Neil, the owner, honored the warranty on work that was paid for by the sellers of the house my wife and I purchased just over a year ago at which time a wooden overhang by the side of the house was treated to remove carpenter bees. Technically, Neil could have refused, making the point that it was a problem recently created by a new bee. Neil is extremely knowledgeable and gave us much advice on our situation. He said there could be a nest close by in a rotting tree so we'll be on the lookout.....The technician, Kevin, went above and beyond to thoroughly assess the situation, spray the hole with 2 chemical agents and plug it up and then spray the eaves to keep away other insects. He was also very eager to answer all questions we had about this and other issues relating to the woodlands area where we live. I would highly recommend Neil and Kevin for the outstanding job they did. Thanks!

Neil Thornhill was so pleasant to deal with as well professional and knowledgeable. He communicated with me before and during the entire process. He informed me of what preparation I had to do prior to tenting. And, his price was absolutely fair! Juvenal and his team handled the tenting process. He was such a gentleman, professional, trustworthy, and also kept me informed of the process. There was absolutely no damage to the exterior of my home or plants with the tenting process. I highly recommend Evans Pest Control!

I wouldn?t recommend this company. 1) Comments by 2 other service providers on the positioning of rat traps by the front of the crawl space entrance was that it was lazy and took no time at all, 2) The technician was supposed to call back but couldn?t be reached for weeks, 3) There was misunderstanding with the office about scheduling the latest appointment, 4) The office receptionist was asking me questions which would have been quickly answered by pulling my file, 5) The owner, Neil, though knowledgeable, could not handle the complaints and opted not to confront them, 6) The monthly maintenance charge was to be $68, higher than other highly-rated pest control companies. Overall, a disappointing experience. Although it is on Angie?s List, we didn?t find it there. It was recommended to us by a friend. There are other pest-control companies on Angie?s List with many more A-rated reviews, easier to do business with and at less cost. We just contracted with one of them.
Description of Work: Looked for areas where insects could enter the house and sealed 2 areas. Sprayed Bifenthrin around the outside of the house for ants and spiders. Set rat traps in the crawl space.

I called and Neil was very helpful. He gave a quote over the phone, they came within a few days (based on my availability). He said that the bugs were likely coming in from outside, and suggested some methods to seal up the house, and natural orange oil that I could spray to deter them. They came and did the job, and did not pressure me to have continuing service. Their quote was 1/3! of the price of other companies I called, and they did not pressure me/use scare tactics to have bi-monthly treatments. Since this is the first time we had found more than one roach in the house, I was pleased to just have them come in and do a single treatment. We haven't had any issues since then. Overall they were very courteous, punctual, and they did a thorough job. They even offered to do our detatched garage at no additional charge, which I thought was very nice of them. We declined, as our cats were hiding out in there, until we had the all clear for the house.

I heard a rodent thrashing around in my attic early this morning. I figured it was caught in a trap I set about a year and half ago. I'd been meaning to call a pest control company to inspect my house anyway, so I called Evans Pest Control. I talked to Neil Thornhill who was very professional and responsive. He said he'd have a sevice guy come out the same day. Three hours later, Kevin called me and said he'd meet me at my house. He promptly removed the rat from my attic, did a full exterior house inspection, and filled a small hole in an exterior house vent screen. He was courteous, friendly and very professional. Nice jiob!

They came out and did a decent job. But I had to get someone else in to do the right job. They recommended that company to me. I had a problem with bees. So they came and killed them with chemicals. I am a first time home owner. I didn’t know what was going on. The chemicals just killed what was there. But they didn’t open up the roof, go in and take out the beehive. All the bees came back. They do the bee killing but they don’t do the full removal. So they had to recommend somebody else to come out. They did the entire bee removal, took the entire beehive out, captured and released the bees. They did everything. They were nice and good. I would not call them again. They were nice and professional. If their business included beehive removal and capture and release, they would get a lot more repeat business. I would then recommend them. They just sprayed chemical and it was dead bees all around. If they did capture and release, it would be more of a natural thing to do. I would say overall they didn’t do what I wanted them to do. Their follow up was good. They did get me a refund because they had to get someone else coming out. Overall they were good. I wish they did a different thing but may be that is not their business plan. So I can't judge them for that. I had to pay someone else. If I had known that other person first, I would have just paid him. So I ended up paying double. They came on time and they called me which I liked.

Scott came out to our home and found evidence of termites and recommended some minimal injection-style termite fumigation. We also found some pretty significant dry rot damage to several eaves of our house. He recommended that we replace the eaves. A few days later I received the estimate and then a few days after that we started the work. Scott always arrived on time and answered all my questions and addressed my concerns. His carpenter was late which caused the work to be delayed, but at least Scott was around and obviously frustrated as well. Once the work got underway, I was pleased with how it proceeded. All the repairs look great and the work is of the highest quality. There is no way anyone would even notice that large chunks of the eaves have been replaced. Everything looks seamless. Also, the sub-floor repair was done to my satisfaction. In addition, I have started using Evans for my quarterly pest control. They always show up without issue and the stuff they spray really works. We had big bug issues before they started coming and now I hardly see any pests on our property. Great company.
Description of Work: We had a couple different issues that Evans Pest Control dealt with. We had evidence of termites which they diagnosed and then treated with termiticide. We also had dry rot damage on several eaves of our house which they tore down and then replaced. Finally they repaired water damage on our subfloor created by a leaking toilet.

They were excellent, and their prices were reasonable. They weren’t very good at communicating. They did the work, but they didn’t call me to let me know that they had done the work; that is the only complaint I have. I had used them before, about two years ago, and I liked them. I would use them again in the future if necessary.

My apologies to the member but: The member set the time and day at noon on 5/4/11. Our tech arrived 5/4/11 12:05. Technicians notes on file indicate a price and type of work were determined at time of inspection with the member at home. The member states that we did not follow through with a call to price, but he certainly had our phone number to follow-up with us. We certainly dont want to waster our clients time or ours as is seen in other clients comments. Thank you Neil Thornhill Evans Pest Control

They came out, serviced my garage and outside areas with some stuff- I'm not even going to try to remember what is in it- it smelled a lot like spearmint, though. They come monthly now, and I haven't seen a bug in the house since they started.
Description of Work: Evan's is great. I use them for pest control for my three bosses, and out of the blue one day finally thought to ask them if they offered green pest control, as I do not like to use pesticide near my house because of my dogs. They have an extensive set of options for green pest control that really work! Give them a try, you won't be sorry.

When the inspector (Fredo) checked my house, he was very thorough, spending a long time carefully inspecting and pointing out evidence of termite presence, and at the same time, asking questions that might help explain the damage. I felt great trust and confidence in his judgment and advice. He was articulate, clear, and specific in explaining each spot of termite evidence he noticed. He asked to check areas that I didn't previously think I had termite damage, and indeed, I saw clear evidence of the damage, even some termites, which I previously would not have recognized as such. All responsibilities on both our parts were clearly explained. Workers were careful, courteous, and very professional. When the work was finished, everything was as clean as they found it.

The estimate was straight forward and a fair price for the work completed. Neil answered all of my questions and addressed concerns to satisfaction. The job took about 4 days and went smoothly. The workers cleaned up each day and were very professional. They did a great job and did not have to be supervised. There were no complaints from the tenants or owners while the work was in progress.
Description of Work: Replace trellis wood support beams and some fence caps in the entry way of a 10 unit town home complex. Evan's workers and contractor Fredo replaced 90% of the wood structure in this area which serves as the entry, portico, and mailbox/reception area. The wood was deteriorating due to plain old wood rot and termite damage. the work was completed with a nice finish and a wood stain paint to a restored like new condtion.

They charge me for a quarterly service. During my last conversation they were supposed to get back to me to spray in October. They have not called me yet. The company was run by 2 brothers earlier and they sold the company. I stayed back with them though I was frustrated a couple of times. I wanted to be here when they came once and they came when I was not here. Once I was unhappy as the service was due and I wanted them to re spray. They did a complete re spray and wanted to charge me for the whole service. It was just a touch up. The quality of work they do is good though.
Description of Work: I have been using Evans Extermination for pest controlling for a long time. The last time they came out was in May. Since I have done some yard work now, I have not called them yet. They spray outside when they come.

I spoke to Neil about the services and scheduled an appointment to estimate periodic maintenance for the common areas on a 10 unit townhome complex. Scott Coffman came by to give me an estimate and discuss the details of the work. Also mentioned two unit owners with ant problems. Neil was very honest about all of the treatment options available for ants, bugs, and termites. Bottom line, Evans Pest Control set up appointments with the two owners and treated the interior for ants. The exterior was also treated for general pests and bugs. Everyone at Evan's was very professional and handled the jobs with a minimum of problems. A++. I am going to schedule a termite inspection and treatment later this month, since I had a great experience so far. I will keep the list readers posted on how this goes.

Start: Neil came out for a free inspection of the property. Determination of problem area and how to treat it. Contract signed. Scott and Edgar came on time on the appointed day of the spraying. Two hours later they left. They drilled holes in the wood floor and put Termador into the sub area. They were professional, fast, and I was very pleased. Wonderful surprise ending: When I received the bill for $775, I was given the option of paying within ten days to receive $100 off my bill. A nice ending to a job I had put off way too long.
