Dennis Whitley on Dynamite Pest Control

Dynamite Pest Control has many positive reviews, which is why I chose them for a mouse issue at my 92-year-old mother’s home. Unfortunately, our experience did not reflect that reputation.

The technician identified an entry hole but spent only seconds at the area before ending the visit and billing $250. I did not observe meaningful bait placement or sealing of entry points.

At the two-week follow-up, he only checked the kitchen bait and added nothing further. I expected more care and thoroughness, especially given the situation. Overall, the service felt rushed and disappointing.

If I could put half a star I would.

Rich, the service technician (and owner's son) arrived on time, and that's about the only thing that went right.

He was abrupt with me when I met him at my front door and while he was on his cell phone with his child and said to me, "Wait a minute," then continued his discussion with this child. There was no, "Hello sir, excuse me for a minute while I finish this call, thank you." It was as if I were knocking on his door and interrupting him during an important call.

Then, and quite shockingly, then next words out of his mouth when he steps inside my house are "My wife just left me." As if I needed to hear about his personal life at the moment.

Trying to be empathetic, I offered my condolences and then he goes on to say, without hesitation, "Oh, it's ok, she was doing all kinds of drugs anyway...." My jaw just about hit the floor. He then proceeded to find something on his cell phone to show me pertaining to his marital issues -- again, as if that's why I asked him over to my house.

As he took notice of my annoyance, his demeanor with me changed and he demonstrated a hostile attitude towards me when I was asking him questions about my rodent issue.

Finally, when we were in the basement and he identified an access hole where he believed the mouse or mice were entering into the walls of my house, he went towards the hole and within three seconds turned heel and began to walk out stating he would be writing up my invoice. Incredulously I looked at him and then at the access hole and wondered how he could have laid down poison that quickly and thoroughly. And for the grand total of $378 I felt there should have been a greater level of coverage around my house and in the basement.

You've been warned....DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!!

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!!! Rich came in and rushed through the service, damaged my furniture, and pretended to spray my basement for rodents. He claimed he inspected for entry ways. No traps where laid on the inside nor did he add any pepper spray on the outside. Proceeded to charge me $486. He ripped me off.

Ann & Rich were absolutely on point with service and professionalism! I needed someone to remove a live mouse from my unit and check/ re-seal entry points last min on a Friday evening. Ann was very pleasant and thorough with taking my info and getting the extermination tech out to my rental in less than 10 minutes! Rich was fast and very understanding with the goal of identifying additional holes and possibilities of new breaches behind appliances. Service fee also included a 30 guarantee that any other issues would be swiftly resolved, which is very appreciated. Highly recommend, especially if you need swift and quality service for pest control, residentialor commercial. Will definitely use them again if needed!



Frequently Asked Questions

Common requests include mice and other rodents, roaches, ants, and bed bugs. Seasonal calls may also involve wasps or hornets on the exterior. The team performs inspections and targeted treatments based on the issue. Call to discuss your specific concern and scheduling.

Same-day or next-day scheduling is sometimes available, especially for urgent mouse or rodent issues. Availability depends on the time of day and current route capacity. Calling early improves the chances of a same-day visit. The office can confirm timing when you call.

A technician will ask about recent activity, inspect key areas, and recommend treatment steps. For rodents, this may include bait placement, trapping, and exclusion recommendations. Interior and exterior points of concern are reviewed where accessible. Follow-up needs and timing are discussed before the visit ends.

Follow-up scheduling is available and varies by pest and treatment plan. The office can outline expected timelines for rechecks, especially for rodents and bed bugs. If activity continues, contact the office promptly so adjustments can be made. Documentation from the first visit helps guide any next steps.

Preparation depends on the pest. Generally, clear access to baseboards, under sinks, and around appliances helps. For roaches or bed bugs, additional prep such as decluttering or laundering may be advised. The office can provide instructions when you book.
