In the High Desert, local owner-operators often provide better results than massive national call centers. Main Street Exterminator (widely known by locals as Dixon Pest Control) is the perfect example.
When dealing with harsh Mojave Desert pests like Scorpions, Roof Rats, and nuisance pigeons, you want a technician who actually understands the geography of the Victor Valley. We bypassed the corporate marketing and analyzed raw, verified Google Maps data to see exactly how this local team performs.
What we found was a masterclass in local service and deep wildlife exclusion. If you live in Victorville, Hesperia, or Apple Valley, here is the unfiltered, verifiable truth about what to expect when you hire Main Street Exterminator / Dixon Pest Control.

The Bad: Intermittent Communication Gaps
While the company carries a near-perfect rating, we do not ignore critical data. In our audit, we identified a rare but notable instance where a technician rushed an exterior job and caused billing confusion.
-
“Guy who came did around the outside rather fast did not cover the outside of my fence. I felt he rushed my house… When he was complete he demanded payment stating I have a balance. Then he stated because he did not have the paper flyers to leave that i had to sign his phone with out seeing what i was signing for.” — Sarah Mishoe (2-Star Rating)
