I found these guys through Yelp and a little skeptical with 4 star but after sending a request, the reps were friendly and instantly book me an inspection the next day. Fast inspection and book the fume the next week. Fast service. Can't recommend enough. read more

Nathan as owner is very professional. He well explained the difference among varied termites and solutions to me. After my decision, he arranged the tent very efficiently. Well packed my items, as well. Good experience with Nathan and his team. read more

Mariners Pest Control has been fantastic from start to finish! The inspector was professional, explained everything clearly, and took the time to make sure every corner was checked. Scheduling was easy, they arrived right on time, and the service was top-notch. Definitely a five-star experience -- highly recommend read more

I've been using Mariners for years, and they always do a great job with our annual check-ups. They're reliable, professional, and always show up on time! read more

Charles showed up as scheduled and did a great job. He spotted some termite droppings in our garage and took care of it. We have cellulose insulation in our attic and when Charles was done, there were some small pieces of cellulose on our carpet below. I would recommend Mariners carry a small vacuum or shop vac to clean up afterwards. read more

Always on time. found a festation and treated it. use them every year. great service.

Had Mariners Pest Control come out to our home in Chula Vista for a free inspection. Even though we didn't end up using their services, I was really impressed! Doug was so thorough -- he checked the attic, crawl space, and explained everything in plain English. Super nice guy, no pressure, and just very genuine. Big shoutout to Doug for taking the time and doing such a great job! read more

I called Mariners Pest Control for my home in Redondo Beach after we found signs of termites. The team was professional, punctual, and very thorough. I was so worried about my home, but they took the time to explain what they were doing, pointed out potential problem areas, and gave me a clear plan for preventing future issues. I really appreciated how honest and transparent they were--no upselling or unnecessary treatments, just straightforward, quality work. The technicians that came over were polite, clean, and respectful of my home, which means a lot. If you're in the South Bay area and looking for a pest control company you can trust, Mariners Pest Control is the way to go. Highly recommend! read more

Service with a smile, has serviced my home for years and prevented termites from returning. Arrived on time, very professional.

We had subterranean termites. Mariners meticulously checked every areas of our home including the garage. When it was time to place the underground bait, they sent a very careful employee doing this for 25 years. He was precise and cleaned up the drilling debris. Most importantly he checked the kitchen area for pipes before drilling outside. Also, when they come out to inspect they don't go poking holes in your wood to make more money to fix your wood. They are honest and polite with chalk. After five bids, Mariners was my choice. read more

Mariners does a great job. They come when they say they are going to come, and if there is an issue, they call. The techs are always friendly, and they hit all the areas with termite droppings. No complaint. read more

Charles did a great job with our termite inspection today! Mariners has been our termite guys for years now and trust their service.

Excellent service from making the reservation to the technician. They do an extensive inspection around the exterior of the house, in the garage and in the attic. The technician is friendly and knowledgeable. The cost is reasonable. read more

Thanks Mariners for your commitment. Thanks Charles for taking care of the new findings today.

I am a Mariners customer and have been using continuously for the last 10 years! they are always on time, addressed every issue, nothing but the best service company! so, if you need reliable, dependable termites company, they are the best in my opinion! read more

Charles did an excellent and thorough job on a yearly termite control service. I recommend him and Mariner's Pest Control.

I would like to say that I was skeptical about this business because of the bad yelp reviews. I read through most of them and they are very conflicting! Most people say they are really good, yet some leave 1 stars. I will say that most of the 1 stars are for petty things. Seems like maybe they have scheduling issues at times. However my experience was amazing. I knew I had to get my house tented, and there was a ton of wood damage everywhere. I wanted to get a company that had its own staff carpenters instead of contracting everything out, which Mariners has. First I will say that their carpenters are very skilled. They fixed more than I paid for even! Definitely master craftsmen. The tent company that they use were extremely professional and flexible. Lastly, the guy who came out and gave the estimate was very reasonable and I believe I got a killer deal for the amount of wood that they had to repair. He spent a ton of time walking around my house and had great attention to detail. All in all, I would recommend these guys for sure. The experience was great and the job at the end of the day was done professionally and with great care. read more

I had Mariners Pest Control fumigate my home and also replace some damaged wood. I both instances, the level of service and professionals was outstanding. Nefi did a fantastic job on the wood repair. The fumigation team was great too. Three houses on my street used Marines to fumigate, and after speaking with each of the other two home owners, we are all please and impressed. I recommend them and will use them again in the future. read more

Charles came out and treated for termites. he was on time, knowledgeable and professional. I have used Mariners in the past and they are honest and thorough. I would highly recommend them. He also have terrific advice on sealing some openings in our attic. read more

Mariners Pest control is a thorough and excellent service. They spot termite damage, point out other kinds of damage (water, etc.) and treat it excellently. My representative, Charles is experienced, careful and also has a great personality. read more

Have been a customer with Mariner's Pest Control in Lake Forest since 2019. I originally came to them for annual termite treatments. When some damaged eaves were discovered, they gave me an excellent plan diagram showing how damaged eaves would be replaced. They did the treatment quickly and efficiently. Most recently, the latest termite treatment showed more extensive work would be needed for dry rot in the eaves, probably not helped by all the rain over the years. Much as I wanted to ignore, I knew this would have to be repaired. The estimate was detailed, required extensive repair and was significant dollar-wise. I signed a contract and gave a deposit check to schedule repairs on March 5th. On March 10, the announced presidential foreign tariffs caused extensive stock market losses in my account. I called on March 10, which was outside the cancellation window of three business days, and said I had to cancel the upcoming repairs because my stock losses caused the money to no longer be available. After back and forth discussions with Nathan, the owner, he agreed to refund the initial deposit of $1500 even though I was outside the cancellation window. I very much appreciated that, although outside the cancellation limit, he was willing to refund the deposit which he was not required to legally do. With hope that the market will recover soon, I plan on scheduling the needed repairs this summer. read more

Jeremiah was very considerate and answered my questions before and after working in my attic and garage. Carlos did a great job painting the wood replacement and continued to make sure everything matched. It was a good experience and I recommend this compay. read more

They were amazing, especially Robert Richards inspector and Jerald, the technician, he is very knowledgeable professional and great presonality .I called, and they made time to fix and repair & replaced woods on time the same day they promised to get the job done .I very much appreciate it! I'd definitely use them again in the future. read more

I signed up for the annual inspections and treatment. The technician always comes to our home, on time, friendly, and professional. I feel very safe from termites with Mariner's on the job. They come back for free if there are any concerns between annual visits. Great company! read more

I personally have had to deal with and had some fumigation needs recently. My experience personally is I was treated with respect and professionalism. Everyone was very informative and friendly, I can see the value in their employees. Ashley went above and beyond with her customer service. I highly recommend. They are great. read more

Pests are never fun to deal with but if you have them I highly recomend Mariners Pest Control. I had to have some work done last week and the crew was amazing. They walked me through everything they were going to do and replace. I had a few more questions and they had me call Ashley who was very nice and helpful. Overall they were wonderful to work with and made my overall experience a much smoother one. read more

Absolutely awful. No call, no show! Very unprofessional! We had a confirmed appointment for Saturday morning and no one called or showed up. When we called the receptionist to see when they will be there, all she could do it write a note to customer service and ask them to call me. After 20 minutes with no call, we called back and the receptionist again said all she could do was put in a note to have customer service call me. We told her that this is for a $3M escrow and is now going to cause issues for this transaction. The receptionist then said she would put in an emergency note so that someone would call asap. As of Monday afternoon, we finally receive a phone call from a man stating he "sent a text" to tell us he was not feeling well. After checking the texts, there was not a message from him. I asked why he would not have called but he continued saying "well i sent a text and there's a read receipt". Mind you, this is an office line and not an iPhone so there is no way that there could be a read receipt. I'd also love to point out the fact that both Yelp and their website states a "free inspection" but that is a lie as they charge you. This is by far the worst termite company I have ever worked with in my 8 years of being in real estate. read more

Douglas - inspector showed on time - polite and punctual! Provide detail review of service needed. Team showed up early - which is awesome - did excellent work and cleaned up the site and yard. I am very happy with the entire process and excellent customer service, treatment and repairs. The supervisor - Nefi - was polite and informative and did excellent work! Office staff was very flexible and great price work. read more

mariners is on time and efficient. we called for follow up to our termite treatment, and they responded quickly and spot treated area. would def recommend them. read more

I'm mystified by the continued good reviews for this company. They treated my house in August of 2020 and everything seemed fine. The service was guaranteed for two years, with free follow-up inspections. I have scheduled four appointments for inspections without having any one come out. The first two times they called and said that they needed to reschedule. The third and fourth time they didn't even bother to call. The last time was particularly noteworthy because my call was picked up by a woman and then intercepted by a man who attempted to explain, at length, the life-cycle of the termite and why I didn't need the inspection promised under the contract. I insisted and got an appointment, and once again they didn't show and never contacted me. I understand that the last several years have been difficult for small business, but simply ghosting customers in this way is remarkably unprofessional. read more

My concern for not getting a tent fumigation was due to my security concerns for our home. I bit the bullet and gave a few places a call. Mariners' team gave me tips on best days, times and best ways to secure the house. This team was on time, answered all my questions and help move some potted plants. They provided all the packing materials with instructions. Answered all my questions more importantly their price is very reasonable. Bottomline I would highly recommend and call them for a no cost quote. read more

I had an annual maintenance contract with Mariners for 7 years. The treatment my home received over the last two years was relatively nonexistent as evidenced by another company's assessment & Mariners own person following up. When their employee came out in August 2021 for the annual maintenance, I told him I wasn't going to sign up for a continuance of the contract until after service. He called the company & told them & the company told him to leave (without performing the work I'd already paid for). After an assessment by another termite company that showed extensive termite damage, I contacted Mariners & demanded the service paid for over the last several years. It was scheduled several times, in bits & pieces, only after my almost daily phone calls, and was finally completed on December 8 -- 4 months after originally scheduled. In fact, the employee who had come out the past two years had been let go. I will now look at another company for an annual maintenance contract. read more

Good job. On time and on budget. They did what they said they would do. I will hire them again. Allen read more

We used Mariners some time ago after seeing what we thought were termites. Our inspector contacted us before he got there and as I was on a tight schedule, he was on time. He did a thorough job of answering our questions with complete patience and confirmed that we have termites in our home. Our goal is of course to be termite free and we were given a quote and a termite solution that would work best for us. The work on our home on the day of the job, including team members, was very thorough, efficient and the team completely cleaned up everything after themselves very well. They were on time and finished on our home even a little bit before the initial estimated time. Since then we've had no issues and thankfully no termites. I was happy to use a business that cares for its customer and I would recommend mariners to all of my friends and family that need a company for a termite inspection and treatment. Thank you! read more

Excellent. Mark was an excellent inspector, he really knows all about termites and protecting your home. George cane over and did a thorough job. You are in great hands if you choose them, they have a lifetime of experience. Reasonable price, one of the best. read more

My suggestion is to NEVER EVER USE Mariners Pest Control. Nathen is the owner. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID. I hired Mariners to termite my house. First off they do not do the work themselves they contract it out. If you go directly to the person they use to do the work you can save approximately 30% . Talk to Joe @ 714-914-4467. Here is what transpired with Mariners Pest Control. The company they hired to do the job BROKE OVER 200 TILES ON MY ROOF. Mariners was aware of the broken tiles but never informed me, hoping I would not notice. They had a duty to inform me of the damage, in my opinion. The contract I signed had a clause that they are not responsible for broken tiles. That is fine if they break maybe 5-10 but NOT OVER 200. NEVER sign Mariners contract without coming to an agreement on how many tiles they are allowed to break. We came to a settlement agreement on the damage. Mariners was splitting the settlement with the company that did the work. The company that did the work paid me the next day. Mariners made promises to pay but never did. Nathan had one excuse after another and continued to miss the date that he promised to pay by. PLEASE, do yourself a favor go with another company or call Joe. Get your bids and call Joe. You will save money. Ross read more

Mariners Pest Control - truckload and more of the tiles that were broken. - Pest Control Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Did not do anything promised, had a ton of cob webs, didn't STEP A FOOT on my Lawn and then tries to threaten me to pay a bill and literally to the point of harassment and then send me to collections for a service. They could not even provide and wanted to come. Have a second chance for them ,sorry you're company is a phony. And all the reviews reflect that read more

Okay, so where do I begin. I'll start off with the two out of six things that make your company unsuccessful 1.-Unprofessionalism and 2.- Poor customer Service, which this company has. #3. Not keeping Time Frame - They showed up at another time than the window time given, which brings me to #4- No Show- The employee never showed up. #5- No Communication- They never reached out to inform us that they weren't coming. And most importantly #6- Poor Job done. They sent out an employee who drilled holes onto a second floor hallway skylight window, left without saying or explaining anything and took off. Leaving exposed drilled holes in my home. I contacted the office immediately when I noticed them, by the second person I spoke to, recommended I put toothpaste to patch them up. I was completely shocked. Then she put the employee on 3 way and he claimed he covered the holes before he left. Basically saying I'm lying, like I would climb up a ladder, dig the holes out myself and do such a malicious act. I was completely disturbed by this whole experience and will never use or recommend this company ever again. read more

Last week Mariners Pest Control assigned two of their San Diego-based carpenters to replace rotten and termite-damaged wood on my home. Nefi and Juan spent two days repairing my home using the detailed map drawn by Douglas Hatfield, who is based at Mariners office in Lake Forest in Orange County. In the past I've had my home tented twice to fumigate and exterminate termites. I've been reluctant to use the wood restoration services of pest control companies. They are notorious for only patching areas of wood rot and termite damage and doing the minimum to move on to the tenting phase. But Douglas Hatfield has devised a service that provides comprehensive restoration. Nefi and Juan arrived with a truck full of pressure-treated lumber, tools and supplies. They are skilled, experienced workmen adept at sawing wood, painting and chemically treating areas of termite infestation. Despite working long hours, Nefi and Juan were friendly, polite and professional. I appreciated that Nefi showed me a few, unexpected spots -- not on Doug's map -- that required replacement and treatment. They went above and beyond. Now that this long-deferred maintenance project is behind me, I have peace of mind. This kind of workmanship is pricey, but there is a three-year warranty. And customers are encouraged to call if any problems or signs of termites arise. read more
