Thrasher Termite & Pest Control We are family owned businesses with offices in Los Gatos/Santa Clara County and in San Diego County. Thrasher Termite & Pest Control, Inc. (Lic. PR5009) was founded in 1979 by Duff and Janet Thrasher with the mission to provide value to its customers, and a fair, stable workplace for its employees.

During its early years, the Thrashers operated the business out of their home, first in Santa Clara and later in Los Gatos. By 1996, the success and growth of the company led to the construction of the company's current Los Gatos headquarters and warehouse. From this facility, the company's territory has grown to encompass residential and business customers throughout Silicon Valley.

Mosquito
Report
Mosquitoes bite, but you already knew that! The threat of West Nile and other mosquito borne diseases could potentially affect everyone in your family, including your pets. Mosquitoes take away enjoyment of your outdoor activities prevent your children from playing comfortably (and safely!) in the yard.
Silverfish
Report
Silverfish are wingless and are silver or brown in color because their bodies are covered with fine scales. They are generally soft bodied, up to 3/4 inch long, flattened from top to bottom, elongated and oval in shape, have three long tail projections and two long antennae. Female silverfish lay eggs continuously after reaching the adult stage and may lay over 100 eggs during her life.
Rats
Report
Rats eat and contaminate food, damage buildings and other property by their gnawing and burrowing, and can spread diseases that affect people and pets. The presence of rats can be detected by droppings or evidence of fresh gnawing. Tracks can be seen in mud and on dusty surfaces. Runways and burrows may be found next to buildings, along fences, and under low vegetation and debris.
Bed Bugs
Report
Bed Bugs are notoriously difficult to get rid of and require specialized training and equipment. In fact, we have an entire website dedicated to bed bugs and bed bug control. Bed bugs are small, elusive, and parasitic insects of the family Cimicidae. They live strictly by feeding on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals.
Termites
Report
Drywood termites and subterranean termites are the two most prevalent species of termites found in California homes-Thrasher Termite & Pest Control uses different termite extermination treatments based on the habits and biology of each termite species. A drywood termite colony lives entirely in the wood. They need no contact with soil and colonize rafters as easily as doorposts.

Thrasher is so professional in every aspect of their business. Chris is our regular technician and is super professional and courteous and kind; he even fixed our hose while there a few weeks back, when other people would have said "can't complete this until your hose is fixed." They text before arriving, email monthly service statements and all billing is automatic. It's a really well ran business with really great people and client service. Highly recommend.

I called Thrasher to come out and inspect for some general insect extermination work and and some pest/rodent advice, Mark Vollenweider came out and sprayed every inch of the house and informed me of what else is included in our plan (interior and exterior extermination) He was extremely knowledgeable and had a very peaceful and calm spirit. Thank you Mark! Keep up the great work!

So Mike did the inspection. He was awesome. And Ali W did our treatment. She was right on time, prompt about the service, explained all that she was doing, and showed me around after the treatment. She also offered suggestions for mitigations against future infestations that are easy to implement. I am super glad they sent her. She was just awesome.

I called Thrasher in late April to schedule my quarterly service for May 19, 2022. On May 16, I called to confirm my service date and all was well. Sometime after that, someone in the Thrasher office changed my scheduled date to May 24 WITHOUT TELLING ME! I discovered it when no technician showed up for my 7-8am window on May 19. I called and spoke to Robin; she was apologetic and was able to send a nearby technician within the hour.

Thank you, Robin! I give the Thrasher office schedulers 2 STARS because they screwed up the schedule, I give Robin 4 STARS for correcting the mistake promptly, and I give Brian McMackin 5 STARS for the sudden route change and for doing an AMAZING job! Brian did a very thorough job of spraying for ants, de-webbing, and refilling my rodent baits. He did EXACTLY what I asked and I was very happy with his service! I will be requesting Brian for my next quarterly service. Thank you so much, Brian!

Pest control services can sometimes be one of those things that you try to ignore using, until it's too late. I can't count how many times I've politely declined door solicitors pitching house perimeter pest treatment services-finally my hubris got the better of me. We purchased our home in 2013, had it tented by the seller and promptly forgot about wood destroying organisms.

They did not forget about us! Fast forward to 2020 and I began seeing a few mud holes coming out of our wall in the living room and promptly ignored them as they seemed to be few visible. Obviously they were the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I mean if I could see those 9 feet up the wall, there was obviously a lot going on behind closed doors/walls. 2022 comes along and out come the subterranean termites with wings, like a horror movie they poured from a few holes into the house one afternoon.

We called up Thrasher and they scheduled us for an inspection- the VP, Garrett came out, did his walkthrough and within a few hours of leaving gave us our options ranging from localized treatment to the complete outside of the house. Garrett was knowledgeable and informative. We went ahead and opted to do the full perimeter and got it scheduled. We were given a window between 12-2pm on a Monday for the technician to show up. Ali rolled up at 12pm right on time and walked around the property with me to discuss what treatment was going to be done, gave us the chemical names, safety recommendations and got to work. Ali was more than professional and provided great information on the process, what to expect and guidance on what the future could hold (as far as potential infestations, wood damage, etc). Ali was clean and neat when working in the house and walking through it with tools and after leaving, no one could be the wiser that treatment work was done if they weren't aware.

But it was and it was done well. 5/5 stars, I will be recommending Ali and Thrasher to my friends and neighbors should they need pest control work. And I swear to never ignore warning signs on infestations again!

Mark has gone above and beyond to help us keep our house free of unwelcome "guests." He is always kind and professional and calls before he arrives. My girls love to run from window to window to wave at him as he makes his rounds, and he plays along, smiling as widely as they do. Grateful for your help and advice, Mark! Services: General pest inspection, Rodent extermination

Awesome company. Used them for termite extermination and I'm glad I did. Everyone from the inspector, to the office staff were excellent. The crew David H. and Rolando S. did an amazing job in 97 degree heat. Couldn't be happier with the work that was done. Services: Termite extermination, Termite inspection

It's not every day that you fall on a company like this. I have reached out to them for a rodent problem, termites, mosquitoes and bee hive issue. Their receptionist are all super helpful and reliable. Easy to schedule and plenty of reminders. All the technicians have been great. Very courteous and professional. Shout out to Josue, Mark and the lady technician for termites. I highly recommend this company. Fantastic customer service

Top notch service! Josue was exceptionally professional and very knowledgeable regarding pests and the 3 levels of treatment we used to combat the situation. Everything was explained, every question answered. He was very respectful of our home. There are not enough stars! Thrasher is my go-to --

Thrasher is an excellent company: they are reliable and professional. Mark is an outstanding technician, always prompt and efficient, and knowledgeable in the ways of rats. Mark is thorough and methodical, and was able to control the situation.

We have used Thrasher on a handful of homes now and we are extremely impressed. I can call or email Claudia and have an inspection set within minutes. They always fit me in their schedule and I get a report same day as the inspection.
