What recent reviews say

Pestex earns strong loyalty among long-term customers for professional, punctual service and straightforward communication. However, recent reviews flag pricing: termite tent quotes run 2x competitor rates, inspections cost $100 (others free), and warranty renewal terms are opaque, raising concerns about hidden cost escalation.

Recent shift: One critical two-star review (2 weeks ago) raised pricing and warranty transparency concerns, marking a notable shift from otherwise unanimous praise. Reviewer suggests potential ownership change and cost inflation.

Strong technician reviews and pest work praise are undercut by recurring no-show and billing disputes. Five-star customers describe thorough, friendly visits and quick response; named staff (Greg, Laila, Damien, Merson) earn repeated compliments for knowledge and courtesy. However, recent complaints detail multiple missed appointments despite prior phone confirmation, unexplained charges for services not visible on security footage, and continued billing after cancellation requests. One reviewer noted dependency on warranty terms prevents switching. The service quality divide appears sharp: those getting appointments report excellent work; those experiencing no-shows face unresolved yard problems, inflated costs, and poor post-call follow-up from the main office.
