All went very well. The Pest Control Tech was great. He did inform me that they are no longer called Exterminators. He was very knowledgeable and I trusted his words. He sprayed around the exterior of the house. Every morning I would see spider webs in my kitchen window but since the treatment, I have not seen any. I purchased the deal for future seasonal treatments. I am happy.

Very disappointed that the technician did not bring a ladder. He had difficulty reaching (spraying up to) the nests that were in the highest eaves, but other than that, service was fine. He also sprayed a foot or so into/under the deck, where he could reach, but the side boards prevented him from reaching all the way under. Most of the wasps were gone within 3-4 days, but still have the one nest high up in the eaves.
Description of Work: Sprayed the wasp nests in the eaves of the house; destroyed the nests he could reach.

They were very professional and on time. They set traps inside the house and also checked around outside for areas the mice were getting in. We still have mice from time to time, not as bad as it was, and Chem-Wise has been very diligent in coming back and checking the traps for us. They will come out anytime you call to check traps. We will continue to use them.
Description of Work: We were having a problem with mice in the basement crawl space. They set traps, came back to check them and dispose of any mice that were dead.

When I called the company, the woman on the phone asked how I'd heard about them. When I told her Angie's List, she recommended that I purchase the deal through Angie's list, to save money. She waited on the phone while I did that, then scheduled someone to come out within the next day or two (I can't recall, but it was quick.) Not only did they get rid of the problem bees, they "bee proofed" our entire house. We have a very wide house, and they went around the entire home to make sure the bees didn't make another nest somewhere else. Very quick service, very reasonable price!

Provider set bait traps for mice and inspected basement, family room and garage and find out where they were coming in. He was able to rule out the garage. He returned a week later and mice had been caught. He reset bait traps and put steel wool in small probable entry places. He also showed me two bigger places where wood had rotted which were probable entry points and said I needed to get a handyman or carpenter to replace the wood. He came back a third time several weeks later, and confirmed that there were no additional mice. Steve was very professional and I highly recommend him and his company.

Our appointment was scheduled in a timely manner, the tech showed up on time, and he quickly analyzed the problem areas with me. For years we have dealt with bees boring holes in our eaves and soffits. One Chem Wise application in May, and we haven't seen a carpenter bee since. Really nice that it did not affect the bees in the flower garden ( the good ones) only the nasty big ones that do the damage to our old wood home. Very satisfied with Chem-Wise service.

We called them out to get an estimate on removing some wasp nests on our shed, and maybe check out an ant situation. I showed the guy the nests on the shed, and told him to take care of them, and went back inside the house. Before I knew it, he had sprayed the entire front of my house with bug spray, all the way up on our eaves, so it was dripping down all over the place. When I went to open the garage door to get my daughter to the bus stop, the chemicals were literally dripping all over the place when the door went up, we couldn't even get out of the house and had to go around back. That this guy NEVER thought to mention to me -- what he was going to do with the treatment blows my mind. I didn't have time to talk to him because I had to get my kids to school and even then had no idea the extent of how much he sprayed. He never told me what he was going to do, and I would NEVER have approved it -- I have two small children and a dog that are constantly in and out. Plus my HOUSE didn't need to be treated -- our shed was the issue. I quick wrote him a check for $195 because I had to get my daughter to school and then when I got back home, noticed the estimate for the wasp treatment that was typed on the invoice was only $85. They overcharged us and over-treated our home, without informing us of what they were going to do -- or even ASKING if we wanted to have all that sprayed. Do not call these guys. The office our receipt is from is from Rolling Meadows. I don't know if the other offices are better, but I do know Point Pest Control was a much better outfit that we used in the past. They were NEVER so careless.

Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
Dear Valued Customer I am sorry to hear of your bad experience with Chem-Wise. After talking with the technician and office staff that took the call from your husband, it seems there was some miscommunication about your service. Your husband called wanting the wasp proofing service just like we completed last year for you. He also was interested in service for carpenter ants. The office person he spoke with informed him that the service for the carpenter ants was $215 and if he added the wasp proofing it would be a discounted to $85. Since the carpenter ant service wasn't needed the cost for the wasp proofing is $195. Due to the offices conversation with your husband, the technician was under the impression that the wasp proofing service was the main reason for the call which is why he completed the service. I understand your concern about the chemicals used dripping down from the soffit area. The dripping typically stops with-in a few minutes after the application and poses no danger to your children or pets. At this point we have refunded your money for the wasp proofing service due to the miscommunication about the service. Alan Soemo Branch Manager

Sprayed for wasps--and that did the job. The rodent problem continues. I think I need to find a provider to identify where they are getting in and to rectify that issue in order to really get rid of the problem. While the poison seems to work--the mice or voles appear to be bringing their friends--and when I found one dead in the basement, I got visions of other carcasses lurking elsewhere. However, I would highly recommend for bug abatement.

Excellent experience! Appointment was quickly scheduled. Employee provided full explanation of what would be done. Made sure I understood terms (ie., if I saw additional activity after giving the poison a chance to work, I should call them back and they'd come back to finish the job). Work done quickly and thoroughly, and no return visit was necessary.

The first visit was very thorough. It entailed meeting with the technician and an indoor and outdoor spray of the house. Everything was explained to me as to what to expect after the spray such as I would see more dead ants over the next couple of weeks because the spray is working. Everything happened as explained. I like the product because it is ecofriendly, there is no odor or residue. The subsequent treatments only involve outside spraying and was provided on time. Overall, a good experience.

I had carpenter bees around the entire house, eating away holes in the wood siding. After purchasing the deal, I was quickly able to schedule an appointment. I didn't need to be home, so they came and treated the house and left a receipt. Over a month later and have not seen any bees.

Service man came out and sprayed the whole house and our shed where they had started a fourth nest. So far, any wasps we see which have been few and far between, seem to know not to come here anymore! Thank you! They even gave us a special discount for mentioning we found them on Angies List.
