Very well. He was only supposed to do a one time thing. I was impressed with the job he did I hired him permanently.

It went very well. They are fast and try not to get in the way of whatever may be going on in the home while they are here. They spray every room and include the outside and garage.

I've never had a problem with bugs. They're always on time, and professional. I trust them enough to give them a key to my house. I've had the same guy for five years. He's awesome. Their prices are excellent.

Their monthly service was ok and reasonably priced. The termite service was excessively expensive and not necessary. We didn't have termites and there was no reason to have the service. The $500 bee traps, which were no different than cheap sticky fly traps, were complete ineffective and caught a total of 3 bees in 3 days. I finally called two highly reputable bee specialists and had one of them come out to our home. They informed us that the bees were merely getting water from the pond and taking in back to the hive which was absolutely not on our property and could be as far as a mile away. As long as the hive isn't on our property and the queen is nowhere near, the bees are completely harmless which had been our experience as well. Without finding the hive, the bees can't be caught, trapped or discouraged from drinking from the pond short of draining the pond or putting poisonous chemicals that would fatally harm our koi fish. I called Desert Pest Control and spoke to the owner of the company. I told him of our findings and our dissatisfaction with the situation. He was extremely rude and insulting! I reminded him that we'd been with the company for many years, which made no difference at all to him. We stopped payment on the $500 check and cancelled our service with them effective immediately. We feel strongly that Desert Pest Control is very disreputable and dishonest. We can't recommend them and will never use them again.

They come every other month to spray for pests.The same guy comes and they come on time every time. They give you a calendar to tell you exactly when they will be at your home. If i'm not home he will come in and do his job. He always asks if there is anything else I need.

I have used Desert Pest Control for my home and business locations for many years now. Their service people are always professional and very responsive. I rarely see pests around my home or office and, if I do, they are dying. A couple of years ago, we had a swarm of Africanized bees at our business. Desert Pest Control sent a representative out immediately. They exterminated the bees and we have had no problem since. I would recommend them.

They are great. The people I have dealt with have been really polite and personable. I was trying to carry my vacuum upstairs, and one of their regular techs offered to help me move it up and did. I highly recommend them.

We’ve used them previously at our other house. We’ve been using them for over a year now. I get a bill each time when they come out and they come out every other month. When we first initiated the use, they came out several times to get a control of the situation. Then after about six months or so, we began to have a problem with ants and they had to come out two or three times. Then we had a bee problem one time. They were very helpful and they took care of the problem at no extra charge. I thought I found them quite reliable. The product they use does not have a smell and so that’s good. They’ve seemed to have taken care of our problem. I’m happy with them. The workers that come out are very polite. They usually try to call before hand and let me know that they’re coming. If I had been home, I would have had them do our grass. So I shall catch them the next time. We were having some pool bug and everything, so he did some extra spraying in there because I guess that would clear up some critters. That was something I hadn’t thought of and so that was good. They were very good. I think their price is fair. It’s pretty comparable to what I’ve used before. We will use their services again in the future.

We have been using them for 12 years now. They do a good job. They keep all the pests out of the house and if the pests do manage to get in, they die. They come every other month. They always call and check to make sure if anything needs to be done inside. They are very pleasant. They are always ready to do anything you ask. The price is also very good. They charge $46 per visit. We would continue to use them again in the future too.

They limit the use of smell. Their product isn't bad for the environment and it doesn't smell. When we have had problems, they have come out really fast to deal with it. We had some bees that had nested on the base of the house, and they took care of that. Ants invaded last year, and they came out twice to deal with that. They have been really good about taking care of issues we've had.

They send the same person every time, which is very important to me. I opened my dishwasher one night and there were cockroaches. They came out and said that they were German cockroaches because those are the only ones that come out during the day. She also opened my cabinets. She went about her job and didn't make any comments. Since the first treatment I haven't had any more and that was 1 1/2 years ago. They are a very good company. I don't know what they are using, but I'm all for it. They are very responsive. They are one of the oldest companies in town. They gave me a schedule when they will come out and they call the day they are coming. One time they were going to be late and they called to let me know. The price is very fair. Concerning the fact I haven't seen another German, I think their price is cheap. The lady that came out was very professional.

They come out every 60 days. I have crawling bugs and they also get into the house. Desert Pest Control helps me with everything.

Their monthly pest control service is okay, though we always know when it's time for the next visit, as the earwigs and other critters start making an appearance. Their technician is always pleasant and seems to enjoy his job. BUT we've had two incidences that have caused us concern. The first was a few years ago when they insisted that we install a new termite control system that cost a few hundred dollars. Totally unnecessary as we didn't have termites and no one in our neighborhood did either. The final straw came last week. We have a fish pond in our backyard that is attracting lots of bees. Our regular technician looked at the situation and summoned their "bee specialist". He came out later that afternoon and assessed the problem by viewing the bees and their flight pattern through powerful field glasses. The bees are coming to the pond to gather water, then are transporting it back to the hive which could be as far away as 1.5 miles, but is definitely NOT on our property or anywhere near the property. We can see the bees flying way over our block wall into the distance. We were told that the solution would be to put 2 traps on our property and have Desert Pest Control monitor the traps for 2 weeks for $390. This should eliminate the bees but "no guarantees". We agreed, paid half the fee up front, with the other half to be paid in 2 weeks via post dated check. The "traps" are nothing more than large fly paper and in a period of 4 days "trapped" a total of 3 bees. Through further research we've learned that, unless the hive is found and removed, there is absolutely NOTHING that can be done to remove the bees from the pond. They're coming to the closest source of water and will continue to come until the season is over or their hive is relocated or they find a closer source of water. A call to Desert Pest Control's Service/General Manager to voice our concern and displeasure was met with insults such as "you read something on the Internet and now you're an expert?!" and "did you suddenly take a continuing ed class?" along with "You should have done your research before you hired us." He finally admitted that these traps would not solve the problem, but further stated that killing a few bees would make our pond more enjoyable. His rudeness and arrogance were astounding! Needless to say, we have canceled the bee service, stopped payment on our checks and, after careful consideration, have decided that we can no longer trust Desert Pest Control. We've canceled their service completely! The only reason I'm not giving them an "F" is because of our regular service tech.

Said he was coming, he was a no-show. The second time he was coming, came, but lost my phone number and couldn't get in. Today, he calls me after saying he went on my roof a week ago, and tells me he can do the job. When I talked to him today, he quoted me $400, but he can't guarantee the work. He also claims he's only going to do $400 worth of work, which means the job won't be complete. He also gave me a window frame, not an exact time. He would not make a definite time, but is going to have me waiting for 3 hours for him to come. This is the third attempt for service.

It is known that scorpions are not very easy to get rid of so I am going to have to say that Desert has showed wonderful improvement over the past few months. At first, I was seeing the scorpions daily. Now, I have only seen one in the past two months. I think that is great. I pay them every two months for this service and I think it is very fair. They really do perform the best that they can.

We have been using this company for years and there have never been any problems at all. They are always great in response to calls and making extra trips out if needed. They are responsible and trustworthy. The prices are reasonable too.

I have never had any problems with pests since I started having Desert Pest Control come out. They did respect my wishes when I ask them not to spray certain chemicals that I don t think are to good for the environment and they discuss with me the chemicals that they plan on using before they use anything new.

While they didn't finish the job in a timely manner, we also didn't follow up with them, until it became a problem again. However, after checking our contract, they completed the work without question and did a good job.

They will come every two months and spray the inside and outside of our house. They do a very professional job and the chemicals are not harmful to us. We think they do a terrific job and the price seems okay.

I will be happy when my contract expires with Desert Pest Control as I will not be renewing it because of poor service and being double charged. My contract ends in March; the service man is a nice person but is not very thorough in his work. I have seen different bugs around my home and even a black widow in my garage. The garage is supposed to be opened and emptied for them to do a proper spraying. I have opened the garage for him, offered to move the vehicles out and he always says it is not necessary. A few months ago my husband was here when he came, not remembering that it was automatic withdrawal system he paid him for his services on that day. The company has never given me credit for my sixty dollars; I refer to them as rip off artists to my friends and will not be using them after March.

Desert Pest Control was very easy to deal with and they understood what we expected and were able to provide us with results. We have been able to see that the spraying has made a difference as the bugs are a lot less visible. We don't mind the expense as long as the results are good.

Desert Pest Control did a great job of keeping the pests out of my home. I have used them for quite some time now and they are nice people to work with. I have been very satisfied with the work that they did. I like that they will come inside of your house and spray if they need to, otherwise they normally just spray outside. I don't have to call them as they know when to show up and they always do show up.
