"Steer clear of this company at all costs! They will take your money, complete substandard work, and then refuse to honor their guarantees or negotiate a refund. They do not stand by their work and are dishonest. Our HOA made the unfortunate decision to hire Ortiz Pest Control when we had a rat infestation in the roof of our 10 unit condo building. Ortiz quoted us at $5,875 to kill all the rats we currently had, seal off all entry points, and clean up and disinfect everything. Quotes from other companies were significantly more expensive, although they offered very strong guarantees in case the rats came back. Ortiz assured us that they could do just as good a job as those companies and would also offer us a 1 year guarantee on their work. Once we hired Ortiz in May 2018, there were significant communication issues and we generally found them to be very difficult to work with, but we tried to deal with it knowing we were saving a lot of money. Ortiz was able to get rid of the rats and complete clean up work eventually. The rats were gone from our building for about 10 months before returned. Since the rats had not become firmly established again yet, it seemed like it would be a lot easier than the first time to take care of the problem. When we called Ortiz, we got responses that they were very busy and would come inspect as soon as they could. They then stalled and never returned calls or emails for some time, during which the rat problem got significantly worse. We were finally able to get Ortiz to come back and confirm that the rats had infested our roof again. They set some traps and again were unresponsive about coming back to check the traps in the following weeks. After they finally came back to the property, they told us they had been unable to catch any rats and did not offer any resolution. They told us that their repairs to seal off entry points had held up and they could only provide a guarantee on the actual repairs they made. They also told us that they could not figure out how the rats were getting back inside and made excuses about our roof being the problem. They said we would need to replace our roof to determine if that is where the rats were coming from. When we asked them if their guarantee would cover us if they had failed to secure all entry points and the rats came back through an entry point that they had missed, they told us that the guarantee would not cover us. They said that clay tiles are generally bad at keeping rats out and the rats were probably coming in through there and there was nothing they could do about it. We would have to hire a roofing company to replace and hope that took care of the problem because they weren't going to do anything about it. They offered us a weekly trapping service at additional cost. At this point, we felt that we had paid Ortiz a large sum of money in good faith and they were not honoring their guarantee and were instead trying to get more money from us. We scheduled with 3 other companies specializing in rat removal to come and examine the situation to tell get additional feedback and quotes. All 3 companies told us that the excuses about the roof being the problem were simply lies and there was nothing wrong with our roof. The companies all said that the work competed by Ortiz was substandard. They had used low quality foam materials to seal entry points, missed entry points altogether, and not properly disinfected and disposed of insulation that contained rat scents. By this time, the rat infestation had gotten really bad and it looked even worse than when we had first discovered the problem in 2018. We got quotes from these 3 companies that ranged from $13,000-$21,000 to completely get rid of the problem for good. We ultimately decided to hire Rodents Stop to take care of the mess that Ortiz had left us for $13,000 with a lifetime guarantee if the rats ever came back for any reason. Once we hired Rodents Stop, it was amazing to see how a truly professional company works and they were extremely efficient and easy to communicate with throughout the process. I think they did more work in a couple days than Ortiz did in a couple weeks. We had our management company send Ortiz a letter in May 2019 asking for a refund and a response by the end of the month. We did not hear any response at all so we followed up with an email to them in early July. We again did not receive any response, so we followed up with text messages. They simply told us they would not refund us all the money, so we sent several follow up text messages trying to negotiate something but have received no response in weeks. I've attached text messages showing their unwillingness to honor their guarantee or negotiate a refund. At this point, there is no other option but to warn other potential customers about this company so that others will not have the same negative experience and get ripped off as we have."

Unlike other pest control companies we don’t just treat the immediate structure of your home. We treat the surrounding areas including your landscape throughout the year for maximum results. Experience, knowledge, and dedication is a powerful combination in any business. When Corky started his company back in 1967 he was one of the only pest control companies in town. For the last 50 years he has had the pleasure of servicing Southern California and making it his passion to not only study the uniqueness of our climate and terrain but he has also become a well known author of the industry.
"Termite Fumigation Disaster using Corky’s Pest Control. Our neighbor and I employed Corky’s Pest Control to fumigate our attached homes. We were left with over 220 broken roof tiles and a repair cost that exceeded $4,000. That was more than the cost of the fumigation. Our HOA property manager expressed that this was an exceedingly high number of broken tiles for our community. As you can guess, I cannot recommend using Corky’s Pest Control."

Animal removal services FAQs
DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
