Reviews of Corky's Pest Control (Pest Control)

Steven Smelser

Horrible Customer Service! I scheduled Corky's weeks ago for a termite fumigation. The lady scheduling the service agreed to schedule the work starting Saturday, October 6th with the fumigation tents being removed Monday, October 8th. I received a text message on the 4th stating that the service would instead start on Friday, the 5th which was not what I agreed to on the phone and which I could not accommodate. The supervisor was mechanical in voice with zero empathy or concern. She refused to accommodate my needs and said she had to follow procedure and protocol......No flexing or exceptions. I will no longer utilize this company for termite or pest services. I utilized Corky's on two other prior buildings. I asked the supervisor if they valued customer service. I told the supervisor that they had in effect lost any future business with me. She really did not care. Zero empathy. She hung up on me. I plan on using another termite control company to treat two additional buildings of mine needing treatment in the coming months.

We had an ant infestation and a respected friend recommended Corkys. We called and had a very nice lady (Allisa) answer the phone and explain their services and what would work for our house. They got a fantastic technician out the next morning (Jerry Rodriguez) who took his time explaining what type of ants we had and how to get rid of them. He walked the entire border of my house and explained what was encouraging them around my house and then he went to work. We have a small house but he took his time and was incredibly thorough. He even came insidethe house and put some powder in the walls to force them out. We saw results immediately. It has been a week now and I can't find any ants. He even told me that we had an extreme number and that he expected to have come out again this week but so far so good! Good customer service is hard to find these days and I felt that from the first moment I called Corkys they went above and beyond with customer service. I am a female (I think this will post under my husband's name) and I did not feel uncomfortable with the technician here. I have had other companies come out when my husband isn't here and ask for extra $ under the table which made me incredibly uncomfortable. This was not the case at all! Jerry was professional, sweet and even treated a few of my inside walls without an extra charge. In fact, I think the price is very reasonable. My neighbors used another company and they were charged extra for the first visit. Corkys did not charge extra for this initial visit and I know all our ants provided a lot of extra work for Jerry. I have already recommended Corkys to other friends. I am very pleased!

Carlos, the technician who came to my home did an excellent job. He was friendly, knowledgable and kept the surrounding area clean during and after treatment.

I debated writing this review for awhile because I dislike bashing companies. However, I feel majorly burned from this company and wish that nobody has to go through the time and energy it took to work with Corky's Pest Control. I purchased a home earlier this year, they inspected it to have a ton of termite damage. They poorly communicated, took MONTHS to finish, and never called back. They worked with a 3rd party to replace a lot of wood around the house. This company did an incredibly poor job. Each time they would come out I would find that they only did half of the job, and since there was a language barrier we were unable to explain. It took 4 separate visits to do something that should have been accomplished in a day. Not to mention these visits went on for 6+ months. This is because I would call, get confirmation and then they would go radio silent for a few weeks until I would call back again and again. My latest issue that pushed me to write this. They installed a door in my garage leading to the outside that was promised to be fire safe (it's not) and when it rained, it was made out of such poor material that I can't even close my door because it absorbed rain and became malformed. Truly couldn't have asked for a worse company to work with. I hope this review helps someone make their decision to NOT use them to correct termite damage. I can't speak for their pest control for I would never choose to work with them again after the communication issues.

Aaron Lines

Responsive and professionally attentive. A little slow on the home office Response but great otherwise.

Alan Dingwall

Trusty services available, and on call.

Csaba Sylvania

Im surprised that this business still operates . False promises, they charged uss over and over again and "rescheduled" BECAUSE they didnt show up on agreed time . STAY AWAY from their programs . The product their using does the job but 0 profesionalisme .

Sarah Rice Fox

35 years of satisfaction!

Mark Ramsey

We had Terminix. We had ants. Then we got Corkys. No ants. Wherever we go we'll take Corkys with us

Russell McQueen

Hector Cader performed termite eradication to the nth degree. He was very meticulous and careful to detect termites and stop further infestation. I will gladly refer Corky's Pest Control for termite control.

**I would like to say, Corky's is and has been 'awesome' as to when it comes to my technician, also the staff.....with the exception of 'Victoria' a few days ago (being extremely short with me and acting as if, it didn't matter how I felt about it, because I addressed the fact; that she was being short with me. HOWEVER, Gilberto Ballesteros CP73, is such a blessing. He is extremely patient, welcoming, has so much knowledge and doesn't mind taking the time to explain anything you may ask him/no matter how many times you may need him to explain it to you. He doesn't rush you at all. He comes to spray the outside of my house for spiders. Also, if you say that you may have seen a spider or two inside the home, while he is out there spraying (even if you catch him as he is leaving); he will actually give you the option to allow him to come in and spray. I can tell when he isn't the one who did the spray that month (out sick/vacation). I say this because, I don't generally get to see him when he comes and sprays, however, I can tell by the amount of spiders I start to see. However, it only has happen once. With him I don't generally see any. I so appreciate having him as my technician, and because of his service and the staff in the office (again, minus my exception). I have been going around giving the telephone number to my clients for their homes. I also tell random people I meet in other places. Corky's service truly makes you feel comfortable 'overall' and you also have the reassurance that 'if' you feel that their is a problem; they will return immediately (and have) without any extra charges. Also for the service, effort, great technicians, patience, concern and availability the monthly fee; it feels like it's free and/or just a tip, lol. Great price. Thank you so much Corky's & Gilberto Ballesteros, because I was terrified before your excellent service begin. Also, Gilberto is kind and very personable. He relates and makes you feel as if he is someone you have known, and can trust to take care of your pest needs. YES, I AM TRULY IMPRESSED.

Always answers any questions I might have and out of all the techs I've had he does the best job and always with a positive attitude. Love Corky's

the place

Excellent service and they are always trying improve their offerings. They now offering complimentary refreshments.

John Tarrant

Had your employee Dennis out to our house Monday. It’s been a long time since I have met a more professional person than him. It appears that he performed a very thorough investigation of our property and articulated himself well. He knows his business. Keep up the great work Dennis!

Marcus Stylez

Awesome place the staff was great !!!!!

Manuel de Leon

BE WARNED! The company will performed an un-authorized service to your property and they will argue that you have agreed verbaly to their services. I contacted them on Sept 2010 and they performed minor check in my property. I complained about how disatisfied i was with their service and told them that i no longer need their service. 3 years later, April 2013, they performed an un-authorized service to my property for $99 and charged me for the service i did not agree. I called customer service and they said i had a verbal agreement with them. THREE YEARS they didn't perform any service to my property and all of a sudden i get this UN-AUTHORIZED service. DO NOT CALL THIS BUSINESS OR YOU WILL PAY FOR IT

John Brousseau

Great Service! Always a friendly smile!

I spoke with Elizabeth about a complaint with Alfred a service technician that came to my house and that did not fully in the customer service department and her tone was pleasant but she was more concerned for herself then listening to my concerns.

Stephen Essman

Giving 2 stars since the receptionists were consistently nice. Hired Corky's to take care of our spider problem. Technicians came to the house and literally drenched the yard & exterior of the house in poison and left a white residue EVERYWHERE. I watched a technician lift up patio cushions, spray under them, and just drop the cloth cushion right back on top of the poison to soak it all up. Trash cans, base of the garage door, patio furniture, patio itself, base of front door, everywhere covered in white poison residue. I had to get on my hands and knees and clean up the residue as best as possible. I tried calling the office twice to voice my concern over the residue because I have a 1 year old that crawls around the yard constantly. One time I spoke to a receptionist that said a manager would call me back. The next time I left a voicemail. No call back to either one of my calls. I finally cancelled my credit card so they'd stop charging. Not even a phone call after that. Avoid Corky's.

Misty Phillips-Petersen

We have had a number of pest problems (mice, spiders, ants, etc) and since Giovanny has been servicing our home we thankfully have it all under control and have bid farewell to these unwanted guests. We appreciate that he knows our property, knows exactly what needs to be done each time and and most importantly delivers results. Giovanni is thorough, professional and always has a smile on his face. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Giovanny and Corkys!

Crystal

DO NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR MONEY. We got “exterminated” for termites over a year ago and got the four year “warranty.” They said they would bring a radar tool to detect for termites and should all be exterminated within ten days. But when they finally showed up to do the job (it took three weeks), they didn’t bring the radar tool (and never did) and didn’t complete the job. Now, one year later, we still have just as many termites, and they’ve been out here about 10 times to re-exterminate per our warranty (i.e. lazily spot treating and leaving huge holes in the ceiling). This is the worst service I’ve ever received from a company. They are frauds and should be reported.

Gwen w

Unfortunately after 10 years of service its time to say goodbye to corkys. I called the office to have a follow up done. And they were unwilling to send someone out in a timely manner. Their office staff is the problem they dont return calls. And they could care less once you have paid them.. like all other reviews have stated.

Susan Fancher

Great service & terrific employees--especially Derek! Fantastic cartoons by talented artists; look forward to each publication! Thanks to all of you & have a blessed Veteran's Day & Thanksgiving!

Esperanza Bautista

I just had my house sprayed by corkys Gabriel cp35 did a fantastic job. I used to be with another company and all i can say is that I was pleased to see how good of a job this very kinda young man did for my home.

Mishell Hahn

Corky's has been a part of my family for 15 plus years now. I have always appreciated CP29 Chris, for his honesty and knowledge. He is professional and hard working. I recommend Corkys to all my friends and family!

Andrew Harrill

We had Corky's Pest come out and do a Termite inspection. They were very informative and gave great explanations.

Monica Johnson

Keeping me pest free this summer!

Al Flores

Fun place to visit and plenty to enjoy.

John Bresnik

Many years ago we hired Corky's to deal with our major ant problem (residential). That was probably fifteen years ago and I haven't seen an ant since.

Kamron Khannakhjavani

Stellar food and service.

Arlene Tan

June 2014, my grandfather realizes there is a terrible termite infestation and he looks to his handy phone book and gives this place a call (told him he should have used yelp!) He setup a time and a date to have the house fumigated, they instruct him to call SDG&E to schedule a gas "turn-on" date and that they would take care of the gas "turn-off" shortly before they fumigate. The gas never gets turned off and then my grandfather, with all the food and other cosmetic stuff packed and ready to go is told that they cannot fumigate. Further over the "manager" accuses my grandfather of scheduling a turn-off instead of a turn-on. I tried to call them on it but the manager stuck to his story that it was my grandfathers fault. On the day that the gas was supposed to be turned on, SDG&E comes out and tells my grandfather he was there to turn on the gas, confirming that my grandfather didn't do anything wrong. My grandfather is enraged at this point, because this #@$%-off manager is blaming him. Corky's fails to turn off the gas a few more times while my family suffers without food, all things packed, and ready and waiting to go. My grandfather furious kept trying to work something out or get a discount for all this hullabaloo. They offer him a measly $100 off and still continue to blame my grandfather. The customer is always right, even when they are wrong... Apparently not at Corky's. Come here if you want to waste time and money and be blamed for their own incompetence. I'm surprised they are still in business. ANYWAY, obviously we are not the first ones to go through this after reading other reviews below! Be warned!

Gabriel Bautista

Great company!

Melissa Riley

Corky's helped tackle a uniquely challenging rodent problem. They took on the challenge and went above and beyond to get the job done. When problems came they found a solution. The house is now rodent free and sanitized.

Jim Bible

Termite Fumigation Disaster using Corky’s Pest Control. Our neighbor and I employed Corky’s Pest Control to fumigate our attached homes. We were left with over 220 broken roof tiles and a repair cost that exceeded $4,000. That was more than the cost of the fumigation. Our HOA property manager expressed that this was an exceedingly high number of broken tiles for our community. As you can guess, I cannot recommend using Corky’s Pest Control.

I'd stay away from this company. When I called to schedule a treatment the lady asked how I heard about Corky's. I said I got a mailer in the mail and she said, "Ok, we can give you $50 off your service". I thought that was a good deal. What she didn't tell me was she was signing me up for an annual plan for them to come every month. 1 month after my treatment which eliminated the problem I got a text saying that a technician would be at my house the next day to treat my home. I called to ask why I was still being charged and she said I signed up for an annual membership which I definitely did not. She said well we can cancel you but you'll have to pay back the $50 we saved you with your annual membership. I said fine, whatever makes this stop. Low and behold the technician showed up at my house anyway the next day. Luckily my wife caught him and said we cancel to which he replied, "good thing you stopped me because they would have charged you." The next month, thinking everything was taken care of I get another charge on my bank account for $50. I had to call again and tell them to cancel and refund my money. Still waiting for next month to see if I'm going to get charged again. Have 2 stars because the one treatment got rid of the ants but that's the only good thing. STAY AWAY!

Peggy Stackle

They do a great job of keeping the critters in their environment and out of mine.

Tammy Brown Pedroza

Excellent customer service. Their customers come first.

Logan Lidster

Ended up cancelling. I tried to book pest control. The person on the phone was confused but we finally got pricing and set a date. I paid with my amex. 10 min later got a call back because they couldn't remember the date and lost my credit card... Went with another company.

Natasha Smith

Super happy with the service we’ve received over the past two years. Corky’s is always on time and the pricing is great.

Suzy Barno

Wow. Wow. Wow. Whoever is working in accounting right now has to be the WORST customer service rep in the country. Unprofessional, interrupts you, speaks down and rudely to you, has an attitude from hell, and hung up on me! We paid these guys for years. People who came out were nice. We had to cancel our service and we were promised a partial credit but never received it and it’s been weeks. Called today and again, whoever answered in the accounting dept was the worst representation of any company. Get rid of her because she’s hurting your business name. Never again will we use Corkys. If a manager is available please contact us immediately. Thank you.

Jus C

Watch out for these crooks. They will rip you off! My tenant signed up with them and I went on the website to pay for the two times they came in the summer. I called them 3 months ago and left a message to cancel. But my account wasn't cancelled and they came out for service in December. I told them I would pay for the December service but they tried to charge me for Jan even though nothing was done. Elizabeth said that half of Jan needs to be paid even though I sent them an email to cancel on 121817. How shady is that! They didn't even come out to do service in Jan and they are trying to charge me for it. Looks at the pictures of our conversation. These people are crooks. Too bad Yelp wasn't around 50 years ago to let people know how shady this business is. STAY AWAY. Add to list Edit

Dawn Frasier

The final straw was when Corky's worker left an open bait station (see picture below) with LETHAL POISON right beside my PETS AREA. If you would like to avoid my experience with Corky's of... * A history of overcharges continually sucking my time to correct * Unchecked bait stations and overbilling for incompetent service * A culture of rudeness and argumentativeness * Inability to take responsibility for their errors * A constant "customer is always wrong" pattern of unreturned calls and behavior. Then save yourself the agony and potential loss of your pets' lives from this absolute train wreck of a company. I sincerely hope that you read this and avoid them. Your pets' very lives may depend on it!

j mohr

sorry to say, we are incredibly frustrated with Corky's termite treatment. After paying more than $ 2500, the company had to send people out three times to treat reoccuring termite damage. Every time it was incredibly hard to get the scheduler to call back, to get service in a timely matter, to get someone who really took care of our problem. Meanwhile some wood tiles on your siding shows considerable damage, that could have been avoided if the jobs was done properly in the first place.

John Hearn

We had a mouse problem in our garage and house so we called Corky's and they came out the next day and the Tech was on time and presentable. The problem is now gone and we appreciate the service and price.

Kristen Mulvany

AWFUL. Bad customer service. Rude. Not helpful. Watch out for getting locked into a 6 month contract with recurring costs and services that you are unaware of!!!

Sue Fordyce

My Corky's man, Daniel Flores, is the best. He's unfailingly polite, neat, and courteous. He even gives me advice on my plants! Thanks, Dan, for representing Corky's so well. Sue Fordyce

Sibille Kaltenbach

Just want to say that Daniel Ramos has been our service technician for a very long time. Daniel is very reliable, prompt and does a thorough job with a smile on his face. He has answered our questions and done a terrific job because we don't have any bugs anymore. Thank you Corky's for hiring professional and honest technicians such as Daniel. Keep up the good work and we will be your customer for ever. Sibille Kaltenbach

Kenneth Steele

Trouble with Corkys Pest Control, 1. authorized and gave CC info for $175 to cover 1st 3 visits and begin monthly service... they charged me $244(?) 2. when I called they "quite by accident" mentioned they would check my recorded call and get back to me - that was the first I heard of that and immediately requested a digital copy for myself stating I was now unsure of the quoted monthly service either being $59 or $69 a month and since they overcharged me the initial payment, I now wanted to confirm the monthly. --- they agreed. 3. Next interaction was a voicemail stating that they listened to the recording and I was correct and they had refunded me the $69 difference. I immediately called them back and again requested the digital file for myself for the same reason stated above... wanting to now confirm what I was quoted from the initial sales call.... Elizabeth (their customer service rep) with a raised voice asked WHY I needed the file since they already refunded me the money -I started to explain again and before I was finished she flat out told me she was NOT going to send me the file... I told her something to the affect of "maybe I should subpoena it from her, she began yelling at me and hung up. 4. That was on Thursday Feb. 28th, Friday Mar. 1st I received a voicemail stating they had cancelled my service due to non-payment, yet they already had my CC on file for the service I signed up for ???? and had already previously charged my card without issue. I have saved this VM from Elizabeth. The following day Sat. Mar. 2nd I called and spoke to Veronica(? - have it written down somewhere) and explained I wanted a full refund and very specifically why, she agreed and completely threw Elizabeth "under the bus" on how she handles customer service, yells at customers and does what she wants without regard to policy. 5. Checking my bank statement I did NOT receive a full refund but instead they charged me $69 and refunded the difference - I am assuming this is for the initial visit / service. If this is true A. the deal was for 3 pest control visits in a 1 month period, I had 1 of those B. I had one visit and they picked up their traps and charged me without giving the results of the period the traps were set C. Is this not a violation of Privacy? Breach of Contract? Discrimination?

Greg Moore

I really loved the environment I love Pest control.

Blue Suitcase Travel

It started with a mailer I received that stated to call for a easy estimate for termite tenting. So I called. I talked with a lady that informed me that the easy estimate would have to be done by sending out a tech to do an inspection. I was kinda like this isn't the easy estimate you stated in your mailer, but what the heck. The lady said she would give my name and number to her tech and they would call for an appointment day and time. That call didn't come.....flash forward 4 weeks or so. I get a call from an account rep who states he's extremely sorry that my number and information slipped through the cracks and that he was on the ball now and would see everything through. I was kinda pist, but figured I'll give them another shot. I scheduled a time for there inspector to come out and bid the job. He came and said that got all the information he needed and that the account rep would be in touch. It's now been like 3 weeks and I've heard nothing. This level of incompetence or lack of professionalism is next level. If you value your time stay clear of these guys. There are plenty of other termite companies that will work for your business.

Trish Mercurio

If I could give Corky's no stars I would! Terrible company. We paid a tech for a service and the tech "allegedly" lost our check which was then stollen by someone and cashed for $800. We reported is a stolen and fraudulent to the bank. When I called Corky's I was put on hold many times, the customer service rep laughed at me when I got upset, then she told me it wasn't their fault and hung up on me. Beware of Corky's and their sloppy business practices!

Elaine

Technician knew her stuff

Don Von

The customer service I received from Corky's was by far the most pleasant I have experienced with any company, and that definitely sets you apart from the rest. I will keep calling you back to service all of my properties because of how well you take care of your customers. Thank you.

Ninna Atkins

Jeeze where do I start? I hardly ever write reviews and if I do they are because they are good. Unfortunately this is not the case. So last night at 7:02 (darn missed them by 2 minutes) I left a very detailed message that someone call me back first thing in the morning. I have never used Corky’s before but often hear their commercials on XX1090. They open at 7:00 am. I rec. no call so I called at 7:30. I told them I was calling because I have a bad flea infestation. I have never had fleas before. If you had have them you can understand if not, it's a fricken NIGHTMARE! I look like I have a rash on my legs from so many bites that constantly itch! I explained to Virginia that I left a message last night for someone to call me and no one returned my call. She told me they didn’t get my message? I told her something is wrong with your answering service then. So I asked what her availability was today, she told me she didn't know. Her tone in her voice made it sound like it wasn't her job to know what was available for the day if someone asked so I asked her if she could check. (rolling my eyes) She said she would have to reach a tech and call me back. I explained to her how desperately I needed someone to get a hold of me right away. I got the impression that she didn't really care one way or another. A half an hour went by and no call so I called them back and spoke to Annette. I went through the whole thing again and also added I have never used your service before and so far I am kind of disappointed. I explained how I left a message last etc. So then she THINKS she put me on hold but she sets the phone down and (are you ready for this) she TALKS ABOUT ME TO HER CO-WORKERS, I could hear every word. Saying with complete attitude how I (ME) am in a bad mood and that I am irritating her and blah blah blah!!! I was furious! The longer I listened the madder I was getting. I went off on her telling her the next time you want to talk about your customers you should make sure that you have them on hold and not set the phone down as I just head EVERY word you just said about me. I wish I recorded the conversation because I still can’t believe what I was hearing!!!! I then called back and spoke to a supervisor Fran who was very apologetic and helpful and told me if I call back to schedule an appt that she would give me a discount. I am not sure if I am going to call them back. Update: So it's been a week and just as I expected not one person tried to get in touch with me regarding the review that I left or my complaint with the Supervisor. Well Corky's has made it obvious that they don't care how their reps handle their customers or care to follow up on any complaints.They just want you to PAY THEM! I will NOT be calling them to schedule an appointment and I am going to spread the word about my FIRST and LAST experience with Corky's!

Erica Martin

Are they incompetent or just dishonest? I'm not sure, but either way you definitely should not hire them. I found termite droppings in my built-in bookshelves in February. A Corky’s inspector came, conducted an inspection, and recommended that we have our house tented. We followed the recommendation, which cost a couple thousand dollars and 3 days out of our home in April. Less than 5 months later I found the SAME droppings (color, shape, size) in the SAME location. I expected any follow-up to be covered by the 4 year warranty on the tenting service. However, Corky's is now claiming that the droppings are the result of a different type of termite and I need an additional $1,400 worth of service. I have tried to resolve this with them but after explaining my problem to the COO (including photos of the droppings at different points in time), who said she would look into it, I can’t get anyone to call me back. Avoid them if at all possible.

No breakfast still since last year at beginning of pandemic. Smoke alarms went off in the morning of of 7/7/ 21 approx 10:30-11:00 am. Fire dept knocking on every door! Pit bull attacking visitor of a guest a couple doors down hall 7/8 neat 8:00 pm. Ole alarms going off in same room sounded like. O was going to take things to my vehicle however it didn't sound very safe to do so? Front desk rep from day be for when I checked in at 530 wish pm was still on duty at time the alarms were going of mid to pate morning the next day. Sounded extremely stressed out on the phone! Neighbors kept me up past 4:00am w/loud rap music & strong language! Very unpleasantly stay. A gift for my 61st birthday from my step daughter's as my home was being fumigated. Local resident, not impressed with any part other than pleasant conversation w/ front desk rep at check in. Very polite friendly professional demeanor by name of Catie???? only thing thong that kept me from going elsewhere all the prepaid gift part kind of had me w/o an option!

Paolo Butera

These guys know their stuff...one month ago our house has unwanted guests...now it's ours again. Thank you Corky's

Kay Larson

They came out for an unauthorized visit, when we were out of town, and then sent us a bill for the service. I have talked to them several times and, although they have supposedly taken care of the charge..for the service that we did not request.. I am still being billed.

Krissy McGrew

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! My Landlord called a few different companies to come out and remove a dead animal from under our patio deck which would require them to crawl under the house about 6-8 ft to reach the porch (straight shot). He called a few different companies and Corkys was the one company that told him they would crawl under the house and they told me the same thing when I made the appointment. Feeling confident that we would be able to open our windows again after Corky’s came, we were very let down when our technician Gilberto showed up and asked where the animal was, and then said they don’t crawl under houses and left, which took about 1 minute from the time he showed up. He didn’t look into the crawl space or even attempt to help in anyway. Our landlord called me and said that he spoke with the company after the technician left our house and they told him that the technician said the animal was to big for him to get out from under our house so they have to come back on Friday which is 2 days from their initial visit because they didn’t have a technician available sooner. He didn’t even LOOK into the crawl space or anywhere near it and he said it smelled like a “rat”. So they lied to my landlord and to us. My husband called Corkys customer service line and complained about them lying and having a technician come to our house and do absolutely nothing and they told him they could have someone come on Friday but we would not be compensated in anyway for our troubles and they’re failure to even try to help us when the first technician came. The woman at Corkys customer service line then hung up on my husband because he wouldn’t except their poor customer service and needed a solution much sooner. We needed a solution when the first technician showed up! These people lie and are very misleading and do not care about their customers. Go elsewhere!!

chris kettler

We had our house fumigated for termites by Corky's several days ago. As part of the pre-inspection process we were told we could loose our 15+ year old climbing roses. We conveyed to our inspector we understood the risk but needed to proceed. We adamantly requested that the roses not be cut as they are climbers. Much to our utter dismay when we returned to our home after the completion we found that one of our rose bushes had three stalks ( 3-4 plus inches each in diameter each had been cut 2 feet BELOW trellis. All of the branches and foliage were still in place ABOVE the trellis. When we called Corky's and requested to have a supervisor come and survey the damage we were told an inspector could come out in ELEVEN days! At our insistence they sent Hector a poor field guy working in the area to take pictures.To date we have still not received any explanation or return call from Corky's as to why these cuts were made. We chose to use Corky's over a less expensive, smaller organization, thinking we would receive a higher level of service and would be protected by what appeared to be a reputable company, however we are greatly disappointed! Would definitely NOT RECOMMEND Cork's Pest Control. We feel Cork's Pest Control has no idea of the definition customer service or follow thru. Please learn from our extremely unfortunate situation!!!!!!!

Jeff Jenco

Dr. Gary King does a fantastic job! He is conscientious and proactive. We are very lucky to have him working on our property. Gary will try to solve every problem you have in a timely fashion.

Robbie Finster

We are very happy with our service our rep is Arvin York he comes and knocks on the door and asks how we we've been doing and if there are any problems that we have. We live by the lakes in santee so we've seen our fair share of critters, but since Arvin has been spraying none of them have been around:) Thanks Arvin and Corkys!!!

We just used Corky's Pest Control for our first Termite Inspection and they were great. Tim Dempsey deserves a RAVE review for his thorough inspection and informing us about everything he was doing and thus educating us along the way. Highly recommend Corky's and especially Tim Dempsey. Philip

Jennifer Tinsley

Corky's has been very positive and took care of the bee hive we had in our wall. We're very happy.

d smith

Beware. Bad company. Got ripped off. They used to be a good company. I don't know what happened, but the last 2 years they have turned into crooks. My neighbor had the same experience. I would not recommend them.

Michael Whittaker

They came to set up traps OUTSIDE, and did not try and figure out how the pests were getting inside, This kind of service is like having them around forever because they band-aid the problem

M Q

When you can get them to come out they're average... 90% of the time they don't have anyone available when you need them.

Vincent DeMaioribus

I've been a loyal customer for years (decades). Unfortunatly I will be canceling my service and will never return. The reason is I woke up to a massive invasion of ants in my home. I was told (at 7:45 AM) that my home could not be serviced until the next day, taht I should use windex to control the ants. I insisted that they come the same day and they reluctantly scheduled me for a late afternoon visit. Three hours later I had a voice mail saying that "due to an emergency elsewhere" my appointment was pushed out three days. What about MY EMERGENCY! I could go on about their lack of customer service but i'll stop here. Do yourself a favor look for another company for your pest control needs. Corky's was once good but not any longer.

Evelyn Colon

Not a good experience at all. For what they charge $135 dollars what's not what I was expecting.

Merrylin Boardman

Our tech did such a great job. Awesome! I appreciate the information he gave us too. very respectful as well.

Renee C. OBrien

The technicians are nice enough but the business model does not make sense. I have a tree rat coming into the house and I requested traps and the business office told the technician not to traps. I spoke to Elizabeth in the office a she told me they dont trap. So they basically charged me for bait stations and then started sending me a bill for monthly service that I did not request. They advertise for a level of service not given. Do not use this service.

Judy Emig

We have had Corky's Pest Control since 2011. We used to have ants in our house every summer and I haven't seen a one in 7 years. This is a great company.

Ronald Edgerton

Terrible they never called me back to set up an appointment

Carmen Lim

Great service. The tech, Daniel Ramos, explains me what, why and how with the treatments. He is very pleasant and thorough. I appreciate his excellent work ethic. I'd recommend his service to my family and friends. Thank you Daniel.

Linda Glassman Davis

No masks. Technician told me he did not wear always wear a mask but that if I wanted him to wear one he would go get one! No safety concern, no more contract. Not qualified to be considered an essential worker.

Mario Uddeson

The termite crew did a great job. They communicated and always kept me informed of the process of repairs. Very hard working - would highly recommend to friends. Thanks for coming to my house in Encinitas!

Sophia H

My neighbors got tented for termites. The guys that covered the house in the tent did such a BAD job there are broken roof tiles, they killed a 15 foot tree. They also killed my rosemary bush on the other side of the fence. The amount of damage these men caused is horrible. If you are using Corkys for termites BEWARE

wayne batt

Just in the last couple of days we had Corky's treat out home for termites. Marco Varela took care of the termite treatment explaining every step and kept us very informed and the next day Hector Cader replaced the facia boards on our house that were rotted and infested. Paint was matched on the new boards and it looks great. Overall customer service was outstanding, I would highly recommend Corky's.

Ricky Ruiz

Good company to deal with!

Sandra Rodriguez

Great and timely service.

Brett Yoder

Excellent tech! I can't say enough about his upbeat attitude. If I ever need pest control services again I'll be calling them.

Reeda Luis

I have never had such great service from anyone before. Corky's Pest control was so professional and great to have to do this job for me. Thank you!!

Deborah Rubenstein

Nice staff but didn't help my big problem

Steve Ginsberg

Corky's is a disaster.. they went from being super reliable to coming apart at the seams.. even just calling to get ahold of someone, or to get a quote, I've found to be a nightmare. They need help badly

Norma Davis

The albondiga soup is so authentic! Best I've had in any Mexican restaurant!

stephanie cook

Thanks to Carlos Brander for his efficiency on his work, he knows how to deal with us . Corkys has such a great personal on their company, 100% recommended

Tapanga Johnson

We hired corky to fumigate our home for termites. They told us that they take care of the gas to our home during the treatment. They shut off our gas but didn’t reschedule to have it turned back on after the fumigation. We came home to no gas in our home. When I called about it, they tried back tracking on what they told us saying that they don’t deal with the gas being turned back on and it’s not there problem that I didn’t read it in the paperwork. The customer service was very rude, careless and highly unprofessional but all to quick to take our money without completely full filling there contract related to the work. I do not recommend this company to anybody unless you want to be disappointed.

Weems Burleson

This is regarding your employee Juan Navarro. Juan is an exceptional person. He has always been courteous and cheerful. I mention a mountain bike I had stolen a few months ago, and recently he inquired about it. We have always been very satisfied with his work, and the manner in which he conducts himself. I highly recommend Juan.

dexter knapp

They did an excellent job. Very thorough and diligent work.

adam Ren

Not happy with the scheduling, but very satisfied with Isaac and Jose. They are very thorough, polite and work very hard. Would have them back for repairs anytime

Susan Smith

I actually called because of the good reviews I saw about Corky's. I'm a believer now. Corkys was great. I will always go by the reviews from now on. Thank you guys so much

Kimberly Beltran

Corky’s completed a termite inspection for us several months ago prior to the sale of my house. At the time, Corky’s noted that a rotted post needed to be replaced, but our buyer fell through and we had to put the house back up for sale. To make a long story short, we found another buyer and at the last moment, his lender said the post needed to be replaced and the home would need clearance from your company. The buyer was able to get the post replaced first thing the next morning, but we still needed the Corky’s technician to re-inspect. All of this needed to be done by the date of sale. Our real estate agent spoke to the tech at Corky’s and he initially said he did not have any openings. We were in a panic! Given that we were likely to lose our home to foreclosure unless we got clearance from Corky’s and got the inspection report to the buyer’s lender by the date of sale, I pleaded my case in front of your tech to see if there was ANYTHING they could do. I spoke to the tech directly and explained our situation. He said he would speak to a supervisor to see if the technician could re-arrange his schedule from his appointments in LA or see if there was another technician that could do the job. Well, somebody made some magic happen, because Corky’s got clearance for the house all within a three hour time frame. They may never know this, but the technicians and their speedy response, and quick attention to their customer’s needs, might have helped us save our home in enough time from being foreclosed upon. I would like to humbly thank Corky’s and their staff for working so very hard to get this done for our family.

Edward Mlakar

kept me waiting for 4 hours without even calling me. I finally called and was on hold for 20 minutes while they lcated the tech to find he is going to be 1 hour late

Nicole “NikKiCole” Danley

Great company. Effective services, and friendly staff.

Beatrice Manneh

Not happy with the service. They don't find out what kind of pest (insect) you have but just spray for whatever. Did not solve our problem.

Ryana K

I've had a wonderful experience with Corky's! Very thankful to Gary King for excellent service! He is friendly as well as incredibly knowledgable and helpful with any pest control issue. You can tell he knows his stuff just by talking to him, and he tells me exactly what I need! He has years of experience and has efficiently taken care of my house. I haven't seen an ant or flea in years!

LAURA LOVE

Bad customer service, I was ok hold for 57 minutes from 8am-857 an and still no service. No supervisor no manger no service. All the women my call was directed to to were rude,dismissive, and didn’t want to help me. Johanna, Virginia and some other women kept redirecting the call. This experience happened to me at the San Diego location. I Never use this company again!! The technician was nice but SERVICE HORRIBLE!!!!

lisa rodriguez

I had a very good experience with Corkys Pest Control. Sal Garcia (cp6). He is one of their best techs. He is always very friendly, I had a sprinkler out and he fixed it for me. Corkys Pest Control Technicians goes above and beyond. A big thank you to Corkys

Craig Wright

We have used Corky's for over a year now and find that when the same tech comes to our property, Rick Arias #CP38, the service is exceptional as he has come to learn and understand the property. His experience and customer service is great!

Ryan Ingram

They were ok for gopher extermination. On time, professional, did the job. Only things lacking was the tech left before I could talk to him, so I need to follow up with the company myself to see what's next. Also, existing holes weren't covered up, so I'll have to do that or I won't know if there's new critters. Recent update - I would not use their service again. Customer service is lacking. I had a difficult time trying to cancel a recurring service I didn't know I had agreed to. They charged $55 for a follow up visit days before even coming out. Trying to contact their accounting / Customer service will lead to voicemail.

Iris Rivas

The communication with this company was very poor and everyone I talked to there was oblivious to what I was talking about or just didn't care. I regret having my house tented by this company and would encourage anyone else to reconsider. They couldn't even get my phone number right. Everything on the contract was pre filled out and I wasn't even asked basic questions. It was a complete waste of time and money. When I called to speak with the manager that was another joke needless to say I never spoke with anyone and they never bothered to call me back.

gmr Baxter

Thank you Raul Hernandez (CP 20) and Corky's Pest Control. We have been customers for 10+ years. We have had Corky's perform regular treatments around our home + have taken advantage of their Termite services when purchasing a new home. Over the years, the attention to detail, the time taken by technicians to explain what service was performed and overall general care has always been A+. One of the greatest pluses has been the personal relationship that is established with the techs. They take the time to talk to us when performing the service - many times tweaking the planned application based on our inputs. Our current tech Raul provides GREAT service - and we appreciate it! My wife and I would never consider changing to another company. We believe we have the best.

m Doratt-serrao

Have a monthly contract, it was great in the beginning but one of their best technicians left and service has been sketchy. The office and scheduling is terrible. They give you a 3 hour window and then don't bother to call if they will be late. The office managers don't do anything but promise it won't happen again and it does. You give them information on billing, contact, etc and you have to repeat each time you make an appt. Supervisors/managers blame their new employees when I believe it comes from the top.

priscilla roberts

Corky’s took care of my outrageous weed problem and will be treating them on a regular basis. Thank you for getting me out of the weeds :)

Susan Bower

Thank you Corky's Pest Control, you guys did a great job! Worked hard to make sure the job was done, way to go get em boys!

B

THEY DON'T KEEP THEIR WORD. Scheduled pest control for 10am-2pm. So I took a half day off work. At 1:58pm nobody had showed up so I contacted them and was told sorry there was a scheduling issue and so it was set for 3-5pm. They would rush the guy over at 3pm. Ok great I said, so I told my boss I'd be taking the full day off. And then nobody ever showed up. Now I'm left with a ton of ants and spiders all over, and 1 less vacation day. DONT TRUST THEM.

KJ

Been using Corkys services for almost 30 yrs. They have been courteous and professional.

Amit Paz

Completely unreliable. Did not show up when work was scheduled to be done and caused me significant damages in delays, as we had to delay moving into the house. They are also impossible to reach over the weekend (even when they are supposed to be working), and even during their official business hours. I would not use their services.

Penelope Freeman

I am impressed with the lack of bugs and the professionalism of Corky's employees, great combo!

Don Lynch

Tim Dempsey was courteous and went out of his way to make sure he had done everything we requested and that it was done to our satisfaction. We highly recommend him. He is an asset to your company.

Hank Dill

It was such a pleasure to have Corky's come out and take care of our home. Such a nice young man and very professional. I only hope there are more companies out there like yours that strive to employ those with such high integrity. Thank you for such great service, look forward to working with you guys in the future.

randy sampson

When Corky's came out I was expecting the run of the mill pest control guy, but what we got was the complete opposite. He was very thorough, polite, and extremely mannerly! Helped with any questions I had and was very clean in appearance. Appreciate the professionalism, for some reason it's hard to come by these days.

Aaden B

Recently had my home treated for termites & all though I had a few bids with other companies (some cheaper) I'm very happy I went with Corky's Pest Control. All thanks to the very informative young man Gabriel Bautista. A prime example of why a company such as Corky's is still up & running. I'm sure I wasn't his easiest customer but he definitely did impress me with his skills & knowledge. He was thorough, neat & conscious. Thank you Corky for taking time in hiring great technicians, like Gabriel who is a huge asset to your team. I will recommend Corky's Pest Control for any services.

Dan Bedingfield

Our technician, Andre Lopez, is always very courteous, even when we are somewhat upset by lack of communication from Corky's Office regarding scheduling appointments. He seems to have knowledge of what he is doing, and he does what we ask when we tell him what we want done, such as not spraying a new plant, and so forth. We give Andre five stars, but the Office only gets three. Fine job Andre! Thanks so much.

Lacey Wainwright

Corky’s completed a termite inspection for a home I was trying to sell about a month ago. Hard work and good customer service is not always recognized but in this case I believe it needs to be. I would like to truly thank them for their hard work. I know the buyer’s agent for my home, as well as I, was truly impressed with the respect and customer service we received from your company. If ever we need pest control services, we definitely use, and or recommend, your company because of the exceptional work and customer service we received. I would like the technicians to know that their work is greatly appreciated as well.

Linda Patin

I like the service, but the last technician that came was unprofessional hitting on me & asking me out while walking around the property. I felt uncomfortable

Pam

I've been using Corky's for over a decade. While I've had good experiences with the technicians, the office, billing and customer service has become terrible. They have changed service frequency, pricing, surcharges, etc without communicating with me. They went on to deny making those changes, despite my ability to prove what I've been paying them. Unfortunate, but I've canceled and moving on.....

Marcus Oneed

I have Corky’s come out every year to inspect for termites and I always request Chris. Chris is an asset to your company. I recommend him on a regular basis in the Park. Corky’s specializes in manufactured homes and I trust them and their services. Thank you from the O’Need family.

John Appleton

Our experience with Corky's is always great. The technician is thoughtful, observant, and very professional and thorough. They took a pretty big problem and minimized it quickly... which then eliminated the problem all together. Thanks for the continued help!

Racheal Rivera

Nice people and tried their best to help us.

Ronna Lavadure

The tech was extremely rude to both me and my neighbor and he did not do a complete job.

Linda Prince

I have been with this company for years love their service

Dran Reese

Great service! The service rep Gary always has a good attitude and is willing to talk about any bugs you have and how to remove them. We are pleased with their service., No more rats, ants, and creeping things.

Cliff Dusku

I called up Corky's for the first time after discovering an army of ants at my house. The tech came out (think his name was Chris?) and did an excellent job; he held a professional demeanor and was very accurate at determining the main issues with the ants. Appreciate the great service!

Dayle Moden

Great company did everything they told me they would do. Very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend them.

Jock H

Good staff, fantastic customer service. I've used them for years. Great company!

Harold Haarz

I have had service every 6 weeks for years. Here is what happened today. For longer than I can remember I have received a call the day before to let me know they are coming. This did not happen. Then when I asked for the number to call about it the exterminator said "It's on an old bill can't you look it up?" Finally since I was on a phone call when exterminator arrived I went outside to put my dogs away and he was already spraying. When I asked if that was dangerous for the dogs he replied "not if they do not go near it" All I can say is any company that let's someone who is this incompetent represent them and has that little respect for someone's animals has lost my business and they definitely do not deserve yours.

nancy ross

Fast and efficient servicre

Darin Johnson

I called for an estimate for Termite Tenting and was told they charged $150.00. When I declined I was then told their "technician," Sam, could give me a price over the phone. He then scheduled an Inspector to come out, and put me on "the schedule." The Inspector didn't show up, and we had to reschedule. When he came, he was great (Soloman), but we had found out that we also needed $7,000.00 in roof repairs. When I asked Sam to wait and reschedule our Termite tenting he got mad and said he would send me an invoice for $150.00! Wow! I would have thought they would have understood that the industry standard would be to treat the new roofing wood with the house! When I told Sam I was upset at his strong arm tactics and his lack of compasion he made disparaging remarks about me in his service notes. I guess he was unaware that these notes print on the invoice he sent to my email! Wow! Nice to know how Corky's really felt about me! I called to voice my concern and was told that they would review my recorded phone conversation. I would NOT want to deal with a company that has such sales tactics. Come to find out, they do not do their own termite tenting, but contract it out. Well, I was not looking for a sales man to find me another company. Huge disappointment after their Inspector Soloman was so nice.

Dalvina Henrich

Corky's Pest Control has always been a reliable, honest, affordable company for us. Our outstanding Service Specialist Luis CP114 has always been incredibly friendly, thorough and does a fantastic job on EVERY visit!! Great company, great service, GREAT Service Specialist!!!

James Roberts

We've been with Corky's for many years and have no complaints. The techs go about their business and our pest issues are at a minimum. We haven't had an ant in our home (knock on wood) for years. Each tech has been courteous and accommodating.

simone jensen

Some of the most knowledgeable and friendly staff at corky's pest control.

Jaime Weber

To be honest things started off great! My neighbor recommended them, the woman I spoke to when scheduling a consult was friendly and helpful. She asked if I would like to put a credit card on file so they could just charge as they serviced and I agreed. The gentleman that came out for the consultation was on time and professional. While he was here I asked to receive a 15 minute heads up call being that I have dogs on my property. I also gave both the gentleman that came out and the woman in the office my gate code to enter my backyard should I not be home. First service: Not the gentleman that did the consultation, which is understandable but the guy that came out had no notes regarding where to service my property and I had to walk him through my property as if he was there for an initial consultation. I work in the service industry and understand things don't always go smoothly the first time so I wrote off the lack of information on his side. Billing: I received an invoice saying I had not paid for my initial service. Curious being that my card was on file. I called and the accounting department stated I needed to give the ok before they charged my card on file. But I put my card on file so they could charge my card as service was done. Second service: No notice they were coming. I wasn't home. Came home to a slip of paper on my doorstep saying they were only able to service the front yard since the gate was locked. The gate that they have the code for. I called the office and expressed my frustration. Again, I work in the service industry so I tried to be as understanding as possible but clearly there's a lack of communication in this business. I was given a $25 credit as a "sorry". While speaking to the office I again requested a 15 minute heads up call. Third service: Didn't receive a 15 minute heads up call as I had asked for. Instead I received a "We're here!" call. The service itself went smoothly but I was home and had to walk him through yet again to ensure he understood where to service and gave him the gate code. Again. Fourth service: No heads up call. No "we're here" call. I saw him pull in to the driveway so I began to bring my dogs in assuming I had time to do so being that he would typically start in the front yard. However, the gentleman walked up to the back gate while my dogs are barking stating he was here to service! I asked if he had done the front yard already and his response was " I only have orders to do the backyard". Really? When did that change? I know I didn't change my service. I let the gentleman know I'm no longer in need of Corky's service and did't let him service my property. I called the office and was told the customer service person was not in that day so I left a message with the woman who answered that I was extremely dissatisfied with the service I had received and wanted my service cancelled. This was 6/30. On 7/1 my card was charged. I called the accounting department and was informed she had not received the message I had left the day before. I let the accounting person know that I cancelled service and wanted my card refunded. She stated she can't without the customer service persons approval and she was on the other line. I'm transferred and placed on hold. I wait. And wait. And wait. I get the message that the person was on the other line about 5 times before the message changes to the person is unavailable. So I call back. This is where the disrespect starts to really get awful. The women in the office are so incredibly rude, unprofessional and disrespectful. I'm placed on hold many times, laughed at, lied to and completely disregarded. This goes on for at least 45 minutes. Finally I need to get to my own job so I leave a message on the voicemail for the customer service woman. I express my grievances and let them know I expect to see my card refunded immediately. Refund never came. No call back ever received. Basically forcing me to simply dispute the charge. Despicable behavior for people that are representing a business in the service industry.

MARGARET JACKSON

PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. CORKY'S WILL CHARGE YOU FOR A "MONTHLY MAINTENANCE" YOU DID NOT REQUEST. I TRIED TO SPEAK TO ELIZABETH (ACCOUNT MGR) BUT SHE WILL NOT LISTEN AND INSISTED TECH DID THE WORK EVEN THOUGH TECH CAN'T GET INTO THE PROPERTY WITHOUT SOMEBODY BEING HOME (LOCKED GATE). ORIGINALLY THE BILL WAS $49 THEN THE NEXT DAY, I RECEIVED ANOTHER INVOICE FOR $98 BECAUSE I CALLED FOR AN EXPLANATION. ELIZABETH SHOULD NOT BE IN THAT POSITION IF SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO BE PROFESSIONAL AND SHE WOULD HANG UP THE PHONE ON YOU!!! I REQUESTED FOR A SUPERVISOR TO SPEAK WITH BUT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE WILL NOT CONNECT YOU TO ONE. THE COMPANY MUST BE HARD UP FOR WORK IF THEY'RE TREATING A CUSTOMER THIS WAY. I'M WAITING FOR A SUPERVISOR TO CALL TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

David Tingesdahl

This review is on Luis Mejia. He has always been kind and helpful when he comes to service my house. He has made sure that I get a call the day before because I have dogs and I have to bring them inside. He is friendly and does a great job!!! He is also flexible. We have had times where we have forgotten about him coming and he says just call the office and he will come back another day. This is big for us because of our busy schedules. Thank you Luis for being our pest guy!!! Dave and Sheri

Todd Richards

The technician was very personable, friendly, polite, and considerate. Great work.

Ga Junier

We've used Corky's for about 5yrs and have always had Awesome service. We are set up on the quarterly plan, our service technician "Ramon" has always been a delight and pleasure to work with. He is knowledgeable in explaining what he's going to do. We wouldn't use anyone else! So what are you waiting for, call them you can't go wrong!

marc winkler

Had him come to my restaurant for commercial service never followed up didn't like their attitude very nonchalant not a fan
