Description of Work: Provided advice on how to kill a rodent under the house. Their price to provide services was too much for me for what I needed. There was no charge for the visit. _x000D_|

We had too many spiders, ants, crickets, flies and bees. The spray worked on the spiders only and lasted maybe 2 weeks. I was hoping for better results since I was paying a company to kill all the bugs in the yards. We made a quarterly contract with them. So far I don't think it's worth it. It's best to buy a few cans of spray and do it yourself for less.
Description of Work: Dewy sprayed our front and back yard for insects.

It went pretty well. I think the price was reasonable. They really got the job done and that's what I like. There really isn't anything I didn't like.

They come out every few months. They didn't charge us when they recently came out. They have been reliable pest control for us for several years.
Description of Work: I have used Dewey Services INC. for pest control. They recently came out for a mouse problem. They gave us some glue traps and showed us where the mice could be getting in.

They have been fantastic. I have used them for many years. They are affordable. They call me the day before they come, and the day after to make sure everything is OK. They are really accommodating and very, very reliable. I pay through e-billing so there is no paper bill. They are responsive, punctual, and professional. I would use this provider in the future.
Description of Work: They provide monthly pest control services.

They use natural products and they are very good. It was a one time deal. They were very professional and helpful. I spent only $50 as the rest was covered by home warranty. The ants haven't come back.
Description of Work: I used Dewey Pest Control for ant treatment about two months ago.

First few service calls were good; thereafter service was very lousy. They had high technician turnover - new one very frequently, some only showed up once before quiting; service was spotty and incomplete or they did not show up as promised, nor did they call beforehand as promised. Service was terminated after the requisite period and they subsequently billed for services not provided, which was contested by me as I don't pay for services not rendered Complaint was filed with California Attorney General's office due to their unsupported collection calls. A complaint also filed with Better Business Bureau. Would not recommend them in the least! Stay away from them. Per other pest control companies I've subsequently hired - they are known as being "pump jockeys" in providing service, which means poor and incomplete service to clients. High staff turnover is also an indication of the type of company they are. Could be location of office but I would not use them nor do I recommend them. There are better, more conscientious providers out there who really provide the service they promise.
Description of Work: Hired them for semi-monthly pest control service for exterior of house only. Service they promised was to spray outside premises and clear cobwebs, etc. as part of normal maintenance. Signed 1 year contract per their request. I requested they call the house to notify me prior to date of performing service.

I am doing some renovating and I wanted to get rid of them before we hacked into a termite hole. The price was pretty good. Dewey is one of the few companies who does the fumigating with their own crew. Most others are more interested in the repairs and sell the fumigation job to someone else. I felt more comfortable with Dewey's employees doing it for me than someone else who was pulled for the job. There is no way to judge how well the job was done, but I think it was good.
Description of Work: They fumigated my termite infected house for me.

I WAS SATISFIED WITH THE WORK THIS COMPANY PROVIDED. THEY GUARANTEED THEIR WORK FOR 60 DAYS, BUT EVEN AFTER THE 60 DAYS I SAW NO SIGN OF ANTS OR SPIDERS. NOW THAT I HAVE THIS ANT PROBLEM UNDER CONTROL, I HAVE THIS COMPANY COME OUT EVERY 3 MONTHS TO SPRAY MY HOUSE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM FROM RECURRING.
Description of Work: HAD A VERY BAD PROBLEM WITH ANTS AND SPIDERS. THEY WHERE ALL OVER MY YARD. THEY WERE IN THE WATER HOSE SPOT, AROUND MY DOOR, I MEAN EVERYWHERE.

WE HAD A TERRIBLE PROBLEM WITH ANTS BEFORE THEY WERE HIRED. NOW, WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM WITH ANTS. THEY ALWAYS LEAVE A NOTE WHEN THEY COME (SINCE WE DON'T NEED TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS) AND THEY'LL TELL US TO CLOSE OUR DOORS/WINDOWS IF WE'RE HOME.
Description of Work: THEY COME ONCE A MONTH TO SPRAY THE PERIMETER OF MY HOUSE FOR ANTS. I'M ON A MONTHLY CONTRACT (THE PRICE LISTED IS THE MONTHLY FEE). THEY'LL SPRAY INSIDE AT NO EXTRA CHARGE IF NECESSARY.
