection was free. The rates for treatment were reasonable, and we scheduled it during the inspection. Fortunately the termite infestations were at an early stage so we did not have to fumigate, it was all locally treated. The crew arrived on time and it took about 3 hours to treat everything. There's a 3 year warranty that includes free annual inspections, so we are planning to get our free inspection annually to ensure no termites come back. read more

My deck has been rotting, or so I thought until my in-laws were visiting and said it's termites. Yikes! After intensive Yelp research, called Hi-Tech and scheduled a free consultation. They came out on time and very quickly assured me that the issue is dry rot and not termites. Honest, efficient, easy to work with and very professional. Love it when I find great companies through Yelp! read more

We have a slate roof which rules out fumigation so I went with Hi-Tech because they specialize in local treatment. Miguel was our inspector and then Tyrone, Rene and Steve came out to do the treatment. The guys are professionals, very knowledgeable and very nice. Two things that they did that were outstanding: 1) they helped me remove some dead mice in the crawl space for no extra charge and 2) they came back for a second treatment visit to spray my attic to help me keep my carpets clean. These guys are great!! read more

OUTSTANDING SERVICE I just had excellent termite service by Cory at Hi Tech Termite Control. I previously had been using a big name Termite company with whom I had a service contract for about 25 years. Over the years, I noticed their service became less thorough. On their latest quick 20 minute inspection of a 4,000 square foot house they found no termites. I knew of one infestation that was easy to see and was amazed the big name company missed it. A visit to Yelp told me my termite service company was one of the lowest rated in San Diego. I contacted Hi Tech because of their high Yelp rating. Steve came out an found a couple of termite infestations. We cancelled our previous contract and had Hi Tech come out to kill the termites. Cory has just spent the day meticulously treating the various termite infestations with both chemicals and microwave. He also sprayed our attic with borate to guard against future infestations. I am a scientist and I was impressed with Cory's attention to detail, the care he took to keep our home clean, and his patience and knowledge answering my many questions. Hi Tech's service is far and away better, more through, and more knowledgeable than the big name Termite company ever was. I will definitely use Hi Tech in the future and highly recommend their service. read more

Jim was nice to work with. Told me I would have termite treatment and preventive treatment.

I'm going to live this review here and maybe this will prompt someone to call me back. I have been trying to schedule for service for several weeks now. No one answers the phone or returns my calls. I'm really close to cancelling my subscription. read more

I called Hi Tech today because there were some dead insects on the motion detector light in the front yard and we thought those were termites. The lady who answered the call told me not to worry because the termites always swarm on the lights around this time. She said she does not want me to pay for something I don't need. It was very nice of her to tell me that. read more

This company drilled holes into our main water pipe! They are refusing to accept responsibility and to pay for the repairs of the damage they caused. We have hired an attorney and following up to have their insurance pay for the problem they caused. The worker they sent is inexperienced and has only been on the job less than 3 months. They are not good company to work with. If you value your property and time, don't go with this company! read more

Excellent service. Benjamin came by this morning to inspect our bug issue. He was on time and courtesy. Although the bugs were not termites, he provided us with recommendations on treating the bugs. No foot prints left on the carpet, just a great advices and professionalism. read more

We set an appointment for them to inspect for termites and give us an estimate for renting. Our renter gave his permission and vacated the house. My wife took off work and waited at the house. And no one showed up. When I called to find out what had happened it took Winnie a while to find me in the system and then she told me our appointment had been cancelled. What poor customer service. read more

This is an A+ business. When I first called them years ago they came out pretty fast. Had a very nice man explain everything to me in detail and sent out a crew to fumigate. I haven't seen a bug since. Like i said that was years ago. I called to see about a recheck. I lost all my paper work but all i had to do was call. She was amazing... with out the interrogation of information (like most other businesses) she was already looking up my paper work and told me yes you are due for a reinspect and set it up within a few days. I haven't seen customer service like this in so long in addition to how well their service has worked. They gave me what i needed without adding on charges and stuff that i did not. read more

Avoid them at all cost. I needed a termite inspection fo a refi. My mistake was hiring them. They found issues that were nonexistent and fixed things that they reported hadn't been repaired. It was like the right hand not knowing what the left was doing. In the end I had the have to report they sent to the mortgage folk revised. Have them reinspect. And pay dearly for the aggravation. I was caught in the middle. I encourage you to look elsewhere. read more

Excellent customer service. Efficient, knowledgeable, polite, on time. From the estimator, treatment team and scheduler all outstanding professional attitude. . read more

I was very satisfied, I agree with all the positive reviews. I gave it a 4 only because of one thing I didn't realize and the team did not mention. There were several areas where drilling down to put the chemicals in was not viable: one area had tall grass against the house, and the other area was immediately adjacent to a french drain (I am not sure they understood what a french drain is; it seemed that they didn't want to hit anything--I appreciate the caution, but there is nothing to hit there.) I never informed them that I was striving to keep our soil organic, and they never informed me that there would be surface spraying. They were very thorough explaining things to me, but somehow that lack of communication happened anyway. Everything else was excellent, and I appreciated very much that they came out on a rainy day for us! read more

Easy to reach and very knowledgeable. I've had some ant issues and wanted to make sure it wasn't anything more serious. Jorge did an inspection of my condo and was very knowledgeable. read more

Hi Tech did an inspection of our house, and today treated for termites. From start to finish the inspectors and workers were all professional, clear, and friendly. Overall great to work with. read more

We contacted Hi Tech for an estimate on repairing dry rot damage under our back door on the framing, sill and subfloor. The inspection for the estimate was free and the inspector, Ben, was very thorough, courteous and clear-spoken. He even went into the crawl space under the house to inspect the damage to the sub-floor, which no other inspector from the other companies offered to do. An estimate was provided the next day and the work was done the following week. Jose, the technician who did the work was also very thorough and professional. He obviously took great pride in his work, explained everything he was planning on doing and went beyond what we expected. He had an assistant join him on two of the three days of the job who was also very professional and friendly. There were a couple of supplemental change orders for repairing damage that could only be discovered as the removal of the damaged wood proceeded, but the added charges were reasonable and the reasons clearly explained. The job site was cleaned up each day and at the end of the work, with all debris hauled away. Overall, we were extremely satisfied and would recommend this company. read more

I had my termite control done this afternoon. Hi Tech - YOU ROCK!!! I am extremely particular about cleanliness and have a strong aversion to exposure to chemicals. In addition, I am a perfectionist. For the past two years I have done extensive research about what method and company I should use. As a result I contacted Hi Tech. Miguel came to inspect. He was meticulous - especially getting out of the crawl space. Bernadette put up with my tons of questions. John Williams - I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your incredible work ethic, tremendous graciousness, and dedication to customer service. No wonder Hi Tech has been Diamond Certified for more than 10 years under your leadership. Rene Vargas was the technician who did all the work. I could not thank you enough. You exceeded all my expectations in every single way. You deserve to be acknowledged and recognized. If I could give Hi Tech 10 stars I would. ********** read more

Really was impressed with the professionalism of Jim Mortensen who did a thorough job of inspection and found more infested spots than the previous inspectors. Not only that, he took the time to explain and show me how to detect the termites. I actually had a inspector say he only could give me a 30 mins inspection or he would charge me! The only problem was I did not use Hi Tech Control for my work because they did not offer construction work for the damaged areas. Sadly I gave up trying to get a general contractor to do repair work after a month of leaving messages and calling and ended up with another Termite company because they could the repairs that were also needed. read more

I highly recommend HiTech Termite Control. They were my choice initially because they use Timor, a natural borate compound. It is a wood preservative that works as an insecticide and fungicide. Having used them twice since August 2003 and again in 2011 for preventative maintenance spraying, they continue to be my number one choice. Both times they did a preventative spraying of Timbor in both my subfloor and attic for my home Danville. Health-wise, I feel safer living in a house sprayed with Timbor in the subfloor and attic than the other popular advertised chemicals. Their service is excellent. They are thorough with their inspection and spraying. read more

With regard to a rented house in Berkeley and the tenant noticed some termite activity on August 2019. I called two highly reviewed termite companies in the area TimeUP Termite and Hi Tech Termite for the inspection and bid for termite control job. Inspector Benjamin Ortiz of Hi Tech Termite did a thoroughly checking of all the areas; determined that it is the subterranean termite problem and proposed a treatment that included a complete spraying in the crawlspace, laundry room and kitchen areas; And complete treatment of the outside of the house that included drilling / and injecting chemical in various masonry areas and trenching and spraying chemical in other areas around the external foundation of the house. On the day of treatment Mike T and another member did a high quality job in a professional manner; Hi Tech Termite bid price is much more reasonable than the other company. The termite control job is guaranteed for three years, and the bid price including subsequent annual inspection. Customer can also buy yearly insurance after the third year. I selected the Hi Tech Termite company because Ben and Mike are very friendly and honest and answering all of my questions; they did not jack up the price as other company's inspector. I would like to thank the team of Hi Tech Termite and particularly Ben & Mike read more

These guys and gals are Gods. House for sale, get termite inspection, house goes into escrow, termite company can only do "some" repairs leaving me to hunt for other contractors. Then I realize other termite inspector missed stuff, like dry rot wood under a window that was in plain sight. So I go to Hi-Tech. They found a third more issues than original company. They could repair everything. They could do the treatment without tenting and my having to pay for hotel rooms for two days (I have renters and a cat). Their bid indicated they understood the repair issues a LOT better than the original company. Their repairs included things not a part of the other termite company's bid like sealing the tile grout and the porch. Realizing I had a short time to closing, they got their people out and got it done a week early. I will be using one of their sister companies in San Diego for work on my house down there. Highly, highly recommend. read more

Not sure where the high scores were coming from. Literally the service was the worst I can get. Ordered an inspection at 12p Friday, showed up at 1:40p. Promised report be available on Monday; have not received it yet (Wednesday) which made it useless for me at this point. Ouch! Lesson learned. If you want the same experience, go ahead! read more

I really appreciate the efficiency and the good detail work this company does. They employ good workers to get the job done professionally. The team that came to repair the termite damaged areas were very detailed with their measurements and cutting, painting. They were friendly and worked very hard. If you want to rid of your termites and afterwards need to get repairs done that the termites left damage these are the guys to call, I also appreciate their "local" termite treatment methods and no tenting required. They thoroughly explain everything they do and give a free estimate. Also they throw in a little discount as necessary!! They also answered my concerned about many cracks in my stucco and told me they can have someone come out and give me an estimate!! So I'll have one side of my house re-stuccoed which I didn't even realize can be done as an option compared to having siding installed (much more expensive) An honest and thorough company. Thank you Hi tech Team!!! Your the best!! :) Thank you Jorge and Bernadette for all good your help!! Frank G. read more

We found ourselves in the middle of a kitchen remodel and unexpectedly found termites. I gave them a call and they came out right away! Report was very detailed and gave us options. read more

I am not sure how they are rated so high. No Professional manners to communicate back to you. i have left voice mail to there employee who gave me quote but he never returned the call. then i call there business number and talked to someone who was suppose to mail me but never got email. how can they run business like that ? read more

Contacted Hi Tech Termite for my home and am pleased with how everything worked out. Benjamin was great and swift about answering my questions even though my Fiancé was home during the inspection. Had multiple quotes and Hi Tech won the bid with their warranty and pricing. The only issue/annoyance I had was with the schedule technicians that were scheduled to be at my home at 9am today. They arrived roughly 9:30am and that bothers me a lot (30 min late). I had to call their office again while I was at work just to confirm if they were still coming. Leilani (phone and emails) was fantastic at coordinating that and making sure the technicians were still arriving, but I would assume if they were going to be late, a heads up/quick phone call to the owner/person hiring your team would be greatly appreciated. It isnt easy coordinating someone to be at home for the treatment, especially when all options we were given were only at 9am, just on different days. Whenever I hire a company to do work I hope they value my time as much as I value theirs. Its like a mutual respect towards each other. In the end, they got the work done and hopefully the treatment works read more

10 stars for Hi-Tech! I had received a termite report from another company that acted like my house was about to cave in on itself. I called Hi-Tech - their rep, Ben, is professional, courteous, shows up on time, very thorough. What a relief to hear "it's not that bad!" from him. Their estimate was ONE THIRD of the other company! Call Hi-Tech! You won't be sorry! read more

So I'm refinancing my home and needed a pest inspection quickly. I saw online they could do the inspection and get the report back to me within 24 hours. I called and got a same day appointment and the Tech-Miguel was even earlier than the appointment. (That was a good thing) He was nice, professional and clean but he assumed it was ok to walk on my carpet with his shoes---which was not ok. Everything went well with the inspection. Fast forward 24 hours later- NO PEST INSPECTION REPORT and some BS excuse from LUCY, who was extremely rude. I eventually got it 48 hours later without any concession on the price at all. After all it's their website that says they will inspect and issue the report in 24 hours. Fast forward 1 week( Maybe more. I've lost track)- The technician forgets to sign the report and now I'm waiting for something that should have been done the first time. SMH And again no concession on their charge when they don't live up to their own promise and more excuses from the girl who answered the phone. Just own your mistakes, apologize and offer some kind of concession. That's called CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! It's not like I hacked their website to add that verbiage in. I have no issues with the work done, but the customer service aspect and the fact that I have to keep calling for them to get this right is unacceptable. read more

We did dry wood termite fumigation last December through Hi Tech Termite Control. Within two months later I started noticing termite droppings in same spot and then I called the company and they did local treatment. And within 3 months I noticed termite dropping in same spot. Me and my family were really frustrated on them. They came for annual inspection and they noticed different termite spot and they said company will call for appointment for local treatment and it's been couple of weeks till now no one called me for appointment or local treatment. We are really mad with the company and I will recommend Anyone not to go to this company. I want my money back I paid so I can go to different company. read more

They treated our home in May and the crew were professional & very thorough...Highly recommend this company. We have a 3 year warranty...I had them come out today because we are remodeling & found termite damage in the walls. I wanted to know if we needed more treatments...I called yesterday & someone came out today, construction was being held up until we had a termite inspection...They stand behind their work & warranty promise! All is sorted out for our construction crew to continue work tomorrow. Thank you Hi-Tech! read more

[Updates] After I posed review on yelp, hi-tech termite emailed me that ""If you provide the tiles, I will provide the labor to install them (up to 50 tiles). If you have extra stored somewhere, then it won't cost you a dime". I agreed because I thought there were about 10~30 roof clay tiles broken. In fact, I gave the lower estimate because I didn't climb on roof to count and just looked from yard ground. They sent their workers for installing new tiles then told me there were much more tiles broken during fumigation. So I bought more clay tiles and they came again. Finally, there were over 80 pieces roof clay tiles broken during fumigation, I paid over $400 for purchasing the tiles. I felt I paid too much so asked $200 for reimburse. But they thought I changed the agreement and refused. I argued that all agreements were based on minimal damages of roof and now major damages found. They still refused. I am not happy, but anyway thanks for their workers' help to install the tiles. [Original post on Sept. 2015] Just warning: if you want fumigation service but also want to protect your roof please don't ask this company. In August 2015, they did fumigation and sub-termite control services for my house. Their free inspection was good and the inspector worked hard. However, they hired unprofessional people to do the fumigation (climbing on your roof and cover the whole house and release gas to kill pest). Before the fumigation, they asked you to sign a form to waive their responsibility if the roof was damaged during fumigation and they told you that they would do their utmost to ensure damage is kept to a minimum. Unfortunately, the fume person was not professional and didn't prepare any material such as a board on the roof to protect your tiles. He just stepped on the clay tiles and broke the tiles, then told you that your tiles were so fragile. After fumigation, many clay tiles on my roof (at least 10 pieces) were broken. They said they would minimize the damage in the waiver form but during working they didn't. In a word, because you signed the waiver form, it looked like they did not care how many tiles were damaged on customer's roof. read more

This is an excellent termite control company. Inspector Jim Mortensen is the best field service person with his knowledge and professionalism. The two persons come for the job are also outstanding, they are very detail and clean up after their work. Highly recommended. read more

I decided to write this review one year after our treatment was done. Our original field representative was Miguel and he did a very thorough job of inspecting our home. We had very noticeable damp wood and subterranean termite infestation. We chose them out of several others since they were the most thorough, they seemed very honest and their cost was very reasonable. They came on time and got the job done. A year later our termite problems have been resolved, I have not noticed any issues with termites. I called them again recently to have an inspector come out to check our home and they came out promptly and were very professional. The field representative that came out was Paul. Contrary to other reviews I have not had any issues with their service. read more

Got tented for termites. We looked at orange oil treatment, but it only kills the termites where it is injected into the wood, and even then doesn't get all of the local termites. So we went with fumigation, which gets 100% of the termites within the tented space (house, decks, ec.). The process took 3 days. On day 1 they installed the tent and began the fumigation, an injection of Vikane gas with tear gas (Vikane is odorless, colorless, and deadly, so tear gas is used to make you aware of the presence of gas in the unlikely case that you enter the house while the gas is still there). On day 2, they fumigated, and on day 3 they removed the tenting and cleared the house for human occupation. For fumigation, food and medicine must be double bagged in special plastic bags they provide, or removed from the house. This includes the refrigerator and freezer. Sealed bottles and cans can stay. When we returned on day 3, there was a notice that the house had been cleared for occupancy at 8:30 am. We went right in, and noticed no residual problems. The gas line to the house must be turned off during the fumigation. PG&E came and physically disconnected the gas line, taking the gas meter. We scheduled them to return on day 3 to reconnect the meter and open the gas line. They do this, light pilot lights (water heater and whatever) and inspect the gas consuming devices. PG&E does not charge for this service. Two days after fumigation, HiTech returned to spray a chemical on exposed wood in the attic, crawl space, and garage to prevent future infestation. The workman said there was no danger from the chemical spray, but there would be an odor, lasting through the remainder of the day. They were correct. The odor was unpleasant but not overpowering. HiTech provides a 3 year warranty, that includes annual inspections, and on-call service if we see any problems. The actual tenting and fumigation was contacted to Mega Fume. All-in-all this was as advertised. The people were pleasant to deal with, the price was competitive (the lower of 2 bids), and we hope that the termites don't return. read more

We were so impressed by this company. We had another company check the house and give us an estimate but we wanted another offer before we go ahead with their suggestions. Liked the reviews I saw on Yelp, so we called and scheduled an inspection. Jim arrived on time and preformed a thorough inspection of the house, including the crawl space and attic. He was very patient and explained in details his findings. We also received a written report. Hi Tech Termite Control gave us the impression that they are highly professional and fair. We decided to go with their recommendations and scheduled a local treatment to deal with the infected area. I will recommend to my friends to call them if they ever suspect they have termites. read more
