Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
Dear Valued Customer I am sorry you felt you did not get great service with our company. We greatly value your business and would like you happy with our services. After reviewing your account, I see there were no call back services completed after the initial visit. Your service is fully guaranteed and any additional services needed are done at no charge. You initially signed up for our Tri-Annual service but it sounds like you only want a single service. I will call you this week to speak with you about your services and confirm that you only wanted the single service. Alan Soemo Branch Manager

Pretty straightforward transaction. The person came by did what he was supposed to do. It has been over a year and I have not seen the wasp re-nest or congregate where they used to. He did say that this treatment is only for a year. It is past a year and they have not returned. I will hold it until next Spring when they typically return.

I had never had ants or any other type of pest in my condo in the 16 years I have lived here, so I was quite upset to see tiny ants appearing in my TV room about 2 months ago. I tried Terro, but it didn't seem to do much. So I made an appointment with Chem-Wise, and am glad I did. Rob arrived exactly on time, was very pleasant and professional, and explained what type of ants they were and what needed to be done. He baited the baseboards as well as the exterior of our small condo building, and gave me some printed material on how to avoid ant infestations in the future. The estimate I was given over the phone when I made the appointment was what Rob charged. I am to let Chem-Wise know if I'm still seeing ants 2 weeks after the treatment, and it has been only a few days, so the end result is still to be seen, but so far I'm happy with the service.
Description of Work: Baited the baseboards in the room where tiny ants had been appearing.

Called and scheduled for an early morning visit. I wanted to be at home to observe the spraying of my house to ensure that all the problematic areas where bees and wasps like to try and build a nest were sprayed. I was told that they will show up and just spray and leave a receipt. However, when I waited at the appointed time to observe the treatment, no one showed up. I checked and found the receipt that they had shown up even earlier than my scheduled time. However, I did not see any evidence of treatment but the spraying might have dried since they showed up an hour before my scheduled time. What worried me is that perhaps they never even sprayed or might not have gotten all the problematic areas. I have waited all season to see if any bees or wasps attempted to build a nest as last year was bad. So far so good as no bees or wasps have come near the house this year. I will probably try them again next season but I will have to stress that I want to be present during treatment.

The Chem-Wise rep, Ryan, sprayed externally for spiders, and we have noticed a marked decrease in the number we see in the house. The mouse problem is a little more work, but Ryan has returned every two weeks to refresh bait, close newly discovered holes, and steadily decrease the areas in which they can get in. We have seen the number of bait stations that are being eaten grow smaller each week, and have found many dead mice outside the house. We are very happy with the attentive service and the dedication to solving the problem!

It worked out fine. It was a three month program where I continue to purchase their services for three months. They came out when they said they were going to and they got rid of the problem we had. I wasn't home by the time they came so it was just an initial phone call. They need to do a follow-up after the service is performed.

It went well enough. We have seen a reduction of bug activity; however, we still had bugs. I am sure with more consistent service, the treatments would eliminate the bugs; however at $120 for the first service and $79 for each subsequent service we will manage.

I bought an Angie's List deal to lower the price. They are using a satellite image to quote. They said I had more land grass and it is impossible. I would never use them again. I don't think they were straightforward with their quoting. They did change the pricing and it was misleading. I bought the special, they ran an Angie's List special and so I signed up for it and paid for it. Then they came back with some satellite images and said 'oh no, we have to charge you more', it is kind of a bait and switch. I know that I have got a ton of trees, I have got my house, I have got a pool, a deck and a shack and a lot of mulch areas and so there is no way that it was more than it should have been.
Description of Work: The service was for a big deal from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management Services. They did the seeding and the aeration.

After me freaking out about bee's, and having an appt already set for Wed morning-the office staff was absolutely great about changing my appt to 30 minutes later that day due to the fact I came home from work and the bee's were ALL over, and I was panicked.. .And the tech came out, was very courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable about the problems going on. I also used them for bug issues in the warehouse at my job. Again, very prompt, and so nice. I highly highly recommend this company for your needs. Thank you!!!!

I think the price was a little high but overall we were happy with the service provided. These wasps were up by our front door and was causing trouble to our kids. We had Orkin contracted but they never responded. We were very disappointed with Orkin's service and we looked up Angie's list to see this company who promptly responded and performed service.
Description of Work: The company responded to our call and came out to perform the service on time. They only did one round of chemical spraying and we have not noticed any bees or wasps to date. They were professional and on time to perform the service.

This is a rental property and the provider of the service did not communicate with the owner of the property. Explained to the tenant the problems and did not tell the landlord. We, the landlord were not given a report because we were out of town when this situation hit, and responded promptly. We are still waiting for report. We would use them again for the insect service they provided in the past.

see my comments above ! Good company but people who service the clients make the difference!! I continue to use them for future treatments - will wait to see results
Description of Work: Spray for bees in the back yard. I signed up for this through Angie deal but decided to enter into an annual contract for pest control for the house. I don't think Bee spraying was effective and did not eliminate the problem. I was happy with their pest control treatment as well as follow up on a potential mice issue in the basement. The fellow who did the follow up was very patient and did a good job of helping isolate entry points in the house. The original tech was too rushed and did not do a thorough job. I guess you should never engage a tech for more work than what they were scheduled to perform that day, even though company is getting more revenue!

Description of Work: The service provider came out and sprayed for bees in the front and back of my house. They noticed a whole with a nest and sprayed it. They proceeded to look around the whole structure of the house and the surrounding shrubs in the back and front of the house. The did a very good job spraying and wearing booties through the house. They told me if I saw bees they would be back out. I did end up seeing bees about a week later and the company came right back out and fogged some nests. They were punctual and courteous and didn't charge me a penny. they got the job done!

Steve, called a day earlier than the scheduled appointment. He was in my neighborhood, and offered to come by immediately. That was great! He bravely donned his protective gear, physically destroyed the nest hidden under a bush, and applied the appropriate "magic dust." Haven't seen one of these nasty bugs since.

I selected Chem-Wise because they had good reviews and it had been years since my lawn had been aerated. The gentleman arrived around 4pm. This was a little bit of disappointment because I had it in my mind that they were coming in the morning. This I'm sure was my oversight. It was a very hot day and he worked hard to aerate the front side and back yards. He also did the parkways. After aerating he seeded the lawn. When he left he gave us some information on watering. I was very happy with the service provided. The only oversight is when they left they forgot to shut the back gate tightly (luckily I checked before our puppy found it).
