Customer reviews for Haderle Pest Control
Dustin Vaden Pascal
John Haderle at Haderle Pest Control has been fantastic to work with. He’s come out to our home twice, first for mice and ants, and then again for ants. After his initial treatment and follow-up, we haven’t had a single mouse since. The ants eventually came back, but that’s really a reflection of where we live, not the quality of his work. Our area is well known for persistent ant problems, and John was upfront about what to expect. What really sets John apart is his professionalism and approach. He’s kind, personable, and takes the time to explain exactly what he’s doing in a way that’s easy to understand. Rather than just spraying around the house, he focuses on locating and eliminating the colonies while also creating a double barrier to help keep pests from returning. He also stands behind his work with a six-month guarantee. I also appreciate that he’s environmentally conscious and provides clear instructions to keep pets and other animals safe during and after treatment. If you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely cares about doing the job right, I highly recommend Haderle Pest Control.

Made an appointment for rodent control and they never showed up. No communication to cancel, nothing. Wasted a few hours of my time.
Lawryn Monterroso
Took a little bit for him to get back to us but really appreciated his business model as very honest and not just trying to sell us anything and thought he was reasonably priced. Would use again!

Jon was kind, on-time and showed me each area of concern and his plan for remediation. He explained the detailed electronic estimate. Looking forward to having the work done. The inspection and estimate cost was $175.

Very responsive, professional. I especially appreciated the level of transparency and communication on what the problem is and the steps to fix it. Highly recommended.
Nathan Coben
John communicated so clearly about the inspection, his recommendations, and his repairs. I have total confidence in John and would recommend him to anyone having pest control problems.
Mike & Dee Steele
We've been customers of Jon for years. He is always responsive and thorough. He listens to my concerns (I hate bugs, rodents, etc.) and proposes appropriate remedies. He protects the wildlife (birds, frogs, etc.) by not using harsh chemicals in the extermination. As he says "They (wildlife) would have to roll around and swim in the chemicals to get sick." We have been fortunate, being long term customers, to watch his business grow. He comes very highly recommended.

Thank you for the review Dee! Always a pleasure to see you and Mike!
Lanie Choi
This is my second time I am using Haderle, and Jon who is the owner/tech has been our go to guy for the school. I highly recommend this pest control company! Jon was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive from the very first call. They took the time to explain the treatment process, answered all of my questions, and made me feel confident that the issue would be resolved. The technician arrived on time, was courteous and thorough, and treated our property with great care. Since the service, we’ve noticed a significant improvement and have had peace of mind knowing our school is protected. If you’re looking for reliable, honest, and effective pest control services, I would definitely recommend them. Thank you for the excellent service!
Lauren Casterson
Wr recently discovered mouse droppings in our garage and shed, and connected with Jon. He did an inspection, determined where they were coming in and sealed up those areas and set traps. He was incredibly helpful throughout the trapping and cleaning process! We would use him again and recommend to others. He was also easy to communicate with and punctual!
Shannon Ramos
Jon was fantastic. He was professional, kind, and thorough. I had rats, and he had to do multiple checks to get them all. He even went as far as to move an outside structure, and put it back together, where the rats were getting through. I would definitely recommend him.
Ashkon Hamidieh
Couldn't be happier with the service. John is as thorough as they come — didn't miss a detail. He communicated clearly, showed up when he said he would, and came back for follow-up visits without us having to chase him. Five stars all the way and highly recommend!
Paul Mekis
John was professional, and very creative, engineering to seal unexpected openings to the house. He’s on time, and reasonably priced
David Lustig
This is the second time I’ve used haderly Pest Control and each time they’ve done a very efficient job of excluding squirrels from the attic of my house
Matt Dini
I had a very satisfying experience with Haderle Pest Control. I called to make an appointment on Saturday. The next morning, Sunday, John arrived and thoroughly inspected for mouse entry points. After applying some sheetmetal and screwing down some siding I believe my rodent problem is solved. Thank you John Haderle.
Paul
John was very helpful and thorough, ants are gone after three days!
Mila Baer
Wow,peace in the house finally!,best mouse buster in town,he came inspected our whole house and found areas that are open to invasion by alien mouse creatures .He set up traps and in 2 days elimination of uninvited guests.I didn’t think I needed inspection but glad he did it. Found a crawl space vent that had a hole ,which he repaired real quick ,but also saw an erosion area and alerted us to get that taken care of which we would have never seen. So I guess we will keep using his company every rainy, cold season before the creatures return to. Check out our cars and our house. Should have called months ago instead of trying to do it alone. Thanks Haderle!
Bruce Dykaar
Jon from Haderle Pest Control did a great job with a rodent issue. He knows his business (and it is his business), shows up prepared and on time. Very efficient. He answered follow up questions which were helpful. He's my guy for any pest issues.
Douglas Brown
We had an infestation of bats in the eaves of our mobile home in Montevalle. Jon did a great job first inspecting and identifying the roost location and ingress/egress routes, then sealing them with either painted flashing or wire mesh. The work looks very clean and professional, not slip-shod. One photo shows the screws securing the wire mesh and the other shows one of two rain downspouts that were left for a week at egress points so the bats in the roost could exit (which they did) but not reenter.
Janine
Jon did an evaluation of our very old house to help us get rid of rodents. He found active and inactive entryways all the way from the ground to the roof. He fixed everything for a very reasonable price. Jon is friendly, thorough and clearly has experience. Highly recommend!
Christine Pavan
Haderle Pest Control did a great job on a huge project - clearing out decades of rodent habitat in an attic. The attic was cleared out, all entries for rodents were blocked off, and the attic was sanitized. I am very satisfied with Haderle Pest Control.
Cori Burt
Hadderle Pest Control is a very reputable pest control company from Santa Cruz County. John Hadderle replied and came to do the estimate quickly for a vacant mobile home with rat infestation that we were helping get rat abated for a friend. John's quote was reasonable and amount of abatement was thorough, but honest about what was not needed. The work was finished by he and his reliable worker in a few days (except for ongoing trapping). He is continuing to trap rats under the mobile home and inside the home as part of the quote with 1 year warranty, and helped remove food items that we neglected to remove from the cupboards. We've also used John Hadderle at our home, and our church was referred to him by a local construction company as well.
Marino Hernandez
Called Haderle Pest Control to help me figure out why my previous rat control measures weren't working. The technician inspected my property and within an hour showed me entry and exit points and had a very fair proposal to secure my property, trap, and monitor my rodent problem until it's gone. Great customer and professional service.
StaceyEly
Great service and quick knowledge of the situation.
Hal Gant
Friendly, on time and efficient! Can you ask for anything more in service? How about professional, thorough and reasonably priced? John Is helpful and answered all of our question. His knowledge and experience are reassuring. He answered all of our questions completely. I highly recommend Haderle!
Donna Odryna
Excellent service, easy to coordinate and work with. Explains the process and answered all my questions. Very thorough job, made the entire process very easy. He comes out and takes care rodent removal and resets traps as part of the service. Secures entry points for rodents so they can't come in anymore. Highly recommend.
dan shupe
John did a great job blocking areas of entry rats were getting in under my house. His work is professional and precise. I would highly recommend him for any pest control job.
John Gillingham
Paid in advance for multiple services and then never responded to texts / phone calls again. 1 star for one household visit. Committed to coming back and said would come back and then, ghost. Quick to respond to new business. Very unfortunate and sad to act in this way. Some guess a 1 hour service (or so) for $500. At least there was something done!

I’ve worked with Haderle Pest Control twice now — once in 2017 and again in 2025 — and they truly are experts in rodent exclusion. The work they did on my first home back in 2017 is still holding perfectly; the house has been rodent-free for eight years. Now in 2025 I hired them again for my newly built home after my tenant heard rodent activity in a wall. Even the initial consultation was extremely thorough and informative and well worth the money. They explained everything so clearly that a DIY-minded person could have done the work themselves and they were even encouraging me with lots of advice — but I chose to have them perform the exclusion. They sealed the home professionally and walked me through every step. Although I handled the trap-setting myself, they still gave me excellent advice and even provided better traps than the ones I had. I caught a couple of rodents right away and a few more after the sealing — and now the house is completely rodent-free. They also treated the homeperimeter for ants, provided a solid warranty, and their billing was transparent and fair. Consistent, honest, knowledgeable, and reliable. Highly recommend Haderle Pest Control for Rodent Exclusion and Extermination.

Haderle Pest Control did a great job eradicating my very stubborn ant problem. I haven't seen an ant since the treatment. I'm grateful for the peace of mind. Would definitely recommend the service .
