Within a month of moving to San Diego I saw a pretty large cockroach in my new rental. Not wanting to take any chances, my landlord had Joshua's Pest Control stop by to assess. They scheduled a home visit within 2 days of calling and were very thorough in their questions and assessment. Thomas and Carlos did my home visit and helped discern I had seen an American Cockroach (the kind that doesn't want to infest - yay!) and put down some gel bait around the perimeter. They were very helpful and knowledgeable. I appreciate the promptness of service and the information they provided as well. Thank you Joshua's Pest Control!

We love Joshua's Pest Control! We contacted them more than a year ago for an ant problem. They were able to control the ants quickly and efficiently. Once the ants were under control and noticed we then had a rat and spider problems Joshua's was able to address those as well. We especially love that they provide complimentary extermination services between the regular quarterly maintenance! They are very courteous and professional each time they come to the property and are able to identify the problems and come up with a plan on how to tackle the pests! We are incredibly happy with their services and would recommend them to anyone in need of an exterminator!

I have used Joshua pest Control for a couple of years on a rental property and have been very pleased with the service. Recently we found a Issue at my mom's property and called them for help. Mom doesn't like to use pest services because she's afraid they'll hurt her plants or her animals but after some very patient reassurance from her now favorite service technician, Thomas She is a huge fan of Joshua's pest control!
He was so pleasant inspected the whole property and proceeded to take care of the problem. She wants Thomas on every service call now. I always thought Joshua's had great customer service and response times, this time thanks to Thomas the service was over and above. I highly recommend this company!

My first impression of this business was great, beginning when I first spoke on the phone to the schedulers. I spoke with two different ladies, both very friendly and eager to get me immediate help with my pest problem. Zack and James came out within 24 hours to help us figure out why we were getting bitten by bugs. They were patient, thorough, professional, and knowledgable. I am confident that no matter what pest problem I have in the future, they can help me with it. This business came highly recommended on the app Nextdoor and I'm glad I called them!

We had the wonderful opportunity of meeting James and Zach this evening. They did an amazing job, not only with spraying our home but educating us on the pest we were dealing with. The two of them were very personable and really made there mark with us, we are new to San Diego and finding new services can be a bit daunting but Joshua's pest control really exceeded with their services. We will continue to use joshua's pest control services.

We have always been happy with Joshua's. Great service and super responsive. This latest visit was for a specific ant invasion in our backyard. Thomas and Amanda discovered and treated multiple colonies and perhaps even more important is they took the time to explain everything. Really helpful education and hopefully the treatment takes care of the ant problem. Thanks Thomas and Amanda.

If a salesman comes knocking on your door to try and sell you their services, IGNORE them and call someone else. They're quick to sell you a service, but they're unreliable and unprofessional. In my opinion if you set up an appointment and you tell your customer that you plan to be there at a certain time, you show up on time. If you promise your client that you will call them before arriving, you CALL them.
If you are hired to do a specific job, you do that job, not half of it (the guy who came out arrived before someone was home, didn't call to say he was on the way as agreed and only treated part of the property.) Understandably life happens, so they were given a second chance to prove themselves and they failed miserably. Once again no call and this time a no show and worse of all no apology. Obviously, this company doesn't understand the value of time and how important word of mouth is.

I normally do not respond to door to door sales people, but Collin was such a respectful and non-pushy sales guy that I gave him the chance to tell me what service they can do, since we are new to the area (since Sept 2021), and we had not found an extermination company yet. Too many other priorities right now. But Collin was very professional and easy to talk with. No pressure sales at all, and after listening for a short while, I was willing to give these guys a chance.
The price seems very reasonable compared to prior extermination services I have used in other states and they were offering a discount for the initial service. Today, Peyton came out to do the initial service inside and outside the house. Super nice and also very respectful guy. Also enjoyed talking with him. He was thorough with the service and covered all three floors of our home quickly and politely.
He wore shoe covers and made sure to not let any of our 5 cats slip out the doors. I won't know how well their treatment works for a few weeks, but so far, very pleased with this company and the reps they send out!

Terrible pest control company! A sales person showed up at my door and pretended to be my entire neighborhood is their customers. They're selling you a trial one time service with $99 and after they charge you $139 automatically per visiting. Then they charge you every time without the notifications. When you call to ask what is going on, they just say no problem we will cancel you out but you have to pay for next visit due to the contract even if i don't want the service anymore. No real pest control was ever done. They just have walked around my house with the cobweb duster for 2min and disappeared without any explanation. I feel like completely wasted my money and scammed.

Stay away from this company! They are sending a sales person from door to door, selling you a trial one time service and after they charge your credit card, they automatically sign you up. The signature is not for the one time service, its an annual contract. Be aware! The guy is just giving you a screen for signature and telling this is for today's service. Then they charge you every month and when you call to ask what is going on, they say "no problem we will cancel you out".
Early cancellation fee is $119. these people are scam. My neighbors had same thing. The other neighbors signed up for contract voluntarily. No spiders were removed. They have stayed 3 min on site. No explanation. Just come and go!

My boyfriend hired Joshua's Pest Control for a stinkbug problem. The service helped, but did not solve the issue. We still had them in and around the house. However when we moved out of that house, he tried to cancel the service. They told him that the cancellation fee would be more than having a final service call, so he agreed to one final service call at our new address. After that, the service was supposed to be cancelled.
They have returned two more times, even after being turned away upon arrival, and are still trying to charge us. We have asked for the service to be cancelled 3 times and they still will not stop. This has been going on for 6 months.

I signed up for services with Joshuah including mice control. The last time they were out I told them we were still having problems with mice in our basement. Their solution was treatment of the outside of our home nothing on the inside of our home. Last week we woke to no water in our house. After consulting a plumber and a well gut we found the reason we had no water was mice had chewed through the wiring so there was no electricity going to the pump. This information and repair cost us $880.00. The supervisor offered me a return treatment and a $40 coupon towards our next treatment. I am beyond angry and will not be renewing.

When they tell you that they will come out quickly to dispose of your rodents in traps, that means 5-7 days. When they say they're in your area everyday, they're not. They won't even give a time frame as to what time of the day they can come. So I'm supposed to miss a whole day of work for this. But they already have my money and I literally have no other option because I don't want rats in my house. The technicians that have come out have always been great. Very professional and nice guys. Hopefully the company treats their employees better than they treat their customers

I've used this company for a couple of years for pest control. For the most part, they were fine until I had their free termite inspection. The inspector went into my basement and, under thirty seconds, declared I had termites. Not only that, but it was one of the worst he'd ever seen. He pointed to two boards downstairs on which I could see no evidence of anything. He then pressured me to sign a contract for termite control for $2,500.
When I would not, he lowered the price to $1,900 and then $1,700. I was adamant I would not sign until I had others look at it. Today I had Terminix and Rottler do inspections. Neither could believe I'd been told I had any termites, let alone, a worst case. One suggested I write a review, so I am doing just that. The other guessed that it was Joshua's who had told me this. I am now terminating my quarterly pest treatments with this company. If you think you have termites, stay away from Zach at Joshua's.

I really didn't have a problem with Joshua's until they came out to do my 1st "quarterly" session. I had called to schedule them a week or so later than the original day they scheduled. We discussed that payment would be made the Monday following the session, as that was when I got paid. They ran the payment the next day. I called and left a message before it cleared my bank to ask for them to stop the payment.
But then it went through and there was a NSF charge, which is there fault. Usually they call back within an hour if I leave a message during business hours, but I have called twice and emailed, still no response. And they comment stating they have left several messages and called numerous times, which is a lie!
