Nelson's has been a pleasure to work with from day one. The office staff are always friendly and helpful. The pest control staff that comes to my home are always courteous and thorough. Recently, I needed an extra spray in the middle of my Quarterly session and they quickly accommodated me with an appointment. I have recommended them to multiple family members and they have credited us both on our bills for the repeat referrals. Nelson's knows how to earn your business and keep it.

I heard nosies in my attic. Unsure of what was up there, I filled out the form for contact on Nelson's Pest Control website. The following morning, I was called and set up an appointment. David came out to assess the situation. He was knowledgeable and professional. David was thorough in his expalantion of a treatment plan for rodents. He did not try to sell me anything not needed. He was honest. Nelson's has done everything they explained that needed to be done. Nelson's set traps, fixed areas where rodents can get in,sprayed the attic with an antimicrobal germacide solution. They have returned several times to check the traps. The employees are professional and prompt. I am very happy with company. I decided to go with their 4 Seasons plan as well. Great company!

they provide a good service. always calls you to notify you when a serviceman will be at your home
Description of Work: We signed up for several servides including the seasonal pest control, bi-annual palm service, yard fertalizing and had a termadol termite treatment. A few things were not described correctly when we originaly signed up and other places were cheaper but we were in a deal we paid up front. So if we had tried to cancle we would have had to take a loss so we stuck it out for the year. At the end of the year they did not notify us and continued treatment with out our permision or a contract. I simply found a bill on my door for $75.

Terrible experience from start to finish as my lawn which was the show piece on the street went from bad to worst with this company. Usually took over a week for the owner to respond or show up for complaints and when he did it was one excuse after another as to why my lawn was deteriorating. Even blamed my white fence as the cause as to why my grass was dying-said it was "reflecting too much heat and was burning the grass." Go figure! Was done with them after a year and is now very pleased with my new company that saved my lawn without lame excuses. Will never recommend Nelson to anyone.

I called asking if they did they type of work I needed - They said yes. I asked if they would like to come out and give me a quote. They charge $89 to come out. I said $89 to come out and give me a quote ? They said yes, but the $89 comes off the price of the bill if you have the work done. I said no thank you I don't need to pay $89 when other companies will give me a quote for free. They were professional, but I don't know how they stay in business as that's a bit of $ to spend just for quote.

I just realized that I'd never written a review for this company and we've had their service since 2014. I've used a couple of "big box" providers; you know the big advertisers . . . at any rate, they were not effective. I'm very pleased with the service that I get from Nelson's; bug problem is minimal (and that's saying a lot). They are quick to respond, offer additional service at no cost when needed and are very friendly and respectful. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this company.

Very pricey for the services rendered. No clear communication of how exactly how their treatment was going to work. The technicians were on time, polite, but had limited knowledge on the questions that I presented. Picked this service as it was highly rated on Angie's List & recommended by a family member. No extension of services that could be provided concerning lawn treatment. Very disappointed overall. Very expensive with no guarantees. I would not recommend Nelson's Pest Control & will never use them again. Buyer beware.

Response from Nelson's Pest Control Inc
Any potential customer is explained the standard procedure of the German roach program during the inquiry into our office. The program includes an initial inspection & treatment at a reasonable flat rate, with a very detailed treatment plan and cost determined during the initial visit specifically based on the home’s condition. During the inspection for this customer, the program was explained by our Senior Technician and an agreement with detailed instructions signed and a copy left for the customer. This customer signed the agreement which had specific additional instructions circled, and even initialed the area where she was instructed of her responsibility to remove items from infested areas prior to treatment. These instructions included: eliminate clutter, remove items in infested cabinets & be patient. Unfortunately she chose not to comply with our recommendations and did not take advantage of the extended visits quoted. Re-infestations may occur if the outside infesting source is not identified, which was discussed in detail with this customer to help educate her in preventing future infestations. It seems that this customer expected unrealistic results even after we tried to educate and request her cooperation. Based on the severity of German roaches, success is not just the applying of professional products, it takes a homeowner’s effort.

.I have used Nelson's for the past 7 years. I have moved to another town The cost is an annual cost for 10 applications. From the very start, I have been impressed with the professionalism and quality of service provided. Always answers questions and comes back (no charge) if something needs to be done between applications. There are cheaper services out there, but none that provide the quality of product and customer service. Always let you know they are there and what they will be doing and any special instructions. On the Inspection of our home for the sales contract, the inspector stated the the lawn was in the best shape he had seen. It is the best looking lawn in the neighborhood. Highly recommended.

They were very patient in helping me with a few pest issues initially. They are so nice and professional, I talk to the same people and see the same people every time. I feel very confident in this company. Our lawn is always in good shape. They have never let us down. It's just a good company with a good owner.

Scheduled a yearly service for pest control. The tech came out and said that he waited 30 minutes and then left. I called the company back 15 minutes after receiving a voice mail, and he was already gone. They were supposed to call my wife, who was breastfeeding are baby, and could not answer the door when he first knocked. If they would have called her like they were supposed to they would have known this. Instead they then tell us they waited 30 minutes but if that was true then they still would have been there when I called them. They refused to come back so we are looking for service elsewhere. Apparently it was too much to follow directions and provide good customer service.

My lawn looks worse than my neighbors who have no service. When I called to ask that my lawn be treated now vs waiting until my next scheduled service I was told they would send out a supervisor to take a look. When he arrived I was shocked to hear him give one excuse after another and did not offer to have my lawn treated in advance of my next scheduled treatment. After he left I called to cancel my service. They did not care. I understand sometimes things go wrong, it's how you propose to fix it that matters. Although the office person seemed to be concerned enough to send the supervisor, the supervisor offered nothing at all except excuses. This company really needs to put a person in the supervisory position that knows how to retain customers if that is the goal. The person who came to my home was not interested in the least in keeping me as a customer. I am hopeful the next company is more eager to earn and keep my business.

Response from Nelson's Pest Control Inc
Upon reviewing lawn, we noticed areas that were greener where grass was taller. We noted to customer that the main problem is that the lawn is thick with thatch and it is also being cut too short (scalped). When any lawn is scalped, it will instantly take away the color especially during this winter season which is a slower growing time that we are in. Due to this dormancy we explained, it will take many weeks to grow out the scalped sections compared to the summer time growing season. Upon new growth in spring, we explained she would see the color and growth return quicker but at the present time there was nothing that we could do to quickly change the color of the grass. It was also explained to customer not to cut the lawn or do so as little as possible in these winter months. There were other neighboring lawns that we pointed out as well that were in the same condition, although some that were greener and more lush looking were clearly due to the turf height which was also explained. The Customer didn’t like our supervisor’s educated response however & closed the door in his face mid-conversation. It’s hard if not impossible to deliver ongoing desired visual results in one’s turf grass when recommendations aren’t willingly acknowledged and/or complied with.

These guys are the best! I did a lot of research before hiring a pest control company to conquer a German cockroach issue and help me feel comfortable in my newly purchased home, and I am so glad I chose this company. At Nelson's, their pest control professionals are courteous, clean cut, and well educated in their profession. As they work, they explain that they regularly attend seminars on the latest developments in pest control, and they give you very helpful tips on how to control and prevent pests. Nelson's actually has a 5 week program specifically designed to eliminate German Cockroaches. Because GCR become resistant to pesticides over time, Nelson's rotated baits and sprays specifically targeted to these pests. It was not a one size fits all pest control plan that many of the major companies use, but which fails because it isn't targeted to the specific insect or the individual home. I almost went with a different company who had overall good reviews, but I found I review that said they did "nothing" for someone's GCR problem. I am so glad I chose Nelson's instead! Today my home is insect free, and I owe huge thanks to the Nelson's team and the excellent supervisor AJ, who was not afraid to roll up his sleeves and tackle a challenge. Without Nelson's, I doubt we would have won our war against insects. I also really appreciate Holly and Crystal in the office, who are very caring professionals. I don't often take the time to write reviews, but I want to thank you so much, Nelson's!

My appointment was scheduled between 3:30 and five o'clock, which I usually hate because most companies never show until the last minute. However, Dustin was at my door before four o'clock and I was pleased. He was courteous and provided the service just as it was explained to me over the phone. I had to provide him with shoe covers as he did not have any other than that the service went ok.

David Nelson arrived promptly after telephone co-ordination - starting the same day I called. On arrival, he checked the nest, confirmed the price and got to work wearing full protective gear. Both before and after his work he was a pleasure to deal with, dispensing advice on lawn care (his other expertise) and small business management (a mutual interest!)

Overall, it was one of the absolute best experiences I have ever had with a contractor. If you have a rodent problem, do not hesitate to call him.
Description of Work: A rat got into our house. We tried unsuccessfully to get rid of it ourselves. It was leaving droppings everywhere and chewing on Christmas decorations, golf balls and anything else that was accessible. It got so bad that on New Year's Day, I started to call and e-mail various pest control companies on Angies List. Dave Nelson got my e-mail on New Years Day morning while he was out for breakfast with his wife and family. I must have sounded desperate (I was) because he called me at at 9:30 that morning. We set up an appointment to see us on the following day. We fully expected to be out of our house for several days while he and his staff took care of our rat problem. He visually inspected our house-inside and out-and our attic. He felt the rat may have come in through an open door. I thought I heard the rat under our couch. Dave said that he would catch it if possible. We turned the couch over, the rat ran out and Dave grabbed it with a towel. Case closed. This gentleman just about walks on water as far I am concerned and does walk on water as far as my wife is concerned. He called us on New Years Day, came out the next day, resolved our problem, made several suggestions that will prevent possible future problems then said he could charge us to fix that but he felt it was simple enough for me to handle myself.

Had a great experience so far with this company. Bought a neglected house which was full of every kind of bug imaginable. 1 treatment from these guys has killed them all, and we are completely bug free. Found some minor termite damage so I've decided to have them treat the home with their termidor treatment. David personally came to the house for an inspection and gave me a detailed lesson on termites and how to treat them. If every company operated like this one, there would be no need for angie's list! I am very satisfied.

I have been using him for a year. Several months ago my lawn started dying out; it got dead spots and started spreading. The owner of the company Dave Nelson personally came out and brought a horticulturist, Mr. Brown Dear an associate of his and two fertilizer experts. Between the four of them they came up with a remedy to hopefully to cure it. Out of Dave Nelson’s own pocket he went out and put several applications of the recommended fertilizers that were given to him by the experts that were here. Now I am looking at the lawn that was luscious as it was. It has all come back, healthy and green. It was growing and it was just a fine job. He spent a lot of his own pocket to do it. I would highly recommend Mr. Nelson. The price depends on the size of the house. I had other services before and he was the forth one I had and he maybe a little bit more but I am certainly getting the bank for my buck. The guy was so involved and took everything on personally. He did everything in his power to get the lawn restored. I did not believe them for quite awhile. But progress has been made on the lawn and when I woke up one day, boom the problem was cured and the lawn was back. I got what I paid for. I can get someone else for a hike a lot cheaper but he would not do the work Mr. Nelson or his company did. He had used the application for fertilizers. He was not most expensive but little more expensive than the others. He has been out here so many time checking things.

We at Nelson's Pest Control do understand Member's concerns & frustration with her rat problem. She first called us on the 8th of Sept., and again on the 10th. In that the back to back hurricane weekends, as well as Labor Day, we tried to address all calls but were operating on a skeleton staff during that trying time frame due to taking care of our families.
