“This company has been fantastic! There are less ants and spiders and bugs & if ever there is a increase they come out asap and address it. We are not throwing out food because the ants are gone! They keep us informed and that gives a sense of caring for their customers and their professionalism is top tier. Thank you 101 Exterminators!”

“These guys are really good and very kind. They send an email a few days prior to scheduled visit and, since I have a dog to keep in the house while they work, they call the night before as well.”

About Our Business
Why Reviews Matter to Us
101 Exterminators Inc. has been a family-run business since 2005. We built our reputation one service call at a time — in Salinas, Monterey, Hollister, and the dozens of communities across our four-county service area. Every review we receive is a direct reflection of the technicians who show up at your door.
When a homeowner in Watsonville reads a review from a neighbor in Santa Cruz before calling us, that review carries real weight. It’s the digital version of a word-of-mouth recommendation — the same kind that has kept this business growing for more than two decades without relying on gimmicks or pressure tactics.
We’re proud of our 5-star average across platforms. We earn it by doing the work right the first time, being transparent about what we find, and standing behind every treatment we perform. If a pest covered by your service comes back, so do we.
