Trevor did a great job getting our home ready for the Fall/early winter season. He asked questions, gave us great advice and proceeded to do all the necessary services. Thanks Trevor for a job well done.

They came so quickly for same day service when I requested it!! They were super kind, did a great job explaining everything and implemented permanent solutions so that we should never have an issue again. Super appreciative of their services - they went above and beyond! I kept their card so that I can call them again in the future. Highly recommend!

We called Rainbow to begin ongoing insect maintenance as well as deal with carpenter ants we’ve seen inside our home. Our pestologist Dave was friendly, informative, and thorough. I especially appreciated that he gave me time to review the contract while he went around applying the treatment. I feel like all my questions were answered and he attempted to provide good treatment coverage while avoiding my fruits and veggies that are growing. I signed up for their insect protection plan and am happy to have them as my pest control service provider.

We have a protection plan with regular service and have been extremely pleased with everything. Recently had the mouse protection service done and Dave did a great job.

Dave our pestologist, took the time to explain Rainbow Pest Service to our home. Since we started with Rainbow pest, we do not see the carpenter ants anymore! I know if I have any question or concerns, that they will either come back out to our house and or answer them over the phone. Very personalized service.

I called them on a Tuesday and they set me up with an appointment on Thursday. Was very pleased that they were able to fit me in. Phillip McNeal was the rep that came an he was 30 min early which was great! He did a very thorough inspection of the interior/exterior of the house an found spots that I didn’t even know about. He put out 12 bait boxes and even managed to get me a follow up appointment to plug all points of entry this coming Monday! Great customer service and very thorough! HIGHLY recommend!! Found them on google and saw good reviews and thought I would give them a try...very glad I did! I Highly recommend this company.

I use Rainbow Pest Experts quarterly service and couldn't be happier with my experience. Dave took the time to discuss the issues (mainly yellow jackets) and how he would take care of the problem. I have found Rainbow Pest Experts to be very knowledgable and courteous---top notch customer service!

Mike is extremely educated in this field. He was able to answer all of our questions with ease. He was mindful of the current pandemic, very thorough and walked us through the process. We live in a townhome seven and will be talking to our neighbors, friends and family. Would highly recommend!!!

I have had Rainbow Pest Experts take care of my pest issues for over 7 years. When I moved into my home, I noticed a lot of mouse droppings. Rainbow came over and sealed all possible openings in my foundation and set bait traps in the basement. I have had NO problems since. Several times a year they make sure all the openings are still closed off and take care of any new ones. I also have them spray regularly for centipedes and spiders. I can't say enough about how professional and knowledgeable Rainbow's technicians are and the efficiency with which they do their jobs.

Rainbow Pest Experts came to my house and I was so very happy with the service. Phillip McNeal was so very knowledgeable and nice I felt like I’ve know him for a long time. He was very professional and knew exactly what to do. Excellent, excellent service!!

We started using Rainbow Pest Experts in December 2016. They did an inspection of our property before we moved in and noted some mice activity. Dave took care of us and was great! He knew that I was anxious about the whole idea of having mice and he reassured me that he would take care of it. Every time I call Rainbow with a concern, they set up a time to come out as soon as possible. And my concerns are just that, my concerns because the issue has been resolved. We will continue to have a contract with them to make sure the issue remains resolved. They are honest, trustworthy and professional. I would give them 10 stars if I could! Especially Dave!

Rainbow Pest responded immediately to our aggressive hornet's nest. They eliminated the problem the same day in a professional manner. When I left a message, my phone call was returned promptly by an extremely friendly and helpful representative. They were very competitve on pricing as well, so I will call them for my tree trimming in the fall.

Called them on a Thursday to remove a wasp nest by our front door, and they were able to come get it the following Monday. They were professional and courteous, and seemed to do an effective job.

Rainbow has been keeping our house, deck and dock pest-free for years. Today, Dave Groves, (who is funny and SO personable) also took care of our second floor balcony - a space the Rainbow techs can't usually access. The products that they use are not noticeable in any way - no odor, not sticky, nothing. We love Rainbow!!

David is awesome! He took the time to explain to me about yellow jackets.

Dave G from Rainbow Pest Experts was very knowledgable and thorough during the mouse prevention service at my home. He took the time explain everything he was doing and answered all of my questions (I had many questions!). I would highly recommend Rainbow Pest Experts due to the excellent service from Dave G!

Natalie S.

02:35 10 Jul 19

Service requested was to eliminate an ant problem at our office. The service was scheduled promptly and the technician was on time and very friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly, the problem ants seem to have been taken care of. Thank you!

Rainbow PestExperts has been taking care of my home for over 4 years and it has been a WONDERFUL company to work with! Not only are they thorough and take care of any pests quickly and safely but they are so incredibly nice. I would not expect to have a pest control company become one of my favorite home care companies ever but they seriously are! They really care about my home, my pet and keeping our family comfortable! I lost my husband 5 years ago and they came out to my house multiple times to seal up my home, etc. and one guy even helped fix my garage door just to be nice. They are truly super cool and genuinely care about getting rid of any critters or crawlers and thank god because I definitely don't like doing it!

Jennifer M.

16:20 20 Nov 19

We had a bit of a mouse problem. Sam came out and assessed what needed to be done. He was very clear and patient with explaining the process and answering any questions. He successfully baited for the existing problem, then he and Tavaris came back out later and sealed up the house to prevent any future issues.

Clint K.

14:45 04 Jan 20

Dave Groves is the reason I love Rainbow Pest, He is absolutely excellent!October 15, 2018: How lucky am I to have my pestologist be Dave Groves who takes such good care of our house so that mice are NOT hanging out here! He is the only pestologist that I will let into the house. Thanks, Dave!

Barbara T.

21:11 15 Oct 18

Dave was awesome! Explained and answered every question I had, I learned all about the process as he performed an inspection, baiting, and sealing.He did a wonderful job and I really enjoyed working with him, I felt that he really cared on doing the job right and making sure I had the info I needed going forward. Very genuine.~ 5 months so far and no issues, and everything is holding up great through the winter.Very glad I gave them a try, highly recommend.

Rainbow Pest Experts, Dave and Steve, sealed up our home today and set up traps. Their knowledge and use of proper materials is giving me great confidence. Their explanation and knowledge of knowing about pests and getting rid of them is A+. The cost of an initial or annual plan is worth it! Thanks Rainbow!

Donna D.

17:41 12 Jul 18

After using 2 other pest control companies with no lasting results for our mouse issues, I called Rainbow Pest. Dave spent several hours at our house sealing up entry points, installing bait stations, etc. It has been well over a year, and we have had no mice since that day. Amazing company; highly recommend!

Jenny B.

17:38 10 Apr 18

Rainbow Pest just did an inspection of our house today for mice and Dave was very complete both inside and out...even in below zero weather! We are very pleased with Rainbow Tree and Rainbow Pest.

I've been very happy with Rainbow Pest. From the people answering phones when I need to schedule a service to the people who come out to my house for service - everyone is super nice & easy to "work with". Dave has been to our house more than other pest experts & I like that because Dave knows what's going on from visit to visit. I like the consistency of having the same pest expert come to my house. Dave is great! Very friendly & great communication!

Ann J.

Rainbow Pests Experts is great-have had them for years. Dave Groves just completed another visit-he is knowledgable, punctual, and pleasant. I plan to continue services only with this company.

Matt and Tavaras from Rainbow Pest Experts stopped by this afternoon, and I was thoroughly impressed with their knowledge, friendliness, and expediency. They clearly know what they are talking about and answered the many questions I had. I highly recommend Rainbow Pest Experts to anyone looking to control any unwanted pests!

Blaine W.

20:10 24 Apr 17

They do fantastic work for many different pest concerns for our home, for all seasons. They even think of things I wouldn’t have thought about that cater specifically to our family and our home. They are comprehensive, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend for any pest control needs in the Cities!

Jeanette S.

20:06 28 May 19

Dave has always been extremely thorough, professional, and friendly. I have always been notified about upcoming service visits, even if they're just doing the outside. After their first inside service never had any more problems. I consider them very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

Pamela C.

00:00 14 Feb 20

I had David come out and do a full house inspection, bait, and seal up. My overall experience with Rainbow from initial phone call to follow up emails after the service was provided was first rate. I especially appreciated the time David took to explain everything and let me know what to look for and what he was going to do to correct problem areas.

Jacob W.

17:58 02 Aug 17

We're very happy with the service we get from Rainbow Pest Control. We are on the annual plan and they are very responsive to any service needed in between regularly scheduled checks. This spring we saw ant hills in paver sidewalk. We called and Dave came out a couple days later - problem solved!!

I can not say enough good things about the level of service I received from Dave Groves. He was professional, knowledgeable, did a great job communicating... Really appreciate all that he did.

Mark J.

04:32 02 Jun 18

Rainbow Pest Experts and James (the technician working for me) have been excellent to work with as our home badly needed a bait-and-seal for mice and other pests. Given I was late to the appointment at my own house and wasn't prepared, I would have fully expected any technician to show frustration. James did the opposite and was helpful & engaging. Our family will definitely use Rainbow again and highly recommend this local, employee-owned company. As for James, Rainbow has a high-quality employee on their staff. It's always great to work with people who represent their company extremely well. Thanks, Rainbow and co.!

Dave G came out to my house to take care of some mice issues. He was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and answered all of our questions. About one month after his initial visit, mice activity has noticeably abated. We then had him seal the exterior to prevent future mice incursions. I highly recommend Dave and the whole company.

Jenny B.

16:03 28 Aug 17

Rainbow Pest Experts- These people are amazing. They are kind, professional, and get the job done right. I would definitely reccomend their services and use them again. They did an amazing job of clearing out the pests from my parents house.

We couldn't be more satisfied. And we had mice. Lots of mice. But the guys from Rainbow figured out where they lived, how they accessed the house...and they made a plan. It took a few weeks of baits and sealing holes and inspecting again, but now we don't have mice. AND we learned a lot from the technician, about how mice think and react which helps us ensure they won't return. They were very thorough during the first inspection, then notified us well in advance before they returned, and gave us a detailed description of what they did each time they returned. All in all, the process took just under a month, which they had estimated it would. Hard to imagine better service during a stressful time in owning a home.

After years of battling mice I decided to choose the nuclear full frontal attack option and contacted Rainbow Pest Experts. They are excellent at what they do. We live in an 80 year old "dollhouse" with lots of nooks and crannies and they apparently managed to find and fill every mouse entry point as we have not had a single sign of a mouse since their visit. They examined the interior and exterior sealing every possibility with a special caulk that cures even in freezing temps. They also implemented hardware cloth and a battalion of poison bait stations with mind blowing sensational results!!! I highly recommend!!!

Very conscientious "pestologists" who enthusiastically explain why they are providing various treatments and recommendations.

Jamie W.

14:42 07 Sep 18

In working with Rainbow Pest Experts, I found their customer service friendly, their crew professional and their quality higher than I had expected. The team came in to do their jobs swiftly and explained the short and long term plan to eradicate the issue. Moreover, pests are gone! I highly recommend using Rainbow. 🌈

Great Service and great people. I work in the Tree Care side of Rainbow and attest to the integrity and professionalism of these experts.

Dave and Alex sealed many gaps in our foundation that mice were invading. I already had the bait traps for the past month: they were eaten! I am hopeful that the mouse population will stay outside/die. Cute in children's books, not my cupboards!

Margot R.

19:40 03 Oct 19

Dave is awesome! He's always on time, super friendly and extremely diligent with our mosquito applications. The treatment is ridiculously effective on minimizing the mosquitoes in our backyard. I would highly recommend Rainbow Pest Experts for their mosquito application and I have also used them for box elder bug application which was highly effective as well!

K R.

18:17 09 Jul 19

Dave Groves has been our technician from Rainbow Pest Experts for several years. He is always pleasant, knowledgeable, and quick to help when we've had a problem. It's been good working with him and he makes our problems go away!

Steve P.

13:36 15 Sep 18

Wonderful, kind and helpful! My mouse experience was traumatizing and they put me at ease and helped to seal my home and set bait stations. I really appreciate everyone that I spoke and worked with from the people answering questions on the phone to who came out to my house! Thank you!

Great service! My wife said she would divorce me if I ever cancelled Rainbow Pest. She doesn’t miss the mice but would miss the fast and friendly service.

Tree removal was fast, clean, and staff is very friendly. Reggie the Stump Whisperer!

17:42 05 Jan 18

No one else would do what it would take to get rid of our mouse issue. Rainbow was so thorough and worked hard to get into every nook and cranny and all the way under a large low deck to finally find the point of entry! Don’t waste your money with anyone else.

Katie P.

03:12 11 Jun 18

We want to especially recognize the expertise and services provided by Rainbow technician Philip M. We had an especially difficult problem with mice entering the house from outside through an access point almost impossible to get to and close off. However, Philip spent considerable time and follow-up sealing off the access and we have not had a problem since. He has been very thorough on return routine care visits and would recommend him to anyone experiencing a particularly difficult problem.

Ron M.

21:50 20 Mar 20

We did a lot of research on pest control companies in the Twin Cities area, and I truly believe they provide a superior service compared to their competitors. We had a rocky start with a late notice cancellation by the company for our first appointment and our technician being over an hour late for our second appointment. However on our third appointment, they were on time, friendly and efficient. And most importantly, we aren't seeing anymore centipedes in our basement. We signed a year-long contract with them and I hope the service continues to stay on time.

Becky F.

02:45 10 Oct 17

Rainbow is great! I use them both personally and also I refer them out in my real estate business. They are on time they’re honest and they really get the job done .

19:27 21 Sep 18

We have used Rainbow Pest Experts for the last few years for wasps in the spring and Asian beetles in the fall. Dave G. has always done a great job and we can't say enough good about him and Rainbow Pest Experts!

Larry A.

15:34 06 Jun 18

We needed pest control quickly during a construction project and Jordan came the following day. He was polite, kind and clean , explained services clearly without pressure, and worked quickly and throughly. My friend also uses rainbow and referred us.

Cindy C.

14:21 01 Sep 17

Dave spent half a day at my home sealing up every nook and cranny to keep the mice out, and his work comes with a warranty! I couldn't imagine higher quality service or a nicer person. Here's a photo from inside my garage.

Deanna B.

17:22 22 Oct 19

Dave G from Rainbow came out to address an issue with some wasps/yellow jackets nesting in a gap in a retaining wall in my backyard. Dave was a real nice guy and answered all my questions. The yellow jackets were gone a couple days later and there has been no activity since. I would not hesitate to call Rainbow again in the future.

Dan P.

14:12 28 Aug 19

Exceptional service! They always respond promptly to any service requests for our office buildings from crawling or flying insects to mice. They have always taken care of any issues and have helped with maintaining a preventative plan with quarterly site visits/inspections. We strongly recommend Rainbow Pest Experts for any pest related issues.

LNR P.

16:16 12 Jul 18

I have been working with Rainbow Pest Experts for more than 6 years and have always been pleased with their work. I also find them to be reasonable on services needed and amicable to be customer focused.

23:24 19 Jul 18

I highly recommend Rainbow Pest Experts. We inherited a mouse problem at our new home. Rainbow did a thorough inspection and sealed up the exterior with foam/cement/wire as needed to prevent the mice from getting in. They set bait boxes in the house to take care of the mice within. Our front porch was not accessible to check for holes, so they recommended we remove a few boards in order to inspect and seal up any problems. They did not charge extra to come back out when our contractor removed the boards. In fact, since we are on their year-round plan, they come back any time we need them outside of our regular service. They also put a preventative for Asian Lady Beetles and Box Elder bugs and well as the regularly seen insects. Rainbow Pest Experts treats the outside so effectively for bugs, that I don't have them spray the inside of the house because I don't need it. I really trust this company. We also have their lawn and tree services and have had wonderful experiences with those services as well.

Caroline W.

20:52 08 Jun 18

I went with Rainbow Pest based on a recommendation from my home inspector when I moved to my house in 2016. The spider population decreased significantly. The following season I decided to try another company (that rhymes with Inspite) because they serviced other houses in the area and had a neighborhood discount, and then I could also get a discounted packaged Mosquito mitigation deal... Needless to say, I wasn't happy with either program. The next spring I called Rainbow back and they got the job done. Spiders & Centipedes rarely make an appearance in my home now, again. You truly get what you pay for!

John G.

22:41 19 Jul 18

This has been a great experience from the moment I picked up the phone to schedule a consultation. We bought a home on a pond and wanted to make sure we didn't have mice. Dave came out and spent well over an hour with me going over my concerns. He was very patient and thorough explaining my options and answering all of my questions. When they came back to seal up the house they left no stone unturned! I can sleep easy knowing that the mice won't be joining me this winter! Very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend them and intend to refer them to all of my clients, friends, and family!

Misty D.

14:18 18 Aug 19

Our experience with Rainbow has been fantastic! Jillian handled my initial call in an extremely professional manner. She was straightforward on the pricing of services and immediately understood my need to schedule someone as quickly as possible. James came out the next day and was very thorough in his inspection and explanation of the next steps. We felt confident in his expertise and contracted for Stage 1 that day. Even better, the cost of services was exactly what I had been told on the phone. Based on this interaction, we definitely recommend Rainbow.

Leslie Davis N.

22:45 06 Feb 20

Amazing folks, they helped me over the phone and gave me great advice. I would recomend anyone who has a question about pests!

charles R.

20:15 03 Jan 18

I was so happy with the service I received today. Trevor was knowledgeable, polite and efficient. I read reviews of other companies, and checked the BBB (Rainbow has an A+ rating) before deciding to go with Rainbow. I'm glad I did!
