My accomplished mission in my business life has been to programmatically approach Pest Control in Urban Southern California households. This business module has allowed me to provide an industry leading guarantee on nearly all household pests. Bed Bugs and Termites have their own special guarantees.
Growing up in the hay day of the newspaper Funnies, Corky developed an appreciation for the artwork and humorous commentary on everyday life the Comics provided. He was given the nickname, Corky, by his grandmother, after the character Corky in the famous Gasoline Alley comic strip. Corky's is continuing the tradition of cartoon humor with cartoons about the world of insects, bugs, and other pests.

So disappointed with the service. Lots. Of tiles were broken especially at the top of the roof. Nobody even checked the damage after removal of tent in spite of complained done to the people who removed the tent.
"Contract says company is not responsible for damage on the roof/ tiles but lots of broken tiles IS NOT acceptable.!!!!!!!Not a good recommendation for this company.

I was a long time customer with Corkys. Had my house rented 4.8 years ago. Selling my home I asked for an inspection as a condition of the sell. Guess what they found over $6500.00 worth of termite damage. I even get monthly basic service and no one gave me a heads up of a potential issue. Contracted with Corkys to do the repair. What a mistake. Horrible experience. They contracted work out or a subcontractor Julz. The guys were so unprofessional, slow and broke my sliding glass door by there negligence. A job that should take 3 days took 8!!! Put me and my neighbors through grinding and pounding

This morning I called and got an appointment for help with an ant invasion. They gave me an appt window of 8-11 am tomorrow and said it would be close to 8 am.
Imagine my surprise when this afternoon around 4pm I received a text telling me someone would be here between 2 and 5pm and if I needed them to come inside (where I had told them the ants were) I should call to schedule an appointment.
This is insane, I called them and the guy who answered was as mystified as I was. He could not explain why my appointment was changed and could not change it back to the morning as they had no slots available

Corkys Pest Control promotes themselves as experts in the removal of gophers. They came out and I showed them
The holes where my Agave succulents used to be. One that was eaten was over 25 years old. They gave me a quote for treatment and then sent some out the next week. I showed the guys the covered holes where something had eating roots and killed the agave. The guy was puzzled because he couldn't find the traditional mounds of dirt of a gopher. So he said he would probe the holes and see if he could find a tunnel. Later he said it isn't gophers it's moles and he has a

Termite Fumigation Disaster using Corky's Pest Control. Our neighbor and I employed Corky's Pest Control to fumigate our attached homes. We were left with over 220 broken roof tiles and a repair cost that exceeded $4,000. That was more than the cost of the fumigation. Our HOA property manager expressed that this was an exceedingly high number of broken tiles for our community. As you can guess, I cannot recommend using Corky's Pest Control.

I have been a long time customer, but no more. The technician shows up in a tee shirt. No coveralls or long sleeves to protect him from the spray. Corky's advertises foggers to fog under manufactured housing. The technician did not have a fogger. The technician never wore a protective mask. He was gone in 10 minutes. And I have security camera videos to back this up. Called to complain and ended up doing a chat with a person who couldn't help me. But got the number of one that could. Well, at 2Pm on a Thursday, she wasn't at her desk. Corky, you had better forget about appearing

I requested each visit they supply a msd of products applied at each visit, Never happened.
We only had outside service which rarely even lasted 10-15 mins.
The ants and spiders were never controlled and not once did the tech go over treatment rendered or areas of concern. More like just a bums rush

Only consistent Thing about Corkys is that there will always be an issue. Whether they even show up, come when you're not here, or even do the work the customer service department will have a way to turn it around on you. Today was the kicker we had a technician come for all of several minutes did a quick spritz if that and left. Called customer service, mentioned we have the technician on camera, and she still found a way to turn it back on me. If you are looking for a reliable service, integrity and good work ethic, go somewhere else. The customer service is the worst I have had to deal

Corkys should NOT even deserve a single star.
Initially contracted for gopher control. On first visit, it was $599 for 30-40 minutes of work. Then $99 each month. It was fine for the next 4 months. Then the fifth month, I was billed $99 on my credit card for a "no-show." But before complaining to Corky's customer service, I check my series of text, and video camera footage to confirm service was performed on the date claimed. NONE.
Tried to cancel service and took five phone calls. Every time you are connected to customer service, you leave a voice mail and your call is never acknowledged

I had a bad gopher problem in my front and back yards and Corky's was very effective at killing them with CO2 gas fogging down in their tunnels.
I had used another company prior who was using subterranean metal traps and it just was not effective enough. I recommend using CO2 gas fogging for pervasive or persistent gopher infestations. I happen to live in San Diego (Clairemont neighborhood) near a canyon.
