I cannot say enough good things about Eddie. He is consistently prompt, professional, courteous, and genuinely pleasant to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable and always takes the time to explain what he is doing, answer questions, and offer helpful guidance. What really stands out is his kindness and…
Thrasher has excellent communication with friendly staff. Eric was assigned as my technician and he was a pleasure to meet and speak with. He empathized with my concerns and really took the time to inspect and remediate. I feel assured that when I have any issues in the future, he will be there to help. Fingers…
He was very professional. Explained what he was going to do and finished in a timely fashion.
Eddie A. serviced our property on Saturday and was extremely thorough, very professional and very communicative. He called ahead of time and later asked for permission to proceed. He explained everything he did and was very respectful. Excellent service!
Mark was great! He and Ben(?) inspected the room, bedding, carpet, etc searching for bugs which may have caused my grandsons' bites. He explained the process, left the boards and then came back about a week later to ck again. Good job!
Isaiah is a true professional and did a great job. The communication with the Thrasher Team is impressive and appreciated.
Al Oregon, my technician today, was timely, knowledgeable, efficient, effective, and respectful of my home. Most important to me was that he exhibited unmatched courtesy, but was also really personable. He should be an instructor in client satisfaction to the rest of the Thrasher technicians. Addendum - Ben…
Ricardo was very professional, thorough and pleasant. I am very happy with his service.
Off to a great start. Thanks Ricardo.
Our experience with this company was great, and Christian was the best. Professional, courteous, kind and got the job done! We had pests and they were eradicated after the 2 scheduled visits. We think bugs are gross, and Christian was kind enough to thoroughly check the house before and after treatment and called to…
Ricardo was great! He addressed all my questions fully, and took care of the treatment of my home completely. Thank you Ricardo!! Thank you Thrasher Pest Control!
Miguel is the best. He always texts me before coming to my home. He always reads my notes and knows what I need. We usually take a few moments to talk about family and vacations. Today he even came back to our patio to clean up a little extra problems with rodents. What a professional. I appreciate him and the service he provides. Thank you, Miguel!
I loved Isiah! He was prompt, professional, communicated clearly, very knowledgeable and very likable. So happy he is our new technician!! We just changed to Thrasher pest control and very happy we did.
Thank you Robert for keeping our rental maintained from the pesty critters.
Very competent and respectful service. We appreciate all Christian does for us and highly recommend the Thrasher team for all pest control needs.
Edoardo was professional, efficient and friendly. I would recommend him and Thrasher highly!
Christian did a thorough job. He’s technically astute, conscientious, and a personable individual. This was an initial service. So far, services have been outstanding! Look forward to my continuing relationship with Thrasher Pest Control.
Eddie was on time, professional, and responsive. Great experience.
Ricardo did an excellent job today! He showed up right on time and even sent a text ahead of his arrival, which I really appreciated. He took the time to listen to the pest issues we were having and explained the treatment process. He treated the entire house thoroughly while working efficiently, and the whole visit…
I truly love Thrasher. All the techs and admin are super kind, helpful and efficient. Their model works really well for what I need, and I absolutely value the service they offer.
Working with Thrasher Pest Control is easy and efficient. We have the monthly program that provides all the services we need. Our most recent service was with Isaiah, who was communicative, professional, and friendly. Due to a conflict with work, I was unable to meet as planned. However, Isaiah called me and was…
Ricardo was great.
Super great communication pre-visit with office, and scheduled initial visit very quickly. Ricardo did a great job in inspecting my home and explaining the short-term and long-term plan (stupid ants!!). Friendly staff and on time.
Ricardo was excellent! He addressed every issue thoroughly and did an outstanding job removing all the cobwebs. His attention to detail and pride in his work were truly appreciated. Thank you for the exceptional service!
This is our first service with Thrasher Pest Control. Ben spent almost one hour spraying and inspecting the house perimeter. I have the general pest control, rodents and mosquitoes services on a monthly service. Seems he did a good job. Will see in couple of weeks.
The technicians from Thrasher are reliable. We have had minimal problems with pests since hiring Thrasher.
Christian came out to do an inspection because I was getting bug bites but hadn't seen any bugs. He was friendly and knowledgeable and did a very thorough job. Once he figured out what the bugs were, I had him do 2 extermination treatments. They were very successful!
Ricardo was timely and informative
Explained the service process and was very efficient and courteous
Rabeka is the most thorough and professional pest control person I have ever known. She goes above and beyond for her customers and thrives on excellent service. I highly recommend Rabeka and Thrasher Pest Control for your home of business.
Andre was thorough and professional. He took the time to confer with us regarding areas that needed additional treatment. We highly recommend him as a technician.
Excellent service
I have been using Thrasher for years for regular pest control and when we moved Damien came in and quickly solved all our issues. He was courteous and was insistent on following the beat practices of the company, going so far as to not enter the house without shoe covers. The professionalism and results mean Thrasher has a customer for life.
First time. Tech was very pleasant. His report did not list spiders (just ants) which were on our complaint list - I think he treated for them??? If not he needs to come back.
Eddie A. was great to work with. He was on time, very professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions. He even went above and beyond by giving me some helpful advice on dealing with a rodent issue and ways to help keep it from coming back. Really appreciated the extra effort and great customer service.…
Robin was very helpful in providing me with a quote and explaining the services provided. When I had questions and concerns, she addressed them and made me feel comfortable in discussing options. I am glad that the company does a great job in training staff and is conscious of their products being safe for people…
Dominic Norris did a great job, covered our entire property, spoke with my husband about any concerns we may have had.
Cordial, responsive, prompt. Explained everything he was doing very well
Andy did a great job as always! Great communication and super helpful!
Rebekah is very good at communicating with me. She gives timely updates to her arrival so that I can have my dogs out of the yard.
I had two free inspections with Thrasher, one for termites and one for rodents. Rolando and Raul were both highly punctual and professional. The knowledge each technician had was apparent, and they were very friendly and forthcoming with answering questions and providing advice. They each noticed key things that…
Domanic was very friendly and professional. He did a great job and was very thorough in spraying the perimeter of my house.
Super knowledgeable and friendly! Treated our yard the same day and we already see dead insects around the yard! Looking forward for more results. Prices seem reasonable after the initial down payment. Monthly fee is about $100 for insects, mosquitoes, and gophers.
Sebastian is a technician for Thrasher Pest Control and has been servicing my home with regular treatments for a while now. I am really pleased with his work and how he manages concerns I have with pest issues on my property. He takes time to meet with me about issues and then spends the time to thoroughly address…
Great response time, professional and friendly!
Christian communicated when he was arriving, he arrived on time and did great service. Very pleased with everyone I have spoken and worked with at Thrasher Pest Control.
Isaiah is the best! He is responsive, thorough and kind… I cannot say enough good things about him!
The technician Andy has always done a perfect job.
Isaiah was very thorough in providing our services. He has a very pleasant demeanor.
We had Damian from Thrasher Pest Control out and he was great from start to finish. He showed up on time, explained everything clearly (without making it confusing), and was really mindful of our animals, which I appreciated. Super responsive, professional, and easy to work with. You can tell he actually cares about…
I have general Pest and Gopher service and have been pleased with the service provided.
We’ve had Rolando out with Thrasher Pest Control three times while navigating a big decision, whether to tent or move forward with spot treatment. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and respectful of our concerns. With dogs at home and a saltwater fish and coral tank, this…
Josh was super helpful and thorough. Great experience.
Responsive and timely. Appreciate the service especially the yearly plan that enables me to get support and service as needed. Miguel had been great and targets areas I need the most
Excellent service from Edoardo today. He walked me through all aspects of what his company will do, pointed out areas no one else did for treatment! He laid traps for rodents and will then seal off any entry points on my home after trapping is complete.
Great experience! One call and Damian was out the next day, highly recommend. Thank you!
Mark Vollenweider is thorough and always pleasant. He has done a great job for us for many years
Im skeptical when hiring a company and I base it on their costumer service . This company has been great with communication and timing with their services . I had another pest control company before that was HORRIBLE with communicating anything . Robin was great at scheduling and answering every question I had…
This was my first service with Thrasher, now retaining them for quarterly routine pest control. The technician (Eric) was professional, patient, and answered any questions thoroughly.
We’ve had a really good experience with our pest control technician Sebastian. He’s always punctual and professional.. He’s thorough during each visit and makes sure to check all the areas that might be prone to pest activity. What we appreciate most is that he’s respectful of our property and keeps things neat…
Great service, thank you Christian & Thrasher!
My family has been using Thrasher Pest Control since we moved to San Diego over four years ago. Every technician we have had over the years has been knowledgable, helpful, punctual, and kind. When you call, rather than getting an automated answering machine you get a human being, any time of day, who is willing to…
Mark is always wonderful to chat with and provides great service.
Josue was thorough and informative. We're feeling good about our pest control in the future with Thrasher.
Edoardo did an excellent job, my renters were concerned there was a dead rodent or animal behind the wall due to a smell but Edoardo assured them it wasn’t the case and gave them tips on how to notice if there are rodents. He walked the whole unit with them and assured them the unit is pest free which is a relief for me
We have used Thrasher Pest Control for many years and the service is always efficient and effective. Today my service technician, Andy, did an exemplary job. He was very polite and personable and kept me informed of his arrival time. He explained everything thoroughly and did a very professional job. We left him in…
Eduardo and Thrasher trapped some rodents that accessed our crawl space. He also sealed the crawl space.
Mark from Thrasher in Coronado is reliable, communicative, and always thinking ahead to prevent or solve problems. Have worked with him for years and always appreciate his professionalism!
