Clark Pest Control

They gave me a reasonanble estimate and offered helpful tips, but they wanted to sign me up for a monthly service, rather than solve the problem, so I’m still shopping.

This is the first time I worked with Clark Pest Control. Thanks Cohen and Ian very much for the great work They are professional, polite, and on time. I will work with them again when needed.

I came to Clark for help with a rodent issue. Unfortunately I caught a rodent in my house without any help of their efforts. What I can say about Clark is this: My tech is honest. Because I live In a town home with shared walls he said the problem needs to be addressed by the homeowners in the same building. I’m not exactly happy that he can’t do exclusion work on my home just because he can’t do it on the other homes. He is always on time. I’ve read all these horrible reviews about technician showing up two hours late. Fortunately with my technician Mike that is not the case. I signed up for peace of mind service. So far I’ve only had to call him out once in between regular services and that is when I caught the rodent. It has been two months since I have signed up for their service. They address any other issues that I have which is nice also. When going with smaller companies you have to pay per pest problem. So all in all I have to say with Clark the customer service has been great. However I’m not so happy about the inability for them to do exclusion service work. I will update my review as time goes by

Clark gave us our house back! The ants had taken over and no amount of cleanliness, Raid, ant traps, etc. was going to make them go away. We tried for 17 years to beat them back. Each of the technicians who has provided service at our house has been efficient, able, unobtrusive and very pleasant. Clark is worth every dollar they charge. Neighbors complain about their pest control people, but we have no complaints. Highly recommend them.

I’ve been using Clark for several years now, and I couldn’t be happier! A few years ago, I had, shall we say, a rodent under my house. I even named him Rodney the Rodent because he was so persistent. Clark went above and beyond in identifying the problem (entry spot in the garage) — and the solution! All at no extra charge, even after three separate visits!

We have been with Clark Pest Control’s regular service for several years. They are always professional, polite, and on time. If I ever have issues between a service, they send a technician out quickly to resolve it.

We’ve had Clark for more than five years and are very happy. They are reliable and always show up when they are scheduled. They accommodate our Saturday requests. They come out as often as needed for additional visits at no cost. The techs know what they are doing and they remove all spider webbing each time they visit. The cost is a little more than some of their competitors and we considered switching at one point to save a few bucks but decided to stay with Clark since they’ve done such a good job for us.

Clark technicians worked for many months to solve my roof rat problem. Clark persisted, they found me someone to seal my roof, and I have not had a problem for 2 years. They earned my loyalty. I have used Clark for over 20 years & would not switch. Great service!

We’ve had Clark for years. As of Jun 2015, Josiah Smith has given us the best service, making sure to inform us in advance before he comes so we can bring in the cat stuff before the spraying. Although I’d tried repeatedly to get this notice, we didn’t get it. Josiah also checks with us to see if there is anything special that he needs to pay attention to.

I wish I could give them no stars. Had this outfit for little over year. Every time a new person showed up to spray… and I had to show him where to spray. Once they didn’t have enough chemical to spray and had to come back. We had them on camera and another time they walked in to a room to spray and walked right out without spraying. But the real clincher was when they sent a person who was just hired who COMPLETELY ruined our interior. Sprayed walls and cabinets with solution that stained. Obviously the solution was not correct. The person above the kid that ruined our interior wanted to bring the guy back out to correct it… ARE YOU KIDDING! I didn’t want any of CLARKE near our home. The salesperson was nice but the technicians don’t stay around long enough so there is absolutely NO CONTINUITY. This company is so big, they just don’t seem to care. Not a good company

My husband and I have been pleased with the level of service provided by Clark Pest Control for rodent abatement, which has required several visits in the first month to identify and fix problem areas in our attic, roof and under the house, as well as checking and re-​setting traps. I am particularly grateful that they take anyway any dead rats/​mice. We’ve mainly worked with Technician Josiah, who is friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and provides excellent customer service. We will happily and confidently continue to utilize their service throughout the year to maintain rodent control, as well as insect and spider eradication.

At first I had a issue but Mike was incredibly helpful and made sure I was taken care of. I really appreciate the help.

We had some bad problems with termites and dry rot. The inspector did a good job and gave us a fair price for the fixes that were needed. They even had a follow up with a visit from the supervisor afterwards to make sure all the work they did was good. I would use them again

I recently called Clark Pest Control because we had a small problem with mice. Their technician Josiah pinpointed the source of the problem within 15 minutes. We were very impressed and pleased, because my wife freaks out at even the sight of a harmless garden spider. Clark Pest Control also arrived about four hours after my initial call. We will definitely use them again if we have another critter problem. Thank you!

I am not satisfied with the solutions Clark provides for your pest problems. They are not able to solve our Ant problem in more than 3 months now. I still see lots of ants outside my house. Whenever you call them regarding the problem, they will come and spray it out. However, the problem doesn’t go away. So, this rating is based on their ability to solve the problem. However, their customer service is good and they are very responsive. They come out on a short notice to check the problem. If problem is not resolved, you find an unhappy customer at the end.

Ever since we moved into our Berkeley house a year and a half ago, we have had trouble with Argentine ants. They spend most of the year crisscrossing the yard in lines of hundreds of thousands, and in the winter they come up into the house however they can. They’ve eaten zinc lozenges, candy, and cat food, but mostly they seem to just like wandering around in great numbers. They even discovered that they could get into the kitchen through an electrical outlet, and after a pyrotechnic blast we had to replace the outlet.
At the positive recommendation of my father-​in-​law, we gave Clark Pest Control a call. Their telephone support staff are friendly and schedule appointments as soon as you need them. The service takes the form of regular monthly visits involving a general inspection of the property and the use of organic but effective (and pleasant-​smelling) insecticides to keep the pests at bay, but once you’ve paid for the monthly service, Clark will stop by whenever you need them to address issues that have come up — at no additional charge! I really have recovered my peace of mind knowing that if I see lines of ants, we can do something about it within hours, relying on experts — I just don’t have to worry about it myself anymore.
And speaking of experts, I could not recommend more highly our regular technician Josiah Smith, who has identified and eliminated countless ant nests on our property (while keeping an eye on spiders, wasps, and countless other things whose names I may not even know — he even has advice about those nearly microscopic creepy-​crawlies that infest fruit and vegetable plants). Since Josiah started working on our situation, we simply have not had any insect invasions into the house, and in our yard we are much more likely to see butterflies than pests. In addition to possessing superior entomological knowledge and applying himself diligently to his work, Josiah is an absolute delight to have around. Yes; I look forward to visits from the exterminator. How’s that for a recommendation?

I’ve had a pest control guy named David visit my house for the past 3 weeks now, and All hes done is gone up to the attic, stay for 5 – 15 min and then come down and leave. We have a squirl, which I managed to trap in the Roof, however every damn time the pest control tech leaves, 20 min later I CAN hear the squirl trying to scratch his way thru my Living room ceiling. hes made 1 hole alraedy, and like I’ve said, Its been 3 weeks now or close to 16 work days, since this «david» tried to Catch the thing, my mom wants to… IDK what she wants to do with him, but my sisters have spent $ 250 Dollars on this incompetent fool, and hes not caught one thing. its march 29, 2013 and I could notice there was a 2^nd SQUIRL, so its already believe that the first squirl who got away was a female squirl and was pregnant. if you still reading this,
I hope you, share this information to your friends and loved ones, DONT TRUST THEM, they cant do their jobs in regards to anything larger than a roach.
Ask yourself this, and consider your loved ones and family members, WOULD YOU REALLY SPEND, $ 250.00 on a Tech professional, to get nothing accomplished?

Wow! If I could give negative stars I would, for this is the worst pest control company and even worse is the service provided by this satellite office in Livermore California.
Talk about the worst customer service you can imagine.
I have or rather I had, a service contract with Clark for service every other month.
I guess their guarantee is not worth the ink they used to write the gaurantee on the service contract. What cheapskates.
Let me explain …
I use Clark pest control in order to control the amount of black widows in my backyard. When I call for an additional service (guaranteed intermittently at no Additional charge) I usually have quite a difficult time scheduling a follow up.
Recently we’ve been flagged or should I say discriminated against because we call for intermittent service, again guaranteed to be free if necessary. Perhaps if they did the job right the first time I wouldn’t have wasp nests and black windows all the time in my front and back yards. I pay the full price and don’t even get the inside of my house serviced ever. Also they always take the liberty of using my hose to fill their tanks.
Well, sounds like someone at Clark thought we were bothersome customers and chose to retaliate against us. According to a senior manager, with whom I spoke, named Dave Erickson he, verbatim, told me that we were: «customers who have called a gazillion times». I guess they don’t care about doing the job right just charging $ 99 for a 20 minute visit every 2 months. I cut into their profit margin.
Although they guarantee that the customer will be happy, when it doesn’t accommodate them; Clark pest control, they choose to raise the rates.
They were about to double my service fee when I called to talk about the problem. Terrence Wilson, who is the account manager, for my account, seemed to me as if he could care less about the customer service he provided and told me that he would be happy to charge me again and after wards have me walk away (In other words charge me for a followup service that is supposed to be free and then have me cancel my account.)
I was going to add my parents house to the account but they prefer to walk away from both of our houses rather than provide customer service.
I have a newsflash for Clark Pest Control we don’t need you; you’ve got a lot of competition out there!
PS– your formula obviously doesn’t work because I have the same amount of spiders as before and I have spiderwebs everywhere, so much for a de-​webbing promise.
Btw–
Email I received from the Clark Manager letting know that their formulation is basically not as effective as promised when I hired them a few years ago:
«The products we previously utilized had long lasting, residual effects and controlled the various pests maintained under your current service differently. Today, we are utilizing materials that are less persistent, which means that the level of control that you have come to expect from Clark Pest Control to control the spider situation is not achievable on an alternate monthly basis. As you may have noticed, we have had to come out more frequently to control between your alternate monthly visits to get better control of the spider problem. We have tried to absorb the costs, but in order to continue to provide the high level of customer service and the reliable pest control you have come to expect from Clark Pest Control, it has become necessary that we change your service frequency from alternate monthly to monthly.»

I was getting spiders in my house and my plants outside were littered with spiders. I had an addition to the family coming and wanted to rid my yard, and ultimately my house, of these pests. Clark came, we settled on every two months, 95 bucks a visit. Not once did they ever do the job. They would leave and my bushes would still be littered with webs. After they would go spiders would be gone for… a few hours. When I brought this up they said I should of called them, they argued with me that it wasn’t my job, as I wasn’t paying me to stop the spiders, I was paying them. To end, they did come out in an attempt to keep my business and used a broom to bash on all my bushes and sprayed everything down with the non-​working bug spray they used, spiders were back by that evening.
Clark Pest Control is actually are the worst company, not only pest control, that I have ever dealt with.

David Martinez came for the first inspection and actual treatment of my subterranean termites. Clark was our second opinion and we decided to go with them for treatment. My bug issue was a conundrum indeed. How were bugs that live in the ground popping up in my penthouse condo 4^th floor living room? No one else in my building has complained about them but I have personally killed/​vacuumed up hundreds of swarmers. To my dismay, I have also seen wings (but no bugs yet) on the windowsill of my daughter’s room directly below our living room.
They shot some foam along the base boards where I have seen the bugs emerge yesterday. Hopefully with all of this rain we are having, it is good timing because they usually emerge after a rain, when warm weather settles in. We will see if this is the end or not…
