I have been struggling and battling with bed bugs for years at my parents home because they are elderly and can't do much on there own. Pied piper came and completly got rid of ebery bug in there home in an amazing 2 weeks. Unbelievable. So frendly and so helpful. They addressed and answered every concern I had. Well worth the price I had to pay.
Description of Work: I had bed bugs at my parents home. On the bed and couches. Some were seen on the walls.

Summer 2015 we put an offer on a house in the Goldenview Park Subdivision. It came back that the house had been treated for carpenter ants in the finished basement. We adjusted our offer and this company gave the selling agent a letter, on letterhead, stating that carpenter ants where not like termites and did not cause damage to homes in Anchorage. We read that letter and walked away and I noted that I would NEVER, EVER use Piped Piper! Carpenter ants are very destructive! I still cannot believe that a pest control company stated that carpenter ants are not destructive to homes!
Description of Work: House had carpenter ants.

Response from Pied Piper Pest Control
Thank you for the review. Seeing that this was 2 years ago, and the previous owner has now passed on, it would be greatly appreciated to read the letter you received. Having known the previous owner, I am quite certain that the letter may not have been read in the correct context. If not, it certainly was not conveyed correctly. When compared to Termites we have always said they are not as destructive to homes since they do not feed on the wood. We would never say with 100% certainty that they are not damaging at all. Please rest assured that we are aware of the destructive nature of carpenter ants and moving forward we will make sure to be more specific and clear in our dealings. Please give the new owner a call, he would love to discuss it with you. Thanks!

I have been able to prevent any bugs from getting into our beds and protected our couch. We saw one bug in December, but that was it. It's impossible to know if we've gotten them all, but if they can't eat they won't reproduce. Since they can go a year without food I can't say they are gone, but they aren't keeping me awake at night waiting to get bit.
Description of Work: I was dealing with bed bugs after bringing them into my home on a specific piece of furniture. Pied Piper helped me protect my beds with traps and mattress covers that are superior to the ones bought in big box stores. They also sold some spray for the affected room and some diatamaceous (sp?) earth to sprinkle around and kill any stragglers. He also helped me put the problem into perspective. My favorite is what the provider did not do. I was emotional upon discovery and he was calm and talked me down. I would have easily spent thousands of dollars to have them come spray my entire home, but he didn't think it was necessary.

Went just fine. I was at home (though didn't need to be) - we chatted about where I had seen some ants - he proceeded to inspect outside of home, spray and left a note as to overall findings.

We found PP on Angie's list. Impressed with their honestly and integrity. We were about to do extensive painting outside and saw lots of a particular insect we'd not seen before. All snow had melted maybe 1-2 weeks prior. Called PP, and rather than wasting their or our time and $, they suggested taking a cellphone photo and sending it. They said the paint fumes would kill what we were seeing, and didn't require treating. We were impressed with interacting with them, and hope this helps someone else.

I have used these services for years. These guys are responsive and will come back if you are not satisfied. But for me, they keep the carpenter ants out of my home, so even though they are not the cheapest, they are worth it.

Response from Pied Piper Pest Control
We try to respond quickly when the client reports an animal caught. It is up to them, however, to watch the traps rather than pay us again and again to do it for them.

Although we were told we had a minor infestation of cockroaches, we had to have 3 treatments over a space of about 2 months. Pied Piper told us they needed to coordinate treatment with adjoining condo units, because if they do just one side then roaches run to adjoining condo. **But we had an unresponsive neighbor. They did not respond to repeated contacts from Condo Association/Pied Piper until after the second treatment. Perhaps after the second wave of roaches from our condo hit them, they finally decided to respond to the condo association to schedule Pied Piper extermination.(smile) So finally P.P. was able to coordinate and treat both adjoining condo units on same day,which resulted in extermination of the cockroaches. When we return to Anchorage condo August 1 we will recheck for roach problem. Last check there were no roaches. smile Note: re price: condo association covers cost of extermination, and provides communication to the affected condo units. It was the unresponsive adjoining condo unit's lack of responsiveness that led to two additional treatments being required along with all the extra prep work. I lowered the overall experience to a B due to the intense preparation required for three treatments which was not the fault of Pied Piper, but due to unresponsive condo neighbors who did not give the okay for treatment of their unit until after our second treatment. P.P. provided excellent communications during the process. Would high recommend Pied Piper.
Description of Work: treated all 3 levels of condo, particularly kitchen cabinets, all closets, bathrooms/cabinets, all rooms for cockroaches. Were were asked to empty all closets and cabinets and cover piles with tarps. also to move living room furniture back from walls for treatment. This required from us lots of very hard labor intensive prep work that had to be repeated three times.

Thank you for your understanding. In a condo setting, working through a manager, communications are often lost. We certainly do our best, but can only do so much.

Overall I would highly recommend Pied Piper!
Description of Work: Called Pied Piper when no Fairbanks based service could respond to Carpenter Ant problem in less than 2 weeks. They responded same day called! Service was professional and courteous. The technician was knowledgeable of Ants and their behavior. The treatment was very effective and problem was solved with no negative effects other than no more carpenter ants!

It was great. Because they are tenants I didn't want to have to take off work and go over and organize it so I called them up and asked them to call my tenants and organize it through them and then call me and tell me what happened and what they were able to find. They did all that and we coordinated a response and they sent me an invoice. They were very easy to work with and I was very happy with them. They are a locally owned small business which I like using. I've used them in the past. I don't use pest control very often so I thought for them going over there and the amount of time they spent the price was very reasonable. I haven't had any complaints since there. They instructed my tenants on some things they could do to keep rodents out of the property such as not leaving the dog food in a paper bag. They were very helpful and they did a very good job. I was very pleased. I would use them again; they are my go-to folks for that sort of thing.

In the end, all the important information was given, there is no confusion and I would never consider calling another Exterminator. Pied Piper has it all!
Description of Work: Advice over the phone. It seems everyone there is either a specialist in something special but they all have a general overlapping knowledge. You get the easy questions answered right away, and if it is particularly tough they break out the 'Big Guns', one of the technicians or the owner himself. They practically bend over backward to provide helpful advice. I would recommend them all day long!
