Description of Work: On the phone, the woman quoted me a free inspection and $150 if they remove a dead animal. There was no dead animal (or any animals at all). The guy still tried to charge me $85 just for the visit, saying she misquoted their services on the phone. He then claimed I had a SERIOUS rodent problem under my house, and he would come back later in the week, but I had to pay that $85 plus an undetermined amount upon his return - they couldn't provide a quote for the proposed work. I then had Orkin come out - two different inspectors came over the next week who each said my property was clear of rodents, and no issue at all, that I could just use a little preventative work that I could easily do myself with a few supplies from Home Depot. The Johnny Rat guy was a total scam - were going to charge me who-knows-how-much for a non-existent rat problem - just because I couldn't physically see under the house - they were relying on my blind trust to totally scam me.

Response from Johnny Rat Pest Control Inc
We would like to thank you for considering us and giving us the opportunity to go to your home. We are saddened that you had a bad experience with Johnny Rat Pest Control. We strive to give clients the best service. During our visit the tech went into the crawl space underneath your home where he came across a foam pipe insulation tube that had been chewed on and the particles were found on the floor, signaling that there was rodent activity. Therefore he suggested a full inspection to be done. By our understanding you let the technician know that you would call the office to schedule that appointment with us. Unfortunately we did not hear from you. We would like to apologize for the miscommunication. We are sorry the prices for our services were not relayed correctly. We do not have any kind of intention to scam anyone. We did have personnel change, our new staff member was not familiar with service pricing. Our office did conduct a staff meeting where we reviewed prices so that everyone is aware and we can avoid any miscommunication for future clients. Again we sincerely apologize for any miscommunications on our end. We continuously strive to do our very best. We appreciate your review and we thank you for making us aware of the areas in which our company needs improvement.

Description of Work: Sealed all possible rodent entires with new screens/access doors, set traps under house and in attic and applied a garlic gel around previous entry areas. So far, with two return visits they caught 6 rats from the attic and under the house. I'm sure they will trap any remaining rats since they can't get out now that everything is sealed.

Description of Work: Client was hearing noises in attic and noticed rat droppings in the heater area. Johnny Rat Pest Control was notified and arrived and performed initial inspection. Technician discovered signs of rodent activity, including rodent urine and various entry points in exterior areas of home and structure. Technician noticed tree branches extending close to the rooftop and structure of home. Further investigation showed entry points i.e. gable vents, fasica boards along soffit boards and roof air vents. Technician proposed Step 1: Repaired entry points. Step 2: Applied organic rodent repellants around key areas of home. Step 3: Set rodent traps in attic. Step 4: Follow-up and re-inspection all points of entry to see if any additional activity had occurred. Additional service conducted included (2) two follow-up inspections which was included in price. Client was 100% satisfied with total service performed. Client was very impressed with technician's promptness, professionalism and knowledge, which also included referrals for various other services needed.

Worked out perfectly.
Description of Work: Great quality work. Candelario, John's brother, came out and did a thorough inspection. I had a rat and possum problem in my attic. He sealed off all the possible entry points and then set multiple traps. He was very knowledgeable and gave me suggestions for preventing future problems. The price included 2 follow-up visits, which showed that the problem had been solved. Very happy---rats creep me out.

He not only did set up traps, but also redid the vent screens. I was very pleased with him and would rate him highly. He was knowledgeable and was fair in price. He took care of the problem for me. He came back and checked the traps. He also did the mice and other insect control. I would continue to use him.

They found the source of the problem and took care of that. They also showed us how to prevent it from happening again. The price seemed fair for what they did. They did what they said they would.

Johnny Rat is one of the top companies I have used. They always show up on time and are neatly dressed. They always wore booties to protect the carpets. They explained everything very clearly so I knew what steps were needed to be taken. It can be a creepy thing to deal with rats but I always felt comfortable that it was going to be handled. They cleaned everything up so beautifully and did some extra stuff in the yard as well. When they came back for a final inspection, everything was clear and looking great. The owner is so informed about all pest control and such a pleasure to work with, that I let go our other pest service go and hired him to be our regular maintenance provider. I cannot say enough good things about this company!
Description of Work: They inspected the house, garage, and attic; set traps, removed dead rats, put a "dust" to kills mites, removed all contaminated material in attic due to droppings, removed nest, sealed up all possible entries around entire house and garage, cleaned everything and set bait traps to determine if new pests were getting in.
