I have made 2 attempts with this provider to find out what they are spraying around my neighbors yard. Today the tech was wide broad casting the poison into the air. I am 40 feet from the area and my eyes were stinging, my throat was sore and I got a headache, that lasted for a couple of hours. The company is not customer helpful and are unfriendly on the phone. This time I sent an email to this office at 11 am today and so far have not received a phone call, or an email. The tech told me last time he was here, what he was spraying was organic, I have my doubts. He wears industrial gloves to spray this concoction around. Disappointing customer service

Quick. efficient, no chemical smells or obvious residue and best of all-no ants.
Description of Work: ANTS! After some landscaping work I started seeing stray visitors indoors. I tried Raiding them but over 2 mos they just got worse. I was at my wits' end when they mounted a military invasion and I was "mopping up" 2-3 times a day, The antman came right away and did his thing in less than an hour. What ever he did, I have seen no ants in a week after engaging them almost daily for weeks. They offered a one time charge or a one year contract. I asked for as natural a solution as possible.

I may not use them again. When I call someone I like when someone answers the phone rather than me leaving a message for someone to call me back. They couldn't get the instructions right on where to send the bill to. It's just simple stuff. I guess they did a fairly decent job with the termite control, but I guess I'm a little picky. I'd give them a pretty good grade, but I probably wouldn't use them again. I noticed the stuff in the grass they didn't put down far enough so the lawn mower would catch them, I noticed stuff like that. They did respond quickly.
Description of Work: Home Team Pros comes every three months and will be back again tomorrow.

I was happy with them in the past but their follow-up was not very good this time. They did the evaluation for pests in general and they signed her up for a bi-monthly spray for ants but they never followed up with the termite inspection. I think their communication has suffered from my previous experience and they didn’t follow up about whether we were satisfied or if there were any other services that we needed.

They collect a fee every 2 months and they come out as many times as needed for pest control. We had ants and we called them. They came out and treated the ants. They came out again when that didn’t work and didn’t charge any extra for that. They are very reliable. They are times when I forgot and locked the gate. So they left a message because they couldn’t get in. They are very regular and their service is always worth. I haven’t had any problems.

I like them because they put tubes in the walls so that they do not have to spray inside of my home they can do all of the servicing from outside. They come out routinely for maintenance. They always leave us a note with suggestions and whatever servicing they did. I like that they offered us an opportunity to pay the entire year in advance with a discount. I thought that was nice. The office always calls a couple days after the servicing to follow up.

They have a guarantee in their contract they seem to always follow. Over the years, we have had problems with sugar ants. They have come and taken care of them before. They told us if we ever have issues with them in the future, they will do an interior spray to help get rid of the ants. They are friendly. When they show up, they ring the doorbell when I'm home to let me know they are here to do the spray. They are very informative about the chemicals and products they use.

All members of HomeTeam Pest Defense showed up as scheduled, performed their work promptly and completely and made sure all areas were left clean and neat. They were friendly and polite at all times and kept me informed of their progress throughout the treatment period.
Description of Work: HomeTeam Defense came out and gave a thorough examination of the areas under my townhome and the perimeter of my unit. Termite infestation was found in one area. A bid was offered with a full explanation of the different types of treatment, what type of treatment was recommended for my property, how long the treatment would last and the follow up and warranty periods. I accepted the bid and treatment was performed several days later.
