Our Active Review

Overall Quality

Our Rating:

Overall, customers can be happy with their decision to hire Active Pest Control for infestation issues. Their prices are affordable and paired with consumer protection measures such as a 100% guarantee and free inspections.

Customers can also have their wildlife control issues taken care of from the same company. They offer humane methods of extracting wildlife and follow up with clean-up, entry sealing, and galvanized metal exclusion material so that critters don’t come back.

Last but not least, Active uses a Senticron bait system for termite control and elimination. We find this is the most effective technique when it comes to eliminating termite colonies. Plus, it’s eco-friendly and has a minimal impact on the homeowner’s yards.

Termite Control

Along with their general pest control solutions, Active provides termite control through the Senticron Termite Colony Elimination System. This system uses the latest bait station technology that slowly destroys an entire underground colony of termites. Placed underground around the exterior of your home, these stations have a minimal impact on your yard and don’t require the technicians to enter your home. They’re also actively monitored to ensure they’re working correctly.

Mosquito Control

Mosquitoes can be especially brutal during certain times of the year, and Active provides an affordable package that focuses on eliminating this particular pest. Their professionals utilize a mosquito abatement program that tracks mosquito breeding grounds and treats them at all life stages.

Bed Bug and Flea Control

Active offers bed bug and flea control through their VIP package. These pests are known to be hard to eliminate, primarily because bed bugs are known to survive to up to one year without needing to eat.

Professionally trained technicians know exactly where bed bugs and fleas commonly hide. After their initial assessment, they’ll create a treatment program. Monthly maintenance also ensures that they don’t come back.

Additional Services

In addition to pest control, Active Pest Control also offers wildlife control. They can humanely remove several animals that could spread disease in your home, which includes but isn’t limited to:

  • Skunks
  • Squirrels
  • Opossums
  • Snakes
  • Rodents
  • Raccoons
  • Birds
  • Rabbits
  • Moles
  • Rats

They also include 11 proven steps on their website that shows exactly how they’ll help you deal with your wildlife problems. These steps start with a detailed inspection of your home and a comprehensive quote.

After removing wildlife, Active Pest Control will repair any damage the animals caused, seal entry points, and add galvanized metal exclusion material to ensure they can’t return.

If any wildlife is still able to get in after Active secured the area, technicians will return to remove the animals and block the location.

A Word About Reviews

It can be difficult to judge pest control companies using online reviews: negative reviews tend to outnumber positive reviews for all companies. But looking at negative and positive reviews can give consumers some idea of the trends in a company’s performance.

Active Pest Control has positive reviews across multiple websites. We were impressed by the number of reviewers who were happy with the interactions they had with employees. They were incredibly pleased with the level of service from the pest control technicians and often mentioned them by name in their reviews.

Punctuality & Professionalism

We find that many service-based industries with multiple branches have issues with scheduling and following-up with customers; however, this doesn’t seem to be an issue with Active Pest Control. Many customers are happy with the speedy replies and the efficient work of the technicians.

The Sales Manager, Paul, came out and discussed squirrel issues in my attic with me. He is extremely knowledgeable and has been in the business for many years. He did not try and oversell any unnecessary things that were not required. Within days, they were able to secure my home, remove the squirrels, and prevent any future infestation. The technician performing the job, Alex, was also very, very knowledgeable and went above and beyond what I expected Active to do to see that my house appeared as no work had been done to seal up my house. I highly recommend Active Pest Control.

Persistence

Customers also seem pleased by the effort the technicians put in. They completely eradicate their pest control issues, and customers are protected with a 100% guarantee if they find there are still pest issues after the technician leaves.

I am pleased with my service. If I’m bothered with any kind of insect that finds its way into my home, I call the office, report my situation and forget it. The problem will go away once the serviceman takes care of the matter. I am always notified when the technician will be arriving to service my home.

Effectiveness

Active Pest Control has efficient and effective services with glowing reviews from customers. The company provides solutions that target pests both inside and outside. It’s also important to note that many customers found the price affordable for the level of service received.

We are totally satisfied with this service. Extremely reasonable pricing for interior and exterior pest control, full termite protection plus bond AND mosquito protection. Probably shouldn’t publish our price here, let’s just say versus the ‘other guys’ it is a terrific bargain!
