Unfortunately, the person scheduled to come out and spray had a death in the family, so they had to call and reschedule. In my opinion that is a valid reason, so I would not mark them off for that. The results have been great. It has been 2 weeks since they were there, and I have had no problems with ants in the house. I plan to call them back for a monthly contract. I was very impressed that they did not try to sell me a monthly contract when I called the first time. They said that if I was satisfied with their service, I should call back in about 30 days and sign up for a monthly or semi-monthly plan.
Description of Work: Was having a lot of trouble with ants. They came out and sprayed outside only. It was the first time I had them come out, so they said it was more expensive than subsequent sprayings.

Very well. Called up the company and made an appointment, service rep with fifteen years experience came out within the week. He proceeded to do a very thorough inspection of the attic crawl space including examining nesting areas and droppings. After almost an hour he stated his opinion was that I needed no new control or removal, as there was not evidence of a current active infestation. He did recommend a series of things I could do myself to prevent future infestation, including exclusion (plugging holes) and outdoor baiting. Very straight forward advice from a confident source not interested in taking my money unnecessarily.
Description of Work: Consultation for pest control, in particular rodents in attic.

My experience with Agricultural Pest Control was good. They were very responsive and efficient. Most importantly, they answered all of my questions about tenting a house for termites and were very sensitive to the fact that I had young children. The office staff were always very friendly and courteous on the phone. Agricultural Pest Control also treated another property for fleas and the experience was also very good. They gave me an honest assessment of what needed to be treated which ended up saving me money.

Josh determined that the area we suspected was indeed infested and he gave us an estimate of approx. $350. He indicated that if we got rid of the termites, they would more than likely infest the same area again. He recommended replacing the wood column as an option. The rest of the house was fine. Josh never pressured us at any time. We will be remodeling our home soon, so after the work has been completed, we will definitely call Josh again to come out and conduct another inspection just to make sure the termites haven't found another area to infest.
Description of Work: I was looking for a pest control service to check out a possible termite infestation. Most of the pest control services were charging a substantial fee just for the initial inspection. I found Agricultural Pest Control on Angie's List and inquired about the termite inspection via email. Matt Oliver responded that same day with information (no charge for inspection) and phone number to schedule an appointment. Josh came out a couple of days later and was very professional. He inspected the area (a wood column in our porch area) that we suspected the termites were infesting as well as the entire house, including the attic.

I contacted Agricultural Pest Control Services after observing what I believed were subterranean termites near my house. When the inspector arrived, he informed me that there were no signs of infestation in the structure and therefore no need for me to incur the considerable cost of subterranean treatment for a slab house. He also explained the signs of infestation for future reference. I was very impressed that he did not try to sell me a service I didn't need - despite my questions that clearly indicated I was not familiar with termites and how to deal with them. It showed integrity and because of that, I will contact this company first if I ever do have a termite problem that requires treatment.

They showed up on time and were competent. We did not go with him because our rodent problem was not so bad. The termite estimate was great as well but we did not go with them because we were not completely sure if we had a contract with another company. The price seemed quite high. We decided to go with the company we had used before regardless of whether or not they would do as good a job.
Description of Work: Two people came out, one from rodent removal, and another for termite inspection. We never signed up with them for anything.

Description of Work: They came out at no charge to investigate a bad smell under my house. He couldnt get all the way under but assured me that I wasnt imagining it(what a relief..haha) and that it would go away on its own within a week. He was right.

Josh Allen and Joel came out for an inspection for termites. They were on-time, very friendly, and honest. Josh was expert in his comments and he showed me where a few problems were presenting. These were all outside our home and fixable by means other than a full tenting procedure. He was also very helpful in terms of timing our next house tenting. We do not need to have an extermination done at this time and I really appreciated Joshs integrity and guidance. I will call them for another inspection and will use them when we do need to do preventive work. Very impressed with the two fine, honest young men. Thanks.
Description of Work: Josh Allen and the trainee, Joel, examined the house, the attic, the porch, all the fascia boards, and a structure in our back yard. They advised that no tenting be done at this time.

Outstanding! My ants were gone, but a few stragglers, the first day. I enjoyed working with this company from the first phone call. Receptionist was professional and friendly, technician was knowledgeable and competant and he showed up for the appointment EARLY! I will use this company again.
Description of Work: Sprayed for ants. The technician walked around the property with me to point out the ant nests and trouble areas. Also, showed tree areas needing trimming to keep ants out of the house. Very educational and will be of help in the future.

The representative who did the inspection was on time, did a good inspection job, provided a timely, competitive bid and answered follow-up questions. The problem came when I called the main office to cancel my extermination. Apparently, the message was not relayed.
Description of Work: I scheduled a time for a termite extermination. Ten days before, however, I had to cancel and called the company. They said would cancel the job. However, the day of the scheduled job a termite fumigation crew showed up (luckily I was home to tell them it was cancelled). More annoyingly, SDG&E shut off the gas at the instructions of the termite company. I had to call SDG&E to get the gas turned back on.

The technician from Agricultural Pest Control was polite, prompt, professional, and friendly. He did not try to sell us extra services and, in fact, told us about things we could do ourselves. A very positive experience.
Description of Work: There was an infestation of mice in our house. We tried ''humane'' trapping and caught quite a few, but we never could get rid of them all. Agricultural Pest Control gave the most reasonable bid. They came out and laid traps and then came back numerous times to check on them. They also made suggestions as to how we could make our house more ''mouse proof.''

THE OVERALL EXPERIENCE WAS A GOOD ONE. THE ONLY PROBLEM WE FOUND OUT AFTER THE HOUSE HAD BEEN TENTED AND GASSED WAS THAT THE NEIGHBOR SAID OUR AIR CONDITIONING WAS RUNNING WHILE THE TENT WAS ON. THANKFULLY NOTHING HAPPENED, BUT WOULD HAVE LIKED A CHECK-OFF WITH THE IMPORTANT THINGS BEFORE LEAVING THE HOUSE. THEY MISSED ONE SMALL REPAIR SPOT, BUT CAME BACK OUT WITHOUT ANY PRESSURE AND FIXED IT. THE OFFICE TEAM WERE ESPECIALLY NICE AND HELPFUL.
Description of Work: WE CONTRACTED THIS COMPANY FOR TERMITE FUMIGATION AND ALSO TO DO REPAIRS FROM TERMITE DAMAGE AND DRY ROT. THEY WERE THE BEST BID AND I ALSO LIKED JOSH THE SALESMAN. THE FUMIGATION TEAM WAS VERY CONSIDERATE TAKING CARE WITH THE NEWLY PLANTED LANDSCAPE AND BEING CAREFUL WITH THE ROOF. THE REPAIRS WERE DONE TWO WEEKS LATER AND AGAIN, THE TEAM SENT WERE VERY CONSIDERATE. EVERY CONTACT WITH THIS COMPANY WAS POSITIVE. THEY ADDRESSED EVERY CONCERN.

DAMIAN WAS THE TECHNICIAN AND HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. HE WAS QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT RATS & INSECTS. HE QUICKLY SPOTTED SIGNS OF WHERE THEY WERE HANGING OUT, WHAT THEY WERE EATING, AND HOW THEY GOT INTO THE ROOF. HE THEN SAID MY TRAP LOCATIONS AND BAIT WERE OK, AND SHOWED ME WHERE SCREENS WOULD NEED TO BE PUT TO BLOCK ACCESS. AT THIS POINT I FIGURED HE HAD EARNED HIS FEE, BUT HE SAID THAT PART WAS FREE. SO, I HIRED HIM TO INSTALL THE SCREENS. HE ALSO ZAPPED A COUPLE OF WASP NESTS WHILE HE WAS UP THERE. THE MAIN POINT HERE IS HE COULD HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF MY IGNORANCE AND CHARGED ME WHATEVER HE WANTED, BUT HE DIDN'T.
