Gaia Pest Control was fantastic and what was the interesting about this rule is we somewhat stumbled upon them. About a month ago we called the Bergen County Animal Control thinking they could help us with respect to a skunk that took up residency underneath the shade of our emerald greens shrubs. BCAC informed us that unless the animal appears to be physically harming people there wasn't much they can do and suggested we reach out to our local police outfit. We called our local Maywood police who said they would send an officer and said they will see if there is a pest control partner they could reach out to. So, about 10 mins later I walk outside ready to meet the officer and I see Gaia Pest Control. So I introduced myself and thanked him for coming so quickly. He responded and said ok, but I'm just here to spray the property across my side street for insect control. I was beyond surprised and said Maywood Police didn't contact you and give you some background that a resident has a skunk problem, he cordially said no, but said, "If you want I can try and help." I jumped all over this especially since it was a Saturday in the later afternoon.
What can I say, Paul was beyond cordial, incredibly professional and humanely captured our skunk friend and even informed us he would take it to an animal sanctuary in Northern NJ which made us happy. Yes, don't like skunks, but wasn't looking for the animal to be euthanized. On top of all of this, I asked if he charged by the 1/2 hr or was there a fixed rate. He absolutely floored me and said you would be a first time customer so whatever you're comfortable with. Seriously? Really? Am I dreaming? We made an offer and he said that was more than fair.
If you have an insect and/or pest problem, don't think twice. Don't reach out to those corporate powerhouses (you know who they are) and pay an exorbitant amount of money. Paul is your man, your answer and he will do whatever it takes to ensure you're pleased/happy with the services he provides.
Thank you for making our problem a...
   Read moreI reached out to a few pest control companies on Thumbtack about a mouse problem I'm having in my house in Jersey City. Paul responded very quickly (he was first to respond by many hours) and explained what he offers that's relative to my issues. After a little conversation, so he could understand the scope of my issue, he suggested some days/times that he was availble, which we agreed to be the next day.
Paul came over, on time, and was super nice, informative, and professional. He walked me through what he was doing, how I could help the situation, and transparently explained plans and pricing. He came over 2 days ago and so far I haven't seen any signs of mice. Of course it's difficult to completely solve immediately, especially in a 100+ year old house, but I am confident that Paul will do his very best to make sure he does what he can to get rid of the mice.
I've had some issues on Thumbtack with flaky people or overpriced companies, so was hesitant. However, I couldn't recommend a better company/person to help for this sort of thing. Definitely reach out to them if you have any issues...
   Read moreFirst and foremost, contacting Gaia pest control was the absolute BEST decisions I made! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable and professional.
From their amazingly friendly, organized and super responsive receptionist (Lauren), to their knowledgeable, professional, and detailed exterminators (Jani and Paul), to the great pricing and follow up services! It was a great experience all around.
I would recommend this place to anyone and intend on coming back to them on a yearly basis to ensure that my home is pest free as it is an older house with many more crooks and crevices. They were on time to every appointment, called well in advance to find times that work for those of us who have jam packed scheduled, and really gave you a break down of what the issue is, what they can do to fix it, a game plan for possible future issues as well as a few prevention tips for the future. It was an absolute pleasure! I’d give them 10...
