They've been wonderful so far! They were here on time; everything went as planned. The tech worked constantly to make sure he left not only on time, but early. He did a great job of putting everything he had to move back where he found it. Everything went smoothly and I was very pleased.

Called Rick Ricker for appointment. Got a call back in a matter of an hour. Set up an appointment. The salesman came right on schedule and I toured him around the house and showed him where I thought termites had swarmed. He confirmed and we set up a date for a complete inspection and treament. The indvidual showed up as scheduled and treated the actic, the area where the termites had swarmed. He treated outside around the house and then looked completely through the house for anyother signs of termite swarms. When he left told me to keep watch for any swarms, he would come back. He thought that there would not be. No signs of any terrmites or even ants onthe out side of the house.

Very professional and on time. Extremely pleased with the services provided. Price was a little higher than some other quotes I received, but I agree you get what you pay for. Due to the high ratings on Angie's List decided the money would be worth it, and would definitely reccomend them in the future. The sales rep and technician were both very courteous and professional. Glad I decided to go with them as I am extremely pleased with this service. Thank you!!

Everything went as exspected to do their job.
Description of Work: Since I have a small condo, I was charged less for their service. Four days after their service, my particular problem, mini ants in the kitchen, have now disappeared. I make the assumption that their service was through and complete for the amount I paid. They were professional in every way. I'd recommend them without hesitation!

Scheduling was easy and Tom arrived right on schedule. Tom was there to perform an initial inspection and then explain what they offered. We agreed and scheduled the service. Tony arrived right on time and completed his service inside and outside of our home. Now it's too early to say that they were or were not effective but they are true professionals and provide outstanding customer service. The only reason that price wasn't given an A was that you have to be excellant to get an A and Good to get a B. The pricing was about what I would pay elsewhere so it's a fair and reasonable price.

I was thrilled that they did a free estimate for me! Luckily they found nothing in our house. They were on time, early even. They were also very professional and provided educational information. They were extremely responsive, and came out within two hours of my contacting them. If the system allowed me, I would nominate them for the page of happiness award because they certainly provided great service.

I took advantage of the Angie's List deal for this 1 year pest control service. We have lots of ants in the kitchen and bathrooms. They were great with setting up the appointment and confirming the appointment, letting me know the name of the technician who was coming. The technician was right on time, and very professional. He found a problem we weren't aware of and gave us tips on how to prevent it. It's been about a month and we have virtually no ants! We can call them in the year for more treatments, and all the treatments are safe for animals and people so we didn't have to do anything with our cat.

Our technician was John. He was on time. (Also, I was given a specific time, not a window! Very exciting) John was extremely informative and friendly. He helped to set up the follow up appointment himself. The cost covered the trapping, disposal, and thirty days of follow up appointments every 3-5 days scheduled at MY convenience. I will absolutely be calling them with any future concerns and highly recommend them.

We have used Rick Ticker Termite and Pest Control for several years. It seems like a bit of money to put down but we have never had any problems with termites or bugs. I really have a problem with any kind of bugs and they have made a world of difference regarding bugs since they started. When we do see the occasional bug throughout the year it only takes one phone call and they are back out to spray or control what the problem is. We have been pleased with their professionalism and their wonderful staff. They have a consistent staff which is a great plus. They worked around our three dogs and cat. I would recommend them to everyone. It is so nice to have a great company I feel I can trust my home with and In Florida everyone needs a great pest control service!
Description of Work: Hired Rick Ricker Termite for our annual termite and pest control. They came out and checked each room inside, including all the walls and window ledges for any sign of termites. They then started the termite control outside. They completely service the entire area around the house. Then we had them do a complete pest control. They opened each outlet and switch and sprayed. They specifically sprayed out bathrooms and kitchen where we had concerns. (Even if I think I see a bug I freak out.) They then went in our attic and put down bug prevention up there. He baited and reset the traps they put in the attic last year in case anything finds a way in. They wear booties anytime they are in the house. They are very professional and courteous. They take their time and will answer questions as they are working. Even the office staff is professional and worked around my odd work hours to schedule the appointment. At the end of the appointment you get a complete copy of all the product they put down and they give you suggestions that might help.

After doing a very complete inspection of the home for the estimate, they answered all our questions in detail. The service tech came out on New Years Eve to spray and explained everything he had done. About 2 months later we had a small ant problem return to our kitchen and they came out, no questions asked, to respray the area effected.

From the first phone call that I made through to the follow-up visit, my experience with Rick Ricker Termite and Pest Control Inc was a positive one. When I called this company, I was greeted with pleasant, professional courtesy. Richard came out within a few days to assess whether or not I had termites and what they could do for me to eliminate the problem. He was friendly, polite and very knowledgeable with many years of experience to back it up. He even put shoe covers over his shoes before entering my home. After confirming that I did have live drywood termites, he gave me some options for treatment without pushing me into anything I didn't need. He helped me set up an appointment to have Chris come out to treat my home for the live infestation as well as a preventative treatment to protect my home from subterranean termites. A few days later, Chris came out to complete the job. He was very knowledgeable and polite and had my home completely treated within a few hours. He treated the entire attic, including the garage, the site where there was visible infestation, inside select walls, behind the bathroom tubs and the entire outside perimeter of the house. You would never know that he had been in my home and there was minimal disruption to the landscape surrounding my home. The chemicals that they use have no odor and are safe for pets and humans. The company set up an appointment to inspect my home 30 days after treatment to insure that there were no live termites left. Chris came out again to do the final inspection. I have not seen any signs of any kind of insects since the treatment. They guarantee their work for the life of the home and treated me like I was family. I never talked to an answering machine and whomever I did talk to, was always pleasant and willing to accommodate me. I would absolutely use them again and I tell everyone that I know to use this company.

Very Good Company that stands by their commitments and agreed work. The Office Manager too is very friendly and co-operative and Mr Ricker, also gets involved if there are any issues that need his attention. Was a pleasure doing business with them. I think the above mentioned sentiments also would be appropriate here but then maybe that would simply be a repetition, so suffice to say the experience was a pleasant one that I would happily recommend to any one considering Pest Control problems.
Description of Work: Our problems initially were with field rats for which their Sales Rep. Richard Shepherd came and offered us a package to tackle the problem plus also take care of any S.T. termites and pest control. He also ensured that access into the roof areas were adequately sealed off. Their field tech John visited and took care of the initial application. He was very friendly and also took the time to explain things he was doing. Treatment was done for Pharoah ants, roaches spiders etc. The persistent ants needed 2 treatments and it seems to have worked. Whilst from the scamperings we heard it seemed many had access to the attic only ONE rat was caught, and have ceased their activities. During one of his visits we pointed out damage to the baseboards which he diagnosed as subterranian termite activity he arranged for Chris Ricker to follow up with treatment for this. Chris was very thorough and professional in everything he did and he is especially a very personable young man who took pride in his work. In the follow-up treatment I have asked for only him to come with the confidence that he will be very thorough and attend to this problem and see that it is eliminated. I would whole heartedly recommend them to anyone with the same problems.

Very professional, would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: I had found termite droppings in a bathroom upstairs. I called Rick and one other place to get an estimate. Rick came out the next day and looked over the whole house and explained the options. He had a technician come out the following week to perform the service. He also explained the yearly pest control option that we all need here in Florida and I took advantage of both. After performing the service, he had someone else come back a month later to check on everything. Rick and his crew are very friendly and professional.
