To Start, I have been a customer of Dewey Pest Control for 14 years without a break. We have had nothing but problems the last 3 months. June 5, not cleaning spider webs (after several months) , July 20, did not do the service when they called me. Got a call on 8/17/17 @ 4:50PM from "a service guy" . No show -- again from this El Cajon office on Bond Ave. You guys are charging me without doing the service now! Before it was just crappy service. This is the worst service EVER!!! No more c

I have been dealing with springtails getting in my house for the last month. My former pest control guy told me he had already sprayed and was hesitant to come back. I called Darrin at PPS, and he was there the next day. The tiny pests still found their way in, so I called back. Darrin’s son came out again the next day & was happy to come back as often as needed. They really do stand by the 3 month guarantee. Great customer service, friendly father and son, and best of all, I believe my problem
I called Darren at PPS to come out and spray my yard a couple weeks ago. My poor dog was getting bit with a lot of fleas and luckily for me he made time with his busy schedule to come out and save my dog. Then a couple weeks later the kids and I started noticing we were getting bit inside the house. I called Darren back up and sure enough he was back at the house the next day to spray. Even better, he said he would spray the inside and outside of the house for free! He said he would consider th
We started out using the services from Annex primarily for gopher control in 2018. However, we quickly switched to local termite services, then inspections and fumigation. Now we use their services for all of our pest and termite needs. They are easy to communicate with, they take notes when scheduling with our tenants, they are very knowledgeable and we value our long relationship with them as they are honest and won't waste time and money on something they know won't work. We hope to continue

I am a property manager/ real estate broker in San Diego and recommend annex pest control to all of my clients. They have been doing routine maintenance for apartments I manage for over 6 years, have done countless termite inspections for my home buyers, and have tented my personal properties and clients properties. If you want fair pricing and excellent service please reach out to them, you'll be happy you did. Also, they have very friendly/ helpful owners that care about their customers. Serio

These guys are great. Hard to find genuine people that actually want to help instead of take your money. I will never go to any other pest control business as long as I live here. Father and son business. Very transparent. Great guys. If you have a pest problem, this is the place. Can’t beat $128 for an ant spray that lasts 3 months.
