Absolute Serenity Pest Control

Milton was fantastic! I was going through a very traumatic time as an elderly family member had been transferred to a Skilled Nursing Facility and I was responsible to clean out the apartment. The roaches were so bad I couldn’t go through his important papers. Milton was responsive, thorough and very kind. Highly recommend his services.

Milton is always professional and courteous. He shows up on time and performs the work efficiently. He is polite and easy to work with. We have the quarterly service done and have no issues with bugs since he started. I like doing business with smaller companies when possible and have not been let down by Milton.

Milton and Absolute Serenity continue to be my one and only pest control company. He has been doing quarterly treatments at my house for almost seven years now. I have no evidence of spiders, crickets, yellow jackets or ants.
Milton is always on time and so very pleasant! I’ve even had a couple emergencies at my moms house, and Milton came through (and on a Saturday)!
Absolute Serenity is the best! I guarantee!

I am not typically the person who takes the time to write reviews online but when the service is above and beyond expectation I cannot help but share my experience.
My wife and I just purchased a home that was a short sale, so we got it as-​is and was not 100% sure of what we were getting in terms of unwanted critters hanging around. We didn’t have any noticeable signs of pests or rodents within the house, but considering we will soon be bringing a newborn baby home we wanted the peace of mind of knowing that our house was clean and clear.
We found Absolute Serenity online and called to find out what it would cost for an inspection. I spoke to Milton over the phone and he was very pleasant and patient. He asked very specific questions that I was not 100% confident on how to answer, so he came by the house within 30 minutes to take a look around. He took his time to inspect the entire home and patiently answered my long list of questions. He ended up finding signs of rodents underneath the house and identified where they were coming from. This is the point where I expected him to give me a ridiculous quote for what it would take to solve the problem. Surprisingly, he gave me excellent advice on how I could take care of it myself and even gave me a trap to get started. He also educated me on how to properly secure all parts of our house and what signs to look for if there are any issues in the future. By they way, he was right… I found a rat in the trap the very next morning (disgusting!!). We took his advice on all of the repairs and are well on our way to a rodent-​free home.
As most first time buyers would probably agree, there is no shortage of service providers trying to convince you to buy what they are selling, and they can sometimes use fear tactics to persuade you. With the way most people feel about pests and rodents in their home, pest control companies can easily play on your fears and take advantage of people who don’t know any better (like myself). I was pleasantly surprised with the way Milton represented himself and his company. He truly treated me like a person and not a potential sale. He has earned my on-​going future business and I highly recommend you give him an opportunity to earn yours.

These guys didn’t show up for a scheduled inspection or call to cancel. This means:
1) I missed an afternoon of work for nothing, and will feel it in my next paycheck.
2) I’ve lost five days in my battle with pests, more when you add in however long I’ll have to wait for the next business I try.
I have experienced some really bad customer service from large companies lately and thought going with a small business owner would be a better idea. I guess not.

I had an active problem with ants and termites. I called Absolute Serenity, and over the phone, Milton advised me to get rid of the termites first, then tackle the ants afterwards. Milton referred me to a termite company that took care of the problem and soon after, I set up an appointment with Milton to get our ants sprayed. I am so glad I took his advice to rid the ants after the termites, since the ants were very active to get at dead termites, etc. The ants also made their way into the kitchen!
When Milton showed up, he was very professional and courteous. He sprayed both inside and outside our house and overnight, voila! No ants! He also assured me the spray is safe for children and pets, since I have a new puppy and young children. It’s been a week, and there is not a sign of ants. My puppy seems fine even with chewing on everything.

My husband and I just bought our first condo in downtown Long Beach in a 1980s building with 40 units. Having seen one little critter on one of our visits in the buying process, we knew that we wanted to have it treated before we moved in.
Absolute Serenity had the best reviews and we contacted them immediately. Milton arrived on time and was efficient, friendly and so incredibly knowledgeable. When we told him what kind of pest we had (color of roach), he knew exactly what kind of treatment we needed. He educated us about pest control and we agreed to a quarterly maintenance schedule to keep the pests away.
Milton treated the entire space, set bait and let us know that we weren’t infested. It has been a month and there has been no sign of pests. We will be seeing Absolute Serenity in two months as scheduled. Thank you for amazing service from an expert professional!

I’ve been having ant problems due to the heat and drought. Milton was very professional and took the time to listen to my concerns over the phone, knew what he was talking about and answered all of my questions. His quoted price was comparable to other companies I called.
He did show up a bit late, but took his time spraying inside and outside of the house. The product he uses is pet-​friendly (so there’s no need to board your animals) and the liquid dried within 30 minutes of application. He even sprayed around several fixtures where the ants had come in. It took him less than an and he offers a 30 day guarantee, so if you still see bugs, he’ll come out and re-​spray at no additional charge.
I saw a few dead ants the following day and It’s been a month since he sprayed and I haven’t seen any more ants or other bugs.
He’s been in this business for a long time and is very knowledgeable… I would recommend him!

some guy tried to pull a fast one on us today. I called Absolute Serenity Pest Control to come spray, dude (Milton) tried to jack up the price for some lame excuse. I wasn’t home when he showed, first thing he did was ask my mom if I left the payment… what a douche.

Do not hire this guy! He will try to jack up the price once he’s at your house! Milton asked me over the phone what type of bugs I was seeing. I told him we had one that looked like a small roach, and a big regular sized roach. First, he was late. I wasn’t home when he went over to provide the service and the first thing he did when he arrived at my mom’s house is ask if I left the $ 180 he quoted me. After speaking with my mom, he called me and told me that it was a different type of cockroach from what he thought, and said he was going to have to charge more. I reminded him that I told him we had two kinds, and there shouldn’t be a difference in price based on what he said and quoted. He said it was still going to cost more, so I told him we’d call someone else and he left.
First of all, you’re gonna expect me to know the difference between an American cockroach and whatever other species there is? Second of all, if it is an American cockroach and not whatever else, it’s gonna cost more, why? He should have at least warned about a change in price.
Bullshit. I originally called Milton based on Unilocal reviews. You have to understand that many businesses hire people to write good reviews, or offer people discounts for writing them. That is probably what this guy is doing. Don’t believe the other reviews.

It’s good to see that excellent customer service still exists. So glad i found them!

You never know what to expect with the low quality of service and communication these days.
Yet to my surprise not only was I shocked to see the company show up on time and ready to rock and roll, but we were blessed enough to have the owner show up on our doorstep!
He was pleasant, informative, engaging and had amassed thousand of hours of pristine knowledge in the pest control business.
When you want good service you can’t ask for more than that!
He was quick, efficient and he educated me on the finer line of ridding our new dwelling of those gross critters call silverfish.
Milton was attentive, studious and followed up immediately with a location diagnosis and what to expect in the future.
His entrepreneurial spirit, kindred presence, friendly smile and expertise in pest control business are a culmination of a man who has put over twenty years of «sweat equity» into his own business.
Milton is living breathing proof of the «American Dream.»
If you want a pest control expert Milton is your guy and if you want A-​1 service then Absolute Serenity is the go to company for the job!

Best exterminator/​pest control service. Period. Milton is friendly, punctual, and efficient. He will make sure the job is done right.
He addressed our ant and silverfish problem easily and quickly. Recently, bird nests in our roof tiles allowed bird mites into our house. Without his help we would have had to move out of our house. I can not thank Milton enough. Just hire him.

Where do I begin? I was so upset about a bug problem that the owner came out inspected calmed me down and get this. He said NO CHARGE because he couldn’t fix the situation but told me exactly where to go. I appreciate his honesty and integrity.

WOW! What a great guy Milton is, he’s on time, professional, courteous and just great customer service that you don’t see anymore. I do my research on everything I do, and this was no exception, you can trust the reviews on Unilocal,Absolute Serenity is everything and more.
I am so happy I didn’t go with the big, corporate companies who treat you like a number, Milton is the real deal! I signed up for the quarterly plan on the spot, because I knew he would do a great job at a great price. Thanks Milton!

I had Milton from Absolute Serenity Pest Control come out today to give me a free estimate/​evaluation. He’s an amazing person, but more so very knowledgable. We signed up for a quarterly plan. He was out today after he sprayed with three different size brushes removing all the spider webs and spiders he could find. Huge bonus he actually came at the time he said he would come. Very respectful. So glad I found this company!
Look forward to the next time he comes out to get rid of those pesky spiders and crickets!

Milton is the real deal! He is an honest, genuine, hard working guy.
We have some rental properties and the tenants were complaining of large spiders in the garage. We wanted someone to come out asap. After reading the excellent review on Unilocal,we called Milton and he was great. He was knowledgable, friendly and was eager to help. We made an appointment for service for the following week. The tenants are happy. They see a noticeable difference and had also had great things to say about Milton and his professionalism.
Since that service, we have had him come to service our home. We like to patronize small business owners. They seem to give a higher level of costumer service and we appreciate the hard work it takes to have your own business. Milton took the time to explain the spiders he found on our property and was very thorough with his service. We are now on a quarterly maintenance plan for both our home and income property and couldn’t be happier to have found our «pest guy».
We would recommend Milton without reservation.

My daughter had some weird scratching sounds awakening her every morning around 3:30 AM.
She was recovering from surgery and did not have the ability to look for he cause herself. I called Milton as soon as I found out about her dilemma. Milton returned my call promptly and was out at my daughters the next morning.
Milton did an inspection and saw several places where varmints could have entered her attic. He closed off potential entry points, set traps in attic. The scratching continued.
The situation was quite a challenge. Milton started looking on her actual rooftop to try to see if anything might be roosting. After about a week of milton putting some sort of traps on the roof the problem left or was captured.
At all times milton was courteous prompt and very helpful to my daughter. we both agree we would use Milton again.

We couldn’t be happier with the pest control treatment from Absolute Serenity! Milton is such a nice, genuine guy! As soon as a day or two after the treatment, we have not seen one ant! Our front and backyard are also clear of all ants and black widows. Even the silverfish are gone!
The appointment was fast, easy and non-​toxic! Even our dog could stay during the treatment. Best money spent since our move to Long Beach and every three months (or as needed) Milton will swing by and do a quick follow up to guarantee no more bugs! We signed up for the very affordable quarterly treatments. The incredible new comfort level in our bug-​free home is beyond priceless (but it helps that the price is totally reasonable and absolutely worth it).
Amazing service and safe for use around our pet and baby on the way!
Thank you Milton!

Milton is awesome! Had a rat problem, I had lots of vegetation around my roof, but thought the critters were in my wall. He assessed the problem, looked for entry points and advised needed to cut back vegetation and set a bait trap. Also set up traps behind my stove. Caught one two days later. Milton arrived 15 min after my call. I also have not heard anything since he put out the bait trap. He was right, they were on the roof not the wall. This guy knows what he is doing! As others have said he is also very nice, honest, and puts up with my overly zealous dog!
Thank you, Milton
