DIY Pest Control Service

Pestie seeks to disrupt the pest control industry by putting the power into the hands of the homeowner through its mail-based, DIY pest control solutions. That means no salesperson knocking at your door or high costs associated with contracts or technicians. The Pestie process is cost-effective and simple:

  1. Pestie delivers a professional-grade pest control kit directly to your door.
  2. You spray the pest control product on the area surrounding your home.
  3. Pestie sends you another kit when it’s time to reapply.

Each Pestie pest contol kit comes with an ergonomic electronic sprayer, pesticide formula, mixing bag, protective gloves, and step-by-step instructions. Pesticide formulas are professional-grade, safe for people and pets, and location-based, meaning that your pest control solution is designed to target the specific pests in the area where you live. 

Pestie’s products are easy to use: Simply combine water and the pesticide concentrate in the application mixing bag and spray around the foundation, windows, door frames, garage doors, and window wells. You can also spray around porches, under decks, inside garages, and in any other cracks or crevices surrounding your home’s exterior.

If you have any issues with your kit or the application process, Pestie has on-call experts who can help.

Affordable Pest Control

Pestie is one of the few pest control companies with completely transparent pricing. Customers have three subscription options, all with free, one-day to two-day shipping:

  • One-time purchase — $49 for a single application
  • Pay as you go — $39 per application; pay when each application ships, get one kit every season
  • Yearly subscription — $136 today; $34 per application with four kits shipped throughout the year

Pestie also has a flexible cancellation policy through which you can cancel your subscription at any time without fee or penalty.

Comprehensive Pest Solutions

Pestie provides tailored pest control solutions for every state in the country to coincide with the specific pests, climate, and regulations of each state. As a result, the company boasts an extensive portfolio of covered pests, including some of the following in all varieties:

  • Spiders
  • Ants
  • Flies
  • Moths
  • Beetles
  • Wasps
  • Bees
  • Cockroaches
  • Worms

Pestie has a solution for nearly any pest problem.

Eco-Friendly Pesticide

When used as directed, Pestie's products are both kid-safe and pet-safe. Products are plant-based and designed to mimic the pest suppressing properties of the chrysanthemum flower. The company’s pest control concentrate uses a micro-encapsulated formula meant to eradicate bugs from the inside, while also withstanding both rain and sunshine for a longer-lasting solution than traditional, non-encapsulated pest control formulas.

Pestie's products are also safe to spray on plants, trees, bushes, and grass — but they should not be applied to vegetables or fruit.

Satisfaction Guarantee

Like many pest control companies, Pestie offers customers a satisfaction guarantee. In the events Pestie customers are not 100 percent satisfied with the results of their treatment, Pestie will do whatever it takes to make things right — and that includes a full refund of all purchased products.

Pestie Reviews

On BestCompany.com, 89 percent of Pestie reviews are 4 or 5 stars. Satisfied customers frequently highlight the following about their experience with the company:

  • Affordable and easy-to-use product
  • Effective pest treatments — many customers indicate that they saw less or no bugs after one or two applications
  • Excellent customer service that replies to questions or concerns almost immediately

In addition to these positive reviews and ratings, it is worth noting that the majority of satisfied Pestie customers and subscribers would recommend the company's services.

While the majority of Pestie reviews are positive, some customers have mentioned shipping delays and issues with having enough formula to spray around their home. However, Pestie customer service is quick to respond to issues or concerns you may have, and appears to work quickly with customers to find solutions.

The Bad

  • No Bed Bug or Termite Control
  • No Additional Services
  • Not NPMA-Affiliated

No Bed Bug of Termite Control

Pestie doesn't offer any pest control solutions for bed bugs or termites, which do typically need to be handled by a technician as they can be far more invasive than other pests.

No Additional Services

As Pestie is a DIY pest control company, it does not provide additional services, such as wildlife control or rodent removal, attic or crawl space inspection and treatment, or lawn and garden care. The company does not offer additional safeguards or repair services in the event of termite damage either.

Not NPMA-Affiliated

Pestie does not appear to be affiliated with the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), a nonprofit that promotes best practices in the pest control industry. While this is not an indictment of the company’s products or policies, certifications from the NPMA — including QualityPro and GreenPro — indicate to customers that the company has implemented the latest standards of both professionalism and the use of truly eco-friendly products respectively.

The Bottom Line

Pestie’s products are cost-effective, tailormade to each region in the nation, and are easy to apply. If you’re looking for pest control solutions, but don’t want to deal with pushy, door-to-door salesmen, or pay for services you didn’t ask for, then Pestie is the right company for you. While Pestie lacks several of the qualities of traditional pest management providers (professional inspections, additional services, etc.), it also lacks many of their drawbacks.

Pestie reviews on BestCompany.com are primarily positive with 89 percent of customers giving the company a 4 or 5 star rating.

Pestie is lying to their customers! When I brought it to their attention and asked for a refund they blocked me. They sent me Temprid Fx! It’s sold on Amazon for $7! Which they advertise as their proprietary blend of chemicals but is not! It’s sold on Amazon! I have purchased it previously from Amazon for $7 but Pestie advertised selling a proprietary blend of chemicals so I ordered their product paying $49 thinking I was receiving a blend of chemicals to kill bugs based off where I live. That’s how they advertise their product. It’s false advertising and a scam! They basically package up something they get cheap off Amazon and re sell it to customers for WAY more! Beware!!

They advertise as they have a special pesticide to kill pests, but they do NOT have. What they sell is BAYER's Temprid FX which can be purchased from Amazon for $7. Do NOT let them deceive you.

Hi Paul! We are so sorry to hear you didn't see results with your treatment :( We have quite a few customers in Washington that find success. It looks like we already spoke a few days ago, but let us know if there is anything else we can do for you.

We are so sorry for the confusion, but it looks like we missed your chat on Monday and sent you an email. It looks like you sent us an email that evening after business hours answering our questions. And then the next afternoon we received another 2 emails requesting we don't send anything at all. If you like, we can reactive your account and get that booster sent. We just thought you changed your mind due to the later emails. Again we are so sorry for any confusion if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out. We are open Monday-Friday 9:00-5:00 mountain time for immediate assistance 👍
