it was such a pleasure communicating with Joe. he is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything and answer all questions related to rodent proofing, sanitizing, and new insulation. there are many types of insulation and he clarified them all.

Finally decided to deal with an ongoing rodent problem in my basement, especially in light of the recent hantavirus stories in the news. I spent a comprehensive amount of time perusing all of the different options in Los Angeles -- there are a lot of options -- and finally decided upon Rodent Professor based upon…

Joe was great to work with, finished the job in 1 day with his crew (2 others). They sealed entryways on the roof, sides of the roof, crawlspace, etc…anywhere where a rat could get in. Some spots were surprising to find since I never thought rodents could enter through such small sleek openings, so I was glad they…

We contacted Rodent Professor to check out a rodent problem we had. Joe came out and was super knowledgeable and did a thorough inspection. He pointed out potential problems, but did not try to unnecessarily upcharge us for anything. He was honest in his assessment and provided recommendations free of charge. I'd highly recommend Joe and his team.

Joseph and Diego were great. Joseph came over to inspect and explained the entire process. Then Diego and his crew came and sealed up all the openings through which rats could get in. That was done quickly. They also installed a dog door for us.

I checked out the five top rated exterminators in Los Angeles and reached out to several. There was a significant difference between the professional manner Rodent Professor operates and the others. They were pleasant, responsive, amicable, thorough and fair. Jason arrived on time and inspected inside and out.…

When I found out we had a rodent problem I went to Yelp to find companies to come do a free inspection and quote. I had 4 different people come and none were as thorough as Jason!

We just moved into a new house and the previous owners didn't treat the existing pest problem. It was on the top of our list upon settling and I was pleasantly surprised how Rodent Professor got back to me right away even during a holiday weekend. They scheduled an inspection right away and Jason came the next day…
