after 3 times we still have the carpenter ants during the first attempt to rid them the tech was short and stood on our toilet instead of getting a ladder to put powder in our exhaust fan with a metal applicator when he stepped down the applicator got caught on the fan edge and broke the plastic where the screws held the fan up. I bought a new fan and I have heard nothing back about them having it installed after them coming out and taking pictures. I have medical issues preventing me from doing it. If nothing is done about this after our contract is up we will not renew it,as customer satisfaction doesn't seem to be a high priority

Had bug out in arlington for years- great service. Moved to Beach in Q1 2017 and hired again- Very poor service. Only 400 ft of grass that was not maintained. Round 1 (Q4 17) - Dead spots - bugs, etc... Called to complain -sent manager - he said it was because they only sprayed every 2 months- this "type weed" was fast moving. He would spray to kill but would leave dead spots. Could not deviate from every 2 months. Round 2 (Q1 17) - Lawn looks awful - called to complain - told me tech would show on X Day to treat lawn. I was home all day- never showed- never called. Came on the next day unannounced and left a note saying he could not access back yard due to dog. - 20 pound terrier.

We have used numerous yard maintenance companies in our 7 years in Jacksonville. Our contract expires this month and we will definitely renew. On Halloween we had a number of our neighbors ask who did our yard maintenance, and stated we had the best yard in the subdivision. So that should tell you the quality of their work and the results. There a couple dead spots in the yard that they addressed quickly. We have been extremely happy with Bug Out's service and professionalism.
Description of Work: We have an annual yard maintenance/treatment service contract with Bug Out. They fertilize and treat the yard, normally every six weeks.

I haven't always loved the reports they gave, but I knew it needed to be done. I've used Bug-Out for 3 years now and have been very satisfied. I was having alot of problems with sugar ants in the 2nd year and they came in and really fixed the problem. If you dont stay on top of ants they can get really bad in this area. Every time I call they give a prompt response and are polite and professional.
Description of Work: They are a termite and pest prevention service. They come to the house 3 x's a year and check all the exterior bates (in the ground) for termite activity. They will remove any spider webs on the house and advise if leaves, debris or any other potential bug attracting problems need to be done. They also service inside.

Despite previous correspondence I took the time to type and mail to Bug-Out they continue to provide dismal to non-existent service. In my correspondence to them, I requested they call before coming out. Today, they showed up without calling and I am babysitting friend's dogs in my backyard. The last time they left a note on my door telling me they came but I wasn't here. Maybe I could have been here had they bothered to pick up the phone and make an appointment! Summary: STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY ARE GREEDY, INCOMPETENT, LAZY AND UNPROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: Bugout WAS owned by a gentleman who did right by customers. Unfortunately, a greedy relative appears to own it now and it has gone DOWNHILL. We have a yearly contract with them and instead of coming out once a year and inspecting the exterior, interior and spraying they decided to come a couple of times a year and walk around the outside of the house for 5 minutes. THAT IS IT. No spraying, no inside inspection, nothing. I am being charged $450.00 an hour for a "technician" to walk around my house and tell me where I have wood up against it. My dog could do that.

Great. Always came out within days of our call and always explained what they were doing and what we needed to do to help the situation
Description of Work: I purchased pest and termite service last August 2012. Since then they have been very punctual with their schedule service dates. We have had to call them about bugs inside as we'll as rodents in the attic. They immediately came out and sprayed. The only thing they cautioned me about upfront is that they do to retrieve dead rodents. They just n throw Devon rat poisoning out. Luckily we were able to trap the rat before it died in the walls.

She arrived on time & was able to cope with our loud dogs and work around them. She cleared out all the cobwebs around the exterior - which had built up for about 15 yrs (previous owner never cleared them & we hadn't had a chance to yet). She sprayed as expected and will be returning in a month to treat again.

I have no dislikes; they provide a pretty good service, good results with the way the lawn looks. Apparently, the treatment works well because it's maintaining the lawn in pretty good shape. The price is good. They are pretty responsive and right on time.
