Just a note to say how pleased we have been with United Termite, David (the owner), Nic and Kyle. Their workmanship, responsiveness, warranty, and attitude were all excellent, and the pricing was very reasonable! We have worked with various home contractors over many decades and it is difficult to find good companies. This is one of the good ones. Thanks David. read more

The report was clear and detailed, outlining exactly what needed to be done to eliminate the termites and repair the wood rot. When the carpenters arrived, they walked me through the entire plan and consulted with me on each step of the work. They went above and beyond, completing everything with care and leaving almost no trace they were ever here. read more

Unite Termite is an excellent company to work with. David is a pro, as are his workers - Kyle, Doug, Armando and the rest of his team. They promptly came out, sprayed for ants, repaired deck boards and balcony railings, treated for drywood termites and addressed fungus/dryrot. All in a professional and timely manner, and at a reasonable price. We highly recommend United Termite. read more

Kyle and Daniel came out to my home for a long list of termite and dry rot repairs. In two days they had expertly replaced or repaired and painted all the problem spots. Armando treated the problem sites with human and pet friendly products. This team are Real pros at what they do! Highly recommended! read more

We recently closed on a home that was treated (??) by United Termite Control. We received inspection reports claiming there were no termites after they treated the property. One week after we closed and we can guarantee there are termites everywhere. Would I recommend this company... ABSOLUTELY NOT. read more

United Termite Control - This little mess happened in the week following our move in to this property. - Pest Control Near Me - San Marcos, California

We recently purchased a home and had United Termite Control out to do an inspection. David was very professional and thorough. He was very detailed with his report and even took the time to walk us around our home and explain where the areas of concern are. We definitely recommend David and United Termite Control. Great service!! read more

Excellent customer service. Miguel was so polite and nice to work with. Definitely knows his line of work. I Will continue to use this company for my future Termite needs. read more

Second time using United Termite Control: they were great. They fit me in to their busy schedule and found an area with some dry rot. David is amazing, this dry rot was way up high on the trim of Mobile Home, one area. How he found it is amazing. Saved us much time and money down the road, the entire length of that wood trim did not have any Silicone sealant on top. Nice folks, I highly recommend. read more

Total Scam! Unfortunately, David was highly recommended to me and I felt confident that he would do a good job. They used inferior materials, they didn't silicone anything down.  Just slapped putty everywhere, dripped paint on my concrete and made a mess that they refused to own and clean up because I stupidly had already paid them. Thank you for my lesson!  I had the dry rot trim around my windows replaced in preparation for new window installation. The window installers showed me the poor and incomplete work that was done and the low grade wood that was used and how easily water could get in.  I feel foolish to have trusted these people. They are super nice until you call them out on shoddy work.  What a scam! read more

Outstanding company to work with. Very thorough and professional. They take their time inspecting and are on top of any issues quickly. We wouldn't deal with any other company. read more

This is my third time using United Termite Control. David is prompt, reliable and Reasonable! I've dealt with lot's of termite companies in the past and I've had some "memorable experiences" that I'll call unfortunate. David does a good inspection of everything and charges a FAIR price. Work is done in a timely manner and when they are done, everything is left clean. I can't say about other companies I've used before I found David. So getting ready to sell? Wanting to know how your house is holding up (are the termites holding up you home or are you bug free? Woodrot in the timbers?) Sometimes it just good to get a check-up! read more

We got quotes from several companies before deciding to go with United Termite Control. Not only did they beat everybody else's prices, but the company owner (David) seemed honest and straightforward. They were able to come tent our house within a few weeks of our initial meeting which was very convenient for us.I would recommend United Termite to anyone looking to exterminate their home at a reasonable price. read more

Some businesses are reputable, some are not. Unfortunately, this isn't always obvious until after you pay them. I learned from my mistakes. I bought a house that was under a long-term contract with David (United Termite Control). For $200 annually, he was to inspect, treat, repair, and continue to monitor the home for termites. They paid him for years. I missed a major red flag: At the time of the sale, David had to do $3,000 worth of termite repairs so we could close the escrow. This means, his ongoing warranty (that the house would be termite-free) failed each year. Some of the damage he repaired was apparently old damage. In other words, he kept charging the previous owners $200/yr and simply do nothing or the bare minimum. He didn't fix any termite problems until he absolutely had to (i.e., the escrow wouldn't close). Stupidly, I hired David to continue the warranty. We agreed that they would bill my card automatically each year. At first they did. The second year came and went, and I realized I haven't heard from David in a while. I called and requested service. To be safe, I also requested another company to perform an inspection. David came out, called me from the premises, and tried to extort $400 in fees, claiming there was no warranty. When I challenged this as unfair, he got angry, yelled, and hung up. At this point, I became very concerned about his business practices. Long story short: I obtained 3 bids. All three companies told me the house had termites for quite some time. David simply ignored them, charged money, and did nothing. I ended up having to tent the house. read more

David was very professional and thorough. His prices are very reasonable, something I really loved. I appreciated the fact that he was very conscious of any and all safety related issues while performing his job. I was very impressed. He explained everything in detail. I will be recommending his services to anyone I know that needs pest control. He's a great guy!!! read more

Great job by David the owner and Arni the very professional technician who came out to our home to eradicate termites through spot treatments. We obtained 2 estimates which confirmed the areas of concern and United's bid was more cost effective but identical in treatment options. We are on their yearly plan now and expect to have continued great service if and when needed... read more

My wife and I are extremely pleased with the quality work Dave and his crew have done for us! Most of the needed rapairs were in the rear patio and roof areas. The workers even did an excellent job of matching the old paint! Their price was quite reasonable, too. If we ever need termite repair work done again in the future, we will not hesitate to call them! Dan Brodek read more

I recently had termite treatment, carpentry, roof repair and painting done by United. I was extremely impressed. I've used my share of contractors over the years, but United is the best I have experienced. From estimate through completion, the team of David, Arnie, Ernesto, Gabe and Brian were polite, professional and on-time. I strongly recommend their services. Sterling K. read more

We bought a house certified by United termite Control, after a year I found some evidence of termite activity, called them and they honored their warranty! they are honest and effective, I didn't feel that they were just trying to get my money.... I will keep their warranty from now on, thank you David and your great team. read more

Fast, Flexible, and Reasonable. It's alway nice to work directly with the owner David and have his skill and local knowledge and not be dealing with a big company. Buy Local is my motto and you will be happy. I recommend United Termite to take care of your needs. read more

I use United Termite all the time for my clients! They are honest, fast and reliable! I highly recommend them!!!

Carlos came to replace the boards with wood rot on our roof. He did exactly what needed to be done in the time he estimated. He knew exactly what to do and we are very happy with the results. read more

What a pleasure to do business with. Rachel in the office was very nice over the phone. She helped get an appointment ASAP for me. When Carlos came out he explained so much of the process of tenting it made it easy for us to prepare. The tenting guys came in, got it done and were very professional. The price was the best too. Another highly rated company quoted twice the price and the guy that came out was not informative at all. read more

I run a property management/real estate company in the Tri-City area and have used United Termite several. Over the past few years and have always been very happy with Dave and his guys. read more

I am a Realtor in San Diego County and have been referring and doing business with United Termite for two years. They have consistently provided excellent care and service to all our clients and additionally have taken care of me and my own home as well. read more

THE WORST PEOPLE I'VE EVER DEALT WITH!!! I have a prepaid, 2-year contract with them, and was due for a free annual check-up (we missed the first year's check-up). In 2013, I was promised by United Termite Control that if we found any more problems with termites within 2 years of our contract, United Termite will take care of it. I believe there have been some changes in management because now the people there are downright rude and mean, especially the owner, David, and the receptionist, Wendy. David showed up 1 hour and 15 minutes late on the free annual check-up and when he finally arrived, he had such a nasty attitude. And just because I told him that he was very late and asked him why he wouldn't apologize for being so late, he just stormed out rudely without doing the work that the company was contracted to do. Who shows up at your door very late and turns around and leaves just because the customer tells him he was late? I wonder if he would have treated a prospective customer like that. It is obvious he knew there was no profit to be made if they had to do any work around our house. I believe it is a scam if this is his way to avoid the work they have been paid for, and he has definitely breached our contract by refusing to do the work. I probably have a case to sue him for it. The receptionist Wendy was the same way. Like the reviewer Larry M. stated, Wendy was very offensive and combative; she called me names and hung up on me also. It is obvious how this appalling, unprofessional customer service trickles from top to bottom. Even though we have a 2-year contract with them, I will stay away from these people and never ever use this company again for any kind of work. read more

We used them in a house purchase. The seller picked them since they were the cheapest. They did about 5k in work on the house including fumigation. After closing I found they used bondo and did not replace the boards listed on the inspection report. They bondo'd 2 boards together that were different thicknesses. They said "Well its behind a bush" I ended up rebuilding the downstairs patio area personally since I wanted it done correctly and discovered a lot more termite damage that was overlooked by them included in the repair bid. David the owner came out to inspect the damaged wood and pictures of the repair. Offered me a 2 year warranty extension to the one I already had. After that meeting, nothing from him for 2 weeks. After calling and emailed him directly. Finally I informed him that our security camera had our conversation on tape. He replied within 5 mins with the warranty emailed to me. I know deep down if I uncover more issues getting them to honor the work or warranty will be difficult. In addition at this point I would not trust their work at all. Stay away read more

When I first contacted United Termite Control my concerns were on the horror stories I had heard from friends on getting ripped off (burglarized) from termite companies while their house was being tented. United put to rest my fears with their professionalism and the process began. Unfortunately, it was not United Termite that actually did the work. They apparently sub-contracted the work to another company (a typical practice in the fumigation industry) of hard-working men called SD Union Fumigation. These guys work to fumigate around five to seven houses a day, so they were not in the best mood to answer all my questions, or close the screen door to keep my cat out of the house while preparing for fumigation. I found out later that I could have hired them directly and paid about 33% less. They say that you only find out how good a company is when something goes wrong. When it rained a few days later and my normally working gutters turned into a flowing waterfall. I called United Termite Control, who (of course) called SD Union to come and fix the problem. SD Union never showed until the following day (when I wasn't home). I had to explain the problem over the phone to someone who speaks English as a second language. He asked if I had any glue (honest). Eventually, my wife supplied him with bathroom caulk and our aluminum extension ladder and he caulked around the gutter where it connects to the downspout. He never bothered to run a hose on to the roof and check for any other possible leaks. Apparently, when they removed the tarps from the fumigation, they must have pulled too hard and ripped the gutter from the downspout and away from the drip edge. So when it rained, water cascaded behind the drip edge and not into the gutter. It came down like a waterfall - right off the roof past our kitchen window. I finally went up on the extension ladder and fixed the gutter and downspout myself with a putty knife and a bit of silicone. It's just a damn shame that companies like United Termite Control are eager to sell the job, but not be there when things go wrong. Apparently they'd rather subcontract that out. read more

This company deserves no stars .... Rude owner and employees. Late to jobs . Crap jobs ... If you hire them , make sure you watch them .. They will do as little as possible to get the most out of it . Couple of the workers typically kill time by playing on their phones assuming they get paid by the hour. They had a woman at one point who was sweet as pie but didn't see much of her . To me she worked the hardest but it's possible she was fired due to making the guys look bad , I wouldn't be surprised..poor girl . Also if they work on your escrow home , leave little items out just to see if they'll be there once you're done. My advice ... Cheap isn't always the best choice. Half the employees are illegal immigrants so they most likely don't get paid enough for the job they do so they have to make up for it else where. read more

UNITED TERMITE CONTROL We used United Termite Control (Escondido) for some small issues last summer and we very pleased with the quality of the work, the thoroughness of the workers as well as the timing and follow-up from the owner. Very pleased! David ans his team inspected the house and made several recommendations which we followed. We also asked him to correct possibly damage to our porch and it was done correctly and promptly. Nice work. Thanks, Frank P. read more

I knew I had some dry rot on my patio cover, so I called United Termite Control for a free inspection. David was very friendly and answered all my questions. He found several spots on the house that I hadn't noticed which had more dry rot and active termites. Luckily, the house didn't have to be tented, and could be treated locally at a reasonable price. Charlie and his crew came in the next week to do the repairs + termite treatment and I was very pleased. - They did not rush through the job like many contractors, and did quality work. - They went above and beyond what was listed in the contract. - Part of the repair included installing a new door and they threw in a free deadbolt. - All exterior wood that was replaced was sanded and painted to match the rest of the house. - They made sure all work was done to my satisfaction!!! - And I got a nice warranty on the repairs and future termite infestations. Very easy to work with. I will be calling them again for any future termite issues. read more

Our HOA hired this company to do our association's termite treatments a couple weeks ago. Coincidently the same day and time which their workers were on my balcony which has direct access to our master bedroom, several personal and valuable items were removed from my master bedroom. When I politely asked about the theft, the worker became EXTREMELY hostile and combative with me. I was honestly terrified by his response. I immediately called the police and filed a police report. They are required to disclose if they will be on the property such as the balcony or any area which a homeowner or tenant should be aware of and they didn't. Beware of this company. read more

It's clear this company does not actually care about their customers and the customers' houses. The damage done to my house after getting tented by United Termite was not life threatening but still very upsetting. I was told that my large trellis with a 10 year old jasmine plant would be pulled away from the wall and placed outside the tent. That did not happen and the plant is now partially dead and burned. The swinging wooden fence on one side of my house had a piece it's plywood ripped off and hanging by a thread. And the worst was the poor pumpkin patch. I have a few vines of young growing pumpkins in my front yard right now, and when United Termite was removing the tent, somehow the largest vine in my garden got completely mauled and stepped on and ripped apart and broken. I have called and left THREE VOICEMAILS and the company has not replied at all. Save your beloved house some damage and find another company to do your service. read more
