Potomac Pest Control has been excellent to work with. We live in Reston in a wooded area behind a lot of trees, so we assumed some level of pests would always come with that. But even with that setting, they've helped us get to the point where we really feel like we can have a pest free home. Our main concern was gaps in the basement that were allowing insects to get in, and they were the only company that said they could fill those gaps. They also sprayed the perimeter, and since starting with them, we've seen a huge decrease. They are professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for effective pest control. read more

We've had John come by a few times and he's always polite, punctual, and thorough. I would highly recommend choosing this family run business! He successfully got rid of the ants that were coming into our kitchen and he even helped move some mulch that was covering our vents out front (unprompted). read more

Tenant found a mouse in a studio apartment. Put out five inquiries on Yelp, and Potomac was the first to respond AND they said they could come out same-day to remove it and check for an entry point. Cost = free inspection and $250 flat fee to plug holes, set traps, etc. John from Potomac came out, plugged a few holes, sets some traps and then charged me LESS than the estimate because the job was straightforward. Quick response, courteous communications, same-day service, more than fair pricing. Highly recommended. read more

Potomac pest has made the initial service a breeze! John is super friendly, thorough and respectful of our home. And as a plus the price is affordable and worth the service. Definitely recommend! read more

Potomac Pest Control - Truck - Pest Control Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

If you're calling any other pest control company, your next call will (or should) be to Potomac Pest Control. They know what they're doing and they get the job done! I would have paid DOUBLE their estimate and would still think I was getting my money's worth! read more

Every spring I have a recurring problem with ants that install try to deal with in my own, which takes a lot of time and effort. This year I contacted Potomac Pest Control requesting a pet safe solution. The technician arrived in the scheduled timeframe and was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. The ant problem was quickly resolved. Very happy with the service provided. read more

John, my technician, has been fantastic. He is responsive, thorough, and caring. He's always on-time and does a great job explaining what he is doing, what the chemicals are, and how these steps will prevent unwanted bugs, rodents, and pests. read more

They showed up on time and helped me with my problem -- flying squirrels apparently! They were polite, thoughtful, and respectful. Compared to other companies I've dealt with lately, they were a much needed breath of fresh air. They will definitely be the first company I call for my future pest control needs. read more

Great experience today with John, who came by for a free inspection. He did a very thorough search for a suspected animal in my condo walls/ceiling, removed a large bird's nest, and laid down a couple of mouse traps - which he thinks will solve my problem. I offered to pay him for his work but he declined, I assume because it was part of his free inspection. Good guy. His high rating seems warranted. read more

I am in a DC row house and every couple years I've got nice. Usually I resolve it myself but I'm renting it out for a bit and I needed to find someone to handle it. Most of my pest control experiences have been bad with them just putting out super toxic poisons in an unsafe manner and charging a fortune. Potomac pest control was amazing though. I wish I could remember the techs name. I was in the phone and we talked through what he was seeing. He found a couple holes in the exterior where my house connected with my neighbors that I had missed and even went into my neighbors home which is rented out and put bait boxes there since we always have mice between our houses. Truly above and beyond. And affordable to boot. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

I submitted a Yelp request call for pest control in my area. Potomac Pest Control responded with a competitive rate and they had great reviews so I felt comfortable moving forward with them. My service was quick and the specialist was thorough in spraying for potential areas. read more

Had John come back for a (new) unexpected visitor. John found and closed the entry. Good as new! John sure all of my questions were resolved before leaving. Thank you! read more

We saw several houses when moving to the area, all of which seemed to have an issue with spider crickets in the basement. Despite assurances from our realtor that this was "normal" for the area, it was not something I was prepared to accept in my home. So, naturally, I turned to Yelp for assistance. Yelp pointed me to Potomac Pest Control. They responded quickly and offered competitive pricing. The consistent positive reviews sealed the deal. Our technician, Blair, arrived on time and did a quick inspection of the house. His expertise was impressive, discussing how and why spider crickets there, and identified additional cricket species we had hopping around down there. He also inspected the rest of the house for any other potential pest issues, including pulling out appliances. Moving into a new place is not always fun and rarely easy, and Blair's confidence that our house lacked any evidence of a major pest issue was what we needed to hear. He was also super friendly! After the inspection, Blair got to work in the basement and the rest of the house, inside and outside. Since Blair's visit, now about four months ago, we've not had a single spider cricket. That's not only a testament to Blair's thorough spraying, but also again to his expertise in identifying the and targeting the assessed cause directly. Incredible work, and I will absolutely seek out Potomac Pest Control again if we have anymore pest issues. read more

These guys are absolutely the best! John arrived on time and scoured my house inside and out for where the critters are getting in. He gave me solid advice and I am following it. Potomac Pest Control has helped me previously with raccoons and bats in the attic. They know the state rules well, follow them to a tee, and affordably get the task done. Strongly recommend this team of professionals! read more

This company is AWESOME!! Very nice people Outstanding customer service and really really fair and reasonable . My last experience was amazing, my house was infested by gnats I asked them to come and take care of the problem But mean time I did some cleaning and used drain liquids and stuff and it seemed to solve the problems but since I asked them to come anyway And the gentleman came and checked everything and he said you already solved the problem so I will not charge you!!!!!! Something very rare these days, that's why I love this company because not only they have an outstanding performance but also amazing customer service and fairness!!! Thank you so much for everything! read more

THey are amazing. I spent one year putting up with mice and they solved it in twenty minutes. The Conquest Comopany is terrible. If you want a solution to mice go with Potomac Pest Control read more

I cannot recommend Potomac Pest Control and John enough! The quality of their service, no matter what pests I'm dealing with, is unmatched, and I can always trust them to be honest and fair. Compared to other local pest control companies, their prices are also unbeatable. John and Potomac Pest are always my first call whenever I need help with pest removal. read more

Cannot recommend John and Potomac Pest Control enough - I chose them based on their stellar Yelp reviews and I am so glad I did. John responded promptly and was able to come to my house the next day. He was professional, diagnosed the issue quickly, and offered a fairly priced, transparent solution. He is also coming back in a week for a free follow-up and additional work to make sure the problem does not reoccur. I am so appreciative and cannot recommend this company enough! read more

I cannot say enough great things about Potomac Pest and Termite Control and John himself. My husband and I moved into our home and immediately had John come out to inspect our home. We have him come quarterly to inspect, but have also had to call him in between visits for a possible animal in our attic as well as to spray in addition for random bugs we've seen (thanks to previously storing our items in a unit). John is always able to come if needed and always does a fantastic job. I cannot recommend a better company and person. read more

I called several pest companies on Labor Day. Potomac was the only one to contact me back the same day. I discovered I had a large yellow jacket nest in my living room wall. The communication was great and they were here the next morning at 7am. I would 100% recommend them and use them again. read more

I've been very happy with the initial visit and look forward to working with you with this company. They are a head and shoulders better than the last " national " companies. read more

John was very responsive, on-time, friendly, and he handled our yellow jacket nest by both using a chemical treatment and then digging it up (no other quotes mentioned digging it up). Price was reasonable, highly recommend. read more

The team was amazing!! John and Blair were professional and friendly and explained the steps he took to take care of the birds in our vent. John, the owner himself, came back immediately when we heard another bird, and came back again the next day to make sure all the birds were gone. John was determined to get all of the birds out of the vent. I really appreciated how responsible and ethical the Potomac Pest team is, I have not seen anything like it, and at such a reasonable price. Potomac Pest is the best pest company ever!! read more

I'm so glad I called Potomac Pest Control. The gentleman who came by initially and the one who just stopped by for a follow-up were both professional and knowledgeable. If I need their services again, which I hope to avoid, I will certainly reach out to them. read more

Great experience from quoting the quarterly pest control, signing the contract and having our first treatment. The owner was great responding to question; the technician was amazing and very thorough. We haven't seen any pests or had any bug bites since the treatment. I highly recommend Potomac Pest Control. read more

Fantastic and honestly-run company! They came to do an inspection for my home and were on time and very accomodating. This is the type of company you want to deal with; not the larger "chain" companies that will try to upsell you on a service you don't need. I will definitely be using PPC in the future if I need professional help or for any type of quarterly service. read more

theres a great reason they got excellent reviews. they helped me get rid of a squirrel nesting on my house, placed a one way trap and came back the following week. couldn't have asked for better work from nicer people. delivered as promised. read more

John was great when we found droppings in our crawl space. Others said it was rats (which didn't make sense to me since we had never seen rats) but John said they were squirrels (which made so much more sense since we see a ton of squirrels on our roof all the time). He found where they entered and set up a safe mechanism to prevent re-entry. He's responsive, fast, and great. read more

I can not possibly say enough good things about this company and John. HE IS AMAZING!!!! I came home one day to find rats in my house. I was HORRIFIED. I contacted Potomac Pest Control and John came out immediately. He looked around, identified the problem, and within days, I never heard another sound. He is not only knowledgable, but he is empathetic, friendly and professional. The very least of the attributes, of which all are amazing, is that they are incredibly affordable. I have told everyone who will listen about John and his honest work for honest pay policy and how incredible he is and I mean it! I have never written a yelp review like this before, and likely never will. I just had to add to the other glowing recommendations because my experience was just that incredible. read more

I suspected a rodent issue at my house and dreaded having to deal with pest control companies! Potomac Pest was across the street working for a neighbor. I asked them to come and take a look, and they responded immediately. Before I know it, they were at my attic, back yard, everywhere scanning inch by inch. I needed some roof covers replaced, wood removed and replaced, sims sealed to prevent bugs and rodents to nest in the attic. The job was completed within a week, smoothly, efficiently and for a reasonable price. I highly recommend Potomac Pest, and especially Blair and his co-worker. read more

AMAZING. I hate mice. Cute...but no. Live in older home. Always a problem. Potomac came out and..poof...gone. All holes filled (he even cleaned my dryer vent "since I was there and it needed it!"). Who does that these days? read more

Took 3 years to find the company to finally solve our ant and cockroach issue, and John did a fantastic (efficient, fair-priced, responsive, on time, extremely capable diagnostics and solution-oriented) job. 100% recommended. Exterminator with integrity and real detective skills. Non-toxic (to humans) odorless spray; he took care of everything, and fast. Thank you Mr. John! You're objectively the best in the DC-MD-VA area! read more

Highly recommend Potomac Pest. They were timely response to messages, and communicated very clearly on the day of our appointment. John arrived on time and carefully assessed the situation (a large wasp nest) in a way that showed substantially more expertise than other contractors I had talked to. John took care of quickly and carefully and did an outstanding job cleaning up. If you're looking to hire someone to deal with unwanted insects, you should go with John. The cherry on top is that his rates are very competitive. read more

John is very professional and responsive. He replied my message promptly and called me back quickly after I left a voice message. He is very knowledgeable and told me the problem based on the photos i sent him through text message. Highly recommend his service. Thank you, John. read more

Very happy with the level of service we received. I contacted Potomac Pest due to a city rat issue in our back yard and within 2-3 weeks, the issue is completely under control and we can enjoy our back yard again. John was very knowledgeable about the issue and was able to address all my questions as well as point out things to consider or be aware of to keep our dog safe. They definitely went above and beyond to resolve our rodent problem! read more

Like all the other reviewers, I seriously cannot recommend John from Potomac Pest and Termite Control enough. I had an Asian lady beetle infestation after moving into my new home and was told by other companies that either they can't help me with the problem or they were going to charge me an absurd amount for it. John was so responsive to my request, and came in the next day to immediately take care of the problem. He went above and beyond, and provided extremely helpful tips. He charges a very fair price and gets the job done! If you are in need of pest control services, John's your man! read more

Strongest recommendation for John and Potomac Pest & Termite. After posting my project (installing raccoon exclusion device on roof vent) on Yelp the Saturday of Indigenous People's Day, John was one of the only companies that would take my call on Saturday and he even came on the federal holiday (Monday). He was creative to accommodate my request & found a way to install the exclusion device without drilling through my fairly new roof. Thanks again to the whole team! read more

Because of their busy schedule, they recommended another company to help remove a raccoon from my customers attic. I'll save your information in my contacts and if I need you again in the near future, you will be the company I call first. read more

They were terrific. Conducted a thorough inspection of our ant issue, treated for ants in our kitchen and outside the house. And they did it for a fair price without any effort to upsell! We'll definitely use them again. read more

We had a yellow jacket nest sitting on top of our fuse box in the basement. It was a delicate operation and Potomac Pest Control did an outstanding job. I liked the fact that the service tech took time to think about the problem and weigh the options. The yellow jackets were dead and gone soon after treatment. Also, the company's estimate was reasonable -- luckily -- because most of the other estimates we received were unaffordable. We will definitely use them again, if needed. read more
