Service clearly was here and the proof: we found a dead scorpion inside our home just in front of our back door.😂 Not sure why they like to come in our house to die. 😬
Ryan always does a great job. Very professional and attentive to his job. Always great experience.
Free additional ants spray because of this abnormal temperature. Super easy to schedule and the worker is very professional and nice. Enjoy my experience so far.
They came when it was dark - I am not sure how you can do pest control when you can’t see.
Great job ! Thank you Ryan !
I didn’t see all that she did but it seems she was very thorough. I had no idea that I had rodents. My gardener said there was no evidence of any rodents when he was here last month.
Daniel's customer service a detailed oriented work ethic is awsome. Great customer service. I highly recommend Joshua's Pest Control!!! Great job
I had my quarterly pest control inspection and spraying; Seji was extremely helpful and personable. He sprayed inside and outside, removed the spider webs from the house both from the eaves as well as the base of the house. Excellent service!
The Joshua technician texted ahead of coming as requested. Did a very good and thorough job. Excellent service, highly recommend!
Great service as we moved from one house to another home nearby. They were able to transfer our account quickly and send a technician out the next day when we moved in to a very active ant situation!!
Jesus was a pleasure to work with. He addressed a concern about ants on our patio, and performed all the regular maintenance. Joshua's is lucky to have him.
Alvin was on time,dressed very professionally. Was very knowledgeable about insects. Your Co is lucky to have an employee like him. 5 outta 5 Alvin was.
Megan did a great job. Explained what she was going to do and when completed she provided an assessment of the situation and next steps.
Saul was/is Excellent! Professional! Knowledgeable! And, very kind! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I thank he did a very good job. He did what we asked you to do.
Jeffrey showed up around 8:30am. I briefly spoke to him through our camera. I didn't want to be rude, so I spoke directly with him on the side of the house. He was friendly. He was ready to get started. I went inside. He completed his work and left.
Jeffery did an amazing job ! Above and beyond! He was very friendly and answered all my questions. And he listened to all my concerns with professionalism! I would like to request Jeffery for all my upcoming services.
Ryan knows his stuff and is always helpful and listens to the customer! His attention to details and professionalism are top notch!
Blake did a great job for us! He was very clear about our options and situation regarding the termite inspection. We love Joshua's!
The customer service Joshua’s provides is excellent! They are always polite and if I call for an extra visit they always accommodate. Their technicians are knowledgeable and go the extra mile!
Very friendly and efficient. Answered all my questions and concerned and went about his work conscientiously
Quick & explained procedure & safety
Sebastian did what seemed like a very thorough job! Very personable
Thank you so much it’s been a while since someone has as detailed as you 😬🙌🙌🙌
Great professional and friendly service. Above and beyond
First time they came out. They were awesome. All the webs leftover from the previous pest control company are gone. The outside of the house looks amazing. The technician noticed the areas where he could see the ants and the spiders and treated them without me having to point it out.
Very professional and patient. Treated outside and inside very well.
Seji did a good work to communicate with me on each steps. He sprayed outside house and garage. Good jobs!

Michael and Jason(Carl) were very professional and knowledgeable
James B. and Joshua treated my home for spiders and “all insects”. They thoroughly removed all cobwebs in the eaves before spraying. They treated not just the exterior of the home and the ADU, but also two sheds and a carport. They were prompt and arrived (and completed the job) within the 2-hour window we agreed to…

Christopher was the best. Extremely friendly, explained everything that was going to be done and did a thorough job. Also left us with extra ant traps to deal with the current invasion. Forgot to mention snails, but it didn't matter because he noticed a few and took care of them as well. 10/10 service and also…
Jordan serviced our home today and was amazing! Very professional, explained everything he was helping us with, and made sure our pets and family were safe! Thank you Jordan for excellent customer service. We are very satisfied with the company and with Jordan’s expertise and service.

Sebastian was great. The service was exactly what was described it would be & he was very thorough in the job and letting us know what was completed and the plan going forward.
Very professional and non intrusive. I have used Joshua’s for quarterly maintenance for 5 years. When I first started service with them, I had rodents on the property and ants in the house. Since they started servicing my property, all these issues have been eliminated. Thanks Joshua’s!
Joshua’s Pest Control is great. Jonah helped with some issues with mice around my grill and put down some snail bait to control the snails in my yard. Their technicians always are happy to help with whatever is my latest pest issue. I highly recommend them!

Highly recommend Joshua’s Pest Control. They were able to quickly schedule an appointment and came out the day after I called. James B. and Josh W. were both professional, kind, and very thorough in helping us deal with a rodent problem. If I ever have issues again, I will absolutely be using their services.
Great job! Quick, thorough, and courteous.
Ive used Joshua's Pest Control for years. They have the best technicians who service your property. All are excellent, but Ryan is the best and a step above!

Cristobal (Cris) was PHENOMENAL!!! He took his time explaining everything and answering all of my questions. 10/10 would recommend Cris to service your property.
Chris did such a wonderful job. He listened to the concerns and proceeded with extra work to make sure that our needs met. Thank you so much, Chris!
Great service Leonel! Thank you
James B. came out and did a great job! He was diligent in checking the entire property. He got all the spider webs and proactively caught ants before they became a problem. I rely on this regular service to keep the pests out and away. Thanks, James!!
They exterminate quarterly & come out for free between exterminations. James B & Josh W were great.
Update Just want to add a star to the review ****** (6) can't do that can I. Chris, Armando and Marcus were the work crew that removed and replaced our old insulation with new, rodent resistant insulation. They showed up promptly, communicated well, and had great customer relations. Polite, friendly, quiet while…
For the past 5 years I’ve used Joshua’s. Service is Excellent !!! And Ryan does the Best job protecting our house from rats!
I have been using Joshuas Pest Control for 3 years. I always feel pleased with their service & all of their technicians are kind & happy to help. I have not had an ant problem inside the house or out since becoming a customer of Joshuas. I also get a more pet/child friendly natural treatment. Very happy about this!!
Excellent customer service
Christopher was detailed in his approach and did a quick and thorough job.
James B was great
Quick, friendly and knowledgeable service today by James. Joshua’s has worked great for us for years.

Maxwell did a pretty good job at our house with spraying and web removal. There were a number of spider webs that he missed in the back yard however. But otherwise a good job
Jonah was amazing! He did a great job and was very polite and helpful. Thank you!!
Very reliable and thoughtful technician!
Professional and efficient. I wasn’t home, but everything was taken care of with gate closed behind him.
The treatment was done by Jay and he was very thorough and even came inside to get rid of a spider living in my skylight! Very personable and efficient.
James was very friendly and confident about what my concerns were and ready to resolve the problems!
James B. was great!
Field expert James B. from Joshua’s is responsible and thorough! He explained to us how they are going to deal with the rats from the canyon with the bait boxes. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We are glad we are with Joshua’s!
We’ve been using Joshua’s for our pest control needs for nearly a decade. We are more than happy with their service 😊 The first year in the house was difficult because is was infested with field mice and spiders, and the kitchen counter had a thriving ant hill in it 😱 Not only we’re they able to get rid of them…
