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

Don't be fooled by the slick corporate image. This is a pretty large and abusive…read morepassive/aggressive pest control company that doesn't get the job done. 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.

I got several quotes, and I decided to go with this company because I could tell right away that Nate was more interested in helping than in "selling" me things I didn't need. They were also the most affordable company I spoke to. Once we booked (an easy online process), the team was out in just a few days, sealing every possible spot for rodents to get in and setting traps. We scheduled a trap-check, but within the first day the traps had done their job, and Nate was kind enough to make a special trip out -- on two different days! -- to take care of things. At this point, 10 rodents later, we are hopeful that the problem is resolved. Highly recommend.

A couple other companies came and used major scare tactics and fully overpriced their services. One of them didn't even do a perimeter check. The other was a smooth talker and made everything sound completely overblown. When Juan called and heard how much these other guys were charging, he told me to be careful. He and his crew came, did a thorough inspection around the house and in the attic, and explained the mild rat problem very calmly and reasonably. No scare tactics, way more reasonable / appropriate pricing, honest and clear with explanations and photos. They sealed all the entrances and set out traps. Within less than a week, I could smell that something had died, and even though we weren't at the pre-scheduled one-week mark to have the traps assessed, Juan went out of his way to come check the traps and found TWO rats that he had caught! The crawlspace was clear and we can finally be at ease that 1) the house is secured; and 2) we are rat-free without some rotting vermin attracting flies. Truly can not recommend this company enough. SO professional, respectful and trustworthy. The best!!

Juan from Pro Excel Pest had recently controlled a rat situation in my attic, and I'm so grateful…read morefor how calm and professional he was during the entire process. When I was trying to get quotes for service and was dealing with poor and long drawn-out communication with other pest control companies, he stood out in the best possible way, promptly returning my call to schedule an inspection and consultation. Juan was also the least alarmist in his assessment of my problem. After the inspection he told me where he thought the rodents were coming in from and then offered a conservative plan of treatment: installing wire screens over those entry points, placing traps in the attic and crawl space, and monitoring the areas for a month to see if the rats returned. Compare this to a consultation and quote from another company, where they seemed to describe my attic as one big hazmat situation filled with rat droppings. On top of the exclusion service, they were pressuring me to do a costly deep cleaning of the attic with an install of new insulation, saying that they were available the next day to do all the work and that the rats would multiply exponentially if I didn't act soon. I didn't feel comfortable with being scared into the hard sell, so I didn't go with that company. (Later on I asked Juan if I needed my attic cleaned, and he said that the number of droppings was pretty minimal, so no.) It's been a month since the barrier screens were installed, which seemed to have solved the problem right away -- during each weekly follow-up visit from Pro Excel Pest to check the traps, they came up empty. And thankfully I'm not hearing any more squeaking or chewing noises in any part of my house. Am so happy with the result, and was happy to work with someone as pleasant, professional and efficient as Juan.

He gave me a few treatment options and walked me through each one without any pressure--just honest, knowledgeable advice. What really stood out was how personable he was. Raul answered all my questions with patience and confidence, and by the end of the visit, it felt more like I was talking to someone I'd known for years rather than just a technician.

Feeling desperate, I researched and requested quotes from numerous companies here on Yelp. After receiving several quotes, I decided on this one company because they offered the best customer service, made it clear that all my pest issues would be handled, and had unbelievably affordable pricing. A time was agreed upon for a technician to come by our home within twenty-four hours to begin spraying a pesticide mix and to set off a bug bomb fogger. The technician arrived 30 minutes before our scheduled appointment, walked the entire property, and immediately got to work. The tech was on my property for less than 2 hours and crawled under the house to spray every single inch. He also sprayed our two yards, porch, patio, driveway, and around the garage. The technician also repaired all basement screens and other areas where bugs can return. While the tech was making these repairs, spiders, termites, and water bugs were seen crawling out from under the house onto my driveway and simply dying on the spot. This went on for the next hour. Needless to say, I was extremely happy and satisfied with the service I received from this company's employee (sorry, I do not recall his name). He was UNBELIEVABLE, friendly, hard-working, and highly committed to resolving this very stressful issue for my family and me. I am glad to report that since I had this treatment performed at our home, I have yet to see a single insect or any other critters anywhere near it.

We first had another company come out to inspect our home and give us a quote. The other company barely looked inside the crawl space and told us it's subterranean termites and that we also have the other type of termites that need fumigation, but we can just do subterranean for now. When they sent us a quote, I think they just offered a 1-year guarantee. Josh from AABC came out a couple days later and was extremely thorough with his inspection. He walked through the entire house and even went into our attic. He educated us along the way about everything from termites, homes, etc. and answered all of our many questions. He told us that we do have both types of termites, but it's more pressing that we take care of the subterranean ones. Since we plan on remodeling parts of our house, he said we should hold off on tenting it until afterwards, in case any new wood has termites. It was comforting to know that despite our house being over 40 years old and having never been tented, there was minimal damage to our wood. Josh encouraged us to get at least a 3rd quote, but we didn't want to. Josh's quote was roughly similar to the other one (maybe slightly cheaper, but he offered a 10-year guarantee! Moreover, we liked Josh and believe in relationships. We felt Josh invested the time to earn our business. His crew came out and treated the perimeter and crawl space. They were quick, efficient, and easygoing. We appreciate dealing with honest businesses like AABC!
