The good: estimator showed up at appointed time, was very professional in his inspection. Termite fumigators were also very timely.Improvements needed in service delivery:1) single most important prep occupants need to accomplish before fumigation commences is double-bagging all food in special bags designed for protecting food in the presence of the fumigation gas. Antac provided me with 5 pairs of bag, which was so marginal that there were some items I had to put in my car. Although they told me they would be happy to drop off more bags if I needed them, in the end this offer was meaningless. It should be obvious that most people would not start bagging until the night before the fumigation date (because the contents of the bags are then inaccessible), and by the time I realized that I needed at least one more bag pair, it was too late. In fact, I called and left a message that I needed at least one more bag pair, but the crew did not get the message. It is difficult for a customer to estimate how many bags are needed - either the Antac estimator should do a rough estimate, and leave a few extras, or Antac should leave way more than enough. After all, how much do these bags cost in proportion to the cost of the fumigation? 2) I had one house plant which was too heavy for me to move outside, but Antac took care of it. However, when the house was reopened, they did not place the plant back inside. If moving house plants is an optional service with an additional charge, at least they should so inform the owner in the estimate.3) Antac had estimated that the house could be re-entered by 4 PM. However, when I returned home at 3:30 I discovered I could have re-entered at 11:40 AM. I have no issue with giving the latest time in their advance estimate but why couldn't they call and notify the occupant of the exact time the house could be re-entered once they know that time (on the day of re-opening)? I would use Antac again, but only with the assumption that they would provide more than an adequate number of bags, and that on the day of completion they would notify me when I could re-enter.

We were impressed by the presentation and professionalism of Jake, the company spokesman who came to inspect our property and give the estimate. We decided on a date, and the men arrived early that morning. They were respectful of the surrounding plants and shrubs ( we had followed Jake's recommendation to pull trellises and vines away from the house perimeter.) Our house has a deck, and the garage has an attached open roof and patio and these were covered carefully. They taped and clipped the tarps carefully over an attached fence which could not be removed. All in all, they did a great job. Tarps were removed early on the finish date, and air blown through the house sufficiently that we could inhabit later that day.
Description of Work: Whole house and detached garage were fumigated for termites. Antac even separately tarped and fumigated a tiny "cottage" at the back of our property for no additional cost.

We have a year long contract with them. They do the job and do it right. They come and go unnoticed because they have to spray on a semi regular basis so they never have to come inside. I will use them again in the future.

Our inspector was prompt and thorough. He took time to explain all our options and the entire process. The team in the office was helpful and provided us with good reference material so we could ensure we were well-prepared. The technicians were polite and efficient. I couldn't believe how quickly the tent covered our house!
Description of Work: Everyone that we worked with at Antac was very professional and responsive. They made the entire process relatively painless. No one looks forward to having their house tented, however, everything went very smoothly, thanks to the folks at Antac. They answered all our questions and managed our expectations very well.

The job was very efficiently done. Repairs of the woodwork took about 6 full days; the tenting and fumigation, beginning to end, took about three days. Antac carried out the contract exactly as agreed. use.
Description of Work: Three level home was tented and fumigated for termites. Before tenting: All exterior wood affected by wood rot or termites was carefully replaced or repaired and repainted by Dennis M. Costello (760-8031706) who specializes in the repair of exterior woodwork. Check all replacement wood to make sure that it is free of termites even if it is newly purchased. Costello also is a sub contractor for some exterminators, but you will probably get a better price if you deal with him directly. Always discuss exactly how the tenting is to be done in landscaped areas to minimize damage to plants which can be devastated by the gas. Be sure to trim back landscaping that is too close to the house. The companu I used before this one destroyed many mature, valuable plants.

They are extremely friendly, courteous and prompt. They cleaned the house and removed all the mice and rats, before we came. They were extremely thorough and if the problem persists, they’ll come back and keep treating, until the problem goes for no charge. I will use them in future.

WOW. I thought I'd live with ants for the rest of my life. Made a phone call, Sabrina (office person) described in detail their services. Very nice, very professional, answered all my questions, suggested options, described pricing plans, explained what would occur next, when and with who. Brady came out promptly at the scheduled date and time. Also very nice, personable, very professional. Again I went through my litany of questions and concerns. Very calm, answered all my questions. He explained about the ants, lives, reasons they do what they do (besides just to exist to annoy me), and what would happen after he sprayed. He sprayed the entire area around the house, foundation, and many plant infestations. He stayed away from my food garden area without me asking. He put special killer bait in key places inside the house. We immediately signed up for a year, every other month, program. My neighbors pay a little less for a different company, but we were just so pleased with the service and quality of work, we didn't care. Best of all?? TOTAL ANNIHILATION OF ANTS IN THE HOUSE!!
Description of Work: Sprayed the entire property, indoors and out for ants. Evaluated the property and extent of ant problem. Explained what would happen next. Sprayed the entire outside and put special poison inside the house.

Our experience with Antac was excellent. When the technician came to the door we discussed the problem then I showed him through the house, indicating where black widows were found, and took him outside, also showing him where we had found spiders. He was polite and answered all of my questions. He started outside and sprayed around the perimeter of the house then the walled fence and the eaves. Then proceeded to the garage. I was impressed with the kindness and politeness of the worker and the care; he put on special shoe covers when he entered the house and proceeded to spray the whole interior of the house including all closets and under furniture.
Description of Work: This was a one time spraying for black widow spiders with a guarantee to come back within 30 days if any more seen. The square footage of the house was 3500. They sprayed inside the house, in closets, under furniture and in the garage. They sprayed outside around the foundation of the house, the eaves and even spraying walls in the bacyard where they found spider webs, not close to the house.

They were very professional. I haven’t used them yet. They drew a careful and accurate graph of all the places where there was termite damage. Then they gave me an estimate. The estimate was high because it included something else. The company that I am with now said that I didn’t need one. What I have learnt is that there is a game. If they do see the termites, then it would mean sending their men out for free and they are trying to cut back on labor. However, if you are selling termite insurance, then suddenly your place is riddled with termites. So, that’s the game and I am looking for a third opinion. My overall experience with Antac was high because I haven’t proved them wrong. I may have termites. I called them back and I told them that I called the state board because I had a different opinion from another company. The state board wanted both of these men to come to the house at the same time and come to an agreement, but the guy from Antac said that he wouldn’t do that because he stood by his word. He said that the state board should have someone come out. So far, Antac has been excellent because there has been nothing to the contrary, but I haven’t used them for the actual work. Their professionalism was perfect too.

The representative showed up right on schedule and discussed with us what kinds of problems we were having. I told him it was mainly ants but I mentioned snails too so he not only sprayed for the ants but put out bait for the snails. Even though we were mainly concerned with the ants, the spray he used is effective for numerous other insects and pests. He was very careful not to spray near my vegetable garden or fruit trees.We are happy with the services and haven't seen an ant, inside our outside, since.
Description of Work: We were having a major ant problem so after calling several companies listed in Angies list, we called Antac and made the appointment. Their prices are in line with other companies and they offer the same kind of contract services. Instead of bi monthly services, we chose the $300 service which includes as many repeat calls as we need for a year. The one time service was $169, I think.

Josh thoroughly inspected the house inside and out. He recommended that the house be tented. The work was scheduled several weeks in advance. Antac subs the tenting to San Diego Fume Works, as do several other pest control companies. Josh found several items that I had not thought to remove from the house. There was time to do that. The tent was put on, and that night a huge Santa Ana hit, and the tenting came loose during the night. We contacted Antac, someone from Fume Works came out, and the tent was removed. Fume Works returned a day later to retent, and we were back in the house in two and a half days. I don't fault Fume Works or Antac for the Santa Ana!! I do think, however, that both companies check the weather when fulfilling a tenting contract and either postpone the tenting when huge winds are forecast or put extra care into the tenting.
Description of Work: We had dry wood termites, and the house needed to be tented.

We have an area with termite feces and kick out holes, so we know they're in the window sill. We can't afford and don't want a major tenting because of our dogs and plants. All we wanted is a small treatment. I would have gone with this company because their phone people are so nice (Isabelle) and they were very quick to find a time slot for initial inspection...however, their minimum charge is $450. That's way above what I consider reasonable based on past experience in another home and for what the scope of the work is. It would be helpful if Angie's list posted minimum costs for these kinds of services so we list users would know before we called a highly-rated provider. If A.L. can't or won't list minimums, then it would be extremely helpful if the business made that information available up front.

This is a property that we used to live in and now rent out. We want it to be in good condition. I was out at the property and noticed some gopher mounds. We had an animal control company that we used regularly, but he threw his back out and have not been able to help (and unfortunately could not refer anyone). I called Antac and since we had a regular service, they were able to offer a $35 monthly service and treat the area that had activity. They will walk the property every month to ensure no other gopher activity. They will also call the tenant a day ahead as a reminder.
Description of Work: Gopher control service was on a rental property. I am an out of town landlord, so the ability to understand the problem, be responsive, and be courteous to the tenant was very important to me. They were all three. I now have them on an ongoing annual service plan for gopher control.

The scheduler worked hard to find a service tech that could come out that morning. She was able to have the tech out within the hour! He arrived on time, was infomrative, professional got right to work. When talking to the scheduler she told me about their service plan options. i typically shy away from these plans, but this company was so helpful and professional that I decided to go ahead an sign up for a bi-monthly service plan. I have other family with service plans and after sharing our experiences I was even happier with my choice. These guys are awesome!

Called the company, receptionist was friendly and able to work with our schedule for the initial visit. First time out to our home they treated the inside as well as the outisde. Now they come once every other month and leave an invoice on the door if we are not home. I can call the business an pay over the phone following the treatment. Very happy with the service.
