Thank you for your review. Sorry for the delayed response. I have relied on Angie's List to send me email alerts whenever someone leaves a review and it looks like the last two reviews from customers I never got the alert for me to respond.....anyway, thank you for taking the time to write a review. Even when they are short and sweet you still have to volunteer your time out of your day to log in and do it and it is much apreciated. Bret Holland President @ Gecko Pest and Landscaping

Not sure how much the inspection cost, as the bill went to escrow. The inspector was very thorough, knowledgeable, & personable. Very prompt with the report & told us exactly what we needed to do to correct a deficiency (no termites, but evidence of water damage).

We noticed the evidence of the infestation of the termites over a month ago but were going to leave on vacation. We called Gecko for an estimate. They sent someone promptly. They said the work could wait as the infestaion had not advanced to where they had formed a feeding tube. There were several. When we got back we called again and they arranged a date to come within a few days. We did call one other company, but this was the best arrangement for us and least expensive. We are happy with the terms. The exterminator, Manny, was friendly, prompt, did his work professionally and left everything clean.
Description of Work: Treated house foundation (outside) for termites (Subterranean Termite Liquid Barrier Treatment). Small holes were drilled in the porches and trenches dug around the house. All were filled in neatly.

They were great. They came in the morning and didn't leave until that night. They did a very thorough search of the home. They also put in a thermador all around the house. They cleaned up very well after themselves, you couldn't tell they drilled into the concrete.

home inspection, pest control

We wanted to buy a Tucson home and ordered a termite inspection by a company of our choosing even though the seller's company had done some spot treatment for subterranean termites. Bret, the Gecko inspector, found where the termites were entering this home. Two previous termite companies missed these areas, and the home was only spot treated. The sellers agreed to pay Bret's company, Gecko, for full treatment with five-year contract at a price less than the seller's previous company charged. We picked the right company!
Description of Work: $798. was paid by the seller for full exterior perimiter, crawl space, and crack in Arizona room termite treatment of sub-slab injection/trench/rod soil. Includes five-year contract to inspect annually along with a warranty.

Bret told me what they would do and Adam did an excellent job.
Description of Work: Bret cam out and did a complete inspection. I am an engineer so I wanted more technical details than most and Bret happily provided them. I contracted for their service and Adam came to do the termite control application. I am very impressed with their professionalism and work. I liked the fact that Adam does almost all of their pesticide application since he obviously knew what he was doing. I would heartily recommend them to anyone needing termite control. Their prices are about as cheap as anyone.

Great! I contacted Gecko for this service on approx 2/2, and they came out on 2/3. The worker assessed our trees in the back patio and didn't see any problems pests. He even got out his ladder and climbed up on the roof for a better view of the 2 palms. He checked out likely spots on top of our house for bees, but honestly said he didn't see anything we needed to treat. The worker gave us his business card and wrote on there that no work was required, signed the card and included his certificate number. Best of all, he refused to take payment for just looking at a potential problem.

Bret Holland, the president of the company, performed a thorough inspection of the home and emailed me a proposal that same day. His price was better than I had paid for the service five years before and better than another bid I had obtained. I scanned and sent back the contract and arranged a convenient time for the service. On the appointed day Bret arrived on schedule with his technician Adam. We had installed a vinyl delivery system under the brick patios that allowed the chemical to be placed without drilling through the bricks. Bret was not familiar with the system, but with the documentation I provided he customized a fitting that allowed him to measure and deliver the chemical at the required pressure. He and Adam worked out the delivery requirements. Adam worked for two days. He was very thorough and completely professional in his work. In addition he was a pleasant and easy person to deal with. He restored the river rock and gravel after he completed that phase of the work; he was very methodical in the use of the delivery system under the brick patios; and he very carefully did the drilling (and clean up) to allow access to the interior plumbing. We really could not be more pleased with his work. Bret lived up to every expectation regarding his performance. We recommend Gecko Pest Management without reservation.
Description of Work: Subterranean termite treatment of home with Termidor with a five year warranty (extended to six years with the Angie's List coupon). The work included 1) moving back river rock and gravel, trenching the exterior perimeter of the house, and applying the chemical, 2) applying the chemical in an existing vinyl delivery system under the front and back brick patios, and 3) carefully drilling to obtain access to all interior plumbing junctions with the concrete slab and applying chemical at those junctions.

Mr. Mark arrived on time. He sprayed inside the house and in the garage. He then did the outside area and when he was done, he checked the drains and the house.
Description of Work: Gecko Pest Mgmt did regular spraying for bugs inside and outside the house. Mr. Mark was the person who came over at our place. He put stuff in the drains to prevent bugs and checked for any openings that might cause an issue. The cost of the service was $30.00 per month.

Friday afternoon I got a call informing me that because my home is a manufactured home, they had no technician that could fit under it if treatment was needed so would not be doing the inspection. This is a local company. Given that the area I live in is 99 percent manufactured and mobile home, it is very disappointing that I cleared time for an inspection from a company that didn't bother to ask what kind of structure was being inspected at the time the appointment was made. From everything I have read this is a very good company, but am not very happy that they wasted my time unnecessarily UPDATE: Bret called me and personally apologized for the misunderstanding, for which I am very appreciative. Thank you.
Description of Work: Made an appointment for termite inspection on home and garage on Monday for Friday afternoon. No inspection performed. The owner did call back after my review here and personally apologized for the mistake. That alone would make me try them again in the future.

Response from Gecko Pest Management
We are very embarrassed about this. We have an answering service answer our calls when our own office person is on the other line so our clients don't get a machine and they did not ask important qualifying questions. Further, we should have caught this ourselves sooner than the day of the appointment. We no longer take on new service accounts for treating under homes with a crawl space underneath like a manufactured home or any single family residence with a crawl area underneath due the hazards involved. We refer that work out to another company. I especially do not like my time wasted either and I understand this members frustration and disappointment. I also like this open forum of Angie's List and accept the bad report with the good ones. It helps make Gecko Pest Management a better company by honest reporting that makes us want to achieve a hire standard of customer care. We are vulnerable to making a mistake as does any business. I hope this public apology is evidence that we care and we wish to make things right. I have personally taken the steps to contact this member and apologies personally. Bret Holland President Gecko Pest Management.

The inspection, estimate, and treatment were done very professionally. Gecko pointed out that long term treatment using chlordane was probably applied during construction of the house in Tucson in 1977, so that further treatment of the main portion of the house was probably unnecessary. The Gecko warranty still includes the main portion of the house for one year. Competing companies would have treated the entire house, resulting in higher cost and greater environmental impact.
Description of Work: Termite control applied to attached garage area. This consisted of applying Thermidor to soil external to the garage and through holes drilled into the concrete floor of the garage. The holes were patched so that they are barely visible.
