Hydrex Pest Control

Jason serviced my house. He was pleasant, professional and did a great job so far in inspecting and baiting my home for rats and checking for termites. I’lll use Hydrex for fixing my home to plug the holes. We cannot say enough and will use Hydrex for any pest issues in the future.

Jason did a very professional job for me, and his fees are more than competitive.
Kudos Jason, and thank you for your help in solving my problem.

These guys are awesome. Jason helped me out, very friendly, honest and straightforward. Wish there were more good smaller businesses around like this. Previous companies tried to sell me on big expensive plans. Jason gave me reasonable options and provided honest analysis. Thier prices are reasonable, not cheap, but fair. I strongly recommend and will use them again.

Jason and the team is great at addressing customer’s problems. I cannot say enough great things about Hydrex. They answer the phone immediately and will stop by your location that same day if possible. They are so knowledgeable in what they do. I wouldn’t trust any other company to take care of our facilities.

Paul Sanna was totally AWESOME! On time, professional and top notch! I would recommend him and his services to anyone!

If I would have called this guy first, I would have saved $ 2,500 on nonsense.
I have a very long story but I’ll spare you. Direct message me if you want more details, happy to help anyone in the struggle.
Long story short, I thought I had bed bugs. I called another service (you can find them on my list of reviews) and they sprayed my house for $ 1,000 never finding a single bug. Then I had two different K9 inspections (also on my list of reviews) which turned out negative for bed bugs — but I still had these red itchy welts all over my body. I did some research. It could have been bed bugs, rat mites, carpet beetles or something else. So after all of that I decided to call a REAL exterminator and find out what was going on.
Jason came by, super nice guy. We talked for a while. I told him my crazy story and showed him some of the «bites» on my back. He said they didn’t look like bed bug bites to him. I was dumbfounded. So he did a search of my bedroom. He found one tiny mite and showed it to me and took it for testing. Meanwhile in our talks he asked me about skin conditions, if I changed soaps, etc and told me to try going to the doctor’s to see what they thought. He never charged me for the visit. God save him. I had paid so much money before calling them that I was relived not to bust out my checkbook again.
So as soon as he left I went to urgent care to get looked at. Well, turns out I had an allergic reaction to some antibiotics I had taken a week before. No bugs! $ 2,500 and a week at the hotel was all unnecessary. I could have went to Hawaii. **cries**
He called me later to tell me about the mite he found but reassured me again that I didn’t have a pest problem. Everyone has a mite here and there. I told him to send me his info, I will never call any one but Jason again. Amazing!

Ryan is our regular pest control guy. He is very friendly and professional and knows what he is talking about. Always on time when he comes out to spray. I would recommend Hydrex Pest Control out of all the places in Watsonville (we’ve tried 2 or 3 other companies).

I’m a mom of 3 girls. I had something that no one could «diagnose» that was biting my daughters in the house. After a grueling 3 weeks of trying to figure out what it was, not sleeping at night, just like those bed bug tv shows where everyone gets all paranoid and itchy… Contacted Hydrex. We finally figured it out, and it was rat mites. Thanks to Jason coming over and helping me see what it was under a microscope. But I was now paranoid about the chemicals that pest control people use; and Jason was great. I felt reassured that he knows what he is doing, and that he doesn’t use anything that he wouldn’t use around his own kids. The mites went away and I kept using his services bi-​monthly for the black widows and other spiders around our house… I am very happy with Hydrex and I would recommend them to anyone. I am only sad they aren’t in Nevada where I just moved! haha.

We had a small pest problem in our office in Watsonville so I gave a few companies a call for quotes. In the end Hydrex was the cheapest and the fastest option for taking care of our situation. The technicians name was Ryan and he did a fantastic job. He was very professional and I could tell that he really knew what he was talking about. We will be contacting Hydrex again in the future for any further pest issues.
Thanks Ryan!

This is a review of Hydrex and how they treated for bed bugs. I found their service to be very good, but I have no idea how they are for other forms of pest control.
I waited almost a year to write this view partially because I’m a procrastinator but also because I wanted to confidently say that I no longer have bed bugs, and Hydrex was successfully part of the solution.
I say that Hydrex was only part of the solution because I did a lot of work myself to try to best rid my life of bed bugs. This includes:
— bagging all my personal belongings in giant ziploc bags
— buying a Packtite and heat treating all the bagged items after treatment
— dry cleaning or washing all linens/​clothes on high heat
— utilizing a beg bug-​sniffing dog after treatment to double check
As for Hydrex, the PCO was professional, honest, friendly, flexible with time, understood and explained the chemicals he was using (DE and Phantom) and their safety precautions. They offered treatments beyond the prescribed three in the case in which bed bugs might come back (which can be common) but fortunately did not. The PCO also treated my car for free, which is important because if a car is your main mode of transport, bed bugs were probably in there at some point as well.
For anyone who is concerned about their mattress (I have a weird partial latex mattress with no springs so this was an issue for me), Hydrex does not steam clean mattresses or anything for that matter.
Hydrex also had reasonable prices, which was $ 450 for one room (in a 3 bedroom house, which is probably more advisable to get the entire thing done) but knocked the price down to $ 350 since the room was thoroughly cleaned out. In addition they also did not charge for the initial inspection.
The only criticisms that I’d have about Hydrex come down to the small details. For example, the PCO put on the mattress encasement but then threw away the zip-​ties that are important for securing the zippers. Fortunately I found them and put them on myself. One thing that was useful was that they provided a list of tasks that should be done before treatment, but on the other hand, it did not say anything that should be done or what to expect afterwards. Fortunately consulting a friend who had eliminated bed bugs as well as frantic Internet research paid off so I felt OK about how to reintroduce all my items back into my room.
I would definitely recommend Hydrex as a part of an integrated solution to eliminating bed bugs. If I had to do it again, I would definitely consider them but would do a pre and post-​inspection with the bed bug sniffing dogs from CimexTek.

They were excellent. I used them for a second pest inspection for buying a house. He found numerous problems that the first inspector did not find. He allowed me to follow him and explained in detail all the problems. We ended up staying with the house and will use him to help fix the problems. He helped find potential problems and gave great solutions. Jason, the owner, of this family owned business spent twice as much time as the first inspector checking all areas of the house. Very thorough and honest with his work. A definite sense that he enjoys what he does and has pride in his work. I can’t say enough good stuff about how impressed I was with his work.

Hydrex did a great job on my rental complex. They were efficient, dependable and reasonable in price. Above all that, they are family owned and have been in the business for many years. I am sure I will be using them in the future!
