I got the Angie's List Deal. ?Easy to purchase, no hassle to deal with the company. ?They said they typically wouldn't start to come out until May, but I e-mailed and let them know I had a wasp problem as soon as the weather warmed up in April and they scheduled a visit right away. ?So far, no wasps or bees this year - we'll see as summer approaches. ?But I'm happy and satisfied we can go out on our patio with our baby and not worry about being stung.

Each year our backyard seems to be inundated with Carpenter Bees and Yellow Jackets throughout the summer so when I saw the $95 Angie's List Big Deal being offered by Chem-Wise I jumped on it. The company is very professional and prompt. They came right out and did the service for the house. We have a detached garage, which was an additional $50. So far I'm very pleased but It's too early in the season to tell how well the service will actually prevent the bees and wasps. They did indicated they will come back out if there are problems.

I called Chemwise for a quote for lawn fertilization service after seeing an Angie's List coupon for them earlier in the season. Although the coupon had expired, I called because I had used them for pest control service a few years back and was very happy with it. I didn't know they also did lawns until I saw the coupon but knew they were a good company for pest control so decided to give them a try for the lawn. Got a quote for a season of lawn care, aeration, overseeding, fertilization, grub control. Good price, very efficient call experience. They had my property dimensions through a satellite photo so gave me exact quote over the phone. I agreed to the whole season program, they said I'd get a call in a day or two to schedule. More than 2 weeks later I got a call scheduling the first service for few days later. They never showed. Got a call in the evening saying the machine had broken they rescheduled for Saturday. Saturday they never showed and I never got a call. So I have lost faith in their ability to manage this program. Called Monday to cancel. I wonder if lawn care service is not their primary business. So if you need pest control, go ahead, they are good. My experience with them for lawn care was not good.

I bought a deal for the tri-annual treatment, which was $120 for the first treatment, plus $50 to treat the carpenter ant problems. The technician came out and inspected the whole property inside and out, and applied the appropriate bait. They returned about a week after to spray the exterior. About 10 days later, we noticed an uptick in carpenter ant activity inside the house. Chem-Wise guarantees their work, so when I called back to notify them that the carpenter ants hadn't been eradicated, then sent a tech out the next day. Service is punctual, polite and thorough. We're glad they will be returning two more times this season to spray the exterior, and it's comforting knowing that if we have further issues inside the home, that they will gladly come back out to retreat it. I highly recommend Chem-Wise if you have any insect problems.

Excellent. They are quick and dependable. We get technicians from the Berwyn office.
Description of Work: We get their tri-annual coverage, which was purchased to eliminate ants in our yard. Within days, they were gone. But the bonus is, we had a mouse, and the tri-annual coverage covered them to come and set up bait stations in our house-at not charge! Love them! We have kids, and our neighbor's have dogs, so we feel totally comfortable with them coming out and spraying, even the mouse bait stations are safe (nobody gets into them without a key). Just renewed our service.

The appointment was very convenient for me. I noticed more wasps a few months later and they came back and sprayed again no problem. They're going to do a lawn aeration for me and I don't even have to be there and that's great. I highly recommend them.

I am allergic to bee and wasp stings, so when I saw wasps flying into a bush by the back sliding door and they were aggressive towards me it was time to call an expert. Chem-Wise was running a special on Angie's, I purchased and they were in touch in a matter of minutes. We set a time for their services, and it didn't matter we weren't going to be around. They showed, exterminated, and when we returned no wasps. I couldn't recommend them more. The next time we need services they offer, they will be the only ones we call.

It is fine but overpriced. For one treatment outside, that was not completely effective at removing spiders and ants, I felt that I wasted a lot of money.

We were getting several dozen wasps in the house daily before the spraying; the next day after the spraying, there were none, although a few did get in a few days later, but basically, the problem was resolved.

Very knowledgeable and professional staff did a thorough review and set bait stations as appropriate. Sprayed basement for spiders. Two week followup located entry areas, These were fixed prohibiting future entry. Another two week followup resulted in no additional evidence of entry. No problems since. Everything was explained and all questions answered. Thanks to Michael and Rich. Would definitely recommend to others and use again if needed.
Description of Work: Locate entry areas for mice and sprayed basement for spiders. These areas were a result of contractors building the house approximately 20 years ago. Never had a problem until very recently.
