Industry Recognitions
Kind, knowledgeable.
I don’t often take the time to express my impression of a service provide; be it technical, trades or service related. I had to with this company.
By far, Phillip from Pest Detective was the most impressive tradesperson I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Kind, knowledgeable, keen to share his knowledge and highly engaged. As a hiring manager in the tech field I would be remiss to not acknowledge that Phillip would be an asset in any industry. That being said, the passion and understating that he exhibited during his initial visit / consult is a testament to not only his career but also his innate ability to communicate. That is a very rare commodity these days.
Well done Pest Detective. I understand why you are so highly reviewed.
If I have any more problems with pests, Pest’s Detective will be my first call.
I live in Vancouver but am taking care of my Brother’s estate in Chilliwack. After the flooding caused roof damage and the wind blew down the fence, the renter informed me on Christmas Eve day that the restorators had found a huge Wasps nest in the attic. Pest detective was there on Boxing day and removed the nest. I was amazed that over the holidays that they were available and moved that quick to remove the nest without a problem.
First class operation.
The technician Jonah was professional and courteous from the first inspection and throughout the entire application of the product process. If he is an example of all of your representatives then this is a first class operation and I will not hesitate to refer your business to family and friends. THANK YOU for a job very well done.
We called Pest Detective and were impressed from start to finish.
They provided same-day pest control service and performed a thorough inspection of our property. The technician was highly knowledgeable, professional, and detail-oriented, and clearly explained what the treatment plan would be and what to expect afterward.
After just two visit, we were already feeling pest-free and relieved. Their customer service was excellent, very responsive, and easy to work with.
If you are looking for reliable, honest, and professional pest control, we would strongly recommend Pest Detective. Excellent experience and great results!
Rates are fair, I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Very efficient and friendly to deal with. They take calls on the weekend and also know what they are doing. I’ve used this company for several bug/rodent issues and they’ve figured out what to do in a very professional manner each and every time. Also, their rates are fair and I would not hesitate to recommend them again, not to mention use them!
We had one of their techs, Stuart, out this week for some rodent problems. Stuart was amazing, very informative and walked me through every step. Love the professionalism and the experience behind the advice and recommendations he made. A real pleasure to work with.
Heroes!
These folks have been amazing; they show up fast, they answer all of your questions, they calm you down, then they do a bang up job.
We’ve been working with John this winter/fall, and he’s been amazing. One of my neighbours was a bit distressed to see pest control in the neighbourhood, and John calmly and patiently explained why there was no need for them to stress.
This company has been such a comfort to me, and plenty of other people in the city.
I appreciate Brandon’s attention to service. They are consistent, provide me with detailed reports and also reminders of their coming visit to the property. They are professional and helpful. Highly recommend them.
