We purchased an Angie's Deal for 50% of the typical price. Unfortunately we received pest control treatment commensurate with the amount we spent. The sugar ants never went away. Treating myself with Orkin bought from Home Depot. Fingers crossed.

The service you purchased was a one time service and sugar ants need a more on-going. We offered all one time service customers during the big deal a chance to add 90 days warranty to their program (You denied the protection). The last type of product you want to use for sugar ants are store purchased spray products. We will call you and offer a free follow-up but the $65 big deal was not a cure all service we live in Florida where its a constant battle. Rick Ricker

The technician arrived on time and promptly told us about the packages that Rick Ricker offered as well as the prices. After agreeing to the package, he immediately started his work by spraying the house. His work was very thorough and concise, and we were happy overall.
Description of Work: Signed up for a yearly contract which includes spraying the entire house, attic, and the perimeter of the house. They come out every 3 months, and if we ever need them to come out for something specific.

$32.91 if comparing to a monthly service is an average industry rate for a smaller home. Your home is 1757 square feet. You purchased our best quarterly process that includes interior exterior quarterly service.

The service went well. I did not read the fine print of the deal so I had to pay an additional $65 for them to do all of the extermination of the roaches. Overall the service was good.

This is an update to my review of 6/8/13. This company really cares about their customers. After noting in my last review that I didn't feel the product worked very well, they called and came out and did another service - no charge. So far so good. I tremendously appreciate their responsiveness,

David spent hours in my townhome looking for and treating for termites in my home. He made recommendations for repairs that need to be done. He was clean and prompt, and very professional. He answered all of my questions completely and the office followed up the next day to make sure I was happy. I HIGHLY recommend this company.

Fine. The technician arrived early, worked efficiently, and was pleasant to talk with. My only concern was that the entire house wasn't sprayed. I gathered this wasn't part of the special deal. I should've verified this with the provider, but I was happy enough.

It was the first time i had pest control. It seemed pretty basic. Since I do not have any yardstick I cannot say if they did better or worse. I did not have any problems though.

He sprayed inside and outside out, and everywhere we asked him to. Nice guy, very professional, but the ants came back a week later so I guess the product wasn't strong enough. It should have lasted more than a week. I'm not inclined to call them back

It worked out well. The guy was super nice. He came and did the house. It was quick, no trouble. He was patient with my dogs. So not much more that I can ask from them. The guy came very professional and friendly and that that would be my basis for recommendation. I haven't seen any more bugs than I've had before and so as far as the quality and the products, I can't speak to that but he explained to me everything that he'd be doing. I thought he was just thoroughly good.

The big deals are a whole house treatment. Customers that are saying bathroom & kitchen only are not mentioning the exterior perimeter treatment that was done around their home which is the most important part of the service since 95% plus of pests come from outside. Kitchens and bathrooms are the most pest friendly areas in the home, therefore treatments in these areas are the most crucial areas of the home. I've noticed for a $65 service some customers are expecting a $350 value instead of a $125 value. We will call the customer and offer a redo of the service.

They were professional and did a good job. It took a few visits to remove the carpenter ants we had, but after a month they look to be gone. I'd use them again and they were certainly better versus the cost/attentiveness/knowledge of Orkin or Terminex.

He said that was what it was going to take and that was what it took. It cost what the coupon said it would. I have not had any yet and he will follow-up next year. I will see how it goes. He got there 6 minutes before his scheduled time and came to the door at his scheduled time. He was prompt and everything is looking good. I would use him again.

I don't know if I am going to blame the company or Angie's list. Overall what happened is it was advertised on Angie's list, the Big Deal, that I will only pay $65 for a $125 service. But when the person showed up at home, he said that he was just going to spray the kitchen and the bathroom area. He said that we are just paying $65 and that's what we get for that. Well, I was kind of disappointed with that response and I don't know what to make of it. I don't know if that's the fault of Angie's list or the company. EDIT 7/25/13: The owner of the company called me and worked out a solution to make my experience better. He sent out a technician and improved the service. I have updated the grade from a F to a B for the new service provided.
