So....horrible smell in our house. Two guys came out and spent over 2 hours at our house, checking to ensure it was sealed well and of course, checking our crawl space and home for a dead animal. They could isolate the smell and location, but unfortunately no crawl space access was in the vicinity of the problem. They sprayed and sealed one area of our home, and they tried very hard to remove the problem, but could not. They were professional, patient with my very excited kids, and were thorough. A few weeks later, still smelling. Another guy came out, and diagnosed our issue was not a dead animal but something else going on. While I wish they had diagnosed it the first visit, I also realize without having crawl space, it is tough. The second guy did not charge me and gave me lots of suggestions and tips. I'd recommend them...and now I'm calling a plumber. Ugh. read more

I called Proof It based on a referral because I had a squirrel in my attic. When I called, I mentioned the squirrel and that I also had a broken duct as a result of the squirrel. I asked if they can fix the duct also, and the gentleman replied that yes, "we do it all". So, I requested their service. Didn't hear anything for several days, so I called again and they said someone would call me early the next week. The person I spoke with also suggested I send an email so I did. In the email I mentioned the squirrel in the attic and broken ductwork. Early the next week I received a call at work that they were in the neighborhood and could they go up on the roof and take a look. I said yes. They called me back a bit later and said they found where the squirrel got in and would flush the squirrel and block the opening for $475. I asked about the broken duct and he said he'll try to fix it from the outside, since I wasn't there. It was probably my mistake at this point to tell them to go ahead and do the work, but I did, as I felt the squirrel was potentially causing further damage to the attic. I came home and the squirrel was gone, but the duct was not fixed. They left a bill for $475 and wrote in "now" along with the service rendered. I called back and inquired about the duct and the gentleman I spoke with said "we don't really do that". And that he'll "give my name to a guy". They called a week later requesting their payment and telling me they "gave my name to a guy" twice. (Don't worry, your check is in the mail, guys). I'm giving 2 stars (not one) because they got rid of the squirrel. Coming to my home without an appointment and then not repairing the ductwork was unprofessional. On top of that, it was crazy expensive. Not recommended. read more

Tim was referred to me by a neighbor on Nextdoor- he was very responsive and in spite of being located more than an hour away from my place, he sent his guy out on the day we agreed upon and he inspected and fixed the problem quickly and professionally. Thumbs up for these guys. Thank you Tim and Ezra! read more

8/19/15 3 stars I live in a condo complex on the ground floor and was horrified one night to see a mouse in my living room. I never saw more than one at a time; however, one was quite a handful. For example, when I was almost asleep in bed, this acrobatic little thing ran into the bedroom (I'd closed the door, but there's a gap under it), jumped up on the bed, ran across my head, and disappeared. Being the wimp I am, I was severely traumatized and spent a night huddled on the couch with rattled nerves. I didn't see the mouse again until the morning, when I saw it run across the living room floor and dive behind the TV where a tangle of wires I guess provided cover. I figured there might be more than one mouse given the drought and all, so I set traps and called Proof It. About an hour later, one of my Victor traps caught the mouse by one foot, which was horrible: It dragged itself back under the TV cabinet, crawled into the baseboard heater, and died. Anyway, Proof It was too busy to come that day but came the next day because I wanted to make sure there were no additional mice and get an evaluation of where they might be able to enter. One of Tim's associates removed my baseboard heater (at my request--I don't use it) and the dead mouse, while Tim sealed off some gaps on the exterior of my unit using thick wire mesh. He also found (though didn't fix) many other possible points of entry elsewhere on the building's exterior. Unfortunately, my HOA did not cover my $300 bill for these services, but I hope that they consider rodent proofing the entire complex. I'm giving a rating of A-OK here because the inspection/repair didn't seem particularly thorough, they didn't have all their own tools (things that would seem obvious like a small mirror, a screwdriver, etc.) and had to borrow mine, and the bill seemed hefty for what was done (though I really have no reference as to a typical charge for this sort of service). I believe it's important to support small local businesses. I would call Proof It again. When I lived in the city, I had a mouse one time in 25 years in my 4th floor apartment by Ocean Beach. That one was very entertaining. It climbed my curtains and posed for me to take a picture. Nevertheless, i was totally rattled to have it running around and pooping. After a couple sleepless nights, many screams, and buying every possible contraption to catch it yet having it evade all of them, I managed to startle it (I guess as much as it did me) and it ran out my apartment door into the hall. I never saw it again. User ratings of my original review (from my old Yelp account, which I can no longer access) as of 7/15/17: Useful: 2 - Funny: 1 read more

Eric and Carlos came the same day, I called another company called Pet Detective and still never received a call back. Proof it is professional, honest and expedient! Palmieri Pest Control referred me and I'm so glad. We had dead rodent under the house that smelled so bad and they found it, disposed of it and sealed all entries. Will refer always. Thanks guys! read more

Tim at proof it was incredibly helpful. A rat crawled into my bedroom at 2am, and my regular service Terminex would not do anything at all. I called Palmieri pest control who referred me to Tim. He came out the same day-we could not find the rat, but he advised me what to do. Then he sent 6 men who spent hours under my house proofing it. After that Palmieri pest control came, and placed traps. They were thorough and efficient. Great service from both Proof it and Palmieri read more

Suspected Racoons were getting into my attic. Eric and Kevin came out, inspected my roof for any openings. Gave it a clean bill of health, and stated the Racoons may just be walking on the roof, and suggested I purchase predator scent and Home Depot to deter the Racoons from coming back. No charge, you guys ROCK!!! Thanks for the info........ read more

This is by far the most diligent pest proofing company i have used i feel like they actually search every inch of the house and go about sealing up any entry points possible to keep the pests from returning and are kind humble people to top it off. Great prices compared to the competition. I would absolutely hire them again. read more

These guys were great so my wife hears scratching in the attic it was 5:00 I called a pest control company and they recommended proof I talked to the owner Tim and he had zoran call me this guy has a very thick accent but he showed up by 5:45 was very helpful by explaining exactly where they were getting in and set traps and made appt for next morning to proof the house Next morning they showed up on time this time it was the same guy from the night before with one more guy and very professional and clean took about an hour and half to do the work zoran then made an appointment with me for a week later to come back and check the traps so I forgot about the appointment and zoran called me the day before to confirm the appointment and showed and I'm happy to say I have had no problems or return of unwanted guests Thank you proof it Robert-- read more

I recently had Proof It (Ezra & Josh) come out to empty, clean, disinfect, sort and restock plus rat proof two sheds. Plus they hauled away all of the junk. I am amazed at how clean and organized the sheds are! I can actually find things and don't worry about rats running across my feet or jumping off shelves. The wire used is as unobtrusive as possible while keeping the nasty pests out which is the goal. read more

We had a skunk crawl under a small building in our back yard and die. Two of his buddies decided to move in and make themselves at home. I tried several home remedies to get them to leave, (not knowing about the dead one) to no avail. Tim brought his expertise, tools and team of helpers to the rescue. Their schedules were packed full, but within two business days they showed up and got the skunks to leave, while fishing out the deceased one, all without getting sprayed. It wasn't a job we wanted to tackle ourselves, so are grateful that these guys knew what to do. Highly recommend! read more

I had Proof-It, come to help me with my "rat situation". It took a while to actually "set up the appointment", but in the end, a man came and fixed all of the things, that he could fix (being that the house if very old). The man who came (Cruz), was very efficient, polite and fast at remedying the problem. I haven't heard any "rat activity", as of yesterday. I feel that he fixed the problem and I am very pleased. read more

Stay away from this company! I had to hire 4 different companies, spend $7,500, and 6 months later I still have a rat problem. I bent over backs to work with Tim, a local guy but after waiting a month for him to send someone to fix the rat entry under the garage door that they missed, and not hearing from him to explain why they haven't come out to fix it, I would give zero stars if I could. First, they don't do construction and my carport/garage needed a footer and door so I wasted months waiting for their recommended guy to get out for an estimate. Their guy said he could do the work for $10,000 - just the construction part. Proof It would seal all rat entry points for $1,000. But they don't trap or do clean up! So I had to pay 2 other companies to trap and to clean up. Ok, 6 months later I think the garage is rat proof so I temporary store a mattress I am donating in the garage for 2 weeks. The person picking up the mattress finds out it is ruined by rats!!! My boyfriend points to the sunlight streaming into the garage under the garage door. He said quick Crete needs to be poured into the trough where the door meets the ground to close the 1.5 inch gap where the rats are obviously getting in. I called Proof It and asked to get here asap to seal the gap and a month later I am still waiting!!!!! I don't trust their work so am having another company come out next week to redo their work!!!!! Nightmare dealing with this company!!!!! read more

These folks KNOW their business. They understand rodent behavior and STOP the problem. Professional, smart, clean and reasonably priced.

Tim arrived the same day I called and diagnosed the problem right away. Honest and extremely helpful. Can't remember the guy that came with him, but he was great as well - thoroughly examining my house and identifying entry points. Cool little JR Terrier "working dog" too! read more

Wow - I cannot praise Ezra and his crew more highly. Proof-it was recommended to me by Palmieri Pest Control as they do not do the cleanup after rats are captured. Proof-It went above and beyond my wildest expectations for rat proofing and cleanup both in and around my house. Every conceivable opening was sealed either with galvanized screening, fixall or flashing. Ezra was very knowledgeable and pointed out some other things that I might want to consider getting repaired. The crawl space beneath my house is now immaculate and I've seen absolutely no new rodent activity. I would recommend them highly to anyone needing their home rodent proofed. read more

Didn't finish the job. Promised to come back to finish the fence patches to prevent skunks from entering the backyard, and simply never did. Nice guy, terrible follow through on finishing the job. read more

We had an emergency problem with raccoons who tore a hole in our roof and moved into our attic. Proof It responded to our call immediately and spent a weekend working to solve the problem. They were prompt, professional, patient, and very thorough. I give them my highest recommendation. read more

I cannot provide input on the quality of Proof It's service because they never showed up! On three different occasions, they told me they would call (I.e., "after 4 pm", "mid-morning", etc.) to let me know when they would come by. I hung around waiting, but they didn't call. With each of the first two no-shows, I called them. By the third, I didn't bother. Unless you have nothing better to do with your time, I wouldn't bother calling Proof It. read more

The company is awesome. I had a major rat problem and PROOF IT worked on my house and resolved my issue. The price was fair and the workers were awesome. read more

Living in Pacifica means living with all sorts of creatures around our home and when I had a mice overrun in our garage this past week I called Tim and his team at Proof It. This was an emergency as I am pregnant, have a toddler and my husband was out of town. I could hear the mice running inside our walls and the last straw was when two of them somehow got caught in the garage door tracking and sent our garage door off its hinges. Tim and his team came over under short notice even with their packed schedule. Were incredibly professional, calm, and thorough. They not only did an entire perimeter review but they also patched up holes and entry points in the back of our house that I would have never found otherwise. They also pointed out a number of issues that I hadn't realized to help deter them in the future as well as set traps in strategic places around our home that have already been extremely successful. While there is no way to eradicate mice from any of our homes entirely this is the best approach I've seen for dealing with the issue so they stay out of our interior walls. And I haven't heard a peep from any mouse inside our home since they were here. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone. read more
