    Cut above the others I got quotes from. On time, clean up and the owner John does the inspection before. Easy to trust.

    Last year, the City redid the asphalt, driveway approaches, and curbs on our street. Our block…read morelooks wonderful. We also replaced our 30+ year old roof. Unfortunately, as a result, many critters came out of their hiding. We had a spider issue both inside and outside our home. We also had ants inside our house for the first time in over 20 years. We searched for a pest control company and after several quotes, we chose Homeshield and it was a wise decision. Though the regular service is quarterly, they will fine as often as needed if any issue arise before the routine service. Our tech, Oliver has been servicing our home from the beginning. He is always punctual, polite, and professional. He addresses all of the issues we point out while he is at our home. The price for their service is fair. Their office is always professional and it is easy to schedule a service, usually within a couple of days of calling. We will continue to use their service for a long time.

    We've been using Home Shield for nearly a year now and even transferred our service when we moved…read moreto our new home. Bryan has been absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. During the move, he quickly identified an ant infestation with multiple colonies throughout our backyard and was very thorough and aggressive in treating them. Thanks to him, we haven't had any ongoing ant issues. We also haven't had problems with spiders, and during mosquito season the relief was truly noticeable. I paused mosquito services about two months ago, but with the recent weather and water buildup, we'll definitely be resuming that service soon. Bryan is knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely cares about solving the problem, not just doing a quick treatment. Highly recommend Bryan and Home Shield.

He blamed me for various things like questioning why he wanted our crawl space 100% open during his trapping. He lied and said he removed and reset traps when he did not. I was home on the days he said he was there, my dog barks, and I checked the trap several times a day. This guy simply was lying about resetting the trap. He abandoned our house completely for 13 days. After a skunk sprayed under our house a second time while Daddys Pest Control was supposedly helping me with the problem, the smell was so bad we couldn't be in half our house for 3 days. I fired him. I hired a much better trapper who in less than 24 hours trapped and removed the skunk for half the price. Basically I paid this man $500 to do nothing, and a different guy $250 to trap and remove a skunk. 2 stars for his responsiveness to the first call and coming out to get the first $500 check and set a trap two or three times with cat food that caught a possum that was not the problem. Zero stars on actually doing what we needed him to do. A competent trapper getting the job done quickly with 24 hours of firing Daddy's Pest Control is all you need to know. He might be great for ants or bugs, but look elsewhere for bigger pests like skunks or rats. I am not trying to kill anyone's livelihood here, but this man is definitely not your guy for skunks or rats.

Without having an…read moreidea what was underneath my home (skunk or opossum) we finally caught the opossum that was stubborn to come out for almost 2 weeks.

    About a month ago, i found a homeowners worst nightmare both: drywood termites and subternean…read moretermites eating my home in my external and interior attics and mudtubes in my raised foundation of my home. I had gotten quite a few quotes from various vendors for tenting and trenching Termidor and Nykor provided a no-tent solution that was priced competively and only a few hundred more than the traditional methods of tenting/ trenching, and they offered the same 2 year guarantee that all the competitors offered. They worked with me to inspect the home and noted their findings and gave me a very clear invoice and quote to my email. I had a good experience for a whole home Termite Service from Tony and Chris, they arrived promptly on 3/31/2026 and proceeded to treat the bare wood areas of my home inside my garage and inside my interior home attict, and also the subteranean area under my home and base boards per their quote. The service took about 2.5 hours and it was relatively painless beyond some overspray clean up on my appliances and lighting fixtures, they were very clear to cover and remove any paper items like books, and I moved everything off the walls for the interior spraying as best I could per the instructions. The service went well, and as it takes time to see if the treatment worked given that they sprayed Termidor, I cleaned up all the frass/ termite droppings i could see in the affected areas and I will ask them to come back next year around this time for an inspection or If i see more activity and once the 2 year guarantee is over, subscribe for them to come back to inspect and do a treatment of any newly affected areas. The only issue was they charged me the wrong price at the end but promptly refunded the amount and charged me properly, which is one of the most honest things I've seen any vendor do, then their payment went through the next day.

He sprayed two of our troubled areas and gave us a 2-year guarantee. Absolutely recommend Nykor for a your pest services.

He also tried to explain why I have to pay $62/month when Home Shield needs only to come 2-3x/year.

The name "HomeShield" is ridiculous. They're not EVEN shielding me from spiders in the bedrooms. I really don't remember what they cost, but it really doesn't matter because - SPIDERS!! LITTLE SPIDERS CROUCHING IN CORNERS, BIG BLACK ONES ON THE CEILING, UNSEEN SPIDERS SPINNING WEBS IN CHANDELIERS!! When I complained about this, they offered oh so politely to come inside the house to spray. They seem to have no conception that you spray outside so that you don't have to spray inside. WHEN YOU CONSIDER THIS COMPANY, THINK OF KILLING SPIDERS BY YOURSELF OR HAVING A HOUSE FULL OF TOXIC SPRAY. In 40 years of hiring pest control companies at various properties in and around LA, I have never seen one so incompetent. Spiders are only my major complaint. BACK TO WESTERN EXTERMINATORS.
