Victor came to the house and was very thorough. He explained in detail all the issues in my home with entry points/gaps etc.. He also explained the exact service he could provide for my home. He wrote me a quote and said he would provide it to in roughly 30 mins or so. I will move forward with. Victor and his services once it makes sense financially.

Victor was amazing! He did an excellent job in assessing the situation and quickly sealing up all entry points. I would highly recommend him for his services. His fees were reasonable. I already referred his services to many of my neighbors.

Jimmie was exceptional in helping with my rodent issue at my condo! He arrived on time, was extremely personable (and asked me about my dog and showed me pictures of his!) and was communicative about what he was doing and how to fix the issue I was having, as well as explaining why previous attempts had been failing due to improper materials and missed holes that needed patching. After the assessment, he generously offered to get started right away on patching holes with sheet metal and once done gave me tips on what to look out for and what I should be cognizant of for when to call back under my warranty for a second visit. It is still only a day later, but I feel very confident in his work and am looking forward to not seeing mice in my kitchen! Thanks again Jimmie!!

Great service and responsiveness! I had an emergency mouse problem, and Victor was able to help in under 24 hours. He was very knowledgeable and professional, and I feel relieved that he located all the entry points. Highly recommend, and thank you to Victor!

We have had a nice issue for over 5 years and reached out to 3 exterminators including Orkin who charged over $1200 for a years contract and the issue didn't get resolved. Private Pest Detective came in 1 time and I have not seen mice since.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer a free inspection to determine exactly how many rodent entry points customers have in their home. Pricing depends on how much work needs to be done.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Our owner Victor has been in the rodent exclusion industry for years. Having worked for several other large companies in the DMV area, he noticed gaps in the industry and decided to solve the issues that some companies weren't fulfilling.
