Customer reviews for Doug's Bug Company
Kathleen Franklin
While I haven't yet used the service, I just want to say that I was really impressed with Josh who explained everything about the types of bugs I'm seeing, the way to treat them, and the differences in landscape that either encourage or discourage them. He is a gem. Thanks!
Michael Donnellan
Speaking with Kelli about bed bugs convinced me they would handle the problem.Justin arrived and demonstrated his knowledge and confidence.
Maria Gorete Paiva
Doug and his employees were all friendly and did a great job. Will highly recommended them. Kim at the office was always friendly on the phone if I had any questions.
Chris Jacobs
Josh was great to work with. He did a thorough assessment of our yard and checked a few areas in our home that we wanted him to see. His explanations about the service (bug control) were clear, and when we agreed to proceed, his findings and treatment at our home were very helpful. Thanks!
Cathy Emery
First, I am impressed by this company for many reasons, 1 of which I was actually able to speak to a person at length. Kelli was so professional and provided great customer care. She indicated that they didn't believe in holding you to a contract, but wanted you to return because your service plan was working for you! Raul, performed the treatment with great detail to the exterior/interior of my condo. He called prior to arriving, too. I'll see how effective the treatment plan was in about in a week. I had a very expensive - yet useless treatment plan from PurCor. I clearly described my issue with mosquitoes and was sold a plan that didn't include mosquitos. Beware, the proposal is vague. I was charged for a year of treatment when I tried to cancel - or I could upgrade a plan that included mosquitoes! Beware, I got stuck with $150 for the 1st treatment (which didn't include mosquitoes) and $250 for the next year. Can't cancel by text/email, letter or voicemail and you must talk to a Customer Service person who is known by the title "Retention Customer Service person". Tells you something right there!
Provider response
Thank you, Cathy. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad Kelli was able to clearly explain the service and that Raul was thorough, communicative, and respectful of your home.<br><br>We also appreciate the opportunity to earn your trust. Please keep us updated on how things look over the next week, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Liz Bees
I am really impressed with Doug's Bug Company! Kelli is extremely personable and helpful in assessing the best solution. She responded right away when I had additional questions. Josh did the extermination, and went above and beyond to help mitigate the issue. He proactively sealed some areas where pests were potentially coming in, which I am so grateful for his extra effort and work.
Provider response
Thank you, Liz! We’re glad Kelli was responsive and helped you find the right solution, and that Josh took the extra time to seal possible entry points during the treatment. We really appreciate you recognizing their care and effort.

eowyn lashell
I can’t recommend this extermination company enough! Josh and Kelly are absolutely incredible at what they do. Kelly, the receptionist, is so kind, helpful, and responsive—she made the entire process smooth from the very beginning. Josh, the exterminator, went completely above and beyond. He was thorough, professional, and took the time to explain everything while making sure the job was done right. You can really tell they care about their customers and take pride in their work. This is hands down the best bug company I’ve ever worked with. If you’re dealing with any pest issues, do yourself a favor and go with them—you won’t regret it!

Patricia Hanson
We had our house tented for termites Monday and completely done in 2 nights 3 days. Throughout this whole process Kelli assisted us with everything. She has kept us informed throughout the entire tenting process. She’s gone over and above to assist, answered questions and make this one of the smoothest processes I’ve ever been through. Kelli is an absolute fantastic asset to Doug’s bugs and I don’t know what I would’ve done without her information, availability and calmness. She made sure I understood everything. She is an absolute treasure, informative and wonderful to deal. Dougs Bugs & Kelli have gone over the top when it comes to having your house tented and the stresses you go through. I highly recommend Doug’s Bugs.to anyone who is in need of getting their house tented for termites. Kelli went over and above she is informative, kind and so helpful. The gentlemen that tented the house again over the top they were kind, friendly and so fantastically efficient. It made this entire process run smooth as silk. Five stars to Kelli she is just an absolute dream to work with and thank you Doug‘s Bugs!!!!
Provider response
Thank you so much, Patricia. We know termite tenting can feel like a big and stressful project, so it means a lot to hear that Kelli helped make the process feel clear, organized, and manageable from start to finish. We’re also glad our crew helped everything move along smoothly and efficiently. We truly appreciate your trust in Doug’s Bug Company and your recommendation.
Erik McCracken
Doug and his team were great to work with. They were able to come out for an initial inspection on short notice, and meet a tight timeline for tenting as well. They were knowledgable and happy to answer all the questions I had as a first time homeowner needing tenting. Highly recommend!
Provider response
Thank you, Erik. We know needing termite tenting as a first-time homeowner can feel like a lot, so we’re glad Doug and the team were able to make the process easier and keep things moving on a tight timeline. We really appreciate your recommendation and the chance to help.
Roxy Rickaby
Doug's Bug were super nice from the initial call to the tech that came out. They came quickly too! Chris explained a lot about how the rodents were getting in and what there patterns are. He also shared ways to save money on the rat removal by handling an easier task that I can do. Doug's Bugs are my 2nd quote and they came in less expensive and I feel like they will continue to do a great job on a icky problem!
Provider response
Thank you, Roxy. We’re really glad you had a good experience from the first call through the inspection. Chris does a great job helping homeowners understand what’s going on and what steps can make the most sense, so we appreciate you pointing that out. We also know rodent issues are never fun to deal with, and we’re grateful you chose Doug’s Bug Company to help get it handled.

Victor is our "bug guy". He is always thorough and pleasant and professional. Since hiring Doug's Bugs to treat the outside of my home I have not seen one ant or creepy bug! Thank you!

Provider response

Jessica Chavez
Amazing company! You will not regret going with Doug’s. We had our house fumigated before we moved in, and it was a smooth process. Kelli helped us get scheduled right away, and she was super helpful in guiding us through the process and ensuring we weren’t more stressed than we needed to be while closing escrow. I cannot thank them enough for their efficient and effective work!
Provider response
Jessica, really appreciate you taking the time to leave this. Getting a home fumigated right before a move can be a lot, so we're glad Kelli made it easy to schedule and kept everything clear from start to finish. Thanks again for trusting Doug’s Bug Company for the termite extermination. If anything comes up after you’re settled in, just reach out.
Joanna Espana
Josh and Doug came to treat my home for termites. On the unpainted wood in my attic, garage, and shed they sprayed it with a chemical that will kill the termites and continue to kill them. On my deck, which was painted, and had a LOT of termites, they used a different procedure, they injected the poison directly into the wood. I was absolutely thrilled that I did not have to have my house tented! Doug and Josh were on time, very professional and friendly. I was gone most of the time they were working to stay away from the fumes, and they texted me when they were wrapping everything up. I would highly recommend both of them!
Provider response
Thank you, Joanna. We really appreciate your detailed review and are glad the treatment approach was a good fit for your home. Every termite situation is a little different, so it’s great to hear the attic, garage, shed, and deck were all addressed with the right method without needing to tent the house. We’re also glad the communication and timing helped make the process easier for you. Thank you again for the recommendation and for trusting Doug’s Bug Company.
E G
I hired Doug's for whole-home fumigation. The process was professional and smooth. Good communication, honest, no upselling. Recommended!!
Provider response
Thank you for the review. We really appreciate you trusting Doug’s Bug Company for your whole-home fumigation. Glad to hear the process felt smooth and straightforward, and that the communication made a difference. We appreciate the recommendation.
David Freeman
Joshua does a very thorough job. Our house has been bug free ever since e we started with Doug’s Bugs
Samantha White
Doug's Bug didn't give us any hassle and fully honored the warranty when we discovered termites had re-emerged after our home was fumigated before we moved in. (The initial fumigation may have been compromised because burglars attempted to break in.) Office manager, Kelli, was always available and quick to answer any questions we had, and was incredibly accommodating when we had to reschedule. We will definitely use Doug's Bug again in the future.
Jenny Saar
Friendly, competent, timely, professional.
Amanda I Lumm
Doug's Bug Company has been excellent since they first came to our house for a termite inspection. We used their termite tenting services and continued with their pest extermination. All their employees have been very responsive and supportive of all our needs. Excellent customer support, I highly recommend Doug's Bug Company.
Phillip Kossy
Doug’s Bugs is a wonderful company to retain for termite eradication. The cost is more than competitive and the work is quick and efficient. The wood repair work done at my house was thorough and meticulous and followed by careful painting. On top of this, Doug and his staff make more palatable an arduous aspect of home ownership.
