This year we are very disappointed in them. They come but they are getting very slack about the way they do stuff. They don't do things the way they used to. They keep raising their prices. They used to throw all the bugs and mosquitoes and everything. I used to brush off that outside of the house. They used to fill up this rodent traps and they don't do that anymore. If we wanted that done, they will charge us more, seems like they are getting too big. They are just not giving us the service that we are satisfied with. Last year, we have to call them out twice because we still have bugs and everything. They fixed it but we have to call them out. I am just not generally pleased. They said they are not going to do this kind of pest control, they are going to do a different kind, and they are not going to use the traps and the stuff they use for termites, change this and change that. We are just not happy. If we change, it will cost us even more. It almost cost us $1200 just to get another pest control guy in here. Every year they raise their prices too. They did come out when they said they would.
Description of Work: Rick Ricker Termite & Pest Control Inc. does annual pest control. We've had them for 4 years now.

Response from Rick Ricker Termite & Pest Control Inc
We show the customer name as different then reporter. Angies List members are starting to write reviews for friends? Customer originally paid $250 for a Once A Year Pest control in 2005. The rate increase of 2% a year is less then inflation rate. This year 2014 the customer paid $292. The regular rate for her home is $475 for 2014. Customer was given rat bat boxes for free and filled and serviced when there was rat activity at no additional cost as well as trapping. We will not fill Rat boxes when no activity exists. In prior years the customer has had more then 2 service calls and depending on the weather and environment around a home our average Once A Year pest control service call ratio sits at 1/3 a customer. We also utilized Termidor around the foundation free of charge place of bait stations because of the performance of Termidor we find no activity in termite bait stations which is secondary. So everything we have done for the customer was done to offer the best possible service. The orginal services were $800 not $1200 as reviwer states. I actually called the customer we have listed not the Angie's List reviewer and I am awaiting a call. Customer just renewed pest control on May 19th and this review is the first time I heard of any disappointment.

The technician came out and sealed the home and set two traps in the attic. He stated that as part of the fee they would be out regularly to check traps and move them as needed to address the problem. Within 2 weeks of the service all of the entry points they were supposed to have sealed were open again. When we called to notify them of the issue we were told that the technician was no longer working there. A supervisor came out to the property and resealed the entry points but no one has followed up since. We paid for a service that has not removed a single animal from our property and effectively a can of GreatStuff to be sprayed at 4 points in our soffiting. If I had known this is what the service would be would not have paid so much for someone else to do it.
Description of Work: We contracted them to do trapping and exclusionary work on our home for roof rats.

They did termite and flying ants treatment. They came on time, attentive and they will come back to take care for some other related issues. I would recommend this as an alternative tenting for termites and the cost is approximately half.

Great. Took no time at all and scheduled the return visit on the spot.
Description of Work: We came to move in to a condo we just bought and discovered a flea infestation from the prior owners dog. At 2pm. On Good Friday. We sound like we are in trouble right? We called and while there were no more appointment spots left today we had a guy who agreed to come by even though he was done and he was here within an hour and done in under 20 minutes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thank you SO much for helping us!

We found a few termites wings in one room, and asked some companies to come and give us a quote. Rick Ricker gave us response quickly, and explained everything clearly and patiently. It seems to us they are professional and finally we choose them. One technician guy came on that Saturday, and worked totally for more than 3 hours. He treated the two tubs on the first floor first, and then went out to treat the outside walls of the house. But unfortunately, it rained heavily after he left, we don't know whether it may not be good for the treatment. The technician told us that someone will come back to have a second check in a month, and we'll tell them about it. And I may update the review when they come back.

They are making considerable progress but I seem to still have some German roaches. They do come promptly whenever I call.
Description of Work: They did not tell me until after I signed up that termite service was available for an additional $200 so it then costs me $400 to get that service later.

Response from Rick Ricker Termite & Pest Control Inc
You purchased 2 different services an annual pest control with German Roach Coverage and treatments for $445. You then purchased a Drywood Termite Treatment for $399 because you had Drywood Termites. These prices are well below market rates for Annual Pest Control & Drywood Termite Coverage. At the time we gave you additional discounts on Drywood Termite Coverage because Drywood Termite activity was seen through the process of treating your German roach infestation. German Roach treatments take multiple trips to achieve control. Our last 2 techs noted no infestations active. These pests do not come from outside and are physically brought into the home by places the occupant or by friends and family that have an infestation themselves. Similar to bedbugs. If any reoccurance happens during the year you are under agreement for additional treatments. I will have the office contact you. If your rating the prices as a D you really haven't shopped the market because the rates are well below average for the problems occuring, but of course most people dont like spending money on solving problems they would rather take a vacation. At your service, Rick Ricker

Sales person showed up on time and was professional. Honored an Angie's list discount even though I did not have the coupon. Price was good compared to others and much better than a tent solution that had been proposed by another company. Tech was on time, knew what he was doing and was very careful about keeping things clean. All total the job took about 2/3 hours with most of the time spent spraying in the attic. I have not seen any new termite sign or damage.

They do a very thorough job annually. If you should have any problems after the initial treatment, they will return without further charge, to address the problem and treat as needed. I have used them for a number of years and continue to be happy with them and the service they provide. They will readily address any problems or concerns or questions. They were a great help in ridding my garage of a wayward, pregnant field rat and her brood of 3!!!!! I think there was an extra charge for that.....but well worth it!! Since I have used them for a number of years, I cannot honestly assess the pricing factor.....I have made no comparisons.

Their service is very effective. If we spot pests through the year, they are good about coming out to re-treat at no charge. This greatly reduces the number of times we have to stay home to meet the pest control technician, which is a savings to us. We have been their customer for 3 years now, and plan to continue.

Warren arrived early and started the inspection. He was very theral and informative in what he was doing and why. The inspection produced evidence of termite active. Warren took the time to explain my alternatives and the methods that would be used if I choose to have the house treated. He was'nt pushy trying to sell the service, he just kept it real. This is what you have and heres what we can do for you. I respect that. Thanks Warren and the Ricker company.

Company is based in Lutz, I live in Miami Beach, and most of its employees are non-Miami Dade County based. They therefore have a long morning drive necessary to arrive at their scheduled Miami-Dade destinations. Service agents did call on time when they were running late, of the 3 visits so far, all scheduled for 9 AM, service person arrived on time the first time, but 15 and 45 minutes late the 2nd and 3rd time, respectively, but like I said they did call at 9 AM to advise that they were running late due to traffic issues. Once there, service people were very efficient and helpful. We had bad smell in the house for a few days after mouse died, had to wait a few days longer due to the fact not all service agents visit the County every single day. Overall we are satisfied with the service performed, and the professionalism of the service agents was very high.
