Excellent company. Very professional, knowledgeable, and reputable. I had them do an inspection after Macys department store delivery guys insisted I had bedbugs because they found some yellow larvae on my old mattresses. No blood was found, which is what bedbugs leave behind. Found out it was from carpet beetles. Everyone has them in their homes. You just vacuum them up.

Thank you for your kind comments Brenda! Glad that we could help put your mind at ease. Sleep well my friend.
Jun 21, 2024Previous reviewWhen Macys delivery guys found a few yellow bugs on my old mattresses they refused to haul away and insisted I had bedbugs. I've never had bedbugs before so I immediately call this company to find out what to do. First thing they said was "let's make sure they are bedbugs!" I assumed since Macys delivery guys see this everyday they knew what they were talking about. Wrong! This company came out within 30 seconds of seeing my bed knew what they are; bedbugs and carpet beetles look alike. Difference is bedbugs aways leave blood stains behind on your mattress's because they are little vampires feeding off living people while you sleep. Carpet beetle don't because they don't feed on you like bedbugs. They feed on dead skin on the floor. Big difference. Carpet beetles you just vacuum up and everyone has them in their homes. Bedbugs are much harder to get rid of and you most likely will need a professional company to exterminate. So glad this company did an inspection. And Macys was able to come back and take my old bed!
Bottom line, don't listen to anyone but the experts.
Only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is they were supposed to email me a report but never did.
Update: My mistake. A report was received. Definitely 5 stars for this company. They really care about their reviews and services, and resent my report. Thank you. - Gina P.Oakland, CA9451Mar 14, 2024
Excellent customer service! Tech Alex did a great job and called me several times after the inspection to check on me. Highly recommend!

Absolutely no one wants to deal with pests, but in the unfortunate case that it has, I highly recommend Ada and Fermin ("Ferminator") at Certech! Ada is on top of her game replying to emails and coordinating with their techs who are on site. I learned more than I want about pests and treatments from them but feel like a much more empowered consumer in this area thanks to both of them. Really, really glad to have found Certech and that they were able to take care of the situation!

We moved into a new home recently and one night, whilst I was doing some work at around midnight in the basement, I heard a rustling noise. I looked over and let out a silent scream as I noticed a rat run past me.
I very quickly went through the various stages of grief, first doubting that i had even seen it, before getting angry that our home already had a rat problem. After feeling sad about it, I accepted it and hit up Yelp to look for a good rodent exclusion provider.
We got a few different quotes from different providers who educated us on the different ways to exclude rats. One vendor was extremely terse and turned up 6 hours early for a Sunday afternoon appointment - walked in, told us we had a rat problem, and then walked out. They later texted us with a one line quote...
Working with Sean from Certech was almost the entirely opposite experience. He turned up, listened to our concerns, gave us some thoughtful advice and walked us through how he would exclude the various problematic areas in our basement.
He suggested using bait boxes around our property to reduce the probability of rats getting in (although I've later read that these can harm owl wildlife since they consumed the poisoned rats - so something to be aware of), and proposed using concrete to permanently seal up any small holes where they might be coming in. He also pointed out several small gaps that we hadn't originally considered as being a problem and mentioned he would apply wire mesh to them.
We went ahead and scheduled with Certech (on my birthday, funnily enough) on the basis of their professional approach and competitive pricing.
Two weeks later, the traps that have been set are still "empty" and we haven't seen any evidence of rodent activity: no excrement and no paw prints in our subarea!
We're happy customers and now I can go back to tinkering in our basement late at night in peace.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 1Business owner information

I scheduled Certech to deal with a serious ant problem (much bigger than your typical ant situation after heavy rains or extreme heat).
Their Technician Gareth was communicative, professional, and punctual.
Like I said, this was a bigger problem than normal, and Certech stood by their guarantee. Gareth came back a couple times to get rid of the ants, trying something a little stronger each time, and solved the problem.
Thank you, guys, I won't hesitate to call you again.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

While we ended up taking care of the problem ourselves, Justin was super helpful and responsive. We may be calling him in the future if our remedy does not hold. Justin was the fastest response and took time to call us himself.
