We had a persistent ant problem for 2 months where the ants kept coming back every 2 weeks. It was miserable. I finally decided to call a professional and found Marichal. He was friendly and came quickly hearing my frustration lol Marichal was easy to work with, sprayed the solution around the perimeter and inside the house and it worked like a charm! No ants anymore!! I love that his service covers for 30 days so in the event the ants come back within that time, he'd come back for free. The ants came back a year later and I didn't even wait this time and called immediately and again, worked instantly!! Highly recommend - friendly, quick, effective, worth the money!!!! read more

Review on your driver: Came here to say that one of your driver today between 2:30 and 2:50pm leaving Alameda (coming out of the tube) almost hit me driving recklessly. Smh. Wish I could have gotten a license plate. read more

Here's your review in English: We've had a persistent rodent problem at our rental property in Oakland and have tried many pest control companies. Most were expensive, difficult to reach, and not very effective. A friend recommended Mirachala, and we couldn't be happier with his service! His pricing is very reasonable, and he is incredibly responsive--whenever a mouse is caught, he comes the same day to clean up. Recently, we had a rodent issue at our Castro Valley rental as well. Mirachal checked the property weekly, provided valuable repair suggestions to prevent future infestations, and within about a month, he successfully caught the mice. His dedication and professionalism are outstanding! I highly recommend Mirachal to anyone dealing with a rodent problem! read more

Marichal and his son were prompt and professional in helping me with an underground yellow jacket infestation. They were knowledgeable and friendly in helping me get rid of the problem. I've signed for their quarterly pest control service and have they exceed expectations in helping us deal with an ant problem. They provide high value and the prices are very reasonable and service was unbeatable! Highly recommend. read more

We used another big service for a year trying to resolve a mouse problem in our house in San Francisco. The prior service caught zero mice while always being difficult to schedule a visit and always sending out a different technician, often young and inexperienced, who were quite often late for their appointments. I found Marichal via the excellent reviews about him and called. He was able to immediately come to the house, he set traps which, I guess, were better or something, and within two weeks, his traps had caught two mice. And not a problem since. What I love about Marichal is his experience, his friendliness, his dependability and punctuality (always on time) and, most of all, that he quickly solved the problem the other service could not solve. Marichal is HIGHLY recommended. read more

We had been disappointed with the pest control company that we had been using. We chose Marichal after seeing and reading their good reviews. Marichal and his son were great in securing possible rodent entry areas. They were knowledgeable, super friendly and professional. We appreciated the quick response and follow up. Thank you Marichal and Marcus for our peace of mind! read more

I spotted a mouse in my kitchen a few weeks and found Marichals Pest Control through Yelp. They were able to come right away, identified the problem areas, and laid traps for the mouse/mice. They came back twice over two weeks to check on any developments, The mouse was trapped, and the entry holes were patched. I am very satisfied with both the process and the final result. I would highly recommend this father-son team! read more

We started working with Marichal for just about two weeks now and he's a top notch professional who goes above and beyond what you come to expect from a standard pest control specialist. In just these two weeks, he's already caught 3 fairly large rats (two in the picture). Just as important, he's very responsive and doesn't hesitate to come outside of his normal weekly schedule to pick up and reset new traps. He doesn't have a ton of reviews right now because he just started his business a few months back. Hire Marichal for your pest issues and you won't be disappointed. read more

Great service from Marichal! Marichal was responsive, listened to my needs and gave me several options for service, and came the same day. He was prompt, friendly, thorough, and careful with all of my plants, furniture, etc. I especially appreciate how he guarantees his work between services! read more

Marichal is fantastic. He has come to my house and my properties multiple times. He is professional and immediate. I will continue to use him on all my properties and would highly recommend him for spiders, ants, rodents and almost any other kind of pest. Great resource! read more

Mr. Marichal is a local Alameda company. He answered his phone when I called and arranged to visit the next day for our rat issue. The rats had chewed wires on the dishwasher and it needs to be replaced. He was able to place traps behind the dishwasher, under the sink, and in the basement areas. He called me today and came to check the traps and will dispose of them as we catch them. I know we will get them all and I will feel confident buying another dishwasher with peace of mind. And he has a great sense of humor and is very easy to communicate with and work with. So glad I went with his company. read more

Local business and longtime Alameda resident, Gil Marischal, answered the phone at 9am Monday and showed up about an hour later. After waking up and finding splinters coming out from under my home office door, knew we clearly had a problem. Gil investigated inside and outside our home and set rat traps throughout. We caught the giant rat king that same night. I called Gil on Tuesday morning to let him know we had a catch, and within a couple of hours he came to dispose of the rat and clean up the immediate area. He recommended we retain the traps for a few more days just to ensure no additional friends or family were showing up. Gil also made recommendations on how to keep future critters out: cutting back a bush, replacing very old garage door with gaps, and keeping the sliding door closed. Excellent experience. Thank you Gil! read more

We have had an on and off rat problem over the past couple of years. Marichal quickly took care of that. He also handled the proofing where they had been accessing our property. Overall Marichal was professional, timely, and thorough. It was definitely a pleasure having him on the job. His pricing is very reasonable as well. We had several estimates of the job prior to hiring him. The others were literally thousands of dollars more. And he was able to take care of the job at a fraction of those other estimates. I couldn't recommend Marichal more for any rat issues you may have! read more

Marichal is quite impressive. He listens to your concerns, gives you feedback- as well as unsolicited suggestions for the care and prevention of pests- with regards to your home and the surrounding environment. He also went above and beyond with attention to detail when providing the service. Thank you Marichal! read more

I scheduled an estimate and was surprised when I was told he would start treatment right away! Not only had Marichal come over the same day I called about services, but he also treated my house for ants within an hour of his arrival. I was not expecting services to be available so soon, but I was more than happy to be rid of my any problem sooner than I had imagined. Marichal also took time to educate me on how to address the ants on my own, where not to put the baits and sprays to avoid. I was really impressed that he took the time to explain all of this to me. It was all around a good experience, very professional and knowledgeable. I look forward to working with Marichal on my next pest project. I'm hoping to address the unwanted spiders that think we're roommates soon. read more

Marichal was great to work with. He responded quickly when I reached out and came to our house earlier than his usual morning appointment to accommodate our schedule.

The rains came down and the ants came up and Marishal was there later that morning! He inspected our interior and exterior, explained what he would do and answered any questions. About an hour later, he was done. He offered to come back to cover any emerging and remaining issues related to the ants over the next several weeks. He texted later in the week just to make sure that the ants weren't coming back, and even swung through to take care of a couple more trouble spots we discovered later on, all included. It is so wonderful to have someone to call when the pests show up! Marichal was professional, responsive, delightful, and kind. read more

Marichal was recommended to me by another company that was unable to schedule me, and I couldn't be more happier. My house had a rodent issue in the garage, kitchen, and bedroom areas. Marichal came out the same day to set traps, and we arranged for a 1x/week return to check and replace traps for one month. The next morning, several were caught. Marichal came out immediately to retrieve and replace traps. He's been consistently coming out every week for one month now, and I've found him to be extremely reliable, responsive to texts, and a good dude all around. Give him a shot if you need some assistance with unwanted guests in your home! read more

Marichal is fantastic! We had an ant invasion - streams of them coming into our house several times a day. Nothing we did would get rid of them. So we called Marichal. He was able to come out that same day. He sprayed and left out bait. He even did a follow up visit. We haven't seen a single ant since! He's even called a handful of times to make sure everything was going okay. Super professional and thorough. Highly recommend! read more

I am extremely afraid of spiders. not only am I afraid of spiders but I never knew how critical ant activity could be, that is until I called Mr. Marichal for my spider infestation. During the treatment he also noticed and brought to my attention that I had an ant infestation as well. He educated me on rodents along with pest normally around the home and area. The services that he provid are outstanding and he has EXCELLENT customer service. after the first treatment I haven't seen any spiders nor spider webs (which he explained that's a sign that they're dying off) and the ant activity has really slowed down. I highly recommend his services over the top brand pest controls such as termininix and the leading competitor. read more
