These guys were wonderful. Chad brushed all the cobwebs from the house and garage, and then did a thorough job spraying along the eaves and foundation. I am very sensitive to chemicals, but couldn't smell anything and felt good knowing it was non-toxic. Jordan crawled into several small crawlspaces under our older home and sprayed for spiders. Almost all the ants died the first day, and after the 2nd day we have only seen an occasional ant way out in our back yard. There haven't been any near the house or garage. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't seen a single spider in the house.
Description of Work: We had several different kinds of ants in different locations near our patio and garage and they were increasing in number with the warm weather. Chad and Jordan came out to check out the problem and give us a bid. For just a little extra, they said they could also go into the crawl spaces under our house and spray for spiders. I never considered this before because I assumed it would involve the use of toxic chemicals. This company uses a non-toxic, odorless spray made from plants.

We were given to understand that since this is a green service, it would take longer to take effect, and it did. Finally, after several months and several recalls, the majority of the ants were gone. But, we've still had a few in the house and when we started doing spring yard work we found tons of ants in the beds around the house.
Description of Work: They are pricey. We had to call them back a couple of times to get the problem taken care of and they did come, though it seemed reluctantly. Their product may be safe and ecologically friendly but I'm not sure it does the best job. After a year, we still have ants.

We really liked them because they used non-toxic chemicals. We have a little 2-year-old and what they sprayed could be used around children and pets. I wasn't there so I really don't know what they did but I haven't had any ants. I am happy with it. They were very thorough on the phone. They quoted me what they would do and what it would cost. They didn't try to upsell when they came out. They did what they said they were going to do and it has seemed to have solved the problem. We didn't compare their prices. They came when they said they would.
Description of Work: We used Alpha Ecological because we had ants in the house so they sprayed inside and outside.

They were great. They came back and did a short series. They came back 2 or 3 times. They were easy to work with. They were quick. Their treatment worked. I haven't had any trouble since. I would use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Alpha Ecological for pest control. They treated the inside only.

They did a good job getting rid of the mice and termites. They came out right away, and I think they are expensive. I'll use them in the future.
Description of Work: We use Alpha Ecological for pest control services. They come out every quarter.

I called them because I was interested in something a little less toxic. There is a lot of info on their website. Even though the scheduling is a little more California (less local, local personal) than I am used to the tech was very knowledgeable in his pest identification and explanation of the product. I am happy.
Description of Work: Spider control for house and large shop.

Since they have been spraying, I haven't had any spiders in my house or anything. They don't use normal poisons in their sprays. They claim that insects and spiders build up a tolerance to it. Whatever they use is made from plants. Obviously, it has worked, but I don't have to worry about kids or dogs.
Description of Work: They spray around the house and yard quarterly.

I have two cats and the nice thing is that I didn't have to lock them up when they sprayed the inside. My friend who recommended them to me had a one-year old baby and she didn't have to remove him from the house. It is very safe spray. It is all natural and it is a green company. They have been to my house two times. I have had ants for the 10 years that I have lived in this home and it has been a battle. The first company I used was kind of okay. This time was the first year that I haven't had an indoor battle with them. I was scheduled in October and they called me very apologetically. They said that the technician was sick and asked if they could reschedule for the next day. I agreed and the next day the regional manager came to work with me.
Description of Work: I have a service contract with Alpha Ecological. They were here in October. They put down traps and they sprayed for spiders.
