Outstanding service. Ethan was prompt, professional and efficient. He was able to answer all my questions and completed the job in a timely manner. read more

Fast and responsive. The owner, Rachel, called and spoke with me personally to explain the monthly service plans and benefits. Extremely cost effective for a peace of mind. The tech who came by today was extremely professional and went above and beyond what was required for my black widow problem read more

Saddleback was responsive and offered a competitive rate. They helped us with a spider issue and we saw quick results.

They made a stressful process as easy as possible. Highly recommend. No pricing or preparation surprises. Went smoothly.

Although I did not use Saddleback Termite & Pest Control for my pre-sale, required termite inspection, I wanted to leave my impression of this company. Like other reviewers, I'm impressed by the integrity of this company. I'd sent out a Yelp request for estimates, indicating in my request that I owned a condo and needed a termite inspection /report for the pending sale. Kevin P responded and was the only person who asked me who the HOA uses to perform exterior termite inspections. Kevin indicated that using that same company would probably be best for me, because - if termite damage were found - the HOA would want that company to address anything the HOA covers... Hats off the Kevin P and Saddleback Termite & Pest Control. They really seem to have the customer's best interests in mind. read more

Absolutely phenomenal professional service where do I begin! Shout out to inspector BO SOUTH. He did a great job and did over and beyond to clean some old borax that turned into "snow" behind my fridge. He went over and beyond and it's much appreciated! Very respectful and I immediately felt safe leaving my house with my pup for him to do his work. Looking forward to work with this company for these following reasons! Glad I found you guys! read more

My technician arrived this morning and did a great job. I've been having problems with ants and yelow jackets and he addressed both issues. I got bittten by a yellow jaquet a few weeks ago and ended up in Urgent Care. He made sure I had to nests. Always a pleasure to see him. read more

I requested a Yelp quote and received many responses but they were the only ones to ask me about my HOA and tell me that I should speak with them first. So my review is based on customer service and upfront honesty completely. None of the other 6 vendors mention that. I am still reviewing with my HOA but if I do call someone to come out it will def be them. read more

Tenting a house is the most definitive way of getting rid of termites, bedbugs, and other critters. Spot treatments can be a hit or miss, and the technicians have to drill holes all over the house to find the local infestations and get all the spots. I chose to go with the tenting route, even though it was more hassle. My main criteria in choosing the company to go with are: 1) hassle factor -Saddleback Termite, made it easy. They inspected the home, gave me all the air-sealed bags I need for the home items. On the day of the tenting, workers even helped with bagging of the house hold items. 2) trust - leaving your home unattended while workers go thru the tenting process can be worrisome. Saddleback Termite, vets their fumigation company, and has zero tolerance for invasion of privacy and theft (they fired a previous fumigation company because someone had stolen a baseball hat). I waited 8 weeks before I wrote this review and I am very happy with this company. Thank you, Yelp reviewers for steering me to this company. read more

This is an unusual rating, as we unfortunately chose another company to fumigate our house. The reason for the five star rating for Saddleback is they were so incredibly honest and helpful and, despite knowing they likely would not win the business, spoke to me several times to give us guidance. Their inspector, Jered, told us that we had a termite problem, but was the only inspector to point out that our lightweight tile roof would likely sustain significant damage. Incredible honesty! Subsequently, I spoke twice to the owner, Rachel, and she was incredibly helpful and patient, answering all of my questions despite knowing I was likely going with a company who also was a roofing contractor I believe I'm ok with who I chose, but I would have preferred going with Saddleback. They seem so incredibly honest, and clearly have the highest level of customer service. The least I could do is give them the rating they so deserve read more

Chris came out to do an inspection of my home. He was very professional and thorough in explaining what he found and what he recommended. He was a very trustworthy person, and I enjoyed speaking with him. I am not sure how I will proceed, but Chris was very honest in explaining that termites found in fences may not necessarily mean that there are termites in the attic or in the home. He was proactive about checking the wood trim around my home, and I felt like I was in good hands. read more

We had Jacob come out to our house the other day to inspect our property and answer some of our questions. He was on time. Friendly and thorough. He walked the whole property and took note in some areas that stood out as potential problems. He was a wealth of knowledge and honest. We haven't committed to any work but if we decided to get some treatments or need anything in the future we will be using this company. As a home owner you take pride in your property and the last thing you need or want is an issue with pests as that can be costly and horrible to deal with worth staying on-top of read more

My usual tech Ethan did not come yesterday, I saw the technician and told him how much trouble we were having with snails, he told me that he had nothing to deal with that problem but Ethan has always treated for that. This technician was literally here for less than 10 minutes. I am not even sure that the traps got reset. I have been very satisfied with Saddleback but I feel this stop was not up to your standards. I rarely post anything but some coaching is in order. Please do not call me about just send Ethan out next time please. read more

These guys are nothing less than fantastic. Kevin was able to provide me very fast and affordable pricing for my clients who I placed into escrow. Thank you! I will 100% be using you again. read more

I was hesitant at signing up at first bc they aren't necessarily the cheapest but they aren't the most expensive but boy am I happy with the service their techs provide. We have monthly services and Roland is awesome. They don't just show up, spray, and leave. They actually assess the situation and use products for a foreseeable problem -- all part of the service, no upcharges. This month our tech mentioned he saw a few ant scouts so he informed us he used pellets in the grass to discourage colonization. Firstly, how cool that he's paying attention and secondly it's so cool that someone has this depth of knowledge. Ants look like ants to me. Money well spent. Highly recommend this service. read more

We appreciate how thoroughly Ethan knocks down all the webs and treats our home to reduce pests and termites. He is always very conscientious and courteous . read more

We had evidence of termites (frass) in the master bedroom, and so Saddleback sent someone to come by and take a look. Mainly, this review is for the inspector Chris, who also ended up doing our spot treatments. He seems very knowledgeable and patient, and really took his time to explain what he was doing. We had a lot of questions and he was happy to answer them. The day of the treatment, he spent about four hours at our house, not just treating our attics and the bedroom, but also replacing some dry-rotted wood trimming outside. From what I've learned, spot treating is always a bit of a gamble. We're hoping, however, that we don't have to resort to fumigation yet or at all. In any case, we'll be following up with annual inspections with Saddleback. read more

I requested multiple quotes through Yelp for termite control. Saddleback responded quickly, took the time to ask me questions, and Was efficient about getting me scheduled the following week . It ended up that I didn't have termites, it was just damage done from the past that was now being exposed from opening up walls. Needless to say, saddleback came out, assessed the situation, gave me some great advice, and didn't charge me for the consultation. Great, honest company. I'll keep Your number for the future. Thank you! read more

Thank you to Amy who returned my online request for information about a termite inspection (and possible tenting). I truly appreciated her honesty and knowledge about those pesky wood eaters. We had a great discussion and based upon the home inspection I had on my, new to me. home we determined that an inspection and tenting was not necessary. Again, I am grateful for her honesty and should I need termite and pest control in the future I will definitely turn to Saddleback Termite & Pest Control! read more

Last year, I was hit with a double-whammy: both drywood and subterranean termites. Given my good experience with them in the past, I gave Saddleback a call. Kevin quickly and accurately diagnosed the issues and provided a flexible set of options. It was a breeze to coordinate with Jewels via phone and email. The first set of treatments were handled by Zach & Mo, who took care of my property and minimized disruption to me by taking care of all the exterior work before efficiently completing the interior work. I appreciated that they called ahead and communicated all the steps clearly. As a bonus, some of the subterranean treatments even took out a colony of ants. Finally, the full fumigation afterwards went as smoothly as I could hope. I know it's too much to ask to never see these pests again, but at least I know who to call when I do. read more

Knowledgeable and provided service to me quickly! Nicole was able to give me a quote for the sq footage of my condo for an Ant invasion. I was happy to get an appointment the next day and haven't seen an ant since my first treatment. I signed up for the every other month Pest Control treatment to keep those pesky ants away. Very happy with Saddleback's services. read more

Used Saddleback about 1 1/2 years ago for termites; work and workers were great. Today started regular service for general pests indoor and outdoor. Tech for initial treatment, Jakob, was great. Friendly, knowledgeable, hard working. Explained products and applications thoroughly. Impressed with Saddleback's ability to select and train excellent people including responsive and helpful office staff (Amy). Highly recommend! read more

I had Termite and Pest Control service for a few years with a company most recently named Quality First. At the end of 2019, the pest control service was "transitioned" to Saddleback Termite and Pest Control. I received a letter in the mail from the prior company notifying me of this change, which also included a letter from Saddleback Termite & Pest Control which clearly stated "Your pricing and service frequency will remain the same as with your previous service provider." However, almost immediately after this "transition" I was contacted by Saddleback attempting to re-negotiate the service because they "didn't offer the same package of service i was receiving previously". They attempted to get me to agree to literally doubling the price of my services. I has been a very happy customer of Quality First (aka Quality Care) Termite, and you can look up my glowing review of them. I find it disgraceful that this company would attempt to strong arm those previous customers into a double the cost contract. I would not now, nor ever in the future, use the services of what i consider to be such a crooked company. read more

Saddleback Termite & Pest Control - Letter from Quality Care Termiate & Pest Control November 2019 - Pest Control Near Me - Lake Forest, California

See all

Bo came out for the first treatment. He swept away cobwebs on the rafters and under patio furniture. It feels so clean! He sprayed the outside only, but said that would take care of keeping insects out of my house. He looked for holes where vermin might get in, and verified that my dog was doing a good job of keeping rodents and rabbits away from the property. He was super nice and friendly. He said it would be either him or the owners' son who would do the bimonthly treatments. I am very glad I signed up with this company! read more

Very pleased with this company. A few months ago, they performed termite treatment for our home. Their employees were very competent, clean, and professional. They also did a couple of additional things over and above what we had expected them to do. A few days ago, we heard what we thought were rats in our attic. Despite the rain, which had messed up their schedules, Bo came out to our home the very next day, which we really appreciated. Thank you! He checked everything out for us. We got a very fair estimate to treat the rodent issue. Highly recommend Saddleback Termite & Pest Control. read more

From start to finish, Saddleback Termite was excellent. My parents home needed work due to termite damage and we were able to schedule an initial inspection quickly. Jared worked with us on the inspection and was very knowledgable, understanding the accommodations necessary to complete the repairs within the parameters of my parents' needs. They charged an incredibly fair price and we are all very happy with the results. I recommend them highly. read more

I just had my house inspected for termites by three companies. I chose saddleback termite in lake forest over the national companies since the inspection break down the list was more detailed, the wood repairs were itemized and done professionally, their office personnel was very professional and friendly no matter how many questions I had or how many times I called. The fumigation was done on time and efficiently. I recommended them to my friends. This is the first time I fumigated my house, but they made it easy for me. Thank you. read more

If I could, I would give this business extra stars! I sent an inquiry Thanksgiving morning and got a response within 20 minutes from the owner, Kevin. He let me know they would get in touch with me the following week due to the holidays. Nikki contacted me first thing Monday morning and was very kind and patient with setting me up with an appointment. Her customer service was top notch! The technician, Bo came and inspected my home for rodents and provided me with helpful information. He gave me options and didn't even charge me for the inspection! He was very reassuring and gave me peace of mind with his inspection. Thank you Kevin, Nikki and Bo. You are the epitome of a great company! read more

I am very pleased with Kevin and his team at Saddleback! His carpentry crew (Jared and Scott) showed up as planned, they were very articulate/well spoken, so there was no miscommunication re the termite/wood repair work. Excellent customer service. I had specific request re the job and they did beyond my expectation. They showed up on time, finished when they said they would, cleaned up and had a great attitude, smiling all the time/very personable. They use a product that kills the termites for up to 6 months. I will pay a reasonable fee for them to do a yearly inspection and inject the product as needed for future termite abatement. I signed up for Pest control service as well, so far so good. read more

This company tented my next door neighbor's house. They had to access my backyard. I have been remodeling my yard and just put new turf in. They poured dirt on my new turf. I had talked to a worker who came by to check on the tent, and made him aware and asked if it would be cleaned up on removal. He guaranteed it would be cleaned. They did a half ass job cleaning it up. There is still dirt on my new turf. I cannot use a blower because of the sand that is used in it. I am very disappointed in this company especially after talking to someone about it. Update.. Thanks for taking care of the issue. I did call your office, Kevin, but it was closed. I was annoyed that I had spoken to the person and he confirmed he would clean up the mess. I cleaned some of it after take down, but didn't have time to finish. That turf is literally brand new. I want to keep it nice for as long as possible. read more

Jacob appeared to be very thorough and informative. I appreciated his professionalism and courteous nature.

Love this company! They've been servicing my duplex for years and every encounter has been a great experience. The owner, Kevin, is very friendly and professional and has always answered every question Ive thrown at him over the years. He has a great staff and his techs show the same level of service, especially Jacob, he always has a smile on his face and is so personable. It almost made me forget he was here to take care of our rat problem. And by the way, haven't seen a rat since they initially came out a couple months ago so they do their job well. Colegio is a cleaner street because of you all. Thanks guys! read more

I made the mistake of contacting another pest control company for an ant problem and they offered to inspect my home for termites. My home was aggressively poked, rafters that were previously repaired were damaged, and I was quoted an exuberant amount!!! Fortunately, I found the Saddleback's sign in my garage and I called them to schedule an inspection. Kevin Pena, the owner, came out to take a look. He was fair and honest and told me that I could wait to repair the damage that the previous company caused. He is not out to make a quick buck but cares about his company and reputation. Not only was he friendly, but his quote to repair some of the damage was reasonable. He really took his time talking to me and was very pleasant. I highly recommend this company! read more

Kevin and the team at Saddleback Termite & Pest Control are great. We received multiple estimates and while Saddleback was not the cheapest (not always the best route to take), they were priced highly competitive and were very knowledgable in this field. We felt very confident in hiring them for the large job required and were not disappointed​. The craftsmanship​ of the woodwork performed and oversight of the tenting process through signoff was great. I would recommend Saddleback Termite and Pest Control for any of your termite work. read more

We've had a major spider issue outside and after a couple treatments they are disappearing! I run a small daycare and the last thing I want are creepy spiders getting near the children. When I go outside for a perimeter check, I see the spiders already dead on the ground. I am so happy about this! Customer service and responsiveness is also very wonderful. I would definitely recommend them. read more

100% satisfied customer. Bo did an outstanding job we we are very happy with the results. The technicians were professional, friendly, & very good at their jobs. read more

Great services and friendly! Done two house today with them. Will come back for third one.

Ethan did a great job. Got all the areas we wanted in a thorough and professional manner.

Five stars is not enough for this company! I set up an inspection with Rachel on the phone. The same day, inspector Bo came to my house in Mission Viejo. He was on time, pleasant and did a thorough inspection. No up-selling or other baloney. He found only a small issue with some entry points that needed to be sealed and gave me good information on how to handle it. After bad experiences with the other national pest control chains giving insane bids to do basic pest control, it is very refreshing to connect with a local company with good people and excellent customer service. I highly recommend Saddleback Termite! read more

They were able to accommodate my schedule, efficiently treated the house and outside while educating me on what they were doing, but best of all NO MORE BUGS! Signed up for monthly service to keep it that way. read more
