I hired this company for termite inspection and service, which was done in June 2015 in Stockton for my parents. Ray Carrier, the owner, rushed through inspection didn't inspect the attic, refused to look in the cabinets in the bathroom although they were unobstructed stating he knows what to check for, also the walls due to wallpaper like most of the kitchen, skipped the living room due to paneling, under the bathroom sinks or inside bedroom closets although they were cleared yet he said peaking his head up in the attic there was dry rot, but never entered it. Looked at part of the kitchen, we offered to move any stuff obstructing view but he didn't want to return for that inspection. We agreed to do a perimeter treatment, and after we signed the paperwork for treatment then he said he could look at a few more areas that were obstructed which my parents moved away from the wall, but still only looked a few places not all. I was disappointed since they moved everything so his view wasn't obstructed. The original estimate was $4,270 which was outrageously high reduced to $1700, also $125 for inspection, and considering he didn't do everything he stated he would because he felt it was not necessary then it was reduced. My parents would have paid anything to get rid of the termites so they would have paid the higher price since we were not as knowledgeable then, but I didn't like that he skipped the bathroom wall cabinet and several other areas or claimed they were inspected on the report, but they weren't. He also blamed my parents that they didn't want him to inspect those areas I saw were not inspected on the copy he sent, but that's not true they didn't because he stated it wasn't necessary, and didn't send us an updated copy. He only spot treated a few bedrooms and didn't do everything he told us he would, he arrived late for treatment with another technician, rushed that because he was late and came during the hottest time of day, but my parents at this point just wanted it finished. He was unprofessional when I or my parents asked questions, he made it seem like he's the expert, we didn't have an option, this is because this is the best way to treat them or I was bothering him by asking anything because he's busy. We called them back during covid for the bathroom wall cabinet, which didn't have wall paper when he did the initial inspection, which he refused to check at that time. We saw active termites on the floor in there and he stated he would not return for such a small job, which surprised me that he was more about the money than the customer. He seemed nice at the end of the job when he got paid, and said if anything happens we can call them, and gave us his card, based on that I thought we could contact them. We ended up taking care of the problem ourselves, including spraying the perimeter of the house and garage. We did a perimeter service with this company using IMAX Pro, premise foam and bate traps; had all our windows, gutters, stucco, and concrete redone per his recommendation that work was done by Lowes after termite treatment was complete. We checked the areas of wall he refused to check when they removed and replaced our windows. My father also checked the attic himself afterwards. I provided photos so you know we are a legitimate customer. So when we thought we may have termites again this year, since he refused our business before I cannot recommend this company...we went with another company I'm so glad we did and I suggest you do the same. read more

Their service was outstanding in 2019 when we started the regular service with them but sadly it's gone downhill. Lately, the techs seem to spend hardly a few minutes spraying the outside of our home, spiders were everywhere outside and inside and when we reported a roach and rodent problem recently, they did not have appointments for us until a week to 10 days out! That was our cue to move on. read more

Take Care is so much more than termites. They handle my pest control on a regular basis. Rodney is the absolute best. He is a great communicator and lets me know the night before that he will be arriving also when he gets here and when he has completed service. He is full of great info and is always ready to answer my questions no matter how many I have sometimes. He gives useful advice(thanks for the baby powder for ants trick!) and goes above and beyond when he stops by. He's even knocked down wasp nests for us. If you are looking for pest control, Take Care is the company that you need to call. read more

The whole service was great! Took care of the project in a great manner! Would recommend this to anyone!!!

I have worked with Take Care Termite for termite inspections for a few years now. They are professional and reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Abbey Carpet and Flooring, in Livermore, referred us to Take Care Termite when they found dry rot in the subfloor while removing the existing flooring in our main bathroom. Ray was able to come out the same day (Friday) and they fixed our subfloor for a very reasonable price on the following Tuesday. All of their staff were friendly, and professional. They did a wonderful job and left the site nice and clean. I highly recommend Take Care Termite and plan to use them for my future home inspection and repair needs. read more

We started using Take Care Termite and Pest Control for over a year now. Service has been great, reliable, friendly, and informative. James, our technician, is a great communicator of what our service needs are. I highly recommend Take Care Termite and Pest Control. read more

I'm so thankful I found this service for my dad who had a huge pest problem (roaches, yuck!). I called a few places to inquire, but ultimately felt the best deal and service would be to go with them. The staff was very clear and thorough with their process, did a good job at keeping in touch and making sure the pests were gone before sending that final invoice which I appreciated. We had about 3 treatments and So far haven't seen Any more. They HAD TO GO! read more

We called Take Care Termite on the suspicion of pests. The owner, Ray, was available within a few days to inspect. He was attentive to our pest needs, answered all of our questions. There's never a push or any rush, and he was very professional in stating what he could, and could not do to control the pests. So we agreed on a plan of action with followup. His team was on time for the scheduled chemical treatment appointment, the application had minimal impact, little spot repairs (no surprises), cleaned the work areas, and worked very quickly to be out in a couple hours. Their price was very reasonable, service from beginning to end was great, and we are optimistic that the pest have been taken care of. Would recommend Take Care Termite and use them again in the future. read more

I've had ray come out and take care Of my home and he has done an amazing job to ensure I keep the critters out of my home. read more

It's hard to watch your parents get older when you live out of state and cannot be there for them daily. Our parents were in need of pest control, so we contacted Take Care, and they have been amazing. Our technician, James Myers, reaches out before heading to our parent's property. He does a thorough job and even goes the extra mile, such as today, when he contacted us directly to note there was a leak of some sort on the outside of our parent's properly. He didn't have to do that, but chose to let us know so we can take care of it from afar. It's this extra set of eyes from a company doing their job that helps give us peace of mind. Thank you James and thank you Take Care Pest Control. read more

Very good service, Their worker Jason was on time and did quality work. Would recommend them without hesitation. They got back to me with an estimate very quickly and the estimate was accurate. read more

I had Take Care Termite come out to my house back in November to do a home inspection and complete section I and II work. The crew that came out were friendly and polite. They wore masks and did a great job. TCT does good work but there were two things that really made them stand out. When doing the repair work their crew offered suggestions. We needed our back door replaced which opened from left to right (wall side to wash machine) instead of sticking with that setup they asked if we wanted it to open from right to left (wash machine to wall). Wow! I never thought about that and it's so much nicer having it like that. Also there were a couple things that they need to come back for to touch up/repair. I believe that defects/issues happen (we're all human) but it's how a company deals with them that's important. Both times TCT was quick to respond and send someone out to make it right. They were extremely polite and apologetic, took the time to explain the issue and how they fixed it. They also made sure we were completely satisfied before they left. We have used TCT in the past for minor things here and there and I can say they are consistent. We will definitely be using them again! read more

Take Care Termite is a locally owned small business in Tracy. They were recommended to me by Barringer IPM. Made an appointment to have a termite inspection. Ray, the owner, showed up on time. As he was doing the inspection he explained each step. He was very knowledgeable and said he has been in the business for over 20 years. If/when I need inspection services in the future, I will certainly use this company again. If you have anything that 'bugs' you, give them a call! They service the Stockton area, too. read more

I had termites but Will's inspection report indicated I first had to have 3rd parties do some repairs and Will guided me through that as well. He was friendly, professional, and knowledgable. He was helpful above & beyond and patient with my many questions. Will was my rock throughout it all ... amazing to work with! After the termite treatment Jason treated for some minor fungus and dry rot. He did a good job quickly and was very helpful. A delight to work with. In fact all of TCT's people are wonderful and their customer service outstanding. I've used their quarterly pest control service for many years and have dealt with Ray, Todd, Denise, Rodney, Will, Brittany, Relda, Jason. Awesome company! read more

I have always recommended Take Care Termite when I worked in Real Estate because this company does an honest, no up-sale, pest inspection. I recently used them for a VA pest inspection for the refi of my own home. William King came out for the inspection. He was on time, polite, and thoroughly walked me through his findings. I will continue to use, and refer, Take Care. Especially William King. read more

We had a termite issue and they came the same day I called them for an inspection. Hired them for the job. They were informative, reliable and trustworthy.

We found a couple of termite flies lying around the house. We took a tour of the crawlspace and attic space, but found no obvious sign of infestation. A google/yelp search led us to Take Care Termite. I spoke with them and explained the situation. Ray called back a few hours later and offered to look at pictures of the termite fly and offer suggestions. We were watchful for next couple of days, but could not find any termite flies to take a picture of. Nevertheless, the thought/fear of hidden infestations lead us to schedule a whole house inspection, just in case. On the day of the inspection, Ray came with a mask (due to the Covid-19) on and shoe covers, did a thorough job and provided a comprehensive report (for a nominal fee, of course). He explained the findings. Good news was that there were no termites anywhere. Bad news was that there was fungus infested wood in the crawl space, and bats were living in the attic (which explained the occasional noise we heard at night). We scheduled Ray to come back to treat the infested wood and clean up the crawl space. Again, he came with a mask and shoe covers. He explained what he did clearly, and the crawl space looked much better. Bats situation was a little tricky. Alameda county vector control team loaned a noise making device that drove the bats away (in just 1-2 days). Ray's colleague Jason came by a few days later to seal up the soffit opening that was being used by the bats to access the attic. All in all, I would highly recommend Take Care Termite for any pest related services. read more

$125 for an estimate.... how am I suppose to know if I can even trust a company I've never heard of if I have to pay to meet your team.... was really looking forward to supporting a local business. read more

I recently had an experience with this company that was at best a poor representation of how they wrote a Termite report. I'm in the process of selling my home and the potential buyer hired this company for a pest inspection. My garage is filled with packed boxes for the upcoming move out of state. The report stated that the the whole parameter of the garage was filled with termites and the whole outside parameter was filled as well. When looking at the report and diagram of garage it does indicate that it was loaded with the little pest. I did question this and got a 2nd opinion and there was 1, I repeat 1 extremely less than a nail size in diameter in a spot that you could see. I scheduled an appointment and removed all obstruction to see the areas that were tagged infected and showed on the diagram. As the new termite company walked the Garage as well as the outside walls of the house and found no, I repeat no signs of termites attacking the house or foundation. The red flag also rose when the buyer stated I need to use this company at the tune of thousands of dollars to repair the situation. When I asked the owner about this report and to explain how he came about it and shared those potential buyers back out of their offer do to termite infestation he could only tell me he was a Christan and a God-fearing man well I'm a Chaplin for a local police dept and that is no excuse to try and get thousands of dollars for repairs or help the buyer to drive down the cost of my home. When I asked for a revision of the report all I could hear was crickets. Next is getting a lawyer!!!!!!! Please be aware of not so honest folks!! read more

I Hate Spiders and pretty much anything else that creeps and crawls. Take Care has done exactly what they profess in their name and has taken great care of me and my family. Their technicians are polite, timely and communicate very well. I have been a client of theirs for over 10 years trust them implicitly. If you have bug, bird, mouse, rat, or any other critter issue I highly recommend Take Care Termite. read more

Ray came to our home yesterday and he is just a master at what he does! And he's kind and thorough. I found him on Yelp and Nextdoor and what a good find he is. He was kind enough to wear a mask and foot booties. We had termites around our front window. Well this man inspected our ENTIRE home for everything under the su n...not just termites, but rodents, water lines, spiders....he even found that our dryer vent had come lose or something because there was a lot of lint under the house, he's not sure yet, when they come back he'll figure it out and fix it. He found some damaged or defective wood under the house that he will replace. I am just overwhelmed by his knowledge and thoroughness. He's even mindful of our pets when it's time to treat the termites. Awesomeness!! Thanks Ray! read more

I wanted to give a shout out to James from Take Care Termite. James is our homes monthly pest service technician from TCT. I would say he has taken care of our homes for approximately 3 years. This guy is all about customer service. He listens to your concerns. He really puts out an great effort to take care of whatever our pest problem might be depending on the season. Before he leaves he always communicates his findings and treatments. Above all, this guy is polite and considerate during his monthly visits. Always a pleasure working with James! Thank you Take Care Termite! read more

We had a really great experience with this company. Quite extensive wood rot work completed on our two story home. Zach was the person on site for all five days. A second worker was here for two of the days and I did not get his name. Zach worked SO incredibly hard in HOT weather conditions. He obviously was quite knowledgeable and really just did great work. Zach was polite, on time and did a great clean up job each night. Would definitely recommend this company. read more

Noticed some termite droppings in our house that looked like sawdust. Called a couple of termite/pest control companies. Only heard back from this business. I later called back another company and they had recommended Take Care Termites (TCT) to handle the termites because of the owners/companies were very "reputable and honest". I had TCT do an inspection by Will. He did a thorough inspection and explained the process answering all my questions then and later over the phone. Secretarial staff were very helpful and quick to respond to requests. Job was done to my satisfaction. Overall a smooth process. This is impressive after dealing with other local businesses that just seem to like to take short cuts to get job done faster. Highly recommend this crew! read more

Doing a refi on our house and needed a termite inspection. The front office staff were very friendly and accommodating on a very short notice. Will King, our inspector was professional, polite, and prompt. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. Would definitely recommend. read more

This company was referred by my realtor. A home inspection I had done noted possible rodent activity so I asked my realtor if he knew of any exterminators. My realtor recommended Take Care Termite and the owner, Ray. I spoke with Ray over the phone and decided to setup a combo termite/rodent inspection based on Ray's easygoing yet professional attitude. Ray came out to do both inspections and checked out my home including the attic/crawlspace. He even checked out a wood shed in my backyard. Afterwards, Ray did a walkthrough and pointed what he found. Ray had suggestions on what to do but was not pushy on what Take Care Termite could, which I appreciated. I received a proposal the next day detailing the suggested fixes and decided to move forward with the rodent extermination proposal. Ray's crew came out a few days later and made all the necessary repairs. I am now confident that my home is rodent-free. The work done included follow-up rodent trap visits for 30 days but I doubt anything will get into my home. Thanks Ray! read more

We are so happy with Take Care Termite! They are very knowledgeable and offer outstanding customer service. They also have helped me several times with wasp nests which are prevalent in this area.

Take Care Termite offer a fantastic service at an extremely competitive rate.

Truly an amazing service provider. read more

A few weeks ago we were doing demo of our old pergo floors to be able to install LVP. In one of the rooms we found termites. I called Take care after seeing some great referrals online. They didn't disappoint. They assisted me over the phone with what my flooring installers could do and not do until they could come out and inspect our house guests and get rid of them. Ray, the owner, came out 2 days later and assessed the situation. The good news was they were subterranean termites so the house didn't have to be tented. The bad news this was still going to cost a lot of money and our shed and back patio were also affected. The job wound up being more than they thought it was going to be but the guys that came out and did the work were great, professional, and cleaned up everything nicely. We practically have a brand new shed. We hate that we had termites but we're very happy we called Take care read more

I highly recommend Take Care Termite and Pest Control. I needed a pest inspection for a VA refinance and couldn't have gotten better customer service! Brittini Decker responded to my internet inquiry immediately and was simply AWESOME! She was very knowledgable on the VA refinance process and offered to email my inspection report directly to my lender saving me time and effort. My inspection by Will King was also a GREAT experience. He went above and beyond, to ensure I knew exactly what to expect with my inspection and even found an unrelated issue and gave great advice. If you ever need and inspection call TCT! I'm now signed up for their monthly service! Great company, great customer service, honest and truly puts the customer first! read more

We have been using Take Care Termite for 2 years. Excellent customer service and quality work.

Take Care and Will took splendid care of our VA pest inspection. He pointed out several class two concerns, and told us they should be addressed promptly. He was patient with our accumulations, letting us move some items preventing access to needed inspection points. Will was courteous, friendly, and professional. He definitely knows his trade. I would highly recommend Take Care and Will King for your inspection needs. read more

I am very impressed with Take Care Termite, I had them out for an inspection and was wowed by the level of detail in the report as well as the time taken to do a thorough inspection.

I found this company by doing a search on Google. Saw they were local so called them up regarding a gopher problem I'm having. Was told the earliest someone could come out was on Tuesday (I called on Thursday). Said Ok and see them then. Tuesday came around and lucky I looked out my living room window as I saw a man walking away from my front door and no bell was rung. I went out to see him getting the driver's side door open (maybe to leave?) so I called out "can I help you". He then said he was here about a gopher problem. Spent a few minutes with him and he said he'd go back to the office and someone would call me back in a day or two with a proposal. Gave me his card and left. Thursday afternoon I called and asked about the proposal and was put on hold. Lady came back on and said the person taking care of proposals would email it out to me by the end of the afternoon. Midday Friday had nothing so found another company that did come out and really looked at my yard the next Tuesday. Gave me a few options and then said he'd try and get someone out before the end of the week. They finally came out the following Tuesday (what is it about Tuesdays?) and spent 1/2 hour gassing their tunnels. But no word ever received from Termite & Pest Control. Would I recommend this company? No. read more
