I called John at Ruddock to ask about an estimate for termites. He asked me to send him some picture and was able to identify the droppings as cricket droppings rather than termites. So pleased - he saved me a bunch of time and money and was so friendly to boot. Definitely recommend. read more

Horrible personnel. Called in referred by a close acquaintance and the gentleman was very rude and snobby, told me to call main office, didn't care to help. Will also love to point out that employee has road rage. I've encountered that man a few times, has no regard for other vehicles or is considerate of road conditions. Despite the professionalism I hear from this company, I can't say their customer service from their employee's lives up to it. If it may help, please discipline that man. He's a man in his 40's, drives one of those new single cab ford work trucks with boxes in the bed. Please please, he's going to kill someone or run them off the road. read more

As Realtors, we have used them for years, which says something. They have repeated gone above and beyond especially on large jobs.

Family-owned business and it showed. They are super reliable, efficient with no muss or fuss. Friendly service from the initial phone call, to the actual service, to the payment process. read more

Louie is the best!! He serviced 2 units in our building today and was very respectful, knowledgeable, punctual, made absolutely zero mess and performed his job professionally and expertly. Thank you Louie!!! read more

After waiting for Corky's (which at the time we were customers of) for over a month to get them to come out and do a termite service on a specific location in one of our apartments (mind you we had an appointment) they said someone (who?) cancelled the appointment. I was livid and immediately fired Corky's for our regular pest control service and then researched a new Termite company. While discussing new service with Dunbar Pest Control, he referred me to Ruddock's and I am so happy he did. I am so impressed at how professional, friendly and quick to respond to our problem Ruddocks Termite Control was and I so appreciate them. I will definitely put them on our preferred Vendor listing as their pricing was fair and the service was Excellent! Thank You so much Ruddock's Termite Control! read more

Great, honest company. I was told by another national pest control company I have termite problems and they wanted $2000 to fix. I wanted a second opinion, I saw the good reviews of Ruddock on yelp so I called. They were friendly, easy to schedule, came on time, and did a much more detailed inspection then the other company. Ruddock's people (Louie) told me I don't have an issue and they wouldn't recommend any treatment at this time. Keep in mind the inspection was free. To me this is an honest company and someone I will happily return to for any and all future business. I wanted to take the time to thank Ruddock and the team and wanted to leave a great review. I wish more companies were like this. read more

As a Realtor® I've worked with a lot of termite companies. I wouldn't hesitate to use Ruddock! Professional, thorough and honest! If you think you may have termites be sure to give Ruddock a call! read more

I write only 1 or 2 reviews a year if that. Louie is the best in the business. He's knowledgeable for sure; I asked him many questions and each was answered directly and with just the right amount of information. Even more than his knowledge base is his kind nature. He was also so completely respectful of my apartment and my time, I couldn't wait to write this review. The last service people that were in my rented apartment left much to be desired including (but not limited to) dings in the floor, missing hardware and grime. Louie handled the job and then cleaned up after himself. If everyone were like him, life would definitely be a better place. Thank you Louie for two things: getting the job done quickly and effectively and restoring my faith in mankind! read more

If I could give 10 Stars, I would. Mr. John Ruddock is not just an outstanding company, but it is a company who gives you personal service and treats you like family. I sent Mr. John Ruddock a picture of my baseboards, not sure what was going on. He immediately diagnosed it as "subterranean termites" and said that he could send out an inspector in hour. The inspector showed up, gave me a report and John gave me a fantastic and reasonable price. The next day, the work was performed. They were also able to do the wood repair and I literally could lay down in bed and just rest and not worry about a single thing. Mr. Ruddock took such great care of me and my problem, that I needed to reach out and let others know that this is a company that really cares. It's like the good ole days. Thank you John Ruddock and thank you Louie for your outstanding work. And of course, thank you Beverly for always being communicative and getting back to me swiftly... And I mean, not in a day, but literally in 5 minutes. This is OUTSTANDING SERVICE!!! read more

Louie was prompt, clear, and kind. His inspection of my unit was thorough and he really got into any space he could. Then, after looking at the unit, he asked to see the garage and found subterranean termites in a dark corner. His estimate and the final quoted price were reasonable compared to the one other company I considered. Finally, Beverly, the office manager is great -- easy to work with, quick with emails, and kind. No one wants to deal with termites, especially during a pandemic, but Ruddock's made it all manageable. Update: Luis and his assistant who came out to do the work were awesome. They were prompt and very neat in their prep, treatment, repair, and cleanup. Again, not happy to deal with termites, but very happy to have found Ruddock's. read more

I am having the outside of my house painted and the painter found a few areas that had termites in the wood that was going to be painted. Not having any experience in this area I called Ruddock's Termite Control in Van Nuys, California. The woman that answered the phone transferred me to Louie, who has been in this business for many years. He readjusted his schedule so he could come out to my house in less then 48 hours. Louie showed up right on time, and actually did the termite Treatment himself. A totally professional job from a very professional company at a very reasonable price. If you are tired of dealing with chain type services, Ruddock's Termite Control is a family owned and run company, and you really get great personal service. 5 Stars all the way. read more

Louie and his team are awesome! I needed a quick turnaround for a termite inspection and these guys delivered no problem! Louie gave us a rundown of what he found teaching us how he knew there were termites in certain areas of the house after the inspection. We even received our detailed report in less than 24 hours. These guys deserve each and every star and people should definitely check them out for any termite needs! read more

We had an inspection done with ruddocks where Louis came out to the house. I had made it clear that I wanted the fascia boards removed and I thought it was understood that it would be done. We received the estimate and set a time for the work to be completed. Today was the day the work was supposed to be done. They did not remove the fascia boards the said they will only treat. I called Louis and talked to him and explained that I thought it was agreed upon for them to remove the fascia boards. But even if they can't I want them to still treat. He said he would call them and let me know. Instead they simply left without any notice I called the office to see what was happening where I spoke to John. He told me that fascia wasn't agreed upon and the job was canceled when I told him I would've still wanted to do treatment he said he was sorry and that was the end of the conversation. Do not recommend this company. read more

Louie visited us recently. I really liked his demeanor; straightforward and honest. I had a mild termite problem and he fixed it in less than an hour. He also emailed me a detailed report. If you decide to hire him; you'll never regret it. read more

Gerson has been available for me whenever I needed him. I have rats so he came and checked for ways they were getting in and he set traps. He came back every 3 days to check traps. Once he had just left here and I hear a trap go off. I called him and he came back at once. That's service! He will continues coming back as needed; he still comes once a week even though there weren't any rats to be found. He is beyond comparison. read more

I've been recommending Ruddock Termite Control to my clients (I'm a Realtor) and used them for my own properties for over 20 years. The service is great and John can usually beat the prices of any competitors. When I've been in a jam time wise, he always comes through for me. Also, I know that his report is an honest assessment and not overblown for his own benefit. I highly recommend this outstanding termite company! read more

I actually had a lil problem with John wich was not his fault directly but he is working to fix my problem!! Thank u for taking an extra step !! Amazing service read more

I use Ruddock's for all my termite work on my apartment buildings, my house and my business. Its not a "chain", he does great work and has price usually comes in lower than others when I have to put it out for bid on larger jobs. I just used him on a large condo complex a couple months ago. He cleaned up after working and made all the homeowners happy, even the difficult ones. Most important, no complaints of termites since he was there read more

As an active Realtor in the San Fernando and Conejo valleys, I met John Ruddock in 1995. I have been using them ever since. I have been referring Ruddock's Termite in confidence for over 20+ years. I have found them to be honest, and very fair. read more

Excellent company. Came to our home and did extensive termite treatment outside and inside. Luis and Bob were extremely knowledgeable and did a clean, thorough job. Very careful with our property. If we could give them more than five stars we would. We have had many workmen to our home in the past, and they were the best by far. read more

John Ruddock and Jennifer are great to work with. We recently asked them to inspect our home and they responded very quickly to help us complete the work report before closing escrow. Their ideas about ways to improve the house and repair termite damages were much appreciated and saved us more than $ 5,000 over the Realtor's standard company. John bent over backwards to be responsive and helpful so I recommend his company to both homeowners and Real Estate Brokers searching for an honest service company. read more
