Speedy's Termite Control monologue: When I discovered I had termites, I was perturbed. I did the inevitable tedious job of checking reviews, making calls and answering the same questions over and over. I was dreading the cost and the inconvenience of how long I thought the tenting process would take...so I thought. When I called Speedy's Termite Control, I spoke with Robert. Immediately, I was put at ease. His passion for his work and his business was beyond evident. After receiving some preliminary information about my concern and the size of my houses (front house had termites and back house for precaution), he explained the tenting process from start to finish - he personally would make a visit to verify the termites and assess the damage, explained the gases that would be used and how they worked, his warranty, the length of time I would need to be out of the house, the process involving the gas company, and requirements for pre and post tenting which included how to protect my food. I was even privileged to hear why Robert established his termite business. Makes sense to me! You're hired. I wish I personally knew more people that need termite tenting service. Then I remembered, I have Yelp cousins. I'll tell them who the call. So, cousins, call Speedy's Termite Control. You won't need to make any other calls. Happy tenting! P.s.- I watched the team put up and bring down the tent and all the prep work in between. Fascinating and quick!! They were so efficient and seamless. read more

Set up appointment with Robert for some termite activity on my patio post. He told me I could do it myself and gave me tips as his services wernt needed. His honesty is hard to come by now days , he could have taken the job. If I ever need any professional services I will be given him a call! I would highly recommened this company. read more

Very honest and literally speedy in setting up and arriving for a consultation. Would very much recommend to anyone in need of this service. read more

Requested an inspection and quote, which Robert helped me with. He was amazing and honest that no work was needed. He even educated me a bit and recommended some products to help patch up some old termite damage. Had a great experience with them even though I didn't purchase anything. I'll definitely come back. To them when I do need work done. read more

I scheduled an appointment for a termite inspection and Speedy Termite Control was able to accommodate one right away. Robert was the inspector who showed up and right away he was able to make me feel at ease with what I thought was an infestation. He provided professional advice on how I could manage the situation myself and was honest enough to let me know there was no serious threat. I will definitely apply the method of control he provided and if the problem returns I will not hesitate to give him a call for his professional services. Thanks again Robert for your quality visit. read more

Robert squeezed in an appointment for me during the busy 'termite mating season.' He responded to my texts right away and gave me sound advice. Unfortunately, my HOA is contracted with another termite service, but the free inspection was useful. Out of all the project solicitations, Speedy's Termite Control responded the quickest, and treated me like an actual human, not a number. Would definitely recommend. read more

Sometimes you have to give a review not because of the work they did, but because of the work they didn't do. In the particular instance, Robert and Vanessa continually proved themselves to be a business with morals and a conscience - which is a rarity these days to choose people over profit. Background: I initially reached out to them because I was having issues with Terminix at our rental property (we had a service plan with them - which I advise to no one, they are horrible) and were desperate to get a termite issue remediated. I had reached out to see if they could come out, do and inspection and then treat the house...but you know what Robert said? He said, no - not because he didn't want to do the work, but because what we had asked for was inaccurate based on the direction from Terminix, and he suggested that we make them liable and responsible, which we did...and we're still dealing with. But this was easily an opportunity for them to just say yes, do the work. and then get paid. But they do the right thing then take advantage of a situation. Cut to today... Once again, at our house now, and due to some paranoia and anxiety from our rental property, I saw flying termites outside and reached out to Robert and Vanessa to schedule an inspection, and they asked me to send photos of what I saw, then tried to reassure me that it was okay, it's the season, and we should expect to see them outside, but because I am paranoid now, I insisted on an inspection, which they said they would and scheduled me for the first available. I believe inspections are complimentary, so I know that they are investing their time for potentially no immediate payout (but they did make a huge fan and evangelist in the making), and will only suggest things that are necessary because seem like a business run on integrity and honesty. Either way, 10 out of 10 would recommend them to anyone. read more

They are very responsible in all the works! Robert is the man who communicates well and responds quick. He gave us instructions for termites fumigation, what we need to do before and after. He is very professional and reliable person to ask for pest control. Never disappointed! read more

Had an inspection by Robert Tienda and he was very professional, knowledgeable about the problem (in the wall infestation) and provided excellent recommendations that saved me significant $$. Highly recommend. read more

Robert is trustworthy, reliable and communicated clearly. He showed up to our home on time for an estimate. He explained clearly what he saw and did not try to oversell me on a service I did not need. In fact, we did not need his services immediately and I appreciate that he was honest. He earned my business and I am saving his card for when we might one day need him and will be referring all friends and family to him for their needs. Thanks Robert! read more

couldn't ask for greater service. Vanessa was friendly and helpful over the phone to set up our appointment. Robert was friendly and professional during his inspection. all was explained in detail to prepare for our fumigation. on the day of, the team was also helpful and ensured all was ready for the tenting before we left. since we did not shop around, we cannot say if pricing was competitive. however, the price was much lower than expected, and there was never a push for services we didn't need. Robert even suggested a different route for a portion of work that would save us money. that type of honesty shows how they go above and beyond for their customers, and is greatly appreciated. again, extremely satisfied with the service we received. if needed, we will definitely return to them. thank you so much, Speedy's. read more

Speedy is literally name of the company and i sent a request and robert came out the next day, gave an estimate and started work a few days later that same week. We had some trees and shrubs that were blocking the tent so he had a gardener come out and cut everything and was able to tent as original schedule. I really appreciate robert honesty and straight forward communication and he kept me updated. I hope these termites are dead for good but he also carries a guarantee in case they do come back - thanks again read more

Great service and friendly staff. They went above and beyond on our service. I recommend them for you termite control needs!

Speedy service, great price and most importantly is on time. Very professional and you can tell the inspector got some experience in him.

I contacted Speedy's about a small termite issue that I found in my house. They responded very fast and provided a prompt time and date for service. Robert is who showed up to our house. He was nothing but professional, kind, and extremely helpful. He is exactly who'd you want to work on your home and for your business. Thank you guys! read more

Robert came over to provide an estimate for us and was wonderful. He was honest, thorough, and explained things in a way that was easy to understand. He let us know that we didn't actually need his services at this time, but provided information on what to look out for in the future that may indicate we do need termite control. I will forever recommend Robert to anyone looking for termite services, and if we ever need them he will be the first person I contact! Thanks Robert! read more

Robert from Speedy's is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and honest. I frantically called around the area when I found what I thought was wood boring insect frass around the frame of my closet. They were the only company with same day availability and immediately scheduled Robert to come out. He got there early, examined my apartment, and concluded that I don't have termites (yay!!) I absolutely thought I did, so the fact that Robert could've easily just done the service and charged me but DIDN'T means a lot. He also kindly explained what the issue could be and referred me directly to a trusted company. He spent a significant amount of time making sure I understood everything before leaving. Even though I didn't get a termite service this time, if I EVER have a termite problem or know someone with one I'll be coming here! read more

Robert was the only exterminator who agreed to meet me on a Sunday. He was honest, humble and professional. Because of the positive experience, he will be servicing all of our properties and be the sole recommendation we make. Highly recommend read more

Robert was so helpful in helping us with our termite inspection and treatment. He was indeed speedy! Came out a couple days after the inspection to do the treatment and was done in about an hour! read more

Vanessa was a pleasure to talk with here on Yelp. Robert was also great to talk with over the phone and during the inspection. He was very helpful and answered all my questions. He and the fumigation team worked quickly and efficiently. Robert even gave some tips and recommendations for other things he noticed while doing the inspection. read more

Robert is incredibly helpful and insightful, he came over and did an inspection of my house, walked me through the damages, explained the process very patiently. Even though our timeline didn't quite align, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for future jobs (fingers crossed though I wouldn't have to deal with termite in the future). read more

good communication, up front about prices and referred me to a different business to do the wood repairs.

To Speedy Termite, there is no point in contacting you since the damage is done--to my home; during the two visits by Robert, there was no real inspection just collecting money and a quick spurt of bora-care with a personable smile. I was duped. I have since had the house tented by a different company and have researched the Bora-Care treatment only (which by the way only costs $100 on Amazon) to find out it does not treat drywood infestations and needed to be applied evenly to the wood--which it was not. read more

The owner responded to my quote request on Yelp super quickly. She got me in touch with the technician who specialized in my queries. Basically I was looking at half day turnover of scheduling an appointment 3 days out (Western Exterminator and many other local companies charge $50-80 for inspection and respond less quickly and/or cannot get to you for at least 2 days to 2 weeks). I ended up resolving the issue with a faster responding company with better availability but the technician here also said if anything else, feel free to still go with a second opinion and they'd match the price from the other company. It turned out I didn't have as big a pest problem as I feared but if I did I'd probably go with this company. Everyone was very caring and polite and they offer green/eco conscious options!! This is a big deal for me in the area, as you will notice of dozens of local companies that literally this is the only one who offers green solutions. They operate their business mindfully in ways other pest businesses should model from their customer service to the technical aspects. Of course it depends on your issue and the professional usually determines if the green option is viable for your problem. But just glad it's an option. Even though their appointment for an inspection wasn't immediate I felt the conversation with the technician Vince really helped because he was knowledgeable and listened and this was the only company I didn't mind waiting 3 days for because they quelled my anxieties (pests are called pests for a reason). It was understandable because they're a local small business who are very booked but were still not too busy to figure out my problem as much as possible over the phone before the inspection. read more

Mr. Robert Tienda is by-far one of the best exterminators I have ever known of. He inspected my primary house in Fountain Valley on 9/24/2018 and provided a professional opinion with several options that could help us to get rid of all termites found in the garage attic and the shed. Eventually we made a decision to fumigate the 2-story house. Also, Robert himself helped us to spray wet Bora-Care in the attic, garage, poolhouse, and the shed as a preventative method after the fumigation. The fumigation was completed quickly and very professional. Our family is very happy with his service. Robert is very professional, friendly, and would go beyond his responsibilities to help us anyway if he could. I'm really thankful I found him! Highly recommended! read more

I contacted over 10 different termite companies and Robert provided the cheapest quote with the best over the phone service. Robert not only matched but beat the price offered by Pacific Termite. But Robert went a step further and provided some additional services for my property and did everything very quickly, as I was on a tight schedule. I cannot thank Robert enough for his great work. He is very knowledgeable and very kind. I highly recommend him. I will make sure to contact him in the future for any additional work. read more

Robert from Speedy's is very responsive and takes a lot of pride in his work. My husband and I are very pleased with the work he did in our home. He is definitely someone we trust and will recommend to family and friends. Pricing is fair and responds quickly. read more

Can't speak to the quality of their work as I didn't hire them, but good communication and fast responses when setting an inspection appointment. Robert arrived within the time window we set and was honest and upfront - didn't feel like he was trying to sell me on anything. He took the time to look at the problem area and took the time answer my questions. In fact, he suggested I contact the termite company that originally did the treatment to do an inspection and if needed, to get them to do a treatment, as I might still be covered under their warranty, but his opinion based on his experience was that I didn't have an infestation. Quality of consultation - 5/5 stars. read more

I chose Speedys termite for their great reviews. I had an another estimator coming out but cancelled the appointment cause I chose to go with Robert, so I can't say if they are cheap or expensive because I have nothing to compare it to. I hired Robert because I felt comfortable with him hes very personable and cares about his customers. We got along pretty good he stood over an hour during the estimate with me and my husband talking about God, life, business, etc. It was a pleasure meeting him he even recommended his tax lady to us. read more

I just have a service from Speedy's termite company, so happy that I got the good service and good job from this company, and the inspector Robert Tienda is awesome guys to deal with. I just want to recommend to whoever needs termite should call this company! read more

We called Speedy's Termite after getting quotes from 2 other companies. Robert came out and he was very professional and informative. He gave us a great price (cheaper than the other companies) and he offered more services than the others. Robert is reliable, punctual, and very honest. He treated our home for drywood termites and subterranean termites. We opted for his green solution treatment, the biggest reason being that we didn't want to leave our home and pack up all of our food for a fumigation. The green treatment was very convenient and effective, we have not seen any termites since. Thank you Robert, you and your team did a great job. Great customer service and attention to detail, would definitely hire again. read more

Robert from Speedy Termite came out to my home to solve the problem with our termites without having to move out or tent the house. Robert was very kind and acknowledgeable and explained everything that he could do. I had my home sprayed with a green product and I am very happy with the results. A big plus as that they got back to me right away and did the treatment the following week. read more

Robert answers the phone. He provided great customer service. He provided a great alternative to tenting. We didn't have to throw out our food. He worked with our contractor and went up and beyond to make sure our home was protected. I just called him out and he responded immediately. He remembered the problem areas and made sure that I remind the contractor to fix it. Good guy too. read more

Called for an inspection and Robert came by and answered all my questions that were cause for concern. I ended up not having termites and appreciated the honesty. A business trustworthiness and reliability are of the up most importance and that's what I saw with Speedy's Termite Control. read more

Robert is the man! I'm a general contractor and needed to get a house tented asap, but we also needed someone who would not trample over the newly installed roof tiles. Robert delivered everything he promised. We got the house tented a couple days after the inspection, which worked perfectly with my schedule. All my projects will only be done by Speedys Termite when needed. If you want a rapid response, a quality fumigation, and expert service call Speedys Termite Control. read more

Ended up not having termites just fly ants and the inspector let me know they'll eventually go away and to try windex. Appreciate their honesty and would contact again if needed. read more

I highly recommend Speedy's Termite Control. Robert was so personable and made sure I was 100% happy with his work. We had a couple of hiccups but Robert was always available and kept me updated on what was being done. I've never hired someone who genuinely cares about his customers. You won't regret hiring Robert . read more

I had a termite infestation in my wall in the living room. All the other termite companies that I called only offered fumigation, but I did not want to vacate our home because of my elderly father. I spoke to Robert at Speedy's Termite Control about my elderly father and not wanting to tent, he suggested a green treatment called Bora-Care that was safe to use around my father and my grandkids, and we didn't have to move out. The work was done in a day, my husband and father were home while the work was done. It was fast and convenient. I would recommend Robert and Speedy's Termite Control to my family and friends. They really are a full service termite control company just like they advertise. read more

We recently hired this company to do our termite work and were very pleased with their service. Robert came to our house and did a thorough inspection. He sat down with us to discuss treatment plans and pricing, he was very knowledgeable and professional. The work was done in one day, they were very organized and clean. We opted not to tent our home and instead went with a wet spray solution and drill treatment, and Robert gave us a one year warranty with the option to renew a yearly control service at the end of a year of service. I really liked that Robert knew what he was talking about and that he himself did the treatment. This company is very fast, efficient, and professional, the office staff is very friendly and professional as well. I am very pleased with their work and the price, it was a great deal for everything we got. read more
