Knowledgeable and helpful representative. The work was performed as specified in contract. I will use them again.
Description of Work: Treated the entire exterior perimeter of the house and a few areas inside that showed signs of termite damage. The whole procedure took less than a day. We have not noticed any more smarming after that. We were satisfied with the work.

The service was generally on time. It was as scheduled. The account manager was fairly cooperative. The price was good. However, I wish I would have gotten more detailed communication about the schedule. It was a fair price. I would recommend them in general.

I am very please with this company. I am on a bi monthly plan, they always call the night before coming, they get rid of all my spider webs and spray for bugs. They are always dressed professionally and technician is always very pleasant. Price could be a little cheaper though.

Inspection was performed by Josh, who was on time and knowledgeable. He quoted $1500 for the tenting and $600 for wood repairs and primer plus paint. Paint for matching color had to be supplied by owner. The house was empty so everything was easy, no bags to store food etc.. They completed the tenting in the time specified. The wood repairs were done after the tenting. After the repairs we noticed a corner eave where the two ends didn't meet and the wood was cracked and needed filler. We took photos of the spot and emailed them to Josh. The problem area was repaired the next day. We were satisfied with the end result.
Description of Work: Termite inspection, drywood termite fumigation by tenting and replacement of some wood for dry-rot and termite infestation. Included primer and paint. This is 1500 sqft single story house.

They did well. They need to think more out of the box where they should. There was no roof access for parts of the home so should have tried to contact me and explored with me all kinds of ways to penetrate that area.

The guy that came seems to me very knowledgeable and very professional. I chose to go with another company because Antac Pest Control gave me a quote for termite damage repairs but they said they couldn't give me a quote for termite spot treatment. They said I'll have to do the repairs first to know how much treatment they need to do before they could give me a quote for that. The other company gave me a quote for everything so I rather go with someone that can tell me exactly how much it would cost for the whole job. I would probably have them to give me a quote again, if they give me a complete quote I would definitely use them in the future.

Since we had it was better because every year we do have ant invasion and sometimes we do have tree rats and they helped us with that and also they put rat traps for us. They let you know before they're going to come.

A serviceman came out, identified the ants, sprayed, and used gell. When there were a few ants left after two weeks, I called the company and they returned to repeat the service. Two weeks after that, I found a few ants in my kitchen, so they again returned to do the same service. I was not charged for the two extra services as it was still under warranty.
Description of Work: I had quite an ant problem and called Antac based on their good reviews. They had to come out three times to get rid of the ants, but I was never charged more for the two additional trips. I was very pleased and will use the company again if I have an ant problem.

I contacted Antac and was able to schedule both an exterminator to help with our ant problem and a termite inspection within three days. The customer service was friendly and thorough in explaining their program. The exterminator called before arriving to perform the service to give me an idea of his arrival time. He arrived on time and was friendly and professional. We discovered there were termites in two external areas of our house, and decided to tent it. The termite inspector was friendly and knowledgable. He offered a discount if we made a decision that day. In hindsight, I think we should have taken a few days to do more research. I was told my neighbor paid significantly less (almost half) for the same service. We could have also chosen to look again to see if treating it externally would have taken care of the problem. In conclusion, Antac provides a great service and they have great employees, but we feel we may have rushed into a major project that might not have been necessary.

Easy to schedule, on time, did not make up damage where there was none to get us to do treatment (as the other company evidently did), very nice, highly recommend.
Description of Work: We called to get a second opinion termite inspection on a house we were purchasing because the escrow- required one by another company mentioned some termite damage/evidence that the previous inspector couldn't explain and told us had not been remediated so we were confused about. It was Section 1 damage. We called Antac to ask how much for a second opinion and they said no cost. They came out and inspected the whole house as well as the area where the other inspector said damage was. He took my husband and showed him said area and said that normally when something was found and/or remediated that a white chalk mark was left. The was no chalk mark as well as no sign of previous damage or repair. He then went over with my husband ways to prevent termite infestation, wrote up a preventative report since no damage or evidence was found and went on his way. He was on time and very nice. We don't need the treatment now but Antac will definitely get our business if we do later.

We had an ant infestation in the house. We hired this company to treat areas and were told it may take more than one treatment. The service technician did what he came to do, but was not very communicative. When the ant problem continued, I recall that they came back an retreated as promised (if ants were noticed within a week). The ant problem did not go away. I decided to use another company. That treatment also required more than one application, but the service technician seemed very responsive and more invested in solving the problem.
Description of Work: A service technician applied a gel to certain areas where it seemed ants were coming in, such as under the kitchen and bathroom sinks and edges of outside walls and floors. I wanted to know where the gel was so we would avoid touching those areas. The gel was very hard to see.

I was unable to get a clear answer about whether or not I could get a free estimate for rodent control, but I don't believe they offer that service. I hear mice or rats in between my roof and ceiling. I had to give up because I couldn't seem to clarify my needs with the customer service rep who just gave me a "broken record" response instead of adapting what they could offer to my specific needs.

Response from Antac Pest Control
The customer called January 7, 2013 at around 4:50pm and left a message. Our customer service rep called her back. She said that she had a rodent issue. Service rep told her the same thing that she tells every potential customer with a rodent issue. She explained that the cost is $250 for a 30 day service if she didn't want annual maintenance. She explained that we put traps on the inside, bait stations on the outside and we give a quote for any exclusion work at the time of the first visit which includes the following: Whole-home inspection to find any damage and give a quote for repairs to keep rodents out. The customer was adamant that she only had rodents in the wall. There were no rodents actually running around in the house. Service rep told her that we wouldn’t be able to look in walls because we would have to break the walls open, but that we can do the exclusion quote to see if there is damage to the wallallowing rodents to enter. She told service rep that she didn’t understand what she would be paying for if we couldn’t look inside the walls (where she believed the problem was). Rep tried to explain the service further by explaining what we do over the course of the 30 days but rep couldn’t even get to that because she would keep interrupting the service rep. Service rep was not being argumentative with her at all; she just listened as she was demeaning our rep. Rep asked as many questions as she could to try to understand what she was trying to get Antac to do. WE DO DEAL WITH RODENTS. We don't however carry X-Ray glasses to see through walls. Our rodent control system has proven to be a very effective alternative to the X-ray glasses. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to get rid of the rascals crawling in your home. I'm hopeful that x-ray glasses will become available to pest control companies in the future so that we will be worthy of a higher rating from the customer.

My original problem is that I had an issue with what I was charged compared to what was offered on Angies list... I called several times to get the issue corrected and they told me there was nothing they would do about it. The guys that came out were good, my problem is with their admin staff. After several calls to try and get them to fix the billing issue, months later someone did try to call me, but I was at the end of my contract and not interested in working with the company any longer. That being said, I have a host of bug issues now that the service has stopped.

Response from Antac Pest Control
This review is rather odd. The customer never once expressed dissatisfaction with his service prior to this posting. In fact, our customer service representatives made a follow-up call to him on 12/05/2012 at 3:16 pm to go over the service and expectations and how the service works. The customer has an issue with Pharaoh Ants, which are rather difficult to control without the cooperation of the homeowner. Pharaoh ants have up to 200 queens per colony consisting of around 1,500 ants. The many queens makes the colony perfect for subdividing. Elimination and control are made difficult because multiple colonies can also consolidate into smaller colonies and "weather the storm" of a baiting programme only to repopulate when baiting is withdrawn. COMMUNICATION IS KEY IN CONTROLLING THIS TYPE OF ANT. After the customer made this degrading post on Angie's List, our office, again, made several attempts to communicate with him. He has failed to return our calls. If he has been using any of his own products, such as Raid, glass cleaner, or any other over-the-counter products, his Pharaoh ant issue will turn into a household epidemic. The OTC products will cause the ants to subdivide. Neither Antac, nor ANY COMPANY can do anything to assist a customer that is unwilling to be cooperative and communicate.

We were having very bad ant problems. I got several estimates and was happiest with what Antac offered. They came out and sprayed the first time and we have not had any issues with insects since.

We started using Antac a few months ago to spray for ants and spiders (especially black widows) and they come out every 2 months. The last time they came out which was early October or the end of September and I was having a rat problem in my garage and just happened to mention it to the young man who came to spray. He said he would take care of it at no extra cost. He set large traps in 3 places in my garage and the rat was caught that night! Both young men that have come, have been very professional and polite. Great so far!!
Description of Work: Spray for ants and spiders. The initial treatment required that I leave with my pets for 2-3 hours.

Termite inspection was thorough (including all exterior, interior and attic inspection). The Exterminator explained in detail what he found and recommended only a "spot" treatment on some of our exterior roof overhang. He told us that the remaining of the home, looked well maintained and essentially termite-free. We scheduled the work to be performed and the treatment was quick and professional. The Exterminator patched the damaged exterior and even painted the patch work after he was completed (with paint we supplied). Very happy with all work performed.
Description of Work: Complete terminte inspection and demage repair, along with spot extermination. We also signed up the ongoing monthly pest control services, under a 1-year contract.

We were so pleased of their workmanship--did a great job.
Description of Work: Called us day before when they will arrive to do tent fumigation. They made arrangement with the gas company to shut off the gas. Gave us a sheet for preparation, and furnished nylofume bags to bag any food or medicines that are not factory sealed in glass or metal containers. Informed us that it is our responsibility to contact the gas company to turn the gas back on after completion of fumigation.

Please see above. Overall I will keep using Antac and I am grateful that they successfully exterminated the ants.
Description of Work: Ant service- monthly. We had ants in all the bathrooms and all sinks in the house. Another exterminating service had come out 3 times in the preceding month, and had not been successful in ridding the house of ants. Antac got rid of the ants. When I had to call for follow up service, though, they were not as friendly and polite as they initially were over the phone.
