Quell Pest Control at a glance

Customers frequently praise the company for professional, thorough, and friendly service, noting that technicians are punctual, informative, and respectful of their homes. However, recurring criticisms highlight aggressive door-to-door sales tactics, including false claims about neighbor services and difficulty canceling contracts or receiving promised treatments. Reviewers also mention inconsistent arrival times and dissatisfaction with billing practices, contrasting sharply with the positive experiences of existing customers who value the convenience and communication provided during scheduled visits.

Horrible company to work with. I moved and have repeatedly tried to cancel service. They keep servicing my old house and won’t cancel the service call. I would avoid this company like the plague. Absolutely disgusting to deal with.

Huston was amiable, efficient, and knowledgeable. Fantastic job. Edit: second review Emilio came and was knowledgeable, thorough, and answered every question I had. I asked him to do some extra work and spray in my house and he got that done easily and quickly with with enthusiasm. I highly appreciate his work and would like as my regular guy.

Extremely aggressive sales tactics. Read on yelp online Google AI. If you don’t go with them their field reps get very angry and storm off.

Hi Marie, looks like we asked you to call the office over a month ago to cancel the service. You said you would call and never have. We do ask that all customers call the office to cancel. Please call and a manager can get you taken care of.
