Call these guys! Daniel responded to my call, stating he could be at the house at 3 PM. At about 2:30 I got a text telling me he'd arrive about 2:45. (When was the last time any service person arrived early.) He examined the spot I thought I had trapped the mouse, but nothing there. He then conducted a thorough search of the entire house, noting spaces where the critter could have escaped on its own. Texting with arrival time, arriving early, well groomed very polite, thorough, and well-spoken. OMG - and it was free because no mouse. But I would have paid for the thorough inspection. Recommended without hesitation. read more

Leonardo's Pest Control - Pest Control Near Me

Out of business. Before that I had issues with billing taking money from my account without permission and had to constantly fight to get it back. But my technician Ismael is awesome and why I stayed. read more

We've used them for years, we were never that satisfied, the last 2 weeks we are trying to contact them but they don't pick up the phone, we leave a messages and they would not return calls. Very unprofessional. Time to move on. read more

The exterminator company was going to seal all the entrances to rodents on my property, and trap the remaining rodents. I was out of town and paid paid $603. dollars for sealing the property and exterminating the rodents. My tenants kept complaining about the rodent problem. I called Leonardo's and they came out to change a trap. The complaints kept coming in so I went to check on the home. I could not believe what I saw. Leonardo's literally blocked 1 percent of the openings with wire. They left the 99 % of the openings untouched. They did not do any of the work they were required to do. Dont use this company.1 read more

We used Leonardo's for an ant problem years ago, based on a recommendation. Fast forward a few years and ants were making a comeback to the outside walls, but not yet inside. Called for an appointment. He even contacted me about coming early. Good careful work. Very customer focused. We're happy. read more

Leonardo and Ismael came through and did a thorough inspection and did an excellent job resolving the issue. They even set up a system to prevent this happening again. His price was very reasonable given him getting here so fast and getting the job done. Really nice and funny guys too. Highly recommend them. read more

Had a small bug problem living in small area. Since they came, I haven't even seen a fly.

Called Leonards because I had a mouse problem. They worked fast and was able to get someone to my place within an hour. Daniel was very communicative and friendly. I felt at ease when he came and he did a very clean job. I appreciate the company coming to my rescue and now I can sleep knowing that this pest is handled! read more

Avoid this business. I was a loyal customer for a few years with a monthly service. We had a serious ant problem and while they did take care of it, it turned out their service is awful. First, the owner admitted his stepson had basically ripped off a bunch of customers by claiming he showed up and performed service and never did. So ok, the owner attempted to make up for it by comping a free month. Were they able to overcome this serious defect? No. Next they started sending out different technicians. It was tiresome to see different faces every few months. They could not keep people employed. It is a problem when you have different people going through your home and yard. Unsafe. There was a problem with the owner's wife double billing us. They charged extra for credit card payments. We started sending checks to cover our invoices but they still billed our credit card. We had to bring it to their attention to stop billing our credit card. They did it for months. Very sloppy. Finally, turns out their prices are way too high. After finally getting fed up, I called around to different companies and found one for more than half the price. Ridiculous. Owner tried to cut price to match but couldn't even come close. Which only went to show they knew they are overcharging customers all along. Pest control isn't rocket science. Find a reputable company with longtime employees and good customer ratings. Avoid Leonardo's. read more

My mother and I got serviced from them last year and they shipped showing up. They didn't bother calling or sending someone else since the person who would service us stopped working for Leonardo's. read more

Wilson came out the same day we called. Great guy really helped explain and walk us through what needed to be done. These guys went over and above our expectations. Very nice and informative about everything Wilson fixed the problem the same day. We highly recommend them to everyone read more

A little back ground on this company. Father started the company; he used to work for Orkin and decided he can go off on his own. YAY! Congrats! (Total fan of small business) The problem becomes when you are too cocky for your own good. Father hires son. Again, father worked at Orkin, not son. The son told me that rats do not make squeaking sounds. Okay, well then that must be a monkey in the walls or under the floor? The son was really cocky and spouted off at the mouth SEVERAL times about how he is a professional and did not care to listen to what we had to say. He throws a bunch of blue poison bars around various places, warns me that if my dog takes a bite, he is dead. He recommended that all of these repairs be done, but that they do not do them. And his final comment was, "it'll take 3 weeks for them to died, you'll smell the dead rats decomposing for a few days" and "once I do a job, I NEVER get called back." Guess what....the rats(or monkeys) are back! He was called back and he is doing nothing!! Bottom line is, don't waste your money with them unless you are doing it for pure entertainment. Hire a professional, someone who will listen to what you have to say and address the issues that are specific to your place. read more

My wife and I both agreed that Leonardo deserved 4 stars. The main thing is that he got rid of our infestation, and the price seemed fair. Why 4 stars? Here's the scoop.... Pros - He came on time, with most of the things he needed to do the job - He spent a lot of time educating us on how to prevent future pest problems. Nice. - As I mentioned, the price seemed fair. Cons - He told us to get a bunch of garbage bags to throw out infested food. Fair enough, but what if we didn't have a bunch on hand? Shouldn't he be bringing the bags? - About half way through the job, he told my wife, "Help me move all this stuff -- I have another job to go to." Really? I kind of thought that's why we were paying him. But hey, I'm new to the world of extermination. - At the end, he tried to charge me more than we'd agreed on, even though we'd already texted each other the agreed upon price before he came over. If you're concerned about my "cons", then bring them up when you talk to him on the phone to avoid unpleasant surprises. Bottom line: good job, good price, good guy. Just be carefull out there, as always. read more

Like everyone, in Long Beach during the summer months, we have ANTS. No central air so we always leave our screened windows and doors open to let in air. EXPERIENCE: I called and left a message and a girl called me right back. She asked for my address and I said I just wanted a quote. I want information not to start giving people my personal information. She then said okay and that a technician would call me back with a quote. What was she calling me back for if she had no information to offer besides wasting my time! I talked to William (technician), he called 5 minutes after the operator. He seemed very knowledgeable and was able to provide different appointment times the very next day (thumbs up). #1 REASON I CHOSE THIS COMPANY: -Their indoor treatment doesn't require me to leave for 2-3 hours with my animals -Don't have to force my cats to sit in their crate somewhere for that long or stay at vet -No white residue left behind that is potentially dangerous to my pets -60-day Gurantee PROS: -Locally located -Call back was quick -YELP states it's open 24-hours -Technician called back 5 minutes -Quote: 1,100 sqft house was $195 and I don't have to leave the house with all the animals -You can stay home. They do a bate system inside so it's a relief since I have 2 cats and 2 dogs. CONS: -You have to wait for a technician to call back b/c phone operator doesn't know any pricing information - Price is much higher than 2 other companies I called (Family Pest Control $145, and L.A. Bug & Pests Control for $155) -Takes 4-6 days for ants to be gone. Other companies quote 24-36 hours RESULTS: -no more ants all the way to October. -William found multiple nests under our turfed dog run. He was great, hard working, knowledgable. -he followed the ants to find the nests and demolitions them. -I had to direct him and ensure he did t damage the turf in the back. -we are very happy -We asked them to come back to do termites but they said they don't exterminate them read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! The owner (Leonardo) is RUDE RUDE RUDE. He relies on his technicians to do the job, he doesn't personally come in to see how the job is done but when you talk to him on the phone, he makes it sound like he KNOWS everything. We get technicians calling us to schedule when we have already scheduled with another one. It is so confusing how we always get different ones. Also, I don't know how they keep their invoices but they will charge you even though you are already paid up. He will then tell you to send them a copy of the bill that you received from them. And when you try to explain your point, he actually raises his voice! I told him I will talk to my boss because we need to find another company that will treat us better. An hour later, he called me back saying "you said you are going to call back but you didn't call me back!" I was like WTF?!? I said I have to call my boss first and then informed him we are not going to need his services anymore because he is rude and he interrupted my by raising his voice again and telling me he is not rude. Really?! I had no choice but to hang up because I do not have time to argue with him. The last tech (Francisco) is a really nice guy. But what he says and what Leonardo says are always conflicting. So unless you want constant confusion about your bills, constant need for a follow up on your maintenance and a constant need to argue with someone over the phone, then this is the company for you. read more

Okay, so I didn't have them get rid of anything for me, so can't speak to their effectiveness when it comes to getting rid of critters. But from the interaction I did have with them, they were truly professional, seemed to know what they were doing, and I would have no issue hiring them the next time something comes up (knock on wood it doesn't though). So I called last week because we seemed to have a creature nesting under the front walkway of our home. Mind you I called three other companies as well, but Wilian was the only one who would come that day and not try to charge me for it. Two of the other companies, which tout free estimates, wanted to charge me between $50-$150 just to come out (apparently free estimates only work over the phone?) The other couldn't come out for two more days. So like a true professional, Wilian said he would try to get to my place that day, if he couldn't, he'd call me and set up a time for the next day. Now I've dealt with my share of contractors, subcontractors, so on and so on. The chances that they'll do what they actually say is about 10% of the time if you're lucky. But to my surprise, Wilian called later that day as he was on his way over. I was greeted by a professional, nice young man who surveyed the damage, and said quite honestly that he could trap the critter that was nesting under my home, but it wouldn't be worth the cost and wouldn't really solve my problem. He said I was better off going to Home Depot and filling up the hole with as much concrete as I could get. He also stuck around and answered my questions about a few other things related to wildlife around our home. He didn't rush me, and didn't seem too interested in making easy money (unlike the other companies), but more interested in actually helping me. He also was completely aware and compliant with the city's rule as to how pest and critters are to be treated and taken care of. Five stars for their honesty and professionalism. Like I said, if I ever need to get rid of anything in and or around my home, Leonardo's has earned themselves a lifelong customer and fan! read more

Daniel gave excellent customer service. He was very nice on the phone and even nicer in person. He gave us an eta as promised in the morning and was on time. He did a great job explaining everything and really seemed to care. Very professional. If I ever need these services again I will be requesting Daniel. read more

Daniel and I agreed upon a Time and an initial estimate for a possible bee hive in the attic of my church. He arrived, assessed the size of the hive (video taping what he had seen and having me review it) and quoted a reasonable price. I asked when he could do the job and he replied right now. About 30 minutes later the job was done. I highly recommend this company. Tom read more

Professional and effective. I had a unfortunate roof rat problem in the attic like many residents in Rancho Palos Verdes do. Leonardo's team was very detail oriented and made sure every exposed opening in the house was sealed shut. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone. I signed a year contract and the insects and rats are non-existent. Wilson, Daniel and Leonardo are the best in the business. read more

We had a RANK smell coming from under the house and needed someone right away. There was definitely something dead underneath our floorboards... I looked on Yelp and saw that Leonardo's Pest Control had a 5 star review and I now know why. They are the best! It was a Sunday afternoon and I was worried I wouldn't be able to get anyone out until Monday, but as soon as I called Leonardo's Pest Control I knew I would be taken care of. Soon after calling William and Wilson showed up and got right to work. They were very nice, funny and super helpful. I have an older style house so the crawl spaces were very small, but Wilson was determined to get in there. And he did! Sure enough they found a big, ugly, smelly dead possum underneath the house (SICK) and removed it right away. The whole thing took less than 30 mins! I can't say enough about the type of service I received from Leonardo's Pest Control. William was even working on his day off! It was truly a very pleasant experience and they made it as easy as possible. You can tell they truly enjoy their work and giving great customer service. I HIGHLY recommend Leonardo's Pest Control. Thanks William and Wilson! read more

I was amazed by the way Leonardo does buisness. I had a rodent problem that was driving me crazy.I had a different Pest Contol company kill the rats but they came back. Leonardo was able to sent a Specialist who adviced me about rodent proofing. Basicly the rats were coming back through holes in the house. They sealed the holes and did what they needed to do to kill the rats inside. Wilian even gave me a deal on removing the dead rats after they were caught. Thank you leoardo's pest control. read more

Excellent service. Friendly workers and the treatment was effective. Would recommend them to anyone and I will call again when the ants return (which was over a year ago!) read more

My wife and I have had our house serviced monthly by Leonardo's for over a year now. Since they have been coming on a regular basis we have had little to no pest problems. The technicians usually message us before they come so that we can make sure I am home and can keep my dogs out of their way. One time we noticed a black widow and brown widow in the house, so they came out and sprayed for them free of charge (because they had already come that month). We haven't had issues with brown/black widows since. Recently, we had a fly infestation for no known reason. We tried our best to kill the flies on our own but it was getting a little much. My wife called Leonardo's and the owner came out a few hours later. We couldn't find a source for the flies. He went up into the attic and inspected the whole house to look for the cause. There was no source that he could pinpoint so he ended up spraying the area of the infestation (our kitchen). We were nervous that the specialty fly spray would just kill flies and not address the root of the problem, but he was right, a few days later (and dozens of dead flies), we didn't have a fly problem! We will never know why they were in our kitchen, but we haven't seen a fly since (over a week later). The spray stays on the walls so that any future fly will eat the chemical and die. Leonardo was so kind and helpful. He even called to follow up and make sure our fly issue was long gone. Thank you Leonardo! We would recommend you to anyone and everyone. read more

This is the 2nd summer I have used Leonardo's and I am very pleased. They are professional, courteous and very easy to work with. They are my go to company! Willian has been my tech both times and he is a true rare pleasure to work with. read more

I called Leonardo's first thing on a Saturday morning after having been up all night hearing an unwanted critter scratching under our home. I was very grateful that "Wilson" was able to come out so quickly that same morning to address our unexpected stressful situation. Wilson was very professional, patiently answered all my questions in detail and did a thorough inspection before advising the best course of action. At the end of our service call, he left us with peace of mind knowing he took his time securing our home in every way possible, his caliber field knowledge and excellent customer service. Lastly, he followed up just as he said he would with a reminder phone call as well as coming back out to our residence for another thorough inspection. We since have had no further signs of any unwanted critters and highly recommend Leonardo's Pest Control. Wilson was an excellent technician and I highly recommend asking for him ! #happycustomer #wilsonsavedtheday #thankyouwilson read more

I cannot recommend this company highly enough. The supportive customer service is very comforting -- those rodents are a bit nerve-racking. The quick response time is unmatched! The knowledgeable service people that come to your home (in my case Daniel) are professional and thorough ... and kind. read more

The exterminator said he would show up at 3PM but he never showed up. The only reason I contacted this company was because they were open on Sunday and had 4 stars. read more

Rogelio is the best, I called and explained we had a bad fruit fly issue in our bar. He came out, waited patiently for us to close so that he do his job. He treated the area,3 days later, no flies. The quick response and communication is rare now days. Rogelio is the man, we will continue to use their service because of this guy for years to come. Thank you. The big test is going to be this summer, controlling the flies on our patio, more 5 stars to come, fingers crossed read more

My roommate set the time for someone to come by between 9-10am on Monday. I waited for an hour, and *I* had to call them and ask them where they were. They said no one had us on the books and that someone would there at the house at 6pm. Seriously? It doesn't help that their motto is "we do what we promise" no instructions were given to us, like- vacuum the day after, and water the grass. Daniel told me when I showed up, and I told him to tell Wilson, the lead technician, to improve on communication. They are quite pricey as well. Daniel was a good technician though. I wish they had communicated better with us. read more

Things we look for in hiring a service company? DEPENDABLE? - QUICK SERVICE? - ATTENTION TO DETAIL? - HELPFUL? KNOWLEDGEABLE? - TRUSTWORTHY? - HONEST? Leonardo is ALL of these!!!!! We had a rodent problem (gross) Leonardo was so helpful with his knowledge and handled the problem IMMEDIATELY. I can't recommend them enough. I was frazzled and scared, I called and he was there within an hour!!!!!! Should we ever have another problem, he will be there for us. This is a reputable guy, you can trust him - his customer service is top notch also. Thank you again Leonardo from the Rico family! read more

An honest, personable and capable contractor who does what he says he is going to do...Who knew they still existed? Willian was called out to our house to address a rodent problem and handled the job efficiently, spending a fair amount of time discussing options to keep these pests from returning in the future. He very pateiently inspected the entire perimeter of the house with me to show several possible points of entry along with recommendations on the best types of materials / products that I myself could inexpensively purchase and easily install to save myself the exorbitant expense having a separate specialty contractor complete this exclusion process. Leaonardo's is the only local pest control company I will use in the future! read more

I haven't used their services ..yet but I gave them 5 stars because they were the only ones who returned my call and took their time to explain to me why they couldn't get rid of the bees that are in my home. They even gave me references and advice on what to do about my problem. Thank you so much!!! read more

Leonarda is a flake. He said he would show up Sunday morning at 10am. He never showed up and call until 12. I then told him that I will get out of church around 1 and contact him and he said ok. But I kept calling him and texting him after church and never got ahold him read more

Professional, quick and be gone my pesty wasps! Was on time and very friendly. Trust this guy!

Very rude. Looks like they don't want more business. Very pricey for standard services

Let me start off by saying that the fact that they are open 24/7 is absolutely amazing. The technician that assisted me with my situation was so professional and loved how he elaborated the task he was going to perform. He did an outstanding job. I would 100% recommend Leonardo's Pest Control to anyone seeking professional help. Thank you to Daniel for helping me get rid of my pest control problem, for also being so thorough, and lastly for checking in with me even after the job was complete to see how the treatment was going. Thank you once again from my family and I. We greatly appreciate all that you have done for us and our home. read more

William spoke to me he has a one year contract requirement he said the owner would sue me if i cancelled earlier than one year. I want to hire them to do the service but they just never call back read more

Do not use this company unless you like being ripped off. They do next to nothing except take your money. What little they actually do is use the same products you could get and use from Lowes or Home Depot for about a third of the price. read more

Last summer we had an issue with German roaches. I tried bombing 2 times and finally had enough (of my wife telling me to hire a professional). She was right, again! A young man came and took care of the situation quickly. Immediately, there were way less of them and within 1-2 weeks there were NONE!! Hooray! I don't know if they're afraid to come back or what, but it's been over a year now and still no problems. He didn't pressure me into any contracts. A bit pricey but I feel like it was a good investment into my marriage. read more
