Halt Pest Control

The Halt pest control people has treated me very well they are there anytime I need them to be, we had a bad moth problem and without them I don’t think I don’t think that I could have gotten rid of them or if there is a problem with any other insects they are right there to help so I would recommend them to anyone with a problem.

Charged $ 200 and didn’t do much. Their actions and explanations seem sketchy. The hard push for a maintenance contract should be the first signal that they don’t do a good job. When he was here, he only put gel bait in a few spots (and not much). When ants returned after 2 days they attempted to force me to sign a year contract rather than fixing the first half-​assed job they did.

I have been a customer of Halt Pest Control since September of 2013. In that time, I have needed to call them three times. All three times, they came FAST and solved the problems (rats due to sewer repairs in 2013, ants during wet weather in 2014 and 2016) immediately and completely. They are also very courteous, careful, and informative. Nice folks and highly skilled. Reasonable prices, not cheap, not expensive.

I am currently staying at a grimy hotel for the time being while my house gets fumigated, and while I am sitting here it this bad motel, I see ANOTHER cockroach! I am tired of these stupid things! They are all like «Hey john lets be friends!» And I am like NO little roach, BE GONE! I talk with the front desk and complain and they said «whatever bye Felicia», so I say screw this and I call This Halt pest control place and they come out very fast! They come in and start shooting up the place with their bada** pest guns that go «PEW PEW!» and they start a world war 3 in my hotel room! And they kill all those little creepy crawlers (they barely made it out alive!) and make my room safe once again from all those little pests! Now I can sleep for the remainder of my 2 hour visit since my house is finally done.

Always friendly, competent service. Give them a try!

We have been using Halt pest control for over 8 years! They come spray the outside of the house every two or three months. I never have problems with pests because of it. Great service

Every year during the rainy season, the sugar ants feel the need to stay dry and invade my kitchen. I immediately call Halt Pest Control. The scheduler quickly set me up with an appointment and gives me recommendations on dealing with these little intruders while awaiting for treatment.
A technician from Halt Pest Control arrived the next afternoon. He explain exactly what chemicals he was utilizing, it’s properties and the effects it will have on not only the visible ants but those that are lying in wait in my walls.
Within days, the ants have retreated and I feel comfortable again in my kitchen. Halt Pest Control will treat the exterior of my home when the rains subside to assist in keeping my little visitors away.
Since having Halt Pest Control treat my ants at my home, I have also utilized them to deal with mice issues at my companies office. Again, the technician came into our office, explain the process of setting the bait, enclosed in protective containers but available for the mice to feed on. He informed the staff on efforts to keep their work areas free from food and snacks that attract the mice.
Excellent service! Highly recommended to all!

I use consumer reviews extensively when hiring for work to be done at my residence. If I have a minor negative experience, I will refrain from writing a negative review because I understand that I could damage the reputation of a business. We hired Halt in February because we were horrified to find evidence of rats in our attic. We were complete novices at hiring a pest control company and foolishly signed a service contract at the technician’s first visit. He was extremely polite and set some bait in the attic and at two locations outside the house. When he arrived for the second appointment he dodged our questions about a plan to prevent rats from reentering our attic. He told us that he thought that we would have to excavate under our front porch and install a product that is currently being used to halt rat burrowing in NYC. He said that he’d gather some information and get back to us in a week. We never heard from him again. After researching the problem on our own, we decided that he was ill informed and decided to call another company. The trouble started in ernest when we phoned Halt to talk about this. The receptionist had been abrupt when I had made the initial appointment but I just assumed that she was having a busy day. She became rude and combative and informed us that we would not be allowed to break our contract. We explained that the only reason that we wanted to terminate our agreement was that the technician seemed overwhelmed by our problem. Even though we made a point of stating that his manner was pleasant and that we had no complaints with his behavior, she kept insisting that we did not like this man. Finally, she agreed to send us a long time technician that she referred to as the «Rat Nazi». The second technician arrived and was also very polite. He quickly assessed the problem, put fresh bait in the outside boxes, and used a special spray under the porch. His efforts were 100% effective. I just got off the phone after trying to schedule a routine follow up appointment that is covered in our contract. We asked that the second technician be scheduled to service our account. She became heated and said that he was not assigned to our area and she refused to take him out of his assigned area just because we did not like the technician who originally took the call. Once again, I was put in the position of assuring her that we liked the first technician, but his personality was not the point. He obviously felt out of his depth with our problem and we wanted to see the technician who had cleared things up. She adamantly refused to send him and continued to criticize me for disliking the first technician. It would have been funny if I hadn’t been so frustrated. Finally I agreed to see a third technician. I was told that I was the first person in 17 years who has ever filed a complaint against the first technician. For heaven’s sake! We LOVE the first technician!!! I regret that my family is complete and I will not have the opportunity to name a child after him. This woman is kooky. Stay away.

Thank you, Halt!
Two days after an influx of carpenter ants made an unwelcome appearance in our living room, we looked to Unilocal for assistance and called Halt. A real person picked up the phone after hours, scheduling a call back for the next morning. They returned our call promptly, showed up on time and took care of our ant issue outside the house (we have a toddler and were wary of pesticides in our home.)
Damn those ants, but excellent service from Halt!

Great company! Came out the next day to look At our carpenter ant problem. Explained how to avoid them in the future and took care of them that day. Good pricing and friendly technician named Brian. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing service and attention to details. They left no stone unturned and gave me an explanation for everything that they did. I am a huge skeptic when it comes to pest control, these people are the real deal.

Would not call them back. Bad experience. Did not solve insect problem.

Recommend by a colleague after our recent house purchase. Outstanding service by all involved, from the front desk to the technician. He was friendly, attentive to our input, and very knowledgeable about his craft. No hard sell for future visits, but we’ll use this service again.
Much cheaper than the nation companies we called, and great service. Very happy with this organization.
