Found most bugs out. Some re-appeared sooner than expected- that's why Quality = B. This is 4 times a year service - 2 out, 2 to go. Hired them independently to plug, treat and replace the insulation in the attic for a rat problem. They did a good job on that, especially the price was 2/3rd of competitors.

I chose this company because they use natural pesticides. When I called to set up the appointment for the deal I purchased, I was told I could not use the natural pesticides for this deal. This restriction is not mentioned on the deal page. I am unwilling to use chemical pesticides or pay additional money so I need a refund.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review; we greatly appreciate your input. We apologize for any misunderstandings. The Deal Details to the special you purchased does not offer organic/natural pesticides. Surf City Pest Control does use natural pesticides when requested per our clients for an additional one time fee. Again, I am sorry for any misunderstandings with the purchase you made. I reviewed your acct. and noticed that you purchased back in October I hope this was not an inconvenience for you. If you have any questions or concerns, Please do not hesitate to call our office. We are here to serve you. Thank you, Gaby Rios

Very well. We had a very bad problem at first, and the ants came back about a month after the initial treatment. Surf City came back to re-treat the house at no cost. The re-treat finished the ants off. They said they had a guarantee, they meant it and they stood by it.

Excellent. On time, professional, pleasant. I've never had such a positive experience before. Very pleased :)
Description of Work: Treatment for subterranean termites around the perimeter of the house and in my kitchen. Also treated inside my attic and detached garage. The exterminator also found an ant hill just outside the house and could see where they were entering the house. He took care of the ants and spackled over the opening where they were entering. He also sprayed for ants inside the house as well (not included in the initial estimate but he did not charge).

I am EXTREEMLY pleased with this company! Evidently what they do works. Since I purchased this home in approx. 1986 I have had "the great American cockroach" and they scare me to death! I get up for work @ 4am, prime bug time. Since Surf City came I have not seen one, NOT ONE!! Wellllll, I've seen a dead one, and that just recently. I would recommend this company to anyone and everyone that has a "critter" issue. Their receptionist is excellent, their servicers are qualified and friendly, and their work is spot-on.
Description of Work: First I spoke several times w/their receptionist. She was VERY pleasant, even tho I didn't understand much and had to change my work date a few times. When the provider came out, he was right on time...something I appreciate very much. I had several questions and he answered them to my satisfaction, was quite willing to take the time to answer them, actually. Again, I truly appreciated that. I was instructed (prior) that I had to leave the house for a certain amount of time. The tech. got my cell # in order to buzz me to say when the 2hr. "don't go home" limit started. He did so and that made it easy. He was on time, he was great with answering questions that I had, he notified me of the amount of time I should stay away. From the results, I can only conclude that he did his job well, also.

It went great, the fumigator was very knowledgeable and he answered all my questions thoroughly. He was polite and very business like. He was very fast but meticulous and once done he took his time answering other questions that I thought about as he was rolling up the fumigation hose and getting ready to leave. He told me every do and don't when it came to the length of time to stay out of the house and what to do and not to do when we were back in. Finally, when I insisted on giving him a tip he refused multiple times and said he would rather I give the company a good review because to him that was more important. I thought that was saying something about that employee and that company!!! I waited five weeks to write this review because our ant problem was so bad I was afraid to jinx myself and the minute I wrote the review those darn ants would come back!!! They told me to give it at least two weeks and I saw some ants before the two weeks was done which they told me would be normal. Thankfully, by the beginning of the third week the ants were completely gone!!! It was almost like my residency was considered a house of death for them. That is a title I don't mind my house having!!! They give a one month guarantee and they do follow-up spraying to ensure that those ants never come back again and I am going to take them up on that offer because the poison will not last forever and I do not want to see any more ants. Thank you Surf City for a wonderful experience, Charles

I purchased the quarterly pest control package. They would not give me the Angie's List deal because I wanted the eco-friendly version (I have small kids). They quoted me one price and billed me $20 more, no explanation. The staff was friendly but the service as poor. They did not clean up the spider webs. Also the eco-friendly version does not work well at all.

Thank you for your review. Sorry you were not 100 % happy. But when you purchase a service through Angie's list , We give you what you are purchasing.The special on Angie's List is not organic. The additional $ 20.00 was because you purchased an organic special through us. The organic does cost more. But you have the convenience of not having to vacate. I also read that not all spider webs were cleaned up, We only clean up what is accessible with our long brush.If we missed them and they are accessible I would like the opportunity to fix this. I do apologize. I do not want you feeling that you did not get 100 % from us. Please call me at your convenience. I want to make sure that you are taken care of. Gaby Rios Surf City Pest Control

They were very professional. Calls got returned right away. Tech showed up on time and gave us a 30 minute call prior to arriving. We had to exit the home and take with us 3 dogs and 1 cat and the tech was very patient with us, since trying to load up that many pets on a car is tricky. He explained where the spray was going to be placed and asked us what areas we wanted more attention. Since there was a 30 day guarantee, we had to call again cause ants kept coming back. They came back and re applied treatment and we are now free of an ant infestation. Thank you Surf City.
Description of Work: We hired Surf City because we were having an ant infestation. We chose to buy the year package because we priced service for individual treatments and it was a much better deal. We will get a pest treatment every quarter.

I had poor luck with a couple of other companies. Surf City was very well-rated and nearby, so I decided to go with them. I'm very happy I did! It was a great experience from start to finish. The staff in the office whenever I called seemed very focused on customer service and efficiency. Nathan was the technician. He was more than prompt, arriving an hour early, which was nice for me. He checked everything out, and even gave a discount for being a member with Angie's List. He also checked and treated my attic, for which he gave me a great deal. He was very professional, and his workmanship was impeccable. I even had to call him back to make sure he had done something, as the last company that treated my cabinet had visibly done something. I was impressed by the low-profile of his work on my beautiful, custom cabinet. I asked about their annual maintenance plan, and am definitely considering signing up! A+!

I initially called because I had a problem with ants. Surf City came the first time. I noticed a reduction in bugs but not the ant. I called and told them that the ant problem was not abated. They told me that it was part of their guarantee and that they would come out again. It took a couple of weeks between when I called and when we were scheduled. By the time they came, I hadn't seen any ants. I guess it took awhile for the spray to have its effect on the ants. They re-sprayed the select area that I requested. I have three more treatments as part of quarterly treatments. This service may become permanent for me.
Description of Work: They used some kind of spray around the exterior and interior of the house to eliminate crawling pests.

The visit went very well. We had just purchased this home, and it had been overrun with ants and things in the back yard. We also noticed a nest of ants in the front yard. The technician investigated the nest, looked them up in his book and told me that if the solution he brought as part of my deal would eradicate those ants, then he would take care of it at no extra cost. He was very efficient with his time and I appreciated his professionalism and courtesy.
Description of Work: They sprayed the entire perimeter of our property, including a trouble spot in the front and all of the back yard. They also sprayed the entire perimeter inside of our house.

Hello, I'm sad to see you gave us a "C" grade. We really try hard to make sure that our clients are happy and satisfied with the treatment and services. I was reviewing your account, your treatment was done on 9-8-14. Today is 9-15-14. We always ask that the client wait 10 to 12 days for the chemical to do it's job. The treatment does not work over night. The pests will go through the chemical and die off. It's like taking medication, you have to wait for it to work. I'm confident that you will see the results you are looking for. Please don't hesitate to call our office. I would like the opportunity to show you that we deserve an "A".
