They did the job! We all of a sudden saw evidence of mice in our garage. I called them. They sent Daniel, and he was great. Closed all entries, checked the attic, set traps and got those little culprits. He has come back twice since then, no more mice! They did the job quickly and efficiently. I would certainly use them again. read more

John simply does not quit until the job is done right. I have used Johnny Rat for two different properties -- when it comes to sealing off structures from rodents, the quality of the work is incredible and he double and triple checks everything. Friendly and timely service, excellent communication from everyone who works at this small business. read more

I have never had this great experience with any company. I highly recommend them. I have worked with hundreds of people but Johnny's Rat is by far the most honest and professional. read more

This company gave an estimate 2/3 higher than any of the 5 other companies and didn't have pictures or reasonable description of " entry points " for rats . Just said fix " 13 possible points ". And ... here is the kicker ... after advertising " free" estimate are trying to collect a 75.00 fee. Who does this ? Really not professional at all Discussed with other comp and all were in agreement . I dislike negativity but I think folks should know to be aware . one rat in attic ... 3 entry points Am paying 750.00 to reputable company Johnny Rat quoted 2100.00 read more

Just spoke with Genesis and she was extremely helpful and informative. I had a bunch of questions she answered immediately and went on to explain a few extra things I had not thought of. She explained their process, their pricing, their methods and what I would expect. I was overall please and would recommend them for any rodent problems you may have. read more

I always feel that John does everything to keep those nasty pests out of our home . Thank you.

Two stars because Johnny picked up the phone right away when I called and sent a tech to my house the same day. The guy, Chris was really nice and seems professional enough and answered questions about where the mice in our house is coming in from. However we are not quite convinced. Also, we caught a live mice inside an upside down bucket and after he gave us a quote which we think is high, we requested if he can please take the little mouse and put it in a bag for us, he jumped and was stunned when he realized the mouse is still alive, it gave us a few laughs to see a rodent tech kinda scared to catch a trapped little mouse. However I do commend Johnny for trying to help us and sending us a person right away, thus, 2 stars. No offense meant for this review, just being honest. We are now waiting on another rodent person to come from a different company. Thanks for trying Johnny. read more

They completed the work and the person who came to my home seemed experienced and was a professional. It took me a while to choose which company to hire because the work needed was very expensive, and now I feel like I made a huge mistake... They broke my marble stairs. My husband had warned the technicians to be careful with the floor so that they would not damage it with their tools. It still happened, and when I called to complain about it, they did not help at all. They simply said that "the floor was like that when technicians arrived," which is simply not true. For that reason, I cannot and will not recommend them. read more

Honest, reliable, thorough, and caring! I trust John. This is the Best pest company I've ever used! read more

John came to our house within a day after my call. He is courteous, professional and thorough. Explained fully what he found and what should be done to resolve our rat problem. He did some initial work immediately and then came back a week later for additional work. Work is guaranteed for a year also. read more

ABSOLUTELY, the best pest service in Los Angeles County. I've never met a more professional and thorough guy in this business as I have with Johnny! Before you call anyone else you have to call Johnny Rat! Edit: I just scrolled down after leaving my own review. The people leaving 1-star reviews were clearly upset a true professional in the pest business would give them bad news. Those reviewers shouldn't be believed as they're upset they had a pest problem to begin with. So sad people like them are able to leave false and misleading reviews. read more

John is professional, he came right away and solved our rodent issues with care. He worked sealing our house till it was dark. He actually loves doing what he does and it shows. John is also a nice and fair person. I would highly recommend them any time! They're better than the huge pest control companies in overall quality of service. read more

Very happy with this company. I live in the canyons and rats are definitely an issue. First hired Johnny Rat years ago, when I opened my pantry and discovered that I had a massive infestation. They fixed it using a gel that smells like garlic and which rats apparently detest. It took a few months, but worked and was well worth it. Then I used bait boxes for a few years to deal with stragglers, but I stopped when I learned that the poison moves up the food chain and hurts wildlife (rat eats poison, hawk eats rat, etc). So I didn't do anything and one night I looked outside under my bird feeder and there were, literally, like 20 rats having a party. Called John and asked if there was anything non-toxic that he could do. He suggested a new repellent called Pro-pel, it isn't toxic to people/dogs/wildlife, its something they spray around the perimeter. Takes a month or two to kick in, and you have to sign up for a one-year contract to have them come monthly and reapply the stuff. Worth every penny - very few rats after first application, none at all after second application, doesn't smell bad, doesn't poison wildlife and doesn't leave decapitated rats the way traps do. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

We have been watching rats play in the tree outside our living room window, so it seemed like a good time to have an expert check things out. Candelario is a great guy -- very informative and upfront. And he just saved me from a potentially massive headache. Very thorough. So glad for the opportunity to have his examination in and around my home. read more

There's nothing more stressful and horrifying (at least for me) than finding bugs in your home...especially in my kitchen! But Candy made the whole process very easy. He explained everything in great detail, answered my endless questions with patience and his demeanor and humor was just a joy! He truly was my "friendly neighborhood bug guy!" Thanks Candy for everything! And you were right, it went very smoothly! read more

Johnny Rat and Candelario have been very helpful and reliable for us. They respond immediately and are doing everything to help us solve a tricky pest problem. Candelario is thorough and ensures that all access points are sealed up to prevent future problems. Additionally, he recommends only what we actually need and doesn't try to oversell and waste time and money. I recommend them highly. read more

John is very thorough, very nice, and the problem is solved. His follow up is tremendous. I know if we need him to come back that he will. This is my second time using his services and I recommend him to all. read more

Candelario was very friendly and efficient. took good care of the issues I pointed to him.

Amazingly honest. First let me set the scene. Because my husband is stingy with air condition (even in the Valley) he opens the door to let the air in during the evening... and leaves it open for a few hours. (now that I've left that out there-- on to the story) Two nights ago, I heard rustling in some plastic bags in the corner of our room. Turned the light on and found nothing. Later in the evening, I heard some shampoo bottles moving in the shower-- again since it was 2am, I wasn't thinking straight, and I just assumed they fell down off the shelf because of house settling. Two or so hours later, my husband sits up and I feel something run across my leg. He said, something bit me on my finger. There's a bit of blood. Now I can't sleep. There was a spider in the ceiling earlier in the night. I'm not afraid of spiders, so I ignored it. But that wasn't a spider bite. Last night, anxious about the night before-- sleeping(ish)-- heard rustling. Heard the shampoo bottle move again. Husband tried to claim it was "just the shampoo bottles" but I forced him to check it out. EEEEEEKKKKK!!!!! Rat in shower! Closed the door and trapped it in there. Sat up for 2 hours wondering what we could do with a rat trapped in the bathroom (and listened to its anxious skitterings) Called Johnny Rat b/c of good reviews here and on Angies List. Now obviously we're in a state of anxiety and sleep deprivation. And we have two little girls (one a baby that we don't really want around a biting rat). He could have tried to sell us on a massive treatment and prevention project. BUT-- he came, checked out the place, let us know that there are no entry points in the attic or exterior (other than the front door-- see above). There is no evidence of rats in the attic... so our friend was probably an outlier. And our technician didn't charge us at all. Meanwhile the rat who had been trapped in the bathroom chewed a hole in the screen and scaled down from our 2nd floor bathroom window to the yard below. So its gone too... good riddance. read more

Very accommodating and helpful. Initially, they said they couldn't get a man to come for two days, then checked their schedule and got a guy out the same day, on the early side of the noon-4 pm window they specified. He thoroughly checked the area where rat droppings appeared, then checked all the rooms, as well as my attic, ascertaining that there wasn't an infestation problem, but that one rat may have gained entry, possibly thru an open screen door or a small tear in a window screen; we tossed out the cardboard box where the droppings were, but it appeared the 'visitor' had likely exited the way he came in and was out of the house. Very helpful, knowledgeable guy, super helpful phone rep, and they didn't charge me a dime. Now I'm getting my window screens repaired so this will be an isolated incident. Great job. read more

Candelario is awesome. We had a pretty bad pest situation and Candelario corrected it. He is always thorough and professional. Thank you!

Candelario shows up on time, plus he's knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and definitely making a dent in the neighborhood rat population. If he cooks and does laundry, we'd adopt him!!!!!!!!!!! read more

As always the technician did far more than originally ordered. With courtesy and ability to listen to my concerns, pro active in creating solutions for my "rat" and "mouse" problem. Great technician. Great company read more

Prompt, professional and very thorough. Takes what he does very seriously. He sealed access points for us. I'm happy with his work. I trust him and will continue with monthly monitoring since I have ivy and shrubs close to my home which will continue to be an inviting place for nesting rodents. read more

I highly recommend Johnny Rat. The team is professional, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The services they provide are methodical, consistent and well executed. The back up their work and provide long term solutions to annoying pests while keeping it safe for kids and pets. On a personal note, John and Candelario are stand up good guys! read more

BEWARE!!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE this place has a 5 star rating. They're the BIGGEST SCAM ARTISTS IN TOWN!! BEWARE!! THEY RIP YOU OFF!!! FIRST the guy tried to tell me we had a dead squirrel on the roof, which he wouldnt remove unless we did what he said...his words. Then he said he can and seal all holes for $900!!!!! SERIOUSLY???? SO because we didnt do this, he wouldnt remove the dead squirrel!!!!. What we paid him for was to place traps, and he'd come back 3 times to check them. A whopping $185!!! I could've done them myself! Well after the first visit, he said they placed the traps all over my attic. I took his word for it, On his 2nd visit, he claimed CLAIMED, that they reset the traps and put in more bait. He refused STILL to remove the dead squirrel, because it had been raining. WTF???? WHAT BABIES!!!! Then on the final visit they were 7 and a half hours LATE!!!! YEAH!!! YOU heard right! Then we find out,on this visit that they never even spaced the traps out in the attic!!! They threw them all right inside the attic opening so that they wouldnt have to walk around up there! And the one main guy, told us he had to go sit in the truck because he was TOO HOT!!! HE NEEDED AIR conditioning!!!!! OMG!!!!!! The guy's like 30 years old!!!! SUCH IDIOTS!!!!! NEVER EVER AGAIN!! GRRRRRRRR!!!!! read more

If I could give them minus stars , I would. Run. I hired them to deal with rodents at my house and duplex. From start to finish they were a nightmare. They use an intense garlic gel, it is gross and only lasts a few months. The guy that did the estimate said that they would be sealing all the holes and cleaning everything up. What they did do was put the gross garlic gel around. They missed a ton of holes, large gaping holes, one was 12 inches by 2 inches. I finally gave up on trying to get them to do the work that I paid them for and hired somebody else. I also hired somebody to fix my dryer because the Johnny rat guys sealed up the dryer vent - they left a ton of open holes but did seal the dryer vent. The traps they put down were not armed and they never did the final check - I received a call confirming the appointment but they never showed and didn't return my calls. Once my check cleared they were done. The cleaning up the estimator said would happen never happened, not even close. They did the "work" in spring of 2014 - I wrote a review on angie's list at that time - just came across them on yelp and thought I'd do you all a favor, seriously you would be better off throwing your money in the trash - these guys are the worst. They posted a response to my review on angie's list that was totally bogus, they didn't even respond to the angie's list mediator or return my calls. I quit angie's list thanks to johnny rat, yelp is so much better. read more

Awesome! Super friendly and do a fab job. We are now completely sealed up and rat free. Best price for quality

Candelario was great. I really appreciate how they came to my house within an hour of my first call, and how they solved my problem the very next day. Rats were chewing my alarm wires in my attic. My previous company, Bugs AtoZ, kept not showing up for appointments. This could have been very expensive, but I called Johnny Rat and they came right away. They saved my alarm wires from further damage, which would have been a nightmare. read more

The technicians and staff are professional and always on time! What more can you ask for from a pest control service? Well, they are reasonably priced too! read more

Candelario was absolutely great. When I was concerned about how the wire mesh to screen of the underside of my deck would look, he came back at no additional charge so he would have more time and be able to do an artistic job. The mesh is inset and invisible. He is very knowledgeable about lots of different pests. Kudos! read more

I saw a mouse in my house and called Johnny Rat on a neighbor's recommendation. I could not have asked for better service or more reasonable rates. John (the owner) came out with a helper. He was very polite and very helpful. He educated me about my problem and then gave me several cost-effective options to choose from. In the end he didn't charge a dime for the service call and helped me understand how to fix my problem for only $20. I hope he can stay in business only charging this much because his service is FANTASTIC! read more
