Rudy and Kevin are terrific! We had a rat problem in our house and after trying and failing to get ride of the rats ourselves, I called Spearhead after a friend made a recommendation of Rudy. I called Rudy on Friday and he and Kevin came out on Monday, so fast. They were able to diagnose where the rats were coming from, where they were living, and how to get ride of them. I didn't end up seeing a single rat after they came and did their thing. Thank goodness because having to deal with a rat in a trap is not my favorite thing to do. They were also extremely affordable. We were so impressed that my roommate called them to come to his job to take care of mice issues. We highly, highly recommend Spearhead! read more

Spearhead conquers again! Spearhead came out and treated our ant infestation We tried several home remedies along with store bought You Tube suggestions that just didnt work. We couldnt afford much but also couldnt afford not dealing with the ants every morning. We are so satisfied with the knowledgeable service with dependable results! Thank you FIVE STAR SERVICE read more

When I discovered termites in my house, I decided to use a big brand company for termite treatment. So I contacted Orkin, Dewey, Terminix and Western. Orkin - did not show up for the first appointment. I had to flag an Orkin lady who came to visit my neighbor's house. Orkin estimate was outrageously high. It was the highest I got. Dewey was second highest, Western did not show up and Terminix was still very expensive. So I decided to seek estimates from smaller local companies. Several did not show up for their appointments or did not reply to my emails. They treated me as if they did not need my business. I had to call several times to virtually beg to get some answers. Among the ones that actually showed up only one really stood out. Spearhead was very responsive to my inquiries, answered emails and texts promptly and unlike many others knew its stuff. It was also the only company which discussed the option of local treatment though I opted out for a full tenting. I went with Spearhead and never looked back. It was a good combination of price and service and the company had been eager to earn my business. In Ventura Co - it is Spearhead. read more

Spearhead Pest Control - Spearhead - Pest Control Near Me - Ventura, California

We had the kind of pest problem that no one wants to have or talk about. We tried in vain to handle it ourselves and nothing worked. Feeling defeated and at our wits end, I turned to the Internet to search for an exterminator specializing in the pest we were dealing with. This company had great reviews so I took a deep breath and called. Rudy answered the phone and put me at ease right away. He cane out the same afternoon to check out the situation and gave us a bid. He was able to start right away. The process took several visits over the course of a few months, but he stuck with it and was great at following up to see how things were going. The multiple visits did not exceed the original amount he quoted nor did the cost. Everything went as he explained up front that it would. Most importantly our problem is gone! Honestly, Rudy is a super kind guy who really, really is an expert in his field. His knowledge and passion for what he does is apparent and really made us feel like we were in capable hands. Our situation was stressful and he handled it with a calm, expert demeanor that was very reassuring. I learned more about bugs than I thought I'd ever want to know. I highly recommend Spearhead Pest Control, if you are unfortunate enough to need an exterminator. read more

Wow, these guys are great! I called them for an estimate on a Saturday and got a call back in just a few hours with a clear and fair estimate. They came out, and helped us address or aunt problem within a day. Rudy, who came out with one of his team members was supremely nice, very clear in what he was doing, and answered all our questions earnestly, especially relating to any potential toxicity for our kid or dogs. Pricing was equally reasonable. Highly recommended! read more

I have called this person twice after the first time he Came and he did decent job and thought great found a dependable person then months later I called for him to spray around the house and was told to call someone else, ! and then I called him again I he doesn't even answer the phone or return calls I guess he doesn't want to work he's pretty wealthy read more

I've used Rudy twice now - once for my home to deal with ants (probably 4 months now without seeing a single one) and for my rental property which was COMPLETELY overrun by fleas and ants. The rental has a huge yard and it was no small effort to treat. Rudy charged a little more to tackle everything but he knew he'd have to make a return trip for another battle. It was obvious that this was a major effort. He probably didn't know he'd have to make 3 trips! But the third trip he came out on Labor Day long weekend, no complaints, no extra charges total professional and took care of business. I'd happily recommend Rudy as he stands by his services and charges a fair price. But his willingness to come out on the afternoon of a Saturday on a long weekend was above and beyond. That's quality service. read more

Excellent service, very considerate and knowledgeable! Price might be a little higher than other companies but he's thorough and comes back as many times as it requires to get ants and rodents out of your house. read more

We were provided excellent service by this company. We have never needed pest control until this year. Over the summer we discovered there was a rat scavenging through our kitchen cabinets. We are glad we called this company because they were able to come out to our house the same day and investigate. Rudy is very knowledgeable and taught us how to keep this from happening again; he easily solved the problem! This week we had a major ant and fly infestation and were again provided prompt, excellent customer service. We are extremely satisfied with this company. The prices were very reasonable, especially for weekend service provided within 24 hours of calling. read more

We started using Spearhead Pest Control about 2 years ago after moving into a home that previously had no pest control service. Ants had been a problem, spiders... all the usual suspects. We have used EcoShield and Orkin in the past and were never extremely satisfied, and even though we were on monthly service at one point we seemed to always have lots of spiders. So when we moved I decided to look elsewhere and came across Spearhead here on Yelp. Rudy made a great first impression; was quick to respond, knowledgable and friendly. Pricing was just tad more than I was paying previously, but not by much and Spearhead doesn't tie you to a contract, so I decided to give them a shot and scheduled our initial treatment prior to our move-in date. Since the house didn't have any pest control prior to us moving in, for the initial service I asked Rudy to do a full interior treatment in addition to the exterior. I also asked him if he could treat other things like the mailbox (which we had found a black widow in - eek!) and the trash barrels that had ants and webs on them. He gladly did it all, and we immediately saw amazing results. Carly has done all of our services since the 3rd one, and I love her. She always calls a couple of days in advance to remind us of our service appointment and is so friendly. More importantly, she does a thorough job, moving outdoor furniture to properly treat it, cleaning webs/spiders off our kids' play structure, etc. - things the other companies never did. We have been on a bi-monthly treatment "plan" for the last 2 years, and only twice I've called to have them come do a service prior to my scheduled one due to increased activity - which can be attributed to many things. I'm beyond happy with the service and results we get from them and absolutely recommend them. read more

It has been just about three months since Rudy first paid a visit to my residence for an ongoing ant problem. My attempts at eradicating the ants failed multiple times even though I tried every spray, bait, and trap that I could find in local stores. After speaking with Rudy, he promised that he would be able to help solve this problem. Though I had been massacring these little ants on the daily, it seemed that their reproductive capabilities were infinite and they would always find their way back to the same fields where their brothers fell. Rudy described my issue as a "fractured colony". This essentially means that I was only killing the grunts and the main forces were still very much active. Rudy said that once he wages war on the ants, they would not be able to survive. And they didn't. Once my home was treated, the ants rapidly disappeared and I have not yet seen any trace of them! Perhaps they are rebuilding their forces or perhaps they are gone forever, but Rudy 100% delivered on what he promised. The spray he uses has no odor and we did not need to spend any days out of our home. The entire process, both inside and outside, only took about an hour! If you contact Rudy at Spearhead Pest Control, I feel confident in saying that you will not be disappointed. read more

I've used Rudy & Carly for years. I am never disappointed. I appreciate their knowledge and response time. I will never use anyone else.

Rudy is the best! My husband and I encountered an unexpected pest issue in our home. Rudy was quick to respond, very knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend him and his services! read more

Rudy is the best around. He inspected & did our pest control, but then went way beyond expectations explaining everything and making recommendations to my wife. I'd recommend him for any/all of pest issues! Thanks Rudy! read more

Ants get so bad at my house. My boss used Spearhead at our store so I called and had someone out the same day after I got out of work, which was really helpful. No one else I called had after business hours available. 2 weeks later and still no ants. It's huge bargain compared to the bigger companies, too. read more

Huge savings. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post prices, but I was paying $95 every other month, and switched to Spearhead for $55 for the same thing! That's almost half off. Even better is our new guy is really into Pest Control and knows his stuff. I could tell he loves his job and takes it seriously. I'm picky about who I let in my house because of past experiences but I feel really comfortable with Spearhead Pest Control and I recommend them highly. read more

We work hard to support local, family owned, small businesses so we were happy to find Spearhead. We wanted safe, effective results but also wanted to make sure we never overpay. After a few hours of research we spoke to a gentleman there and he made the process easy. No more termites at our rental property and we never had to leave our house here in Boise. 5 stars for easy, effective and responsive service with reasonable pricing. We're happy customers. read more

I was overwhelmed with the pest problems we had in our home and was quoted a ridicules amount of money from another company. I call Spearhead Pest Control and he came out the following day. He was very affordable, friendly and professional. I was at ease throughout the entire process. He walked me through everything and made sure I understood what I needed to do in my home for the after care. He made more then one visit to my home making sure my pest problems were completely gone. It was well worth every penny read more

We like to use local businesses for our needs whenever possible. Spearhead is top notch and very responsive. Rudy is an expert in his field and very knowledgeable. Most importantly, he's honest and won't try to upsell you for unnecessary services. If you have pest control needs, Spearhead is the way to go! read more

Well I had three separate wasps nest around my home. I had originally had it set up that another business was going to come out and remove them and was quoted an amount .They were supposed to show up on a Thursday. Well I never got a phone call and they didn't show up and I waited to let them through the gates to get into the yard half of that afternoon. I called them Friday because they had closed on Thursday when I had realized they were not going to show up. Then on Friday I was told they were booked and wouldn't be able to make it to my place until Wednesday almost a week later. So then I chose another business which I found here on Yelp. I spoke with Rudy, and he said he would be able to come later that afternoon and his prices were better than the competitor. He was knowledgeable and very professional. I would gladly recommend this business to all . read more

Rudy has handled many jobs for me over the past year. His services have been top notch. He always responds in a timely manner and his treatments work! He is honest, flexible and often goes above and beyond. I will continue to utilize Spearhead Pest Control for years to come. Thank you for all of your hard work Rudy! read more

Rudy is the Expert! He is very professional and thoroughly assess and explains your pest issues. He worked with us until he resolved our rat problem and made sure we knew what measures to take so they don't come back. I have and will continue to use him and recommend him to other friends and family. read more

Rudy unfortunately wasn't able to work on my house because of being in Ventura County and we live in Carpinteria. But he still stayed on the phone with me for over 10 minutes talking through my situation and giving me advice on the next best person to do the job in SB County. A lot of places wouldn't have took the time to do that after realizing they didn't have a sale. He was very professional and gave me an average quote that he would have gave on my bed bug situation so that when I talked to other companies I would know the ballpark price I should be in. If your in Ventura County and have a bed bug issue Rudy at Spearhead Pest Control is the man to contact! Thanks again for all the help Rudy! read more

We can't thank you enough for you fast and efficient service. Our home is a much happier and more comfortable place not that our bug infestation has been remedied. I would recommend you highly to anyone who has any kind of bug or insect problem. Thanks again read more

I called for service on a Friday afternoon and received service on Saturday morning. We just moved into our home the day before and saw lots of ants. We learned during the service that there were colonies under our pool, under our home and around certain trees. Within 24 hours, the millions of ants were gone! I am so thankful for such prompt, courteous service. Very trustworthy, knowledgeable and I highly recommend! read more

Rudy is my hero. During what has been a particularly buggy summer, spiders and ants were becoming a serious issue. They were mostly in my yard, but I started seeing 3 or 4 in the house every day. I hate chemicals and the last thing I wanted to do was call an exterminator--until I saw a false widow living under the lip of a hanging planter (their favorite hideout). I found Rudy on Yelp and I'm so grateful I did. He arrived on time, clean and crisp and 100 percent pro. Rudy's a bug geek and totally relaxed about the business of destroying all the nasties. He puts me at ease and his customer service is exceptional. So he explained in detail what he would be doing and what to expect. Overnight the ants were GONE and dead spiders continued to appear around my home's exterior for a good two months. But then things took a terrible turn: roaches. I thought it was the lack of spiders but Rudy said no, I probably brought them in the house from a grocery store. Yuck. I don't do roaches. Again, being sensitive to my concerns, both financial and regarding chemicals, Rudy worked with me and very quickly eradicated my problem. I can relax again in and around my home.There's more to tell, but suffice it to say, Rudy is a bona fide superhero bug buster. Look no further for your pest control needs. He is the absolute best. read more

Great work - we had Rudy out for our severe ant problem at our house, and he cleared up the problem in one day and explained everything in detail about how to keep them away in the future, where the ants were coming from, etc...he offered to also exterminate our spiders, but I explained I liked our spiders and find them a beneficial pest - and true to his word, my spiders were left alone (again, this was MY preference!) Price was reasonable, customer service was polite, friendly, and they were quick to respond. So, it was a no-brainer when our rental unit had an ant and flea infestation after prior tenants moved out. Rudy quickly came out and took care of everything and explained everything again. He also let me know fleas sometimes need second treatment, and this problem was so severe, he figured he'd be out again. Indeed he was, but when he came to spray for the fleas a second time, he did it free of charge. Very good service, we felt very taken care of and in good hands. Highly recommend. read more

Called this morning for help with a possible rodent problem in our attic. Rudy was able to come to our house within a few hours and was very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend! read more
