“Marcos has been absolutely fantastic to work with. The treatment was also effective - it has been exactly two weeks since the ant treatment and I have not had a problem ever since. Marcos also followed up the next week on how the treatment went and I truly appreciate his effort in helping me live ant-free! Update after another week - I wanna give another shout out to Richard who followed up on my treatment and was able to quickly jump in for a reinforcement during the recent heat wave! A very happy customer here.”

“Carlos arrived on-time, listened carefully to my explanation of what the problems was, and was very thorough in explaining what he would do to resolve the issue. He was clear, courteous and extremely professional. We are very pleased with his work.”

“very professional and the product that they used had done an excellent job keeping the critters away. I love that the product they use is safe for humans and pets! My service professional Diurjon did a great job today!”

“Home shield Pest control has definitely exceeded my expections. They were very informative and thorough. Jose did an excellent job of explaining everything to my mom and after our first service we are very pleased. We were dealing with an excessive amount of cock roaches and this service was definitely overdue. I was positive it was going to take months to get rid of these invincible creatures. After just the first visit I am pleased to say they are practically nonexistent. I am soo glad I went with this company and I highly recommend them. They are dependable, thorough, and take pride in the job that they do. I have a monthly service with them and the cost was slightly higher than the other companies I was looking at but you get what you pay for and they are worth every penny! 🧨🪳=🥳 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars all the way around”

“We signed up with this company in 2024, and at first the service was great. We paid $49/month for quarterly pest control and spider web removal around our home. The technicians were always friendly and professional, although it was almost always a different person each visit. Over time, the quality became very inconsistent. The last few services were hit or miss, and during our most recent scheduled visit it was obvious that no one actually completed the service. I called, and they apologized and scheduled someone to come out the next day to make it right—but once again, no one showed up. For the price, it's simply not worth it when other companies offer more comprehensive treatments and have stronger reputations for the same cost. Because we never had the same technician, the field notes and service reports varied significantly from visit to visit, making it seem like there wasn't a consistent standard for how the work should be performed. I also take the high ratings with a grain of salt. The company asks customers to leave a review after every service, which can inflate their overall rating. I'd recommend doing your research and comparing other pest control companies before s”

“Our technician Julio was incredible. Home Shield was literally able to respond to our call, book us, arrive, and complete service before our previous provider even returned my call. Finding five star service these days is rare. If you value customer service and professionalism at a fair price- look no further.”

“This company is great! They provide much needed services, particularly flea control. We have been using them since last month. The excessive heat has brought fleas to our home. Homeshield has been diligently spraying our back yard. Unfortunately, it's not an overnight flea funeral. Fleas are difficult to get rid of. Homeshield gives their customers free unlimited treatments in between their schedled sprays if need be. Customers need to do their part also by vacuuming carpet and rugs, washing their bedding if the pets sleep on mom and dad's bed, washing all pet blankets and vacuuming their couch and chair cushions. And also bathe or shave your pets. It takes a village to get rid of fleas! FYI, there is no effective store bought outdoor flea treatment nor is there effective store bought flea treatment for pets. You need Homeshield pest control cuz this is a really bad flea season right now. They are the gangs of the bug world. Thank you, Homeshield!”

“Amir was superb — knowledgeable, effective, efficient. All of our HomeShield technicians have been excellent. Would absolutely recommend!”

“He explained the process really well and listened to my concerns and addressed them fully and with understanding. My concern centers around my deaf dog and making sure my dog is safe. He did a thorough job and explained what to expect in the coming weeks. I hope he can continue to be the tech that continues the job here.”

“The technician was quick and thorough. He did a great job and left no mess. I’m very pleased with the service!”

“Sergio was a true professional. Kept me informed via text before his arrival. He patiently listened while I showed him the problem areas. Sergio then treated all areas thoroughly. Couldn't have asked for a nicer technician!”

“They didn't come on time and also the last time technician refused to do the interior treatment and we are seeing a lots of bugs and some rodents. UPDATE in response to the owner's reply below. I appreciate being contacted, but I want to add the full context so this response makes sense. I was actively sold this service last year with a specific promise: monthly visits through summer, then a visit every three months in fall and winter. The first year that was honored. The second year the visits stopped, and when the new technician finally came out, he refused to do the interior treatment and didn't a complete outside treatment. That is when the rodent problem started, something we never dealt with before. I was then quoted roughly $900 plus $75/month to address a problem that developed.”

“Aaron was very professional. We got a 20 minute heads up as promised. He was nice and knowledgeable.”

“The bug situation was getting out of control so we signed up, now any time we spot a spider web in the yard Homeshield gets someone out within days! Fast service, always friendly, not to mention our technician, Jose C! He is always upbeat and professional. He explains everything completely and is so personable. The best technician hands down!”

“Excellent service by Mitch on July 6, very happy with him and Dave Watson. Mitch was on time and professional spent about 3.5 hours with us and dave spent at least an hour doing the pre-inspection and drawing a map of all the places that there was an opening. Mitch took before and after pictures and was polite, courteous and clean.”

“I called Home Shield Pest control & they were out the next day! Marcos was fantastic! He helped us with both an ant problem and rodent issue. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything he’s doing. The ants and rodents were gone overnight!! Thank you 😊”

“I spoke with Eduardo on his way to my house. I explained that I wanted a spray for spiders and he told me that they use a chemical that is good for all-around. He went on to explain how they would de-cobweb the exterior of the house, but as you can see from the photos, it doesn't appear that that occurred at all.”

“Araz is an exceptional technician. He communicates with me and arrives when he says he will. He is honest, reliable, and trustworthy.”

“On 8/28/26 Sean Hull serviced our home, inside and outside, for insects and rodents. He was very cordial and did an excellent, professional job. We were quite pleased.”

“The gentleman that came was very professional nice has a great personality really made me feel at ease. He answered all of my questions and was very patient. I say give him a raise!”
