A customer of Alley Cat for 10 years.
Efficient, comprehensive and quick
Very good, very detailed. I am happy. They came 2nd time, seal few holes missed last time. It is good team.
Thank you so much for your care and kindness.
Fernando with Alley Cat was fantastic to work with! He always was positive and upbeat with a nice smile to greet me. I just bought a house in Berkeley and have been running into problem after problem. Discovered that rats had infested the entire heating system and needed to replace it. Had Alley Cat do exclusion…
Jose did a nice job of disposing of a dead rodent and using camera to inspect vents. He identified the vent that needs to be cleaned throughly and checked all the previous sealing of under cabinets through out the entire house. He also followed up with the company in regards to the "look" of some of the patches done…
He was excellent
9/12/26 Update: Alley Cat took this feedback very seriously and investigated the situation, including the sales rep/inspector. After several conversations and a secondary inspection by another company, it became clear that I did not have new rodent activity. The evidence I'd been shown by Lee was old droppings left…
We've been having an on-and-off rodent problem for a few years. We've gone through three companies. A friend highly recommended Alley Cat - we've never had such thorough service. Starting with an easily scheduled inspection, to a full-day service call wherein a team of three technicians led by Arturo sealed every…
Rats in the home is a daunting and stressful experience, but Alley Cat Rodent Exclusion provided the confidence right away that I could beat the problem. My infestation was limited to the garage, but in all there turned out to be 14 rats in there, most of them babies. Johnny provided a careful, super informative,…
Jose, the technician was helpful. He gave us a call/text to let us know either he was still working with other client or whenever he was on his way. He also was very thorough !
Very thorough and professional inspection of all of our home's potential spots for rat or mice intrusion.
They technician was great.
Excellent service. Thank you mister Carlos
Arnoldo was an A+! Kind, professional, thorough. This is my second survey to rate him - I wrote so much more the first time but it would not send. Very frustrating!! Also, although I have appreciated all the men you sent to deal with my rat issue have been GREAT, I am still dealing with the uproar, upset of rats in…
I would like to thank Alley Cat for the free onsite inspection. We are grateful to Wilder for his professionalism and giving us his honest opinion and recommendation. There was no pressure to avail services if they think you do not need it yet. This business earned my trust and I have already recommended to family…
Aroldo was terrific. Prepared, friendly, thorough!
Arty was very punctual.In fact he was 15 minutes early and texted he was on the way. It’s very unusual to have someone do both.He also took his time looking around where Alley Cat installed metal barriers 2 years ago. He knew where these areas were too as he looked up the work done in May 2024. He was patient with…
Efficient and professional check up after mice exclusion service 4 weeks ago. All clean!!
José was prompt, thorough and professional.
Can't rate this service highly enough. So much better than who we had before. Got rodents? Don't even think twice
Alley cat came in and inspected my home crawl space and attic. They determined that attic was all clear, but that rats had invaded our crawl space. After inspection, a team of 4 men came to clean up rat poop and cover all access holes and set traps. They return in two weeks to check traps.
I went with the good reviews but I was not happy with what happened at my house today. The guy who came was nice but not professional. He pulled out my oven/ stove and didn’t put it back! He went into our master closet packed with all of our hanging clothes and things and asked for a towel. I brought a towel and…
Not only did Fernando (the man who inspected our home) and Augusto arrive on time, they greeted me with warm smiles and explained the day’s processes, answered all my questions and did a fabulous job overseeing a huge task. Augusto, the foreman,and his team were excellent, creating a safe environment for our home…
Hugo Was thorough, competent and delightful to work with. He identified the points of entry into the kitchen and close them off. He also gave advice going forward.
Called Alley Cat because there was rodents under my house. They had a technician come out and assess the situation and told me they would get back to me with an estimate. That never happened. I called a few weeks later to ask about my estimate and they said the technician was on Vacation. They never called back.…
Fernando arrived on time. My contractor toured the basement and exterior walls with him and was impressed by Fernando's knowledge of his work: "He knew exactly where to look and how to take care of the problem." The work which resulted from Fernando's inspection was performed quickly and efficiently. I'm very pleased with Alley Cat.
Kelvin and his team from Alley Cat were exceptional. True experts and absolutely professional
Thorough, professional
Johnny was great. He came on time and did a thorough inspection. He was clear and cordial. The inspection was free of charge.
Worked the entire weekend fixing entry points, cleaning up and setting traps. Responsive to calls and nice crew.
Wilder did a thorough free inspection, documented and presented me with a clear overview of the things he found and a plan for addressing them, and walked me through the quote and answered all my questions. It’s an expensive service, but they are very professional (on time, thorough, and clean up after). One…
Great service, excellent communication, customer service and follow through.
Fast and found the problem and fixed it.
Johnny was prompt, knowledgeable and helpful
From initial inspection to rodent proofing and clean up. to the follow up inspection, everyone was polite and professional. Work was completed on time and as expected.
Hugo was on time, thorough, friendly, and efficient. Five stars!
Augusto and team were stellar and friendly.
My appointment was scheduled for 8am - 10am. The agent arrived around 8:30. I received a text shortly after 8 am advising me that the agent was enroute. He was polite and courteous. He explained each task before beginning the work and then reported his findings and actions. With respect to my three attic areas…
Jose was great
