Report
We had Hydrex as our yearly service people for termite control for 22 years (1987 to 2010) and paid them almost $1,000 a year to come and check and spray or "control" termite invasion in and outside our home. We were on a canyon and we expected they "knew"? their profession. When it came to sell our home, when we had the inspection for the closing, the inspection by Hydrex for the "wood destroying insects" came back with an estimate for getting rid of insects and repairs at $40,000.00 (Yes, Forty Thousand dollars!).
These were the people who were supposed to protect this home EVERY YEAR WITH A CONTRACT TO DO SO! They HAD to reduce it by $5,000.00 because they "FORGOT" their original contract called for protection from Subterranean termites as well. If you are smart, you will hopefully take this "Opinion" to heart and check out other more competent pest control companies. Absolutely, your choice.

We love the Tech that Hydrex assigned to us last year, and were very pleased to see him return for our annual inspection in Nov 2021. Not only is Hurvey competent, as have been all of the Hydrex technicians we have dealt with over the years, but Hurvey is very much a "people person." So much fun to be around - such a delightful personality - so easy to get along with. Knowing the company as we do, we expect him to be around for many years to come, and kibitzing with us and doing his job well each time he arrives to "toss the termites."

This the first time I have to hire someone for termite inspection since I need the section 1 clearance. If you need someone to do the treatment and do the work to fix the damage, DO NOT hire this company! They quoted almost 10k plus almost 3k for treatment. This company once they know you are in escrow selling your home. They will charge you lots of money. I made a mistake on hiring them to do the treatment and ended losing almost 3k and I had the other company fix their Hydrex mistake. They poke and add more damage on the structures of my house. Please call somebody else, don't use this company. I will report them to BBB.

How can you call yourself a business! Who takes a customer's information and gives a 2hr window and doesn't call, text or email that you won't be arriving! There are plenty of small business exterminators that I will be reaching out to. Don't waste your time with this company, because they don't mind wasting yours!

My mother in-law has used this company for many years. She recently had a service man out by the name of Kevin Curnick, she can not stop raving about how great this guy was. He was very attentive to her needs and never made her feel like she was bothering him. Due to her language barrier she normally doesn't feel comfortable talking with people but she was so impressed with him that not only did she send a thank you card but wanted to leave a review as well. If you are in need of pest control. Kevin is you guy!

Howdy! I wanted to share some feedback. I received a recommendation via NextDoor for Hydrex. I've recently purchased a home and want to have my house tented before we move in. On your website it says "Call Us for a Free Estimate We invite you to call the office nearest you." I also clicked the 'Request a Free estimate" button, filled out the form, but received an error submitting it (There was an error trying to send your message.
Please try again later). I called the San Diego # (ending on 0455). I received the same error when trying to submit this info to the contact form on the Hydrex website. When I explained that I am a new home owner and wanted to get a quote for fumigation, the lady on the phone told me that you guys don't give quotes over the phone and that I should just go with the company that did the termite inspection during the home buying process. I'm trying to be a conscious consumer and I didn't realize shopping around for a fumigation quote was such a big 'no-no' Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I have had an inspection and treat by hydrex every year for 5 years. Paid $2000 for Initial treatment Pay $350 every year. Got an inspection done in April and was told everything was fine. Escrow inspection done today and lots of damage found! Why am I paying every year for inspection. This company is a scam. Please don't waste your money. The hydrex escrow insoector( same company) says they put the damage in the report every year, but no one has ever said a word to us. I checked the report from April this year and it was clear
