We'd used Burge a handful of times annually, when the ants and spiders took over our home. This year, however, the ant infestation was particularly bad and I couldn't get them to call me back. We've moved on to another company and are pleased with our decision.

We would recommend them. We haven't had ants in 10 years and it's amazing. They are friendly and they come out right away. They use natural products and we don't need to notice them, and it really works. We will definitely continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: We used Burge Pest Control for pest control services. They did the preventive treatment. We haven't had ants in 10 years and they got a circle done around the house for ants. We saw one ant and they came back, and then we never had ants because of them. They did a natural thing that went around the house. It's like a perimeter that blocks ants from coming in.

They were to come out three times, and they came out twice. I was supposed to call them the third time, but they never let me know with any follow up calls. I did not feel like they were as professional as they should of been.
Description of Work: They came out to do an extermination for rats.

See above. So far the experience has been very good!
Description of Work: Steve, the service provider inspected our garage and briefly looked in the attic and determined that he thought we had mice or rats. We had heard noises in the attic for about 2 weeks. This company responded promptly and at the time they said they would. Steve was helpful in describing the habits of mice/rats, seeking a warm place, able to come into the garage or house through small spaces etc. He set bait boxes outside the garage, near the furnace/heater and in the attic. I called back in two weeks per instructions and he came back today to check the bait boxes. The one outside the garage had activity and he said this is what they want to bait them outside the house. The other bait boxes had no activity. So far, so good! I would recommend the company based on my experience, but I'm still not certain what's going on in the attic, although we have not heard any noise recently. They will continue service for 30 days.

I don't think it's worth it. For $45/month, I can kill my own snails. The house has been treated for termites and this is guaranteed for 5 years.They contacted us once prior to a visit and then never again (hence the low mark for professionalism). We did not have the time or energy to nag them about this. Maybe they would have gotten better about contacting us before each visit if I'd nagged them, but that's not my job--I have enough to do. When they service visits happened, the guy would be at the house for maybe 10 minutes. (They never missed leaving me a note to tell me they'd been here!) When I did ask about dealing with possible mice in our roof they didn't want to do it--even though their advertisement says they do deal with rodents. Needless to say, I canceled the contract at the end of the year. Bottom line: don't bother with these people. If I have a problem in the future I will go with another company--one that has a more holistic approach--integrated pest management.
Description of Work: We signed up for their (Clark Pest Control) bi-monthly service when a guy came to the door offering a "special deal" if we would sign up for a year of service. They come every other month and deal with the "crawling pests" you want dealt with. (For us this meant spray exterior woodwork for termites, spray for ants, put out snail killer).They are supposed to contact you before each visit to check on what needs doing besides the usual. They ask if you want to be contacted by phone or email. As new homeowners, this seemed like a good idea.

See above. Nothing so far.
Description of Work: Asked for advice because neighbor complained of termite damage at her house. Was told to allow a national company to conduct search and after their diagnosis available to compare prices with Burge. Seemed fair and honest. Have not gotten around to having examination done, but feel comfortable knowing there would be two sources of remedy if I needed it.

I was amazed at how quickly it was taken care of. I left a message explaining what we needed relatively late on a Friday afternoon. They called me back at 8:30 Monday and the job was done before noon that same day. They also guarantee their work for the year. If the yellow jackets come back in 2009, they'll come back to re-spray free of charge.
Description of Work: We had a yellow jacket nest in our back yard that we needed to get rid of.

We've been fighting ants since we moved in almost five years ago. We finally caved in and called an exterminator, and boy am I glad we did. Burge Pest Control is great. They came on the day I requested, did the job quickly, explained how it worked, and didn't charge an arm and a leg. What impressed me most is that it started to rain lightly right as the exterminator was finishing up, and he explained that the spray needed to dry to work effectively. I thought, "Oh well, you can't control the weather. I'll probably have to call again in a couple weeks." I was pleasantly surprised when I came home the next evening (after a dry day) to find that Burge had resprayed the perimeter of my house without me having to ask. Great customer service! The gross part is that we're finding tons of dead ants everywhere, but that means it's working, and I couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: They sprayed the perimeter of the house and inside in our laundry and storage areas.

Great. Super friendly, very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. I can't imagine anyone being doing a better job than him. He spent quite a while on the phone with me explaining everything involved. Also uses top of the line, environmentally friendly product.
