Maybe an odd review because we didn't actually use their services but you'll understand why I'm giving them 5 stars nonetheless. I had them come out for evidence of rodent activity in the crawl space. The owner of the company came out and inspected the property free of charge and determined that we didn't actually need their services as the activity wasn't new or fresh. They looked for access points and said we were actually pretty buttoned up and work at that point wasn't warranted. They said to call back if there was new activity, but there wasn't anything to do at the moment. I wanted to pay them for the inspection as he spent about an hour on site, but wouldn't let me. In an industry where fear tactics, subscription service and hard sales seem to be the norm, these guys stand out as one of the good ones. I'll definitely be calling them in the future if and when needed...

2 years ago Lived in Mill Valley now for about 5 years after moving from the Sunset, SF. Was not expecting such a rat problem out here. One thing all the realtors forgot to mention, ugh. I have used now three rat companies with no luck and being over charged and then they refuse to come back to check traps! (Insert angry emoji). I found Ryan about two years ago and he was the best. Nice men came over and fixed some holes I didn’t know I had and have only seen one rat since. He was extremely prompt to come out and check why, turns out it was just the last one living in the house. Not to mention he came out and grabbed some dead ones out of the walls. Yuck. Will only use them from now on.
