When I started my first pest control job it was the summer of 2003. I started as just an apprentice at a small company out of a small town. I didn't know much about bugs then, besides they all looked pretty nasty and dangerous. As much as the job creeped me out, I couldn't help but find it interesting.
Before I knew it, I fell in love with the job. I got to drive around all day, play with bugs, and meet new and interesting people. I knew then that I wanted to start my own pest control company. After studying, 3 years later I earned my technicians license and termite license. It's been 13 years now since I've started doing pest control in Dallas, TX.

I have been a loyal customer of Bug Head for almost three years now and I will continue to be for many years to come! They are very easy to work with when it comes to scheduling and always willing to follow-up between treatments when requested if an outbreak occurs. The technicians are knowledgable and explain to me in layman's terms what a particular issue might be and what they are doing to address it. If you're in the market for an exterminator, look no further than Bug Head. You'll be happy you did!

I would not recommend this company, because of their misleading information and astronomical rates. I have a one bedroom apartment that is a 750sq.ft. space. Bed bugs were found in the bedroom, cost around $490. The company inspected the entire apartment and told us we only needed to spray the bedroom. They offer a 6 month warranty. We were told to not replace the area with furniture or mattresses so we didn't.
A month later we now have bed bugs in the living room. The company said they would do a new inspection to access the "new cost". I asked about the warranty they stated it ONLY covers the bedroom. We aren't actively using the bedroom per their instruction. The additional cost would be around $490 a room. What a joke! There is no way to control where bed bugs will migrate too within a apartment people are currently living in.
So why not treat the entire apartment up front!?! Their explanation is to keep down cost. Although I believe their rates are high! Word of advice, when a customer calls for an exterminator they expect an honest inspection with a TOTAL cost of services! I would much rather know up front what my total cost could be, so that I can make an informative decision, as opposed to a nickel-and-dime approach! Now, I'm stuck with a bed bug problem and having to hire another exterminator. This company is truly a money pit with horrible customer service and unethical practices. DO NOT HIRE, Keep looking!

Jeremy was meticulous about treating our home, inside and out! He took great care in making sure our pets were safe from anything harmful and made sure we understood how to get the most of the treatment done in our home! Very professional, very neat and clean, left no mess behind. He was gentle and sweet to our fur babies. We want him for ALL our quarterly treatments! 5 stars without hesitation! He was the best!

If I had to describe this company in one word it would be HONEST. Which is hard to find in Dallas these days. Every time we've had a technician come out, our experience has been nothing but professional. Like a good honest mechanic, bughead won't charge you for something you don't need, and won't recommend a service they don't think you need. They have my business locked in.

Our Technician, Heath, was friendly, thorough and offered to place ant traps throughout the house. I didn't even know such things existed, and I was very pleased he went above and beyond. He was also gentle and thoughtful about our dogs. I have also called the company with questions a couple of times, and they always get right back to me. Bug Head Pest Control is effective, and the people are friendly to work with!

I highly recommend Bug Head for ALL your insect needs. They can handle anything from ants, spiders to rodents! They are experienced professionals that you can count on and trust. They have several plans for preventive/maintaince and no contract! I have been using Bug Head for several years and will continue to do so. Everybody is great to work with including the office. You get personal and better service than using a big company. I am a Custom Home Builder of 40 years and I and here to tell you they are the best in Texas! Nick

I used Bug Head in Feb 2020. They installed a oneway door to remove a squirrel, came back a few days later and removed the door + repaired/reinforced the area so the squirrel couldn't get back in. All of this for $350. Five stars. Fast forward to this year. I THOUGHT a squirrel was trying to get in to a different area. The Tech comes out and immediately says "yep, you have a hole." He didn't get on a ladder or do anything to confirm a hole two stories up.
I asked him to confirm with a ladder. He answered that, to get on a ladder alone, it would cost me $795 even if no repair is needed. What?!? Oh, and if a door was needed, $895. I would've gladly paid a $79-$89 service fee, but to charge me for a full service when nothing for sure is needed? 1) Don't tell me your costs more than doubled in 1 year and you are still $200-$300 cheaper than your competitors (edit - both the 2020 and 2021 locations were on the 2nd floor in equally as difficult spots to reach) 2) Don't tell me there's a hole without getting up there and showing me a picture of said hole 3) Don't tell me it costs, regardless if a repair is needed, $795 just to step on a ladder.
Funny thing is, I got my ladder out and confirmed there was no hole. I still added some reinforcement though just to stop any further damage. All-in, I spent two hours of my time and $10. A far cry from the $795-$895 this company quoted me. I'm hopeful they return to their 2020 level of service. But, until then, they won't be getting anymore of my business.

Our home is near a body of water and we have a unique pest situation. They were able to treat our large yard and still be conscientious of the safety of the lake and wildlife that depend on it. We had rodents galore which attracted snakes. All of that is under control and we can now enjoy our yard without swarms of mosquitoes and mayflies. Very reasonable prices and no contract!

Update: Truly unreal service. I don't think I've ever dealt with a company with which I was happier. They've come back several times to help us get our house under control for no additional charge. Original Review: Great, friendly, family-owned-local-business-type service! Kristen at the office was very helpful in providing initial information when we experienced 'flymaggedon', a 36-hour period where we killed over 100 house flies in our new house. Jeremy was a great technician, helping us identify potential sources of the problem and leaving us with tools to help address problems immediately as they appear going forward.
Thanks for taking time to talk through our concerns. We appreciate all the tips, especially as new homeowners. Also, the initial service was less than our co-pay on our homeowners insurance policy, which was nice.

Great company! I the responded to my request for service very quick, and the technician was very friendly / helpful! This company is affordable and willing to work with your schedule and specific pest problems. So far I have not had any pest issues, but I'll update my review in a couple months if that changes.

I cannot say enough great things about Bug Head Pest Control. From the initial consultation 2+ years ago we have been 1000% satisfied and most importantly bug free! The girls in the office are nice. The techs are thorough and the owner who came out and did our initial consult was as nice as could be. He even took time to educate my husband about what to avoid, what to look for etc. The prices are great too. Much more affordable and customized service than the household named companies that shall not be mentioned.

Jeremy treated my apartment about a month ago for pests. He did an awesome job and I'm so thankful and grateful for him to really help me. He did an amazing job and really gave clear directions so that I understood the entire process. Big thank you Jeremy if you read this! I will always use this company if I have any more pest issues in the future. From my experience I would definitely recommend this company to anyone needing assistance with pests. Thank you!

Jeremy was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, answered all my questions, and did an amazing job. He even took the time to check the attic for birds once more after he patched the holes and before he left just to give me peace of mind. He was absolutely wonderful, and I would recommend him to anyone! Additionally, Bug Head Pest Control ended up charging me less than they quoted me. bonus! :

I found Bug Head Pest Control via Yelp and 5/5 WOULD RECOMMEND! 1. Bug Head Pest Control is hands down the fastest responding contractor I have ever dealt with. I submitted the online information request option on the Yelp website at 7:54am and received a message back from Jeremy at 7:55am (ONE MINUTE LATER!) offering a free inspection and asking for my availability. 2.
On my day of scheduled service they were very accommodating with the time and were actually able to get to my condo an hour earlier than expected. (Another win in my book. I personally hate the waiting game that I have to play with AT&T every time I have internet issues). 3. Jeremy completed my inspection, gave his honest input and did not try to oversell services.
Truth be told, he didn't even push for me to purchase anything today. However, for my peace of mind (and a preventative measure) I had him apply a general pesticide to my entire unit which he was able to do in less than 20 minutes. 4. As a bonus, everyone at this company that I have talked to is extremely friendly. It is clear that they want the best for their customers and I will definitely be using them again for future service needs.

I called Bug Pest Control in a panic and they definitely did everything they could to help calm me down. I really needed someone out right away but they were booked and I had to wait three to four business days to get someone out. I had called other businesses but after talking to Bug Pest Control, they really offered much better customer service which is why I waited for the appointment.
The employee who showed up with very friendly and answered all my questions. He even helped me move items around to get ready for him to spray. Overall my experience was great. The reason I didn't give them 5 star rating is because they didn't honor the discount they offered on Yelp. I called twice for them to fix the bill and they never did. It did seem like the office team was a little unorganized. It was a little frustrating that they didn't honor the discount. Otherwise good experience.
