Bakersfield Pest Control

Took days to get a call back. Bugs never left after initial treatment but this exterminator is nowhere to be found.

Goes to show you… this customer you speak of wasn’t even me. My experience occurred years back… you only serviced my home a matter of a few months. There is NO way I would have allowed you to service my home for a few years!!! Get your facts and customers right!

We first called Bakersfield Pest Control on a totally out of control ant problem over 10 years ago. I have used the bi-​monthly service ever since. This is a family run business, very professional and have always worked around our schedule. I have had zero problems with pests since they started taking care of our home. I highly recommend the company.

I hired Bakersfield Pest Control to come to my home and spray, after which we still had a problem. I tried and talked to the owner, Lynn, who became very rude and pretty much blamed me for the problem. After I informed him that I no longer wanted his services, he started sending me bills for all sort of charges (Refuse Service Fees, Cancellation Fees, etc.) claiming that I signed a contract. When he could not provide written proof of a contract, he then switched his story to saying that I entered into a verbal contract with him. It has now been 7 months later and I have tried several times to resolve the issue with them and they have not been willing.
Also check on the BBB website, they are not accredited and have 3 billing complaints that have been filed against them.
*Bottom Line* Beware they will probably say you entered into a contract with them also, and you will end up with a lot more charges on your bill than you bargained for and still have pest problems.

don’t use! billing is a nightmare! overcharged and then added late fees for the overcharge!

After shopping around a bit I gave this company a call seeing that they were local and asked if they could match the best price I had found. I was speaking with the owner and he agreed to match it but as with just about anything there was a yearly contract to be held to. Since we have not been unhappy with the service. We do have to remind them they can’t treat without appointment as we have dogs and do not leave our gate unlocked. We have requested them to service areas near our home at a park across the street as we have a toddler who frequents there and they have obliged. The last time they came out they didn’t knock on the door although we were home so we may have to have them back out but overall seems to be a good company and they are locally owned as the name implys.

After a 2 month battle with fire ants, they decided to make their way from the kitchen into the nursery. That was the last straw, they called «war» as soon as they got onto my newborn’s changing pad.
I did a google search when I came across Bakersfield Pest Control. I called and had the pleasure of speaking with a gentleman named Lynn. I’m all about supporting local businesses and this particular pest control company had that small town (in a good way) feel, friendly and honest people working for it. Lynn was so nice that he told me that whether or not we decide to hire them to service our home, to make sure whoever we hire to do the job uses a product called Termidor which is one of (if not «THE») best product to get rid of ants (and other pests) for good. He mentioned it poisons them and they bring it back to their home and it spreads like the flu killing them.
When they arrived to spray the outside perimeter of the house and the inside floor boards, the gentleman that came to do the work was also so incredibly friendly and trustworthy. I wouldn’t go with any other Pest Control company after having received such wonderful service. Most importanly, we do not have any more ants or pest problems!
