SWANSON PEST CONTROL

unknown

On January 2nd I woke to a kitchen full of ants, it felt like I was in a sci-fi film. I called several pest control companies who wouldn't provide any services without my landlord's written consent. Unfortunately he was away for the holidays. Finally I called Mr. Swanson hoping that a family owned business would be a little more flexible than a chain franchise. Glad I did. Even though his schedule was booked he made time for me on the 4th. He was supposed to be at my house at 1pm, he called me at noon to let me know that he had been delayed and would be able to arrive until 2.30pm. I thought that was good business since so many contractors I have worked with usually don't call and just so up late. When he arrived I showed him were the bulk of the army was attacking. As he walked around Mr. Swanson found several entry points and showed me where the ants were getting in. He sprayed both in and outside of the house and then explained it would take about ten days before they would be gone completely. If I was to spot anymore ants after the ten days just call him back and he would retreat the areas (no charge). After five days I started sealing all the entry points Mr. Swanson showed me. Two weeks after Mr. Swanson sprayed the ants appeared in another part of the house. I called him back and told him a new invasion had begun. True to his word he came by resprayed the entire house in and out at no cost. I haven't had an ant problem since.

We moved into our new house on April 17, 2012. That's when I noticed the Wasp nest all around the outside of my house. I got on to yelp and after reading the first review I decided to call Swanson Pest Control. I'm glad I did. I've never used a pest control company before, but there is something to be said about doing business with a small family owned company. The customer service is amazing! The woman who answers the phone is both friendly and informative. Unfortunately, they couldn't come out the same day, due to me calling around 5pm, but we set up service for Thursday 04/19. I told them I have pet, and they told me the chemicals that they use wouldn't be a problem for them. When I came home the next day after work, all the nests were gone, they even sprayed around my property line and clean up any spider webs they found. A few days later the wasps were back. I called again to see if there was anything I could do to get rid of them permanently. The owner got on the phone and gave me a lot of information about wasps and their habits. He was very helpful and I set up regular service every other month. I have not seen any bugs since.I'll continue to use them, and eventually get them to spray in my house for any future pests. Cost: $85 every other month Inside fee, which I have yet to do is $35.00, but I'll need to be home to set this one up.
