Dustin Pest Control

4.9109 Google reviews

Dustin Pest Control has a Merced office on West Olive Avenue and its web address points to a Merced location page. The site text we could read is only a title referring to the Central Valley, so this write-up draws on its Google listing and reviews, which tag it as a pest control, bird control and lawn care service.

What people praise

  • Customers describe technicians as courteous, informative and on time
  • A customer who uses the company at several properties praises the office staff
  • Reviewers say they were happy with a home spray
  • Technicians take time to address customers' concerns

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer mentioned a one-year contract and a follow-up spray after the first visit, so ask about contract length and re-treatment

How the numbers work

The numbers here come from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is each company’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, compared with other Merced pest control companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of reviews counts for more than a 5.0 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently customers still post reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What affects pest control prices in Merced? (2026)

Pest control pricing in Merced depends on the pest, the size of the home or property, how many visits are needed, and whether you sign a recurring plan. A one-time wasp removal is a different job from year-round service or termite treatment. The reviews we read do not give a reliable price list, so ask for a written quote and the contract terms before booking.

Where these exterminators serve

The offices here are on North State Highway 59, Merced Avenue and West Olive Avenue in Merced, with one based in Atwater. Clark Pest Control’s website names Merced, Atwater and Los Banos. Looking for pest control near me? Each card lists a phone number so you can confirm your address is covered.

What to ask a pest control company

  • Is the quote for a single treatment or a recurring plan, and how long is the contract?
  • Does the price include follow-up visits if the pests return?
  • Which products are used, and are they safe around kids and pets?
  • Can you identify the pest and the entry points before spraying?
  • How quickly can you come out for wasps, rodents or bed bugs?
