I cannot recommend this business highly enough! A few weeks ago my spouse noticed an old rusty…read moresoffit had been dislodged under an eave on our first floor and that a second soffit had a gaping hole in the middle. Tufts of insulation were strewn about the ground and some was hanging outside of a vent that led to an attic. Based off of a recommendation from a previous neighbor and research into local options, I called James. I was Immediately impressed with his in-depth knowledge and his willingness to explain and share his experience. After telling him about my location as well as a brief description of what I found, he was able to accurately describe my fence line, how it led up to a small landing, where the soffits were located, and what he suspected was happening. He came out, assessed the situation, and based off of the evidence he identified the culprit as most likely being a raccoon. He then provided me with options on how we could proceed. At no time was I pressured into picking an option that I was uncomfortable with. He went over the details for each option and clearly explained what was recommended vs what was less pressing and optional. We went with having him monitor the intrusion for 3 days and then replacing all of our old galvanized steel soffits with more coastal friendly poly-vinyl ones. Throughout the entire process, James was incredibly flexible, highly responsive, and deeply attentive to all of our questions/concerns. If you want thorough, professional, and thoughtful service, James is your guy!

Rhett responded almost immediately with a quote and availability to come out to my house the next day. I quickly cleared everything I could off the carpet and he did the first spray. I cleaned all of our bedding, towels, etc. and vacuumed everyday. He came back two weeks later for a second spray and no flea bites in between visits. The spray service combined with constant cleaning did the trick! I would 10/10 recommend Rhett.

We saw a great reduction after the first service but not a total resolution. Rhett stayed in touch with me and came back after 2 weeks for a second application. Still better but not completely resolved we went with a third application and that was the last one! Rhett stayed in communication throughout and really supported our frustration as resolution was longer and slower than we anticipated. His kindness, professionalism and persistence was key to our flea-less home. I would highly recommend him!

Breaks my heart to give a poor review. I had Gavilan come out for the last 3 years every spring…read morebefore my apple trees bloomed to spray for aphids. Never had a problem. This year not sure what happened. The pesticide was mixed incorrectly and almost killed my trees. They put out new growth in parts of the tree but not in others. One tree was so stressed there are no apples and the other has just a handful. We used to get buckets. The lawn below the trees died as well. We're trying to reseed but it's going slowly. My concern is that the apples themselves on the one tree may be toxic since the spray killed the lawn. My golden delicious is not happy and I am hoping it doesn't die. I was given a refund but if my trees die... I would make sure when they come to spray that they have correctly mixed the pesticide.

We called 101 Exterminators and Richard was able to stop by SAME DAY and easily identified the issue: they had moved into an old tree stump underground. We figured he would have to schedule a time to come back, but he was able to handle it in the moment, sprayed to kill the hive and advised us on next steps. He then took the time to walk our property and check other problem areas, advise on possible rodent entry points and other pest control options for spiders nesting beneath our balcony. He even sent a follow-up text a few days later to ensure there were no more live hornets on the property. Richard is polite, communicative and knowledgeable!
