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…
I really like Sebastian. He was calm, thorough and I felt supported
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…
Ricardo was able to fit us in on a busy day and help us with our ant problem. He is reliable and knowledgeable.
Ricardo was on time and did the treatment thoroughly.
From booking through to the appointment everything was quick and painless! Great service, very friendly, kind folks. Eddie our technician was great! Will definitely use them again.
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…
After my pest company cancelled an appointment because a tech called in sick (it happens, no big deal) I was told the next available appointment would be a week away. A week is a long time to have ants on parade in your kitchen and bathrooms. Thrasher was at my house the next day and Ben took care of the issue in…
Andy Gutierrez showed up on time, was polite and helpful. He located places where the ants were coming into the house, places I hadn't noticed, and treated all those areas. He will check back in two weeks to see if any further treatments are needed. I would highly recommend him.
We’ve been using Thrasher’s services for going on 7 years now and we can’t say enough good things about this company and their employees. Our main guy is Mark and he really goes above and beyond to make sure he keeps our place free from bugs and nasty little critters. Mark is why we have stayed with them and will…
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!
Sebastian is very knowledgeable and nice and fast in getting the job done .
Wonderful service, and our tech is honest with the work being done and able to work around our families crazy schedule. I recommend Thrasher pest control and the no contract no gimmick is very refreshing in the past control world because it holds all parties accountable.
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.
Edoardo was thorough in inspecting the areas affected by bed bugs. He answered our questions as he inspected. He provided 3 options for eradication and was able to provide a quote for the selected method before he left.
Christian was great, prompt, informative, kind. After he arived he got right to it without disrupting my morning. We discussed my dog and the importance of following safety guidlines to ensure the health and well being of her as it relates to the products he was spraying both inside and out. before i knew it he…
Our technician Eddie was fantastic. He was on time, he communicated well and did a thorough job. Thank you Eddie!
Very competent and respectful service. We appreciate all Christian does for us and highly recommend the Thrasher team for all pest control needs.
Mark is a great ambassador for Thrasher and does a great job. Super easy to work with and shares his expertise
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…
Mark, from Thrasher, is such a pleasure to have in my home and I consider him a real professional & friend. He is friendly and courteous too. I have used them for termite work and was very pleased with their work too!
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…
Excellent as always. On time and efficient.
Quick response! Thorough inspection! Thanks Andres!
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 great. Huge fan of Thrasher Pest Control. Have mitigated my rodent and insect problems.
On time and very professional.
Isaiah came out today to do our monthly service treatment. What a nice young man! He was so kind and professional and friendly! He took his time to explain everything to me and answered all of my questions. He was respectful of property. He didn’t rush the service and made sure everything was done with care. Thank…
The technicians from Thrasher are reliable. We have had minimal problems with pests since hiring Thrasher.
Explained treatment plan in detail
Excelente servicio, siempre disponibles cuando necesitas, precios razonables.
Found sources of ants sprayed house inside and outside.
The technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. Worked very efficiently. Just waiting on results of the job to see if follow ups are needed.
Quick and reliable
I cannot recommend Mark enough for pest control services! He is incredibly professional, thorough, and always goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. Mark is not only great at what he does, but he’s also such a kind and trustworthy person. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about his clients and…
Raul was great 👍🏻
Christian serviced our property (interior and exterior) for ants and did an excellent job. He clearly explained the service, listened to my concerns, and presented the monthly membership option without being pushy—which I appreciated, as that's always been a red flag with the two other pest control companies I've…
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.
Very professional and thorough. Answered all my questions.
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.
Thrasher has been great. Everyone I have spoken with or had at the house has been professional, polite, and very helpful. I can't remember her name now (I'm sorry), but the first person I spoke with to schedule our termite inspection was very friendly, polite and informative. I was able to schedule an inspection…
Andres tells me that he is now the East County guy and my bugs are NOT HAPPY!!! Thanks for the good job.
Sebastian let me know when he was arriving for the service, explained what he would do and completed the service in a timely manner and let me know when he was done and when we could safely re-enter the house.
I've had nothing but great experiences with Thrasher. I've been returning to Thrasher whenever any pest issues pop up because they are reliable, quick to respond, and have great customer service. I've had the pleasure of working with Christian, their expert tech, every time and he is a pretty awesome dude. He's…
He was courteous and knowledgeable, as were the people that answered the phone there at the rasher. Very easy to work with.
Isiah did a great job. He took extra time to remove spider webs from patio chairs and tables, in addition to house eaves.
Ricardo was great! Thorough & answered all my questions.
Sebastian was great!
Friendly knowledgeable service
Ricardo called ahead and arrived within his eta. He also wore booties upon entering our house which I really appreciated. Sprayed inside and outside and was done quickly. Great service thanks!
Isaiah was very thorough in providing our services. He has a very pleasant demeanor.
I pay quarterly for service. Miguel is my tech that usually comes. We used to have ant problems before we got the service. They've helped a lot with making sure that hasn't been an issue and they come as needed in addition to the quarterly appointments. So when we had a couple of wasp nests starting to grow they…
Our experience with Thrasher and our tech was great.
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
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.
Isaiah came to our house for our regular treatment service. He communicated with me to let me know when he would arrive & took great care of us & our home. Thank you very much Isaiah & Team Thrasher! You guys are excellent.
Mark helped us with an ant invasion! He was thorough, knowledgeable and got rid of the problem quick with advice on preventing for the future. Great experience!
