Kilter?s team of experts was very professional and was thorough in giving explanations. They had great attitude when it came to their work and in dealing with their clients. They have done a job well done in preventing termites from entering our home. After seeing muddy tubes outside of our house, I knew that I needed to call them. Thanks to their effective and quick response, I never have to worry about any termite chewing on my home.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that we purchased. It went well. It did the job but we had to have them come back 1-1 1/2 months later to spray again. We haven't had the problem again. They were a good company. We would recommend them. The pricing was fair.

I thought I would be special and didn't listen to the reviews that stated Kilter Pest Control does not know what Angie's List is. It is true. They did not contact me, I finally contacted them via their web site. No response. I called them today and spent 20 minutes on the phone (with long hold times) with Barney who had no idea what to do. He started telling me their pricing in spite of me telling him twice I had the Angie's List deal. Finally he said he would transfer me to someone else and after holding again, it went to their general voicemail. I hung up and give up. Barney never asked my name or anything else. Just started telling me full prices and what a 2 story home would cost. Mine is a single story. They don't want new customers.

[member name removed], Because of your review and customer experience we have changed everything about how our system handles Angie's List and its purchased deals. I personally apologize but thank you very much as it has allowed us to better serve the Angie's List members.

We were having ant infestation problems and used this provider to help. The young man who helped us was polite, professional and responsive. He showed up on time and performed the service. Unfortunately, the pest control spray did not stop the ants at all, so that is the reason for a B grade. (Otherwise it would have easily been an A had the spray been effective. It was a good experience.) This being said, the young man did give us some ant killer gel and I set it aside for a few days, thinking the spray would work. When the ants remained, I tried his gel and it worked fantastically, effectively poisoning the ant colony and killing that area off in about 2-3 days. Subsequently, there were two more infestations within the next week in different areas of the townhome, so I used up the remaining ant gel and 2-3 days each and we are now 99% ant free! In summary, he was a great at customer service, great rep for his company and at least introduced us to an ant control product that we now think is a MUST HAVE for South Orange County ants. Overall, the end justified the means and NO MORE ANTS! :-)

They did fine work regarding the deal. The problem was that they hadn’t recognized that I had paid the deal via Angie’s List so they kept sending me a bill for the treatment. I then sent them a letter and they then stopped sending me a bill.

Angie's List offered a "Big Deal" for pest control service for a reasonable price -- a good way to introduce a company to new customers. I scheduled an appoint at a time that was convenient for the technician so that he could bundle jobs in the same area. When he arrived, he indicated that, contrary to what had been stated in the Big Deal offer, I would be required to sign up for quarterly service, with subsequent services charged at the regular rate. This struck me as bait-and-switch, very unusual for an Angie's List-recommended provider. But, since the technican was ready to proceed and the work needed to bve done, I agreed. The actual work performed that day was fine and the problem was solved. Three months later, I received a robo-call in the late afternoon informing me that another treatment would occur the next day. I was out of town on business in another time zone and could not respond until after office hours. I called to cancel electronically, and thought I had done so -- evidently not. Upon my return, I found a paper at the front door, but the notes on it were illegible. I assmed the technican had come, since he probably bundled mine with other jobs in the area, and merely wanted to show that he had stopped by. A few days later, however, I received a bill for $69. I called the office to inquire about this charge and was told that the technician had in fact treated the house, but only the exterior, I expressed my diispleasure with what seemed a poor business practice, offering less than a day's notice to cancel service irrespecfive of whether it was needed or the interior aceessible. The agent explained that most clients only want exterior treatment and recommended that I actively call the company prior to the time it MIGHT be visiting to schedule an appointment when access to the interior would be possible. This did not seem a reasonable option, as it places the burden on the customer to be proactive to prevent unwanted service. The agent did offer to cancel the contract, and I accepted, but she said that the charges for services rendered were due and payable. She was very pleasant, and I realize the policies are not of her making, but this entire experience left me feeling manipulated and unhappy.

He applied pressure insertion of subteranean termite control tesmidor and sealed all the holes to my satisfaction. Warranty is for a year with moderately priced warranty extensions each year. Contractor quoted yearly inspecions and warranty extension for both subterranean and airborn termintes at $250/year.

Ruben arrived promptly at the appointed time, was very nice, easy to talk to, very polite, and professional.He put "booties" on before coming into my home (to protect my floors).Wife and I were required to vacate the house for two hours after he sprayed inside.He sprayed upstairs, downstairs, in cabinets and outside around the perimeter of foundation. Above, I noted "good quality" instead of "excellent quality" because it have noticed and ant or two still alive in sprayed areas . . . but in fairness . . . that may be the way the product is supposed to work. Soooo, quality may be excellent, but I feel that the quality of the job will not really be known for a couple weeks.

in our case, I am glad I got the second quote. It wasn't the price that I was comparing, but the type of service, the method of investation elimination and the overall responsiveness of the company. I would just make sure to walk the property with the inspector, point out the areas that you feel should be checked, observe theri testing methods and ask lots of questions so you understand what they are doing, the results and what you can expect.
Description of Work: Treated areas of property that showed signs of termite infestation. They were prompt to come out and estimate. I did not go with them immediately and called a second company for a second opinion. They missed a problem area in the anyalis that the second company pointed out. The second company took 3 weeks and 5 phone calls to contact me with their estimate. It was high. I called these guys and told them of the missed area, they agreed to include that in their original quote! They came out as scheduled, where well priced below the second guys quote and were very professional. They did not receive an overall A grade because they missed a spot. That actually was not obvious, but had an important consequence for our structure.

I am so thankful that you had a pleasurable experience, I was a bit concerned by our inspector overlooking the area but because of our extensive warranty covering your entire home there will never be an instance of being double charged due to our mistake. With Kilter , once your under our coverage, where ever they are found we will treat them NO CHARGE.

Description of Work: I use them for pest control services. Every year, we have them treat for fleas and ants. We also get yellow jackets or hornets, and they spray along the roof line for us.

I was very impressed with the knowledge and care both the inspector and the individual performing the treatment displayed and will definitely continue to use them.
Description of Work: A very thorough inspection was performed on 10/24/2011, followed by treatment of termite infected areas with Vikane and Kilfoam on 10/27. This is a much less expensive option than moving out for a tented fumigation. Also, should I see evidence of termite activity within the next year, I simply call Kilter to treat the area at no cost. They will also follow with a new inspection one year from the original inspection at a reduced cost.
