Nothing wrong with the service, they came out when we said we had an issue, but didn't schedule follow-up/quarterly sprays. Also, did not put down outdoor barrier until I requested it.

The exterminator person was well-mannered and brought all the equipment needed; showing up on time. He did a thorough inspection of the home and determined what was needed. He seemed to have comprehensive knowledge on pest control. He explained to us what the problem was and what that meant to us. He answered all our questions to our satisfaction. He exercised due caution and did a meticulous treatment for the pests. He promptly came back again when needed. My wife and I believe we got good value for our money and our happy and satisfied with the results. Thank you Miller Pest Control!

The professionally dressed technician showed up 5 minutes early for the appointment. He asked what the problem was (ants) and then asked me some follow ups. This was outside spraying only for this price which was fine with me if it killed the little buggers. He went about his work and in about 10 minutes was finished and gone. No hard sell about follow-up contracts or service plans. It has been about 6 weeks and the ants have not shown back up. I plan to call them again next year if needed.
Description of Work: Had an ant problem that we had struggled with for years. Called another service (non-Angie's, a neighbor recommended) two years ago and the ants were back within a week.

Robby sprayed inside and out. He explained what he was going to do before starting and the type of spray he would be using. When he finished he asked if I had any questions and told me that since it was supposed to rain, if we got a lot and ants came back, to call and they would respray outside. I have never had a service spray for bugs before but I have had termite treatment and contracts. I have used Miller"s for termites for the past several years and would never use anyone else. As with the bug spray, they are always punctual, informative and honest. Really good company to deal with!
Description of Work: I purchased the outside spraying for ants and spiders. However, when I called to schedule the appointment I decided to have the inside sprayed for ants and spiders also for an additional $49.

[Member name removed], We apologize that you might not have understood the coupon. Angies list asked us to offer a $49 exterior treatment which is only valid for the exterior. We offered a inside treatment at an addition $49. We apologize for the miscommunication.

I've used these guys time and time again. They are always consistently well above average as far as professionalism, integrity and quality of work. I've had problems in the past with hidden fees with other providers, but that's not the case with these guys. This is a well run family owned business and that's where it's at. Nothing better than supporting home grown businesses. Trying to get this level of service from a chain company or any other pest control company for that matter has been a real feat. I guess it's the old needle in a haystack type deal. I HIGHLY recommend this company.

Excellent and immediate service was provided by Miller's. I purchased the special from Angie's List set up an appointment and the tech was on time and treated the outside of my home. The tech was very courteous and professional. He took the time to ask what type of pest control I was looking for and made and asked inquiring question to make sure he was providing the appropriate service.

He gave me the price. He gave me a time to expect his crew. His crew showed up promptly on time. They spent hours doing the job thoroughly. They were pleasant and educated me on several matters concerning 6-legged vermin. They charged exactly what I was told they would charge. They said if the problem returns within the year they will come back for nothing. The problem recurred 2-3 months later. I called. They came out promptly and re-did the job. No charge. We have been bug-free since then. I am pleased with the service: they did what they said they would do, they charged what they said they would charge, and they did their job well. What more can one ask?

The first appointment he never showed up, but billed me for it anyway. I protested the bill and never received a response. The second time the guy showed up and did the treatment. My basement had a horrible chemical smell for over a month. I have never had that experience before after a pest treatment. I paid the bill and then he sent me a past due notice for the original visit he never showed up for. I called and left a message again disputing the charge. I never heard back from them.

Response from Miller Pest & Termite
My guy was running behind for the 1st service, he called and no one answered. We didn’t get a call back making us think no one was home. We have a few new customers each month that setup new services and are not home and the service is never completed. We never had contact for 2 months and an appointment was set and completed. When the service order was posted it looked like this was a 2nd service and the 1st never was posted. The first service was $120 in this case and the 2nd was 80. We had a message from the home owner and we kept playing phone tag. Once the problem was discovered we got rid of extra charge

Our provider was over an hour later than we'd been told, plus we received no phone call informing us that he would be late. However, the gentleman was apologetic. He toured the premises to assess, then began the spraying. He spent nearly two hours with us. He explained each step as he went. He was personable and professional. We will receive follow-up appointments about every two months.
Description of Work: He assessed our situation, treated for multiple kinds of bugs and wasps, left traps for mice, and checked for termites. He sprayed inside and outside.

I apologize for our technician being late to your service without a phone call. Our technician ran into more issues than expected on his first service. I personally called ahead to let customers know he was running behind. I was planning on calling you if he was still running behind. That monday we had over 100 calls more than expected. We had a company meeting to renew our company pledge to provide on time service and proper communication if running behind. Sincerely Jerry Miller Owner

Description of Work: We use them for termite control and general bug control. I have used many pest services over the years but Miller has been the best., we have been using them for about 5 or 6 years.

Please see above. The service and professionalism was excellent.
Description of Work: I had a termite infestation in my garage, probably to be moving into my home. Miller's came out the day after I called, provided me with an estimate, and the next day, today, they were here to provide the service. I will definitely call them again when and/if I need pest control. Excellent service and very nice people to work with.
