Home Guard Pest Control

These guys after multiple years continue to impress. Service tech Erik patient in explaining efforts and very knowledgeable of plants to help us address some challenges. Worth the quarterly payment to ensure ant free existence here.

The company is so much better than others I have used. They go over and above to find all the creepy crawlers, and the services is priced just right. They come out at a moments notice for no extra charge. I would not use anyone else.

We have been using Home Guard for several months and have been very satisfied. This past service was done by Doug. He as so thorough!!! He checked for creepy crawlies and brushed down the outside of our house – lights, porch railing, window sills. He changed our mouse sticky boxes, and pointed out how mice were getting to our BBQ grill. I was so impressed. After our service call, he made his call to our neighbor’s house. When he was done there, he call me to let me know test I forgot yo close my garage door! I would HIGHLY recommend Home Guard.

Mike Robinson at Home Guard was great! They delivered everything they promised. We had some questions after hours and Mike responded right away! He is the main reason we went with this company and we had many consultations with other pest control companies. I recommend them to anyone looking for a great exterminator!

I called as we had ants coming in after all the rain. In the bathroom, the kitchen, most living areas. Gary at Home guard pest control was very friendly and gave a great service. They came out the next day to deal with my ant problem and will happily return free of charge if I have any issues within the period. I highly recommend them.

Ruben is the best! He is #1 at his job. We had a huge issue with Ants. He came out was able to provide us with information and answered all of my questions. Thanks for your hard work Ruben! Merry Christmas.

We bought our dream home in March 2015. Almost 3 acres. After calling around, we settled on Home Guard. Best choice we’ve made. When you’re sitting on 3 acres in Escondido, it comes with lots of critters. Our tech is Marc and not only is he a genuine nice guy, he’s always assuring us if we need anything to never hesitate to call. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Our critter population has dropped to almost nothing.

I called because we have a lot of spiders in our backyard and we are unable to enjoy sitting on our back yard patio because of the amount of spiders. My husband is constantly killing them and we are hoping the service will get rid of them long-​term.
Fast service: Called based off a referral from a friend, got an appointment the same day. Very friendly receptionist and accommodating.
Friendly serviceman: The gentleman, Gary, that serviced our home was professional, friendly and thorough with explaining his service and areas we need to improve in order to help keep bugs away. He said it was his first day and it seemed like he knew what he was doing and well educated on bugs.
Pricing: got a price break because I was willing to be flexible in booking a service call concurrently with another service call In the area. They require that you sign up for a one year contract, by getting your yard sprayed once a quarter. You can pay by check or credit card.
Service: They do your initial spray, then 30 days after that, and then once a quarter for the remainder of the year. Feels good to know it’s taken care of for a year.
Over all bug review: it’s only 3 days so I will update later to truly review the value of the service and if they really get rid of spiders and bugs.
So far, so Good!

A fantastic company — really good folks over there, that say what they mean, and mean what they say!

Did not deliver services agreed to by contract. Lied about providing service. Can’t be trusted.

Stan is intimately involved in the customer service aspect of this company, and has done a great job at answering questions and ensuring we receive the best possible service.

I called them to help me with my crazy ant problem & to reduce the amount of spiders too. They had the best deal around & good reviews. I’m glad I went with them. The ants finally went away & I hv yet to see any return! Marc has serviced the inspection the last couple of times & he has been nothing but courteous, professional & very friendly. I appreciate his great customer service & his can do attitude as well. Great service for a great price

Great work all the critters are gone and the worker service was superb so I’m saying great work home guard I’m a satisfied customer.

We have had Home Guard as our exterminator for two years now. Eric is by far the best rep at the company. He is always helpful and knowledgeable.

I started this service in July. I have to say the guys that came out to my house were very professional and polite. I have a very large dog and Blade was very comfortable with him. He explained what he was doing and how the treatment would work. I was very pleased with how well the treatment worked on the ants. However my biggest problem was spiders. According to the flyer the treatment kills spiders. There’s a huge picture of a spider on the flyer. My home, garage and around my house have been sprayed twice a month for three months straight and I still have spiders. It wasn’t until the manager Ruben came to my home that I learned spiders can only be killed if the treatment is sprayed directly on the spider.
WTF, if theres no guarantee that your treatment will kill spiders then why does your flyer say it can? This was very misleading especially since spiders were my main problem. I would recommend this service as long as you don’t have spiders

Follow up to the above review. Not only did the service not work but the company has continually called and harassed me about paying for a service that didn’t do what it claimed.

I am pretty disappointed with these guys, not in terms of their pest control but in terms of their customer service. We signed up last year and had to cancel for other reasons than how homeguard performs their service. I wanted to sign up again yesterday because of a spider and ant issue. I need somebody quickly and they promised to send somebody on Monday which is good. However, then they said they slightly (!) increased the prices which is fine but… The increase was by 150% and I was going to be locked into an annual contract! I think that is bad customer service, a slight increase would have been fine, I understand that I may have gotten a great deal last time but 150% is pretty outrageous. They already service a few of our neighbors’ houses so it would have been easy to come out here for them after the initial treatment.

Called Home guard to start pest control measures for our ant problem. Blade arrived on time, thoughly described the treatment process and worked with us as he found pest issues. We are very satisfied with our decision to use this company.

I’ve increased my rating from 1 to 3 stars due to the quick response from management (the comments below) — I will further update my posting after a hopeful resolution to my problem.

Be careful with these guys — the sales girl told me they could match the price another company was charging me, so I switched — the girl was friendly and I figured I’d give her the sales commission.
Now, after the first spraying, I still don’t have a copy of the contract, but they have called me asking where my payment is, AND tell me that they WON’T HONOR OUR AGREED ON PRICE.

Update: Homeguard has taken care of my roach problem. We have not seen any since their last maintenance! We appreciate their effort going above and beyond to make a customer happy.

My husband and I have had Home Guard for 5 years. I love it! I think the price is great, when I call for them to spray for bugs they come out within 1 – 3 days. I’ve only had to wait 3 days one time, and I believe that was because it was over the weekend. I have never had problem, and was actually sad when I had to cancel their service because we are moving out of state.
