BEWARE of the Agents that come to your door especially “Luka Badie” he was friendly and diligent in getting me to switch to Terminix and seemed to be hooking us up with a better deal claiming that he would pay the cancellation fee of a pest control that I was contracted with already, yet now I’m stuck with my cancellation fee stating that it wasn’t paid. I contacted Terminix and they said “Door Knockers is a separate entity from Terminix. As such, any representations or commitments made by their

Aloha! I had a fantastic experience with Aloha Pest Control, thanks to Carlos. From the moment he arrived, he showed great professionalism and a genuine aloha spirit. Carlos took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all my questions, and approached the job with care and attention to detail. Carlos mentioned he’s originally from Miami, but with the way he carries himself you would think he’s been here in Hawai‘i for years. His respectful attitude, easygoing personality, and island-st

Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Michael! It's fantastic to hear how Carlos's professionalism and thoroughness made such a positive impact during your service.
Carlos helped us with our first initial service. From the get go he was very professional and easy to work with. He was very thorough with our specific treatment plant. The summery of the treatment was delivered in an email with details of the treatment and the specific products used. The summary email was in my inbox before he left out property. I feel comfortable knowing how transparent they are with everything. The invoice was also very detailed. I feel like I got more than what I paid for. G

Dear Patty Jo. What makes more sense to you? A person with prescription glasses wanted “military issued” safety glasses that he can’t use and decided to steal them. OR A person who just had eye surgery and now possessed a pair of new glasses for that purpose might have mistaken your husband’s glasses for those glasses? I work in safety. Safety glasses are cheap and intentionally disposable. In what world is that a desirable item for theft? Which is more likely? An innocent mistake and some crazy
Ricco and James have been wonderful! I called around for quotes for a move out pest control, and Ricco was so easy to work with! Then, move in day to the new place and there were tons of ants. Ricco was able to come over less than a hour after I called and got them all taken care of before we moved everything in. James and him are professional, punctual and most of all so easy to work with! One less stress and thing to worry about. Thank you both! Looking forward to knowing who to call anytime w
Who knows the names of their pest control people??? ME! James, Koa and Rico have this bug thing wired!

If there is ever a proble
I live on Kauai and coordinated Termite Tent Fumigation through Kauai Terminix. They use The PEST Group Pearl City monthly to help their Kauai clients tent fumigate against termites. On 06/19/23, Josh, Scott, Tana and Maka made it to my home to set up tent fumigation. These four men showed me plenty aloha and also showed actions in how hard they were working. Josh kept me on the same page with him pertaining to the contract and preparations, while the other men worked hard and diligently in of
