Had carpenter bee problem as well as chronic minor issues with hornet nests around the house in summers past. Two visits seem to have stopped the carpenter bees this summer, and the preventative treatment around the house seems to have kept away the hornets too.

Cory performed the work above in a professional manner and went through what we should expect over the next few days. I'm glad he did as we saw an increase in ant activity initially but then none after about two weeks. So far we are very happy with the service.
Description of Work: Cory arrived at the time and date expected and explained what he was going to do. He inspected the basement and where he found evidence of ants or bugs he applied the appropriate treatment. He then treated the unfinished portion of our basement for ants and bugs, He then treated the exterior of the house for the same ants and bugs. We had also asked for the wasp treatment which he duly carried out.

We had some ants in our home and they did a spray treatment. They did a good job. They were very responsive and came out at our scheduled time. We have not had any issues with the ants since they sprayed.

Last year around this time we had a flying ant infestation and called another firm which dealt with it fine but for whatever reason I didn't want to call them back. However the technician left behind their gel treatment for my own use which kills colonies by virtue of the ants carrying it back to their lair. So I used it again when I first saw these things and over the next two days, while they reappeared on the morning sun-warmed drapes, they were near-dead and would just drop to the floor when shaken. But because it was continuing, my wife wanted someone called. I called Chem-Wise (because of their good Angie's grades and their green stance since we have two indoor cats) and my interaction with them is why I am compelled to submit a report. They didn't do any work for us because the person I dealt with was very nice and professional and listen to all that I'd done already and came to the conclusion that I should probably hold off on hiring them for the time being and to let the ant poison I used to fully take affect as the results can take around a week to really do its job. So I thanked her and told her I REALLY appreciated her not giving me a hard sell. I was very impressed with that. If these ants do persist for the next week I will definitely call them back and book them.
Description of Work: I called for an ant problem that I may or may not have taken care of myself.

We have battled ants for years. (The little ones that love food of any kind). After years of trying (and sometimes winning) to control them ourselves, I had had enough and called for a service. Love these guys! No need for multiple services if you don't want them (unlike some of the other big guys where you are locked in). Price is very reasonable and they do a nice job. We signed up for their 3 step service and have had the first step done. They will be back in July and again in the fall. Highly recommend.

They were fine. They were incredibly responsible. They came the day after I called them. They have a yearlong guarantee of their program. We were really impressed by their phone contact and in person meeting. They showed up on time and did a great job. They were personable. I rate them high overall, and I will use them in the future.

This company was fabulous and we got the Angie's List price special. We have a large two-story house and the nests were up very high. Would not hesitate to use in the future and may be looking at them for lawn care next spring. I checked their website out. Quite an impressive pedigree.

I thought they were good. They were also flexible. They sprayed all over the house as they were trying to get rid of bees and ants. Their quality of work is good. So far, we haven't had any problems with the ants or bees. If there is a need, I would definitely use them again in the future too.

This is the third time that I have used this provider and I was extremely happy when I saw the Special discount being offered for wasp control this year via Angie's List. The company contacted me in order to schedule the service which was excellent ! Friendly, efficient and very accommodating. I highly recommend this provider above others offering similar services. Additionally, the application technician was exemplary, very personable and an excellent envoy for the company.

The service rep came on time and explained the service in detail. I explained that I have been having an issue with wasps getting in the house but have been unable to find where they are coming in. He checked the basement area as that is where we have been finding the wasps. He did a very thorough inspection even going on the roof to see if he could determine if the wasps were coming in via the fireplace chimney. He sprayed the entire house and assured me that if I continue to have a problem all I have to do is call and he will be back. It's been a week and I haven't had any wasps in the house. I am very pleased and confident that if I have an issue in the future that they will be back out. Would definitely recommend their service. I might consider signing up for the tri-annual program next year

We have been problems with some very aggressive and large bees that have scared my kids and nanny in the backyard. I called Chem-Wise after booking the special Angie's List deal online and they were able to schedule an appointment within a week. The technician showed up in the time window specified and located carpenter bees in the fence on my neighbor's side of the yard. He was thorough, friendly and polite, and explained their nature as well. In addition, Chem-Wise guarantees that if they come back that they will spray again within a year's time. My family can now enjoy our backyard again.

Thank you for your report. I would like to emphasize the fact that we do choose the least toxic materials available that are mixed at a very low level of concentrated insecticide to water ratio. Typical ratio is 8 oz. of material per 50 gallons of water! Our key to successful control is the manner in which the material is applied, primarily outside of your home where the pests look to enter. Because our products are a water-based material they are safe once dried, typically about 30 minutes to an hour & there is no oily residue left behind.

I purchased service from Chem-Wise Pest Management through one of the offers from Angie's list wasp proofing. They contacted me and reminded me that I had purchased this service. I called and scheduled the service, they arrived on the specified day and within the time frame specified. The service technician seemed to do a thorough job and I have not had a problem with bees or wasps to date. They guaranteed this service and I won't hesitate to call if I have problems with bees or wasps in the future.

The guy got there early, completed the work. Rung the bell and waited for us to wake up (he was an hour early). Great guy, he showed us possible places to keep an eye out and also knocked down some existing small nests. He also pointed out that we had a bat in our gazebo! Would definitely use them again.

Sorry for the early arrival, I am glad it wasn't an issue! As for the nests, we will always try our best to remove what is reachable... even if we have to use our extension ladder and a painters pole. If we cannot reach the nest we can still treat it to ensure it is inactive. If you have any issues with stinging insects nesting on or around the home for the remainder of this calendar year we will return upon no charge to treat. Thanks for your business!

I bought Chem-Wise's Angie's list deal for bee-proof spraying my house. I then called Chem-Wise and set up an appointment for them perform the service. They said they would begin spraying services in May and we set a date. Luke arrived at the time appointed, introduced himself and before beginning the job, explained that other clients had spoken to Chem-Wise about the spray dripping down windows after their spraying job. I have 3 foot overhangs around my house and Luke explained that the spray would be dripping off the undersurface for about an hour after he left so I should be careful if stepping outside. He completed the job efficiently and left. My only annoyance was the drip lines down my floor to ceiling windows in some of the rooms but he'd warned me that could happen. Good and friendly service; I recommend them to anyone.

Thank you for posting your response, we truely appreciate all feedback. I am glad you had a pleasant experience with our service and most of all Luke. The service is extremely effective; however it is hard for us to prevent that dripage onto the windows. We do try to minimize the amount of material dripping, but no way to prevent. The good news is that it is a water based material that is not hard to remove. Thanks for you business and hope you will call us back in the future.
