D & J Pest Control

D & J Pest Control came to our rescue in the middle of a stressful move when another company stood us up. They came within a couple hours and were really thorough about investigating our roach problem and treating completely, with good advice about how to avoid bringing these bugs into the new place. They even uncovered another pest problem we had been completely unaware of, saving us from moving an infested piece of furniture, which we quickly relegated to the curb for our city’s large item pickup. Ben and Sam get highest praise for courtesy, professional behavior, and really going the extra mile for us. I hope I never have to call on their services again, but if so, it will be with complete confidence!

We found bedbugs in the house we moved into. Called D&J, found here in Unilocal.In the house, mostly hardwood except for the staircase (and no furniture), D & J still charged over $ 600, with a timely appointment, but told me the exterminator would drill into walls, spray inside outlets, take care of silverfish in the house and cockroaches 20 yards outside the house and ants. Two weeks later, we still have silverfish, cockroaches, ants and still have doubts about bedbugs as we still feel new bites. For the follow up, Jenny said it would cost around $ 300, and told me to take off all the outlet covers myself, so requiring me to do extra work, and I have serious doubts, thinking they never drilled the walls to spray inside as claimed (no evidence of it). Plus no guarantee on bedbugs. I wouldn’t use them again. Promise more than delivered, expensive with dubious results.

D&J has been fantastic in eliminating my mother’s long-​running issue with bed bugs. I found them to be very patient with my mom (who is mentally disabled and can be ‘taxing’) and they went above and beyond all service expectations. Highly recommend — great service!

Two weeks ago I found a cockroach in my hallway by the front door and we have been having wasps all around our house under the roof eaves. D and J came out and found the roaches were coming from our water meter and under our driveway (cracked because of tree roots). We signed up for a regular maintenance which includes removing all the nests the wasps were making, spider webs, and spraying the house outside. So far no problems. Ben is who came out and Jenny helped me on the phone, both nice and knowledgeable.

good service for a good price

We chose D&J because they were highly rated in Checkbook.: a small local business with an excellent reputation.
Dr. Ray examined the cockroach in our trap and thoughtfully proclaimed it exactly as he suspected: the dreaded Blatta Orientalis! As he carefully examined all the nooks and crannies in our home he explained that these 1 inch long glossy dark brown and black bugs loved to migrate in the Summer. He pointed out that the males have long delicate wings that enable it to take short flights; alas, the poor female has only wing stubs behind her head meaning that she is earthbound.
According to Dr. Ray, our cockroaches outdoorsy type insects: they prefer living under mulch in landscaping or dwelling in local storm drains. They can range up to 500 feet from their nests to forage for garbage and decay. I asked if our worm farm: which had been located in the garage until we spotted the roaches had lured them into our garage. He looked thoughtful and then said he did not think so; they were probably coming in after the water.
Dr. Ray lay down a perimeter of death: he carefully and methodically targeted any and all areas that the cockroaches may find attractive. He warned us that since they have been evicted we may see a few more in traps for a couple of weeks — but then it all should settle down. He then offered us the bill: which was exactly what we had been quoted, and gave us his card if there should be any issues.

Came into contact w/​D&J when we moved into a bed bug infested apartment. Our tech Ben, was always helpful and honest. Bug problems suck no matter what; it’s great to have someone who will give you the DL in a friendly manner.
The problem was never really taken care of, but I blame that on inept property managers who refused to approve appropriate remedies in a effort to cut costs.
When it came down to it and I had to take the property group to court, D&J saved my butt! They provided me with spraying records from our time living there and even before we moved in so I could prove there was a prior problem. It is rare to come across this type of honesty. Even though it may have affected their contract with the property group, they showed great integrity by placing the truth above profit.
This is a family business and if I ever had a bug problem again (and please pray that I never do!), I would call D&J.

guys, it’s a rip off. $ 155 for one time. and they were asking me all sorts of silly questions like how many feet outside your house and what not. and that fee doesn’t include the inside either.
many other cheaper and VERY effective companies out there. Aantex. $ 133. ants didn’t come back for a year. inside and out.

This morning we awoke to find rat turds on our kitchen table… Can you say gross much?
We called D & J on a whim (they were local to Santa Clara Co and have been in the industry since the late 1950s so why not them) and Ben, the CEO, was out to our place within the hour.
He was very thorough, took the time to walk the entire house, address the needs, set traps and give us an estimate for keeping these pests out. We feel very sure with D & J but have yet to catch anything (I guess it has only been a few hours!).
Will update later on but as of now 5 star service in response and quality of service.
