Q:
Professional cleaning after tenting?
A:
They left the house in excellent condition and even took care of the gravel around the house that had to be moved away for tenting.

What is your warranty policy for a tented house?

Thanks for asking! If you see drywood termite activity during the term of the fumigation limited warranty, we will send out our field supervisor to inspect the area of concern and confirm if this is a current infestation or evidence of the prior… more

- P H.San Diego, CA10110347Jan 12, 2024Updated review
Thrasher treated my hardware floors for termites back in May of 2023. A few days ago, I noticed a few new droppings in my office. Lisa booked an appointment for a re-treatment 2 days later with my same technician. Allie was on time, very professional, friendly, and went to work immediately.
While treating the spot that I had noticed, she found additional droppings. She then tracked the termites by moving some furniture and other things to determine the entire area that needed treatment. She was finished with everything in about 15 minutes, explained how the new nontoxic chemicals worked and said to give them a call if I saw any further signs.
All of the work was done under warranty and I even booked them to come do my free yearly inspection of the rest of my house. I highly recommend Thrasher Pest Control.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

May 10, 2023Previous reviewAli from Thrasher came out to do my termite treatment today. She was on time very efficient, friendly, professional and knew exactly what she was doing. She explained exactly what she was going to do, how she was gonna do it, and cleaned up after herself. She did a very thorough job explaining afterwards what I should do to periodically inspect the areas to make sure the termites don't come back. Mike E. the inspector was also very professional, thorough, and friendly. I would highly recommend Thrasher if you need a termite inspection or any services for treatment. The had the best price, guarantee, and the longest warranty for their services.

I hate to leave a bad review right before the new year. However I do feel I need to inform others about the negative side of the company since it has so many excellent reviews already.
This review is solely about the process of estimating not the workmanship.
Sent a request on Yelp about termite treatment and the company responded very quickly and sent Seth over the next day.
After the initial inspection, Seth said there is termite in the wall and thus the house needed to be tented. In addition, he offered a wood repair quote since the termite would come back a lot quicker without the work.
Without previous termite experience, I agreed with that. And then he started his two hour estimate process and left me a hefty price quote for the wood repair. I would not just leave a bad review based on a
High quote of extra service or pushy selling, that's their job anyway.
However, in the process of estimating, Seth used a long stick to knock around the house, and then poke multiple holes along the eve of the roof round the house and patio structure without my consent or permission at all. I understand the parts he poked holes are either damaged by the termite or rain(the patio structure), but it does not grant him the right to further damage my private property just to prove that there is a termite. Or he assumed I have use him for wood repair after his further damage.
or example, the car body shop can't and will not enlarge the dent more to show there is a dent, right?
No one will accept that action right?
Anyone, hopefully, reads this review and gives me an explanation on how estimating could result in damage of my property
Not going to use them.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1Business owner information

Paige, we are sorry that the techniques used to assess the existing termite damage at your house were not communicated to your satisfaction. Our aim was merely to assess the termite issue accurately. This involves tapping the wood with a probe, and if there is already damage to the area, we need to determine how deep the damage is. This action is more like a dentist assessing whether a tooth only needs a surface filling or a crown. Using a probe is the accepted and common industry practice. It is never our intention to cause additional damage. We apologize if our intentions were not clearly communicated. We will strive to improve our procedures for better communication. We look forward to the chance to rectify this situation. I have reached out to you to personally address your concerns. We look forward to speaking when it is convenient for you.--Sincerely, Garrett Thrasher

These guys tented the house next door. They vented the next day. And when I got home and drove into my driveway way they were blowing out right next to my driveway so I get out of my car door to a blower ten feet away. Now I have a sore throat.

Thrasher termite had great customer service from the get go. I inquired on estimates for termite fumigation as well as rodent control and their rates seemed reasonable. We decided to move forward with them for our fumigation needs, and they were able to get us an appointment with their third party provider on the day we wanted. The reason for 4 stars versus five is we were given a window by the third party that didn't ideally work for us. The consolation was they said they would call 30mins ahead to let us know they were on their way - didn't happen, and they arrived a few minutes late from when the window was supposed to end.
From a scheduling perspective this was unprofessional since they could have advised us they were running late, or have honored the 30 minute window that we were told we'd receive. Clearly this was not under Thrasher's control, but was a disappointment considering how smooth everything else was. I would recommend them just the same.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

We always receive the most prompt, courteous service from Thrasher. Raul is friendly and professional. He provides you with thorough information.
But it was the office that really stood out recently when they took the time to send a sympathy card after our dog passed. A simple comment from Raul and the office sent such a heartfelt message from Thrasher. It meant so much. Thank you for amazing service and your thoughtfulness.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information
