Mt Helix Pest Control

Pest Control, Finished Carpentry and Woodworking, Lawn Fertilization & Treatment

About us

We provide services for basic general pest control ie: ants, roaches, earwigs, etc. We also provide local spot treatments for Drywood termites & Subterranean termites. Depending on the severity of the Drywood Termite evidence, we will recommend a tent fumigation. Estimates are free unless the home is for sale. When a home is for sale, the report is a much more detailed inspection, therefore we do charge a fee. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an inspection, please do not hesitate to call us (619) 584-6794.

I explained this above but overall the entire thing went excellently.
Description of Work: The owner came to my home to inspect and treat a piece of furniture that we had seen termite damage in. He had forewarned me that the minimum charge for coming out would be $160.00 (which was very reasonable when compared with other companies quoted phone estimates). When Mr. Orton arrived he inspected the furniture, noted that the termites were already dead (we had sprayed the affected area with an over the counter pesticide), and provided his expert opinion that no further treatment was required and that our termite issues were confined to the one small piece of hardwood on the furniture that the termites had attacked. He provided his card, wished me a good day and left without charging me anything! I will definitely use this company in the future if I have any other extermination issues.

The experience was outstanding from start to finish. Steve is the co-owner of Mt Helix and came to do the inspection himself. He is an expert and noticed areas that Lloyd Pest Control and Agricultural Pest Services had not detected. He even taught us how to look for subtle evidence ourselves. He told us that both fumigation and local treatment would be good options for us. He did not pressure us into the more expensive option. They contract out with a good local company for fumigation, but do the local treatment themselves. On the appointed day, Steve and his partner Rob arrived on time to apply the local treatment. They had to drill some holes inside the house to apply products, but they were very careful and tidy. We will not even need to repaint the drilled wood. They were polite and good humored throughout. This is a quiet time of year for them, so it was great to see the boss doing the treatment himself. Highly recommended. We will definitely call them for fumigation if needed.
Description of Work: Free inspection for termite activity and recommendation for treatment options for a 3000 square foot house and large arbor over a terrace. We chose local treatment of the interior and exterior, with a view to fumigating in a year or two if the termites are not controlled. Tenting of the house with fumigation and local (chemical) treatment of the arbor would have been $2300 plus $500 extra for roof tile breakage insurance.

The owner and his crew were very professional. They answered all our questions...even though my Mom can be very long winded!! They took extra care not to damage any landscaping. The crew was cordial as well. They even treated areas that they found that were missed on the initial inspection. We would highly recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to use the tenting method in thier home.
Description of Work: We decided to use the orange treatment so we did not have to leave the home. They treated the inside and the outside as well as the sub terranium termites. The drilled the areas shot the treatment and plugged the holes. They were careful around the landscape and the pets.

The personnel at Mt Helix are knowledgeable, accommodating and thoroughly professional. Every owner in our 36-unit condo complex is enthusiastic about the service they have received. Best of all, the cost has been only a fraction of what we had been paying other larger and better-known companies. We recommend them without reserve.
Description of Work: Our condo complex of 36 units contracted for a complete inspection and treatment of any infected areas, plus service for one year. The cost was very reasonable compared with the well-known companies we had bee using before. At the conclusion of the contract year, we chose to call them only on an as needed basis. Our yearly costs for pest control are now are now only a fraction of what we had been previously paying the other companies, and the service is far superior.

THIS JOB WENT ABOUT AS PERFECTLY AS IS POSSIBLE. ROB BACON WAS HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL IN ADVISING AND PREPARING US FOR THE WORK; NO QUESTION EVER WENT UNANSWERED, NO PREPARATION TECHNIQUE EVER WENT UNEXPLAINED. HIS RESPONSIVENESS WAS PERFECT. THE WORK WAS DONE ON SCHEDULE, WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE HOUSE OR PROPERTY, WITH EXCELLENT RESULTS (NO EVIDENCE OF RE-INFESTATION AT ALL IN PAST SIX MONTHS). MT. HELIX'S PRICE WAS ABOUT THE BEST AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, AND IT WAS EVIDENT THAT MR. BACON VALUED THE BUSINESS. I WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION IN HIRING MT. HELIX AGAIN, AND PROBABLY WILL DO SO IN ANOTHER NINE AND ONE-HALF YEARS WHEN TREATMENT IS NEEDED AGAIN. TRULY A QUALITY COMPANY.
