Great Basin Termite & Pest Control

I found black widows in the house and outside my sliding glass door. I, of course, looked up pest companies that could come out right away. I called a big name popular place to get a quote and they quoted $ 250 for a one time spray and encouraged me to sign a year contract. That sounded very expensive so I looked on Unilocal and found that this place had great reviews. They fit me in the same day I called. Adam showed up on time and was very friendly and professional. He sprayed the outside, inside baseboards, and crawlspace and it was $ 125. He even let me know about cars being parked in the garage for extended periods of time and how they can become homes to rodents that can damage the interior and wiring. There’s a 30 day guarantee so if I see any more spiders they’ll come back. Now I can sleep. House spiders are one thing but black widows are plain scary!

This is the third year we’ve used Great Basin for our yearly ant infestation. Although they said it might take up to two weeks to see full results, we haven’t had any ant sightings since they came. Adam arrived a little before our scheduled appointment, and explained what he was going to do. He was very thorough and professional. He did the exterior, interior and crawl space. The products they use are people and pet friendly and we didn’t have any problems with toxic smells running us out of the house. Well worth the money and I always like supporting, small local (owner-​operator) businesses. I am glad to see Dusty is busy enough to have Adam on his team! p. s.- I would give a sixth star if I could just because Adam told me I couldn’t mop for 10 days :)

I used Great Basin Termite & Pest Control for a pest inspection when I bought my first house in 2011. The report was done by the owner (Dusty) and it came up with no issues. 3 years later I decided to sell the house. I used Great Basin Termite & Pest Control again for the pest inspection since I had to pay for it for the buyers of my house. This time one of Dusty’s employees did the inspection and the inspection failed because there was a lot of 2X4s and other loose wood in the crawl space. I cleared out all the wood and then had to pay for a re-​inspection which passed. I had not gone under the house once in that 3 year span so that wood was there when Dusty did the first inspection 3 years ago. I called and asked him if he had a copy of the first inspection he did for me and he said no. When I told him I had the copy in front of me, he «magically» found his copy. He wouldn’t admit he screwed up and I still had to pay for the re-​inspection. For him to miss all that wood on the first inspection, makes me question if he even does a complete inspection.

We were invaded with ants! Great Basin came out and took care of the problem! Came back a week later since the ants decided to reappear and they dusted and sprayed again! Very professional and stands behind their work! Definitely recommend with no hesitation!!!
The product was safe around our dogs and left no marks.

I cannot reccommend Dusty Erickson and Great Basin Termite and Pest Control enough. We had ants no matter what we tried until Dusty came out with his «License to Kill» and took care of it. He was prompt, professional and NOT pricey. His materials are safe for the kids and the dogs and he was more than thorough and efficient. Five stars all the way!

I definitely recommend this company. The owner came out and sprayed my house. He was very professional, friendly and efficient. Most importantly got rid of the pest issues we were having.

This company was very good. The owner (Dusty) met me at my house on my lunch hour and was finished in time for me to get back to work. He sprayed inside and outside, in my crawlspace, my garage, and then answered all my (many) questions about the carpenter ants that have been annoying me recently. No hard sell, a 30 day guarantee, and the product he used was colorless, odorless and (he says) effective. I highly recommend this company.

We had them spray for ants last week, and it was the complete opposite of the experience we had from Pied Piper a year ago. Great Basin charged $ 125 to spray all the baseboards in the house, all around the foundation, and the crawl space. Yes, the guy willingly and cheerfully crawled into the crawl space and did the job! (In the 2 years we’ve been here, numerous people have refused to do anything in the crawl space.) He was also pleasant and efficient. By the way, he is the owner. Most important of all, we have not seen any ants since. He gives a 30-​day guarantee.
Oh – and no one tried to get us to sign up for ongoing services.
(Compare this with Pied Piper a year ago. That guy arrived and announced he didn’t go into crawl spaces. Instead, he set something off at the entrance. He charged $ 75 and stated there was no guarantee. And we still had ants.)
