    I've used POW! twice before with good results. This year, to get rid of my ants I obviously called them again. The price has gone up (which is fair) and they do spray the whole house for that price. However, I pointed out the problem area in my kitchen, and the very next day I had more ants than before. I waited a few days to see if the chemicals would take some time to work, but the ants kept coming. So I called back to see if they'd come out to just spray the one area of my kitchen that I pointed out originally as the problem area to get rid of the ants. They would, for a fee (and not a low one). Having to pay one-third of the total initial price of the whole house to have them come back and spray ONE area and actually eliminate the problem for a repeat customer is not good service IMO. It should have just been done right the first time. I'm disappointed in the company. I will look elsewhere in the future I guess. Vis-a-Vis the reply: I appreciate the reply and acknowledge that I was offered a discount on the follow-up service. However, as a customer, having never needed the follow-up service before in 2018, 2020, and 2022, it is disappointing that the first service this time around somehow didn't measure up to previous ones. I had far fewer ants this year and just wanted to get ahead of it. That I need to pay extra for a follow-up I have never needed before (given the amount of ants was way less this year) just does not sit well with me.

    I had damage due to water leaking thru cracked stucco into my window pane during heavy rain. I called this company for a consultation and pricing. They are very professional and great work results. I would recommend this company for any wood repair caused by termite or other issues. Thanks POW.

    Finished product.

    This team has been providing pest control service for my home on Mission Viejo for over a year. Nothing but amazing outcomes from the team.

    Premier Pest Services has been fantastic to work with. We have them treat our home inside and out…read moreevery quarter, and the entire process is always smooth and stress‑free. Our main concern is ants and spiders. Scheduling is quick and easy, and their pricing is very competitive for the level of service they provide. Adrian is the technician who visits our home, and he's consistently kind, professional, and incredibly thorough. He always puts on shoe covers when entering our shoe‑free home, which we really appreciate. Outside, he takes extra care to sweep away spider webs and remove any buildup around the house before treating, those small details make a big difference. It's clear he takes pride in his work, and the results show. Highly recommend Premier Pest Services if you want reliable, professional, and hassle‑free pest control

    I used Vincent's pest control service for several years, starting back when he was with HomeTeam…read morePest Defense. When HomeTeam stopped servicing our area, he started Premier Pest Services West and asked me to continue as his customer. In the beginning, the service was good. My regular service included spraying the perimeter, entry points, garage, walkways, and bushes, removing cobwebs, removing reachable wasp nests, and treating the in-wall Taexx system. Because of that, I trusted him and recommended him to other homeowners in our community. Over time, I started hearing concerns from other homeowners that the service quality had gone down. I did not want to assume anything, so I checked my own camera footage. What I saw was disappointing. On multiple visits, the technician appeared to be on the property for only about 3 minutes. The service did not appear to include the same work we were paying for, including cobweb removal and a full perimeter treatment. In the footage and photos I reviewed, the Taexx cover did not appear to be opened. Instead, it appeared the technician sprayed around and over the closed cover. Several homeowners also complained after reviewing their own camera footage. After those complaints, Premier Pest Services West returned to re-service some of the homes, which added to my concern that the original visits were not being completed as expected. Treating the Taexx system was part of the service we expected, so I later contacted HomeTeam Pest Defense to ask about the system. I was told that former employees were required to return their Taexx keys, and that properly treating the system requires opening the cover with a proprietary key and using the proper equipment to treat the individual lines inside the wall system. Spraying the closed cover is not the same as treating the system. I gave Premier Pest Services West the benefit of the doubt at first, but the same issue happened again. After that, I and other homeowners tried calling and texting several times, but we did not receive a response. Based on my experience, my camera footage, the photos and footage I reviewed from other homeowners, my follow-up with HomeTeam, the repeated visits that appeared incomplete, and the lack of response, I lost confidence in the service and canceled. I would not recommend Premier Pest Services West based on the service we received.

Not Tide Pest! They nailed it. I had an awful problem with pantry moths. I had tried for months to get rid of them on my own to no avail. Bailey said I had been killing the adults, but not the (Eck) larvae. He explained what they'd do and sent an email with everything in writing which I did refer to several times to prep the kitchen correctly. He arrived within the time window stated and was done in 30 minutes. He let me know his eta an 30-60 min before they arrived. He examined my cupboards and hutch thoroughly before proceeding. He cleaned up afterwards-there was only a little bit. Only needed a dust pan Bailey said he'd follow up in a week to make sure they haven't returned. If I do see any, he said he'd return immediately. Very good job and worth it to finally get rid of these annoying insects. I've had to throw out many pantry items and feared buying more/eating them until this was handled. I highly recommend Tide Pest Elimination.

Bailey came for the first treatment and promised to come back as many times as necessary to fix the ant problem - which is exactly what he did. Bailey said, "even one ant in your house is too many, so just call me." It look four treatments over several weeks, but that was several months ago and we haven't seen an ant in our house since. I highly recommend Tide for pest control in Orange County!

They claim that they had been sending someone to spray and maintain the house, but that is a flat out lie. We recently had a cockroach infestation and I knew they hadn't been coming, probably since COVID. We work from home, live in a 24 hour guard-gated community in Irvine that doesn't let any vendors or guests in without calling the homeowners and checking people's drivers licenses. Finally called another pest control company to come out and that technician confirmed that the house has not been maintained. When I called customer service and told them I'm not paying their $140 bill they sent me, they still try to insist that they have been here. They say they will get back to me, and nothing for weeks. Then someone named Hassan calls today to see why I'm canceling and trying to keep us as customers. Unbelievable. They won't let you cancel without harassing you with calls and emails. Zero stars.

I actually called them just for a one-time bee removal job. But they quoted me more for the one-time removal than a one-year subscription would cost, and the removal would be included in the subscription. Seemed like a no-brainer. But once that year was up, they refuse to let me out of the subscription. I tried to cancel once and they talked me into putting my service on "hold". Then, when it was released from"hold", not at my request, I tried to cancel. You call and nobody answers. I email and then they call me and want to talk me out of it. What's the deal? Just cancel the subscription! Total rip off. Bordering on predatory business practices, to be honest. There are much better choices out there. And for the record I'm still battling with them to cancel the account. If they drag their feet any longer I'll be filing case with the Better Business Bureau.
