Budget Pest Control Inc

During the inspection of my home after I had put an offer on it, termites had been found underneath the home. The former owner of my home hired Budget Pest Control to treat the termites before closing. Big mistake. The treatment came with a 5 year warranty with Budget Pest Control. On January 15, 2019 when the technician Bob Kirchner showed up to do the annual inspection, he only inspected the back of my house and in less than 5 minutes he completed the “termite inspection.” He did not inspect the front of my house nor underneath the house where the termites had been found previously. When he said he was leaving I asked him why he didn’t go under the house nor at the front of the house; he responded by telling me he had seen everything he needed to see. This inferred that he could find any termites by spending 5 minutes walking only around the back of my home I told him that previously termites had been seen under the house. He then stated that he will only inspect under the house if he was asked beforehand and that the only time anyone had asked him to go underneath a house was when the space under the house was as high as his height. How interesting that he stated he was only requested to go underneath a home when it was as high as his height. In my home, the inspector had to go on his hand and knees to inspect under my home while Budget Pest Control did the same thing when they got paid to go under my home to treat the termites. This experience with the technician now makes me wonder whether the company ever properly got rid of my termites. Now I worry the termites are eating away at my home. When I questioned the technicians statement about not ever going underneath a home to inspect for termites, he then stated he couldn’t go under my house because he was in the truck that had different pesticide and it didn’t have what he needed to treat termites nor did he have the clothing and equipment to go under my house. So it appears he never had planned on doing any treatments nor inspecting. He assured me I had no termites (based on his less than 5 minute inspection) and then he left. It appears the company made their money off the treatment but do not have the intention of actually honoring the 5 year warranty which I have in writing. I want a proper termite inspection. I want an inspection around the entire surroundings of the home and underneath the home and I want to be present so I can see the technician working.

We wee thoroughly impressed with the team that came to our home and with the care they took in moving furniture and replacing it, and with the full and complete treatment.

We have been using for five years. They are right there whenever I need them with no extra cost. We have some traps and they come in and get rid of it and they keep checking for termites.

.

They've been very fair. We've used them for 17 years.

I would rate them highly and I would use them again in the future.

I really appreciated her professionalism and her care for my children and pets. She is definitely good at her at her job and was eager to listen to my concerns. I have not noticed any pests since she left.

IT IS SO NICE TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE OUT DOORS WITH OUT THE WORRY OF BUGS. WE ARE SO PLEASED WITH THE JOB THEY DID IN SPRAYING OUR LAWN FOR WEEDS AND PESTS, WE WILL USE THEM AGAIN.

WE DON'T REALLY HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THEM BECAUSE THEY SHOW UP WHEN THEY SAY THEY WILL, GET THE JOB DONE, AND THEN LEAVE. THEIR PRICE IS CHEAP SO WE WILL CONTINUE USING THEM BECAUSE OF THAT AND BECAUSE OF THEIR EXCELLENT SERVICE.

I AM ALWAYS VERY PLEASED WITH THEM. WE DON'T HAVE INSECTS CRAWLING ALL OVER SO I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THEY DO THEIR JOB WELL. I HAVE USED THEIR SERVICES FOR A LONG TIME AND WILL KEEP THEM BECAUSE THEIR PRICE IS SO CHEAP.

MY FAMILY HAS BEEN USING THEM FOR THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. WE HAVE THEM SPRAY INSIDE OUR HOME AND OUTSIDE ON OUR PROPERTY. WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR US.

MY HUSBAND CALLED TO HAVE OUR LAWN SPRAYED. THEY CAME OUT AND EXPLAINED EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE SPRAYING FOR. THEY WERE VERY POLITE AND WORKED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
