Really great experience. Appointment setting was easy, and the person I spoke with was very helpful. The technician Richard who came to my house did a really great job of explaining the issues at my house, and explaining the strategy and solutions.

Christian was here. He looked all around the house, attic, crawl space very carefully. He explained those needed to fix. He was super kind and polite and he is very professional person. He made me feel safe even though we encountered mice. I highly recommend to other people. Thank you

Absolutely incredible customer service! I was referred by a friend who has used Guard for years. I made the call, they were extremely quick in responding and within 48 hours they were at my house. Now let's be real if we have to call because of mice issues we're already creeped out. So when Richard pulled up in a company truck in a freshly pressed white shirt with the company logo on it and black slacks I was completly taken back by the presentation and professionalism. I had no idea what to expect but didn't expect that. I would recommend this company hands down. Fast, professional and concise. Emailed me immediately with all the information I needed to read to make a choice on the package I wanted, I felt the subscription price was extremly fair! It feels amazing to deal with confident people who know their business handle it professionally, show up when they say they're going to and make you feel like you've made a fabulous decision.

I contacted Guard Pest Control two weeks ago about a ground nest of Yellow Jackets that had established itself in front of our home near our front door. They were able to book an appointment for me only two days later for first thing in the morning. Communication prior to their arrival was great and I received a text notification that they were about 20 minutes away. Christian arrived on time and we spoke briefly about the issue. He surveyed the rest of the yard and house to see if there were any other nests or issues and found none. He quickly got to work spraying the ground nest and told me he felt pretty confident they'd be gone by the next day, but it could take a week. I was skeptical of the one day claim, but hopeful. For the remainder of the day, the Yellow Jackets continued to come around, but they seemed quite confused. The next day came and.....NO YELLOW JACKETS. Not one. LOL. Christian was right! Besides being right, Christian was very friendly and answered all my questions and concerns. As for the price for this service, it was $300. That seemed a little high to me, but honestly, I really don't know what the going rate is as I haven't had to hire an exterminator before and I just wanted those pests gone and the Yelp reviews were very positive. It was worth it to me and I highly recommend Guard Pest Control.

Quick response from the team for a yellow jacket nest that seemed to be forming in between my walls on my 2nd story eave. Team was quick to come out within 2 days (originally planned for the weekend but they contacted me about a last minute opening a day early which I was more than willing to accept). Christian did a great job explaining what he was doing while being personable. Explained the purpose of their traps and the products used and provided confidence in the experience. Previously we would hear tapping from the yellow jackets in our bedroom on the other side of the wall they were flying in and out of, that night it was finally quiet again. We were already seeing significantly less activity that night and next morning there were no longer yellow jackets flying in and out of the eaves. Thank you so much!! Seems like one time treatment for wasps/yellow jackets is $300 with a 60 day guarantee. But similar work is done with the no contract $199 initial with $59 per month charge for quarterly treatment which we ended up opting for since this seems to be a continuing issue every year. They use a sprayer and are able to hit all areas of the eaves, even some high points which I appreciated. I was initially skeptical as some of my research lead to treatment requiring dusting or even getting a ladder up to inspect the entrance site. My situation may not have warranted that method so the spray method works and is safer for their crew.

This is the 2nd time we’ve had someone come from Guardian Pest Control. As was the case with the first tech, this one also came at the designated time, was cordial, explained what he would do, and answered questions I had. The only difference is that the first time about a year ago required more time in order to fully solve the problem and this time today was quite short and simple. My only suggestion to the company is to come up with a way to have part of the cost (beyond a flat rate for transportation to the job) reflect the actual time taken and the difficulty of the job. The 60 day warranty following the job, during which a call for additional service at no charge may be requested, is excellent and appreciated!
