Our Customers Say It Best

At Mares Exterminating, customer satisfaction is our top priority. We take pride in providing reliable, effective pest control services to homeowners and businesses in Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, and Virginia Beach. Our team is committed to delivering top-quality service, and we love hearing from our valued customers about their experiences.

We have been working with Mares for over a decade to keep the ants out of the house. They've done a great job with the monthly contract. But they just recently went above and beyond. We had a fruit fly invasion in our house. They were able to remove all the fruit flies within a couple of days using their special traps. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING MY HOUSE LIVABLE AGAIN. WE ARE CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE.

- Ross E.

I just realized that we've never given a proper thanks to Bruce of Mares. We've requested that he be our sole technician because of his professionalism, prompt arrival, and pleasant demeanor while servicing our home. We hope he remains with Mares for many more years and continues to give us the comfort of knowing the job has been done right. Thank you, Bruce and Mares, for being our Number One pest control for all these years.

I have been using Mares Exterminating for a couple of years and it has been a great experience. Our technician, Jeremy, is amazing! He is patient with our excitable lab and nosy toddler while being fast and efficient. I can't recommend them enough especially if you are in the Virginia Beach area!

This is an honest business. I had them come out to look at a concern I had with crawl space moisture along with termite inspection. They gave me recommendations that were reasonable and saved me money. I highly recommend this company for any pest or moisture issues.

- Elizabeth P.

Excellent local pest control company. Responsive and reliable. Highly recommend!

- Bennett C.

Have been a long termite contract holder and recently had a rodent issue. Mares went above and beyond to make sure my issue was resolved and we were satisfied with pest control. I have referred several friends and family because it's hard to find trustworthy people!

- Bart D.

Always on time. Always get the work done right the first time. And the price is always as quoted. We use them for exterminating and moisture control and have never had a complaint.

- Opal A.

Received very helpful clear information from the most personable and knowledgeable termite inspection. Excellent service!

- Lynn S. 

Vince is one of the best technicians I've ever had!

- Tracy R.

We've had Mares as our service provider since we moved to the area in November 2020, and Jesse has been our technician the entire time. Mares provides great quarterly service while consistently being responsive.

Our tech, Jesse, is the face of the organization, in my opinion. He's polite, friendly, and completely reliable. He's always either on time or a few minutes early & together, we've all but eliminated the hated palmetto bugs from our home! This is a particular triumph for me because, coming from Baltimore, I've never before had to contend with these awful creatures. Thank you, Jesse!!

- Lynn T.

I have used Mares for a few years. They are very efficient, professional, and helpful. When I've had emergency issues, Mares remedied them quickly for me. I am very thankful and pleased.

- Dorothy M.

Mike, like all of the techs whom we have interacted with, was very professional and polite and took time to answer our questions. For the ground bees, his inspection indicated no need for treatment, and so he was very upfront and honest about that, which saved us a lot of money. For the roach extermination part of the visit, he worked with our special requests and did a great job. The roaches are not a problem now. We have interacted with Mares three or four times and have had this same level of service. We would highly recommend them to anyone for crawl space moisture issues and inspections, as well as various types of extermination.

- Eric R.

Jesse was very friendly and very informative about the situation with my condenser under the house. I was very pleased with his service.

- Patty W.

I have a contract with Mares, so every 3 months they come out and do service for maintenance. Sweep cobwebs, apply insect granules around the house, check bait stations, etc. I have Chris do my servicing & he is tops!!! Very thorough & keeps me informed & gives me peace of mind!! Highly recommend Mares, entire staff & workers are awesome!

Great job, Jeremy. Efficient work. Great attitude and above all, friendly and professional. Jeremy checked out the whole townhouse and presented his findings. Explained the process and the monthly or quarterly service and charges. Jeremy set up the billing and payment for this inspection and first service. Thank you.

- Haroon M.

Chris with Mares arrived on time and was friendly, as usual. He has treated our house for springtime ants for the last 4 or 5 years, and it works great; they are always gone in a few days. He also does our annual termite inspection.

- Janine P.

Drew was a first-time technician to our home but was confident enough to greet me with that fact and smart enough to ask about locations of bait stations, as we have an old property with a complicated and large layout. After my tour, he got to work, and I appreciate that he took the webs down around the eaves

- Kathy S.

He was wonderful! I think it was way worse than even I expected! So glad I chose Mares, and Chris did a great job-did not rush and cleaned everything! Everyone, use them!!!
