Thanks to Jim and the entire Advanced IPM team, my business has remained in excellent condition, and I have complete confidence that any concerns will be handled quickly and effectively. It's refreshing to work with a company that genuinely cares about its clients and delivers on its promises. Thank you, Jim and Advanced IPM, for the outstanding service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, top-quality pest control!

I called around all the top reviewed places and decided on Original Rodent Proofing. They were…read morecompetitive, not the cheapest, but Shannon Lee sold me on their work, along with Brandon (owner's) call to check in and answer any questions. Their warranty on work done was another key factor. An electrician found a dead rat and droppings in the attic, so I needed clean up and rodent proofing. In the crawl space, a bunch of the ducts were unattached by wear and tear and plumbing work that had been done in the past (which I didn't know. No wonder my gas bill was so high over the winter!). Shannon and team cleaned everything up, sanitized, reattached the ducts and rodent proofed the whole house on the outside. Apparently the attic was vulnerable, as prior owners' foam had been chewed through in the eaves. After they were done they set traps which will be checked every few weeks. I will update if there are any further rodents but I am confident in the work by the company and team. I highly recommend this family owned company.

Before hiring, I had asked my local mom's group, local raves and rants page and Nextdoor... these…read morefolks came up as highly recommended. So we interviewed them for the job. The guy who came out was on time, a bit eccentric and very passionate about rats. He was detail oriented and did a great job explaining the job and its breakdown. Unfortunately on the day of the job, we had 4 guys come to our home on time- but none of them spoke English. Now, I appreciate them coming out, but we just could not communicate and they did not have work trucks or shirts with their company name. An hour later, we had a younger guy show up and he spoke English. The crew worked really fast, did a nasty job of removing our rodent infested insulation and put in new insulation, they mixed concrete and patched up some holes as well and put out rat traps. They came back twice to check the traps and removed them. I think they did a good job, appreciate their punctuality. But management should always send someone who speaks some English and provide a company truck or at least shirts. I personally felt uncomfortable letting into my home a group of random men with no identification.

Today we had a pest inspection by Fil of HomeShield. Fil conducted the inspection and then told us…read morethe good news, that he did see evidence of termites.

We were hearing noises in our attic for quite some time but thought it was squirrels, but turns out…read morewe had rats. They chewed on our crawl space ducts to the point that the insulation was seeping through the vents. Our first inspection was by Sam and was pleased on how he explained the issues we were having and confirmed that we had rodents. He inspected our attics and sent another crew to check the crawl space and confirmed we also had tunneling. After sending us an estimate of the costs, we decided to check with another provider to get a competitive pricing. After reviewing we decided to go with Honest Rodent Proofing, they were clear and detailed in their statement of work and very approachable to discuss our issues. On the service day, unfortunately we had an issue where the estimate was incorrect and they missed the correct sq ft of the house. Sam was able to provide a discount and we were happy to proceed. The crew is a great team, and wanted to thank Fernando, Mario, Josh and others I didn't get their names. They were able to explain what they were doing and why. They cleared all the old insulation in the attic and replaced with new ones. They added traps which luckily caught one of the chaps the next day. They also added additional traps and will be checking in the next coming weeks. We value their service and have recommended them to our Neighbours too.

I open the car door, like a *punch* in the *face*, the stench hits me-- it's almost as if it had *gained* strength throughout the night..." - Jerry Seinfeld da Scene: It's not in our car... it's in the HOUSE!! Friday night and we get a faint smell of "rotting garbage" wafting occasionally throughout the house, just every now & then, fleeting. We do a cursory check of the garbage cans and anywhere there might be food. Saturday the smell is bit more pronounced, kind of more in the kitchen/dining room area. We had a party w/ lots of little kids recently, so we do a hard-target search for maybe an errant chicken wing or something stuck in an un-intended space by a kiddo... no dice. I start to think is smells similar to a dead mouse or rat, possible in the walls or crawl space; increasing smell, so I put out a Yelp! Project on a possible dead animal removal/inspection. Yami @ Honest Rodent Proofing was 1st to respond, so setup a Monday AM inspection. Sunday the smell is a bit stronger in that one area, rest of the house seems fine. da Work: The technician Sam arrives early to do an inspection, agrees there is a faint smell, but is not sure if it's a dead animal (and he'd know?!). He does the inspection of the perimeter, then the crawl space under the house, going directly under the kitchen/dining room area and did not see any sign of animal activity. He also peeked in the attic area and did not smell or see anything up there as well. FRUSTRATING! da Service: Sam said since he didn't find anything to remove nor did he see any tunneling near the foundation or entry along the roof, that there was no charge. He advised to see how it goes the next few days if the smell get worse or we see flies inside the house, to get them back; that it was possible whatever it is, is in the walls, but until we can pinpoint it better, finding it randomly is tough. While it's frustrating that we didn't find a cause yet, it's somewhat comforting that nothing was found initially; I was picturing a rat or squirrel rotting away under the house. Yami was quick to gets us scheduled and helpful, while Sam did his best to discover what was up. Excellent and quick communications will have me going back to them if needed and in the future. Honest Rodent Proofing is just that, honest and earned my repeat business. Keeping our fingers crossed that we don't need a priest to get rid of this fleeting smell!

I received a flat rate price estimate shortly after starting a Yelp project on July 5th from this company. They were quick to respond and gave a price that was reasonable compared to others that responded and offered to come out next day. Dennis came the next day and communicated well prior to his arrival. Dennis explained what he would do well. Dennis made quick work of that wasp nest and knocked it off my roof eave before taking it away. All in all, I'd say he was here for no longer than 20 minutes. He recommended servicing our residence as well as the eaves to further prevent wasps from returning and to prevent other pests from visiting, but was not pushy about the service. I would recommend this company to others.

I hired All in One Pest Eliminators to deal with what appeared to be a skunk living under my house…read morein the Oakland Hills. The skunk was spraying so frequently that the odor had become overwhelming and was actually making its way into my bedroom. Living in the hills, wildlife is simply part of life. Most of the time it's one of the perks of living here. Unfortunately, this particular wildlife situation had become unbearable, so I called in the professionals. OR, what I thought were the professionals... I should have just called a Doberman. I will start by saying that the technicians themselves were professional. Unfortunately, the actual service was a complete failure and complete waste of money. They came out, set a trap, filled it with cat food, covered it with a bag, and instructed me to check it every morning. The problem with that approach is obvious: if the trap actually contained a skunk, the only way to find out was to walk right up to it and look inside. Nothing says "professional wildlife management" quite like asking the homeowner to potentially get skunked. Over the course of the next week, I was repeatedly assured that the bait being used was specifically designed to attract skunks and that possums supposedly weren't interested in it. Yet somehow, the trap managed to catch three possums and exactly zero skunks. ZERO SKUNKS! The skunk that was actually causing the problem remained comfortably under my house, probably laughing at them and apparently completely unimpressed by their "specialized" bait. Meanwhile, the charges kept appearing on my credit card. By the end of this adventure, I was out roughly $700 and left with the exact same problem I started with. Three possums had been trapped and removed--none of which were bothering me in the first place--I honestly feel bad for these poor possums, what did they do with them when they took them away? While the skunk continued living its best life beneath my home. Three possums later, I'm convinced the trap's only qualification was "contains animal." I'm honestly surprised they didn't catch my own cat, a squirrel, and the neighbor's golden retriever while they were at it. The skunk, meanwhile, continues to live its best life under my house while I funded this expensive wildlife exchange program. Thank you All-in-One. If your goal is to spend hundreds of dollars catching harmless possums, this company may be for you. If your goal is to solve a skunk problem, All N One Pest Eliminators are a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY!
