He gave me an Angie's List discount. I think the service was pretty good; I've not had the follow up inspection yet. He used sonic equipment to test for the termites. He tested several areas and let me know which areas were not termite infested. He's an honest guy and only treats the areas that need to be treated.

If we have any kind of pest problem, Rick Ricker will be the first service provider we call.
Description of Work: Over the past 5 years we have had problems with attic rats. We used other pest control firms before calling Rick Ricker. The tech checked our attic and immediately identified a chimney vent opening in the roof that probably provided access. Besides screening the opening, the tech placed traps, rather than bait, in several areas of the attic. The tech also placed 2 bait boxes around the house. On a weekly basis over 4 weeks, a tech came out to check the screening and the attic traps. The screening proved to be very effective and no rats were caught in the set traps. To date we are rat free. No other service provided Rick Ricker's effective solution.

Rick has been very responsive and he's knowledgeable. His prices seem very reasonable. He sent someone out who we weren't too happy with, so he sent a second person out who did a much better job of the best control.

Warren was very conscientious in his drilling and cleaned up any debris. He was a very pleasant person to work with.
Description of Work: Termites were discovered in our home during a check by Rick. His employee, Warren, applied Termidor around the entire perimeter of our home via drilling and filling holes into the soil and concrete patio. He also foamed the pipes coming into the shower and bathtub on the main floor as well as the original termite damaged area in our garage.

They are absolutely better than anyone else that I have dealt with in the past. They came back a week later to check to see if what they had done took effect. They are pretty thorough, prompt and reasonable in price, in my opinion.

They charge by square foot, and it is a pretty reasonable price for the type of insulation. I loved working with them. They are very nice and punctual, and they explained everything very well. Mike Cirillo is the one who did the work for us.

The initial installation went fine. We've used Rick Ricker for several years and he did a great job and is easy to work with. Our complaint is that nine months after he installed the system we received a notice that Rick is no longer using this bait system and is phasing it out. We had just spent $1000 on the system and now he is trying to sell us a new product that would "work even better." As of August 15th, 2009, we reached a resolution and we are using his services again. I would happily recommend them.
Description of Work: Rick Ricker installed a subterranean termite bait system on our property. He also treated for dry wood termites. The system included 25 bait systems around our house using a Termider product.

Response from Rick Ricker Termite & Pest Control Inc
HE PURCHASED OUR BAIT SYSTEM. WE OFFERED " FREE" FOR NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES OUR TERMIDOR EXPOSED SOIL TREATMENT. THE BAIT SYSTEM WAS NEVER PHASED OUT. IT WOULD AT THAT POINT BECOME MONITORED OR BAITED ON AN ANNUAL BASIS.WE NEVER PHASED OUT OUR BAIT SYSTEM, WE STATED WE WOULDN'T REPLACE DAMAGED STATIONS ( THAT'S IT) CUSTOMER WAS SENT A WARRANTY RENEWAL TERMINATION BECAUSE HE DID NOT RENEW HIS SERVICES BACK IN 04-2008. HE WAS SET UP ON A FREE PAYMENT PLAN ON HIS INITIAL INSTALL WITH HANDLING FEES WAIVED. CUSTOMERS WHO OPTED OUT ON TERMIDOR EXPOSED SOIL TREATMENT STAYED ON REGULAR BAIT SYSTEM PLAN. WE SERVICED HIM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AT HIS RENTAL & HOME AND HIS WRITE UP IS VERY UNFAIR. AGAIN, HE WAS NEVER ASKED TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL TREATMENT AND WE FEEL THIS LETTER IS FALSE

There were some ants and other bugs prior to their treatment. Since the treatment, the tenants have been very satisfied with no bugs. They recently contacted us and let us know that they had been getting mail returned because they had been trying to send mail to the apartment building not our business address. It was time to renew. I asked them when they had completed the six-month treatment that was part of the original year-long contract. They said they sent a letter out to let customers know that they would not be doing any six-month treatments due to high gas prices and chose to do that versus raising people's rates. They said that I was still covered if I ever detected any bugs, I could call and get them to come out for a treatment. Clearly, I did not get this message due to their mail issues, and if I had, I would have had the same reaction. I pre-paid for the year that was to include an initial treatment and one six-month treatment. I do not think it is acceptable to change policies on pre-paid contracts. I still rated them with good marks on quality and overall because they were effective in bug treatment.
Description of Work: They did pest control for a 4-unit apartment building that I manage.

AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO SATISFY THE CUSTOMER ON POLICY CHANGE, LIKE EXTENDING HIS WARRANTY, DISCOUNTING HIS RENEWAL THE CUSTOMER IS STILL UNSATISFIED. IT IS OUR POLICY TO GIVE COMPLETE SATISFACTION. IT BOILS DOWN TO GARTH NEVER RECEIVING HIS LETTER OF TREATMENT TECHNIQUE CHANGES. HE POSTED A REPORT ON ANGIE'S LIST ( RESULTING IN US FINDING OUT ABOUT HIS DISSATISFACTION) PRIOR TO LETTING US KNOW OF HIS DISSATISFACTION.100% REFUND BEING ISSUED BECAUSE WE WANT ALL CUSTOMERS 100% SATISFIED

They came when they said they would. The estimator and the worker came on time. The man that checked the work said I should get rid of some of my wooden items in the garage. I waited until my cat died before I called someone. They were very kind and professional.
Description of Work: I had dry wood termites and had the inside and outside of the house taken care of for bugs. They sprayed all around. They came back and checked to make sure the bugs were gone.

Rick Ricker is fair, helpful and wonderful. The termite treatment was quick and easy (no tent!) and the followup service was wonderful. This is a family-owned and run business and the care the Ricker's take shows in their work and service.
Description of Work: Rick Ricker inspected my home for termite activity and damage and treated for both subterranean and dry wood termites inside and outside of my home. The company also provided inspection services following this treatment.

Since the first phone call, this has been the best company to work with. I am in the second year of working with them and they always respond quickly and take care of any problems. Donna always answers the phone and is very helpful and friendly and schedules someone to come out immediately for any problems, like rats in our attic. They also do a yearly pest control for everything. They set traps and came out continuously to check them because I did not want to do it. They always have shown up on time, just as they said. I would overwhelmingly recommend them!

They are coming out on Friday to do the work. When they came out for the estimate, Mike was here and he was here right on time. He thoroughly explained what they did, and answered all of my questions for me. They have a very high rating on the list, and I can definitely see why. He spent quite a bit of time walking us around the house and showed us everything, and I was impressed that when he was finished, he said our house was in great shape and told us what our house did and didn't need to have done, so he didn't try to get us to do anything that we didn't need.

They were excellent, except I think that they sell more of an ongoing service. His warranty is only good if you keep paying for regular visits. A year later, I haven't had any problems yet. I wouldn't use him again only because I would want a warranty.
