Please see the above question.
Description of Work: James arrived on time and did a great job of covering every area of concern. Last year Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management Services came out and addressed a serious problem with a yellow jacket nest under our air conditioning unit. James examined the footing of the unit and did not find evidence of a new nest. He applied the solution to the area of the air conditioning unit, the house and our shed. James removed two wasp nests on the shed and several pests flew out as the solution was applied.

I've been able to use my deck with no issues this year after being overrun by wasps the last several year. I will absolutely use them again next spring. The man was very helpful and pay special attention to my areas of concerns. He also knocked down some nests I didn't even know where there. What was really nice is that there is no residue odor left at all! Highly recommend!

Was very happy with this experience. On the day of our appointment he called to let me know he was actually ahead of schedule and asked if it would be okay for him to arrive 15 minutes early. I wasn't home at the time, but I told him to go ahead, and he was wrapping up just as I arrived. He explained the work he did and gave some recommendations for further measures that would also save me money. Our home has wood siding, so it's common for us to see large bees flying around our gutters every spring. But we haven't seen any bees flying around after this treatment by Chem-Wise. I plan on using them again in the future, especially if they offer this $95 deal through Angie's List.

Dear Valued Angie's List Customer, I'm really sorry that our office did not contact you to schedule a follow up service.

The inspector, who acted very professionally, assured me that because I had just installed new glass block windows for the basement, the only way rats could get in was through either the front or back basement doors. He provided me with some traps (mouse size) and seemed satisfied that rats would not get into my basement. The only complaint that I have is that I think that the price was a bit high for such a quick inspection. From what I could see, and from what I know about rat abatement (very little), he did do a good job.
Description of Work: We have a rat problem in the neighborhood, and I've seen some mice in my apartment. I used a common mice trap that eliminated the two that I saw (over a long interval between the two). I was concerned about rats entering my house so I contracted for this service.

Dear Angie's List Member, Thank you for providing a review of the experience you had with Chem-Wise. As we strive for complete customer satisfaction we would like to know what may have been done to provide you with an experience greater than a "C" overall. As I reviewed your account I see that the service provided was a Big Deal purchased through Angie's List. This was the $95 mouse and spider prevention, and this service is typically valued at $290. Thank you again, and please provide any other insight or feedback that will allow us to continue to better our customer satisfaction. Sincerely, Kevin McClernon, ACE Branch Manager

During this season Chem wise was extremely busy, but they were able to send someone out within a few days. He arrived at night, around 8pm. However, even though he arrived late he did not rush the job he sprayed the entire house and fence. However, a day later we still seen bees flying around. We called Chem Wise back and they sent out the same guy again to respray and place powder in between crevices. We didn't see another bee... or bug for that matter. I will use them this summer as well!

I believe it was Alex who came out to spray around the parameter of the house. We also have a wooden arbor where carpenter bees drilled into too. Alex sprayed and also inserted the powder into the holes. Hopefully they won't be back! He was on time and very polite and professional. I like the fact that they guarantee until the end of the year so if we have any additional problems we'll be able to have them back at no charge.

It went great for several weeks, but we did see some activity later in the year. I did not get a chance to call them I just sprayed them. So I am not sure if they would have come back and take care of it, but they are very professional and scheduled the appointment immediately.

Chem-Wise just performed the services on 5/26/15, so obviously, I don't know the results or effectiveness of the treatment. However, I was very pleased with Chem-Wise's professionalism and responsiveness when communicating with them. I purchased a deal from Angie's list ($95 coupon for $195 of service).

We have used Chen-Wise before. They are very professional and on time. The technician knows what he is doing and listens carefully to our concerns. We tend to get ants coming into our house in the spring and fall. Chem-Wise treats the inside - everywhere we may see the ants, in the cracks and out of the way so our pets do not come into contact with the poison. Then Chen-Wise treats the outside - completely around the house. We do not see an insect again. We definitely recommend Chem-Wise to everyone.

Ever since the work was performed, we have noticed an almost elimination of those bugs around the immediate outside of our house. We had not moved into our new house yet, however, it was nice to do so without worrying that the moving crew would track ants into the house. I appreciate the work the service person performed and look forward to the rest of our contract through the year.

Technician arrived on time as scheduled. He was thorough in his search for the hangouts of our unwanted house guests. He laid traps which were totally safe for our nosy dogs and gave instructions on how to monitor them. He came back twice at scheduled intervals to check on the progress. Mice gone! Price was as stated without any additional fees.

Comminication was very good. The provider called to schedule the appointment to do the work. We had to reschedule a few times due to broken machinery, weather, wrong equipment, etc. So the work was done a lot later than I had originally anticipated. But they communicated well throughout the entire process.

The service actually took 3 visits just to be absolutely sure we got all intruders stopped. Jim did a great job with bait traps and outside blocking of all holes that might let rodents enter. I couldn't be happier. I am purchasing the bee and wasp protection this week. Highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: I was out of town for a family emergency for an extended amount of time. I had my house watched by neighbors and family but they did not notice I had little rodent visitors. I had this problem when a nearby road was constructed and called a different company. I was not impressed with their service. Before I left town I purchased a "deal" from Angie's List so I would be ready to deal with any future problems. While I was out of town my coupon expired. I called Chem-Wise and explained my situation and the owner said he would honor my original coupon. Jim came out and assessed the situation. He told me it would take at least 2 visits to be sure we had all critters taken care of completely. He worked his magic! Well done service. Feel confident we stopped the invaders.
