Pete Paniagua Termite Control

STAY AWAY from this company. This is the company that the seller used to fumigate our home that we purchased in November 2011. This November we begun a refinance on our home and of course needed a pest inspection for the process. I looked around and noticed a posted sign that listed Pete Paniagua termite control as the last person to fumigate the home in July of 2011. I figured I would call him up and schedule an appointment since he already had a history with the home. When he came and performed his inspection, he noted that there was several areas of termite damage and said I believe that you have termites. I told him I needed to resolve this quickly as we would be closing soon. He informed me that i could just put some putty over the damage and do some minor repairs myself. When I asked him for an inspection report he told me that he left his clip board at the last customers house and that he would have to come back tomorrow to give it to me. The next day by mid afternoon i had not heard from Pete and called and left a voice message stating how important this was to get done soon. I never received any calls from Pete from that point on. I had no other choice but to contact another pest control company. I had the company come out and perform a very thorough inspection on our home and explained that we were closing by weeks end. Before he even left my home, i was confronted with the grim news that my home has many areas of termites and active termites. I informed the owner that the home was tented in 2011 and showed him the posting from that fumigation. His first words «oh Pete», he told me that with the amount of colonies that he had found, there was no way that this property was fumigated or properly fumigated three years ago. So now i am out several thousand, thanks a lot Pete, i now know why you are running from my phone calls.

No hard sell, kept it real, cool dude runnin the show.
I no longer have ants in ma pants!

Left trash in my yard after tenting the house, unnecessarily tented a deck and trellis attached to the house which killed 4 vines on the trellis, tore up the mulch in my yard and didn’t fix it after the work was complete, and tore a vent cap off the roof and left it in my driveway. In the name of termites, I was basically paying them to trash my house.

I’m a long-​time Realtor and have been using Pete’s company for 15 years. They’re the best I’ve ever used. Termite companies are known for poor service, but Pete’s is very good.

I have been using Pete Paniagua’s service every month for my office for over a year now. My technician Mike is the greatest!!! He is always very efficient and on time. Since I have been using their service, my office staff have been very happy. And their prices with me are very competitive and fair. I would reccommend them to anyone.

I went through 3 fumigation companies and Pete Paniagua’s bid was the most competitive in price. Too bad, that’s the only pleasant thing about their service.
Once I came back to my property post fumigation, all my plants were trampled and broken. The damages were obviously not from the chemical itself but from their workers who shown little regard on the client’s property.
They told me that they would notify me on the 2^nd day once they took off the fumigation tent. They didn’t bother to call. I came back on the 2^nd day, thinking it is ok to enter and found a notice of non-​entry. I had to call the service line to double check if it is safe to enter, no one pick up. After 3 calls, several messages later (I was really pissed on the last msg), they called back, undone the lock and just simply left. No apology, no explanation.
I had a growing suspicion on whether the fumigation service they provided is working at all because I didn’t see any dead bugs/​spider carcasses inside the house (unlike the previous fumigation).
You got what you paid for. :(

Absolutely fabulous service! Completed evreything in a professional and timely matter. I would use them again in a heartbeat!

Had Paniagua spray for ants 3 times. First time was several years ago and the cost was 65. Second time was two years ago and it was 120. It was 120 today as well. I think 120 is high because I only have them spray outside and they are here for an hour max.
The receptionist isn’t great but I didn’t weigh her down with any questions. I can see the previous reviewer’s point about the phone contact but I wouldn’t rate it that low.
I would like to know if people think that 120 is a fair price to spray bug spray. I was an overpaid civil servant for 23 years and my top pay was 25 an hour when I left. Big woop compared to 120 for 30 minutes work. right?

Completely obnoxious receptionist. Didn’t answer our questions, belittled our concerns, and lied about the information included on the report we were given about a termite inspection. This is the kind of company that invites lawsuits.
