I don't think we did much comparison shopping then but they did have a coupon in the phone book. When I contacted them, everybody had the same price so with their coupon, that made them better. It all works well. They were pretty responsive. I don't remember any issues on their punctuality. They were pretty good at explaining how things worked and what to expect. What they did was effective. They took care of the pest control problem. Within a couple of months, we no longer needed their services.
Description of Work: Humboldt Pest Control sprayed for spiders and they put out baits and traps for rats.

no follow through. Bad service. They only sometimes return calls. They lose paperwork. Poorly organized company!
Description of Work: they left bait for a rat problem in my attic. Then dropped the ball, leaving dying rats all over, and the stench was terrible. No follow through!

We have a monthly service with Humboldt Termite. I wish we had more options in town, but we don't. If we did perhaps Humboldt Termite would be a bit more competitive and customer service oriented. We had the same contract for a number of years and it wasn't until I finally got to the manager that found out that we should have had more protection for the size and location of our house. It was also then that I learned that the prices had dropped. Also, they don't offer any discounts to loyal customers. Like I said, I guess they don't have to because there really isn't any competition, but it is a shame because an honest customer focused service provider could attract a lot of loyal customers in this town. Don't use them if you don't have to.
Description of Work: $45/month for bait stations around out house. We have had this service for over 5 years. Also a two year contract and 2 other one time services at rentals.

In general we are pleased with the results of the service but the service itself can be a little shoddy. We never had rodent activity in the house but noticed it in the yard and outbuildings when we purchased the house. We hired them to keep the rodents under control and they have done that. We haven't had any problems since we have had their service and they do come at the same time every month. We also hired them to spray for spiders and we have minimal (if any) spider activity on the outside of the house. That being said, we have had several incidents that have been extremely frustrating. When we first began the service they sprayed for spiders and set up rodent bait stations but didn't sweep down the cobwebs like they said they would in the service contract. We had to call them two times before they came back and did it but they have done it since and it has been over a year since this incident. We have also had general misunderstandings and such but they have been quickly resolved. The worst incident was when a service technician emptied the rodent bait station (droppings and all) into my flower bed. My husband called the manager and they were very responsive and assured us it wouldn't happen again and it hasn't. Overall, I am not displeased with their service and I know their products work but I think they could do a better job ensuring they offer the best quality possible.
Description of Work: We hire them for a monthly pest control service that includes preventive rodent maintenance and spider/ant treatment on an approximately 1200sq ft home.

They are very professional, courteous and quick to respond. They price was pretty competitive and they were actually a little cheaper than other companies I looked at. I will use them again in the future.

Please see above.
Description of Work: I contracted them in 2002 and began paying them $70 a month to get rid of ants and spiders on the outside of my house. The ants were larger than the typical black ones in the pantry. In 2009 I decided to move to every three months of service. In December 2010 I discovered an ant nest in one of my walls. It went from floor to ceiling and there were live ants in the wall. Thousands of them. When I asked them to come and look at them they confirmed that they were ants and left. I called the manager and asked what he was going to do he said that they don't guarentee their work. I am spending over $2,000.00 to repair damage to my wall all the way to my siding. They are taking none of the blame. I would not wish this on anyone. My contractor told me that Humboldt Termite and Pest is a total racket. Now I believe him, but it is too late. DO NOT TRUST THEM. If you can't stand by your work, what do you stand for?! Overall, I have probably paid them $3,000.00. My attorney told me that I would probably spend more paying him then being able to get something from them. Karma is a b**** is all I can say.
