Residential, commercial and industrial pest control & animal removal.
At this last visit to a rental we own, Lenz removed some desiccated rats from an attic space that were found by the cable guy. They didn't charge for the service and were very respectful and polite to the tenant. All of my contact with the office was very professional. Lenz has done work for us in the past and we've always found them to be prompt, courteous and professional. Prices are reasonable. We had one billing disagreement based on a misunderstanding. Lenz removed the disputed charge immediately.

I got referred to Lenz from some good friends of mine. They used them for years and told me they could be trusted. When I called Lenz, I was a bit disappointed at first because they couldn't really give any idea of costs. They explained that every place is different and they would have to come out to evaluate my gopher problem. That made sense so I scheduled the free consultation. It was much more than that. The technician gave me a very in depth lesson on gophers. I now know more than I every wanted to know but I understand the problem so much better than before. At least I feel that I know what is going on. I didn't feel any pressure from the tech and ended up having him set some traps while he was there. He returned in a few days and caught 3 gophers. He told me to clean up and to keep my eye on the problem and to call him if any more showed up. It has been a few weeks and nothing yet. I will definitely call them again at the first sign of a new gopher. They were great.

They refused to give an estimate or provide information on any other services without a full fee inspection of the property. The woman was curt on the phone and stated that they only come out to the property and give estimates with an inspection. A paid inspection! Since they sub out the fumigation to sub contractors, they are not worth your time if you know you need fumigation for termites performed. I would not recommend them for termite fumigation work since they are only interested in charging you for their inspection service rather than providing actual service. Any company that charges you to quote you a price is a sham and not worthy of your business.
Description of Work: Called to get a idea of their fumigation services. They will not provide any service beyond their sub contracting of fumigation without a paid inspection of the property. Regardless of the fact that the home was just purchased and a full inspection report is available. So not worth your time or your business unless you need an inspection. We do not need an inspection, we need fumigation and wanted to discuss the alternative options. But they will not even discuss the alternatives without a full priced inspection.

When I first called them, I was able to get an estimate over the phone, and schedule the work within just a few days. On the day they came, they were prompt and professional and told me exactly what would happen (first brushing down all the webs, and then spray treating the outside of the house, and the inside and outside of my detached garage). They told me I would need to leave my doors and windows closed for two hours after he left, so that the chemicals wouldn't get inside the house. After that time, I went out and did not see or smell any residue. It has been three weeks now, and I've not seen any spiders (or other bugs) since.
Description of Work: They treated the outside of my house, and the inside and outside of my detached garage, for spiders. I had a black widow's web outside my front door, and there were lots of other webs outside my house and in my garage. They brushed down all the webs, even on the second story of the house, and then spray-treated the outside of the house, and the inside and outside of my detached garage. They guaranteed the work for 6 months. I didn't want any chemicals on the inside of my house, because I have two indoor cats. I just had to leave all my doors and windows closed for two hours after they finished spraying the house. They were very prompt, professional, and efficient.

They did a good job. We asked them a lot of very specific questions, all of which they answered easily. They showed up on time and were very professional and everything went off without a hitch.
Description of Work: They came out to do an inspection and had to tent the house because we had termites.
