Great. Very responsive and professional.
Description of Work: Put out bait boxes for mice, cleaned up dead mice and droppings, and recommended that I seal up some areas around the foundation to prevent further entry to the mice.

I will use this service again this year. Our eave areas seemed to attract a lot of wasps. After spraying, we had no further problems during the rest of the season.

I had visitors come and stayed for 4 days and they brought roached into my home. I called this service to get this taken care of. they came very professional and did what they had to do. In a week and a half, they were no longer around. I am very happy I contacted this company. I saw results quickly and I am happy they are all gone! They told me if I were to see even 1 more, to contact them right away and they will come to spray again at no charge. I like that because they stay behind their word and product. Not many companies do this. Thank so much!

The service worked out fine. We have not had any problems and I would recommend them to a family member or a neighbor. They came out promptly and did what they said they would do and at that point, they told me about their maintenance plan which I bought at that time. Now, I am just expecting that they will start doing that regularly.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal for Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management Services. They did general pest treatment around the house. I bought one of their packages where I pay a yearly fee for them to come out three or four times a year to re-apply. It is like a pest maintenance package.

It went very smoothly. We asked that the technician call when he was 15-20 minutes away so we can get the dogs situated, and he did both times. The company provided an hour window for arrival, and both times he arrived at the beginning of the appointment. One of our concerns is one of our dogs is too curious for his own good and eats everything (and I mean everything), so we didn't want poison or traps in the house. (We had those white plastic ant baits hidden around the house and he still got to one, ate it, and got sick.) The technician reassured us that it would take 3-4 bait treats for our dog to get sick. The bait treats aren't openly exposed--they are placed in black housing compartments that allow the mice to enter, eat, and leave (and presumably die outside). The technician allowed our dog to sniff the 'treat' and play around with the compartment. He couldn't open the compartment immediately, so we knew he was safe. The technician was at the house for no more than 20 minutes per visit. He was very professional and friendly. We cleaned the areas before the first visit and after the second visit. The company said if we find droppings after the second visit, to call them and they'll send the technician for a complimentary third visit. We haven't seen any droppings since the second visit. We are very happy with the service the company provided. They provide four seasonal treatments throughout the year, and we will likely use their services. They said they call before each treatment to confirm we want the service, and they will be outside treatments unless we have a specific problem inside the house (so we won't even have to be home to obtain these services). Overall, we were very satisfied with the service and the results!
Description of Work: We were having a problem with mice in the kitchen, and found droppings in one of the bedroom closets. The service composed of two visits. During the first one, the technician placed bait in five places, and sprayed the basement for spiders (that's included in the winter treatment package). Two weeks later, the technician returned to check the bait, replaced it with a new one to be on the safe side; and inspected the outside perimeter of the home and sealed any suspecting entry ways.

It worked out fairly well. However I was unsatisfied on the determination where the pests were getting through. He gave me his idea where the pests were coming through -- under the stoop under the front door -- which I thought was wrong, because the foundation was still there and the same thing was happening at the back stoop. The professional came out 2 times and was at the at the home for a total of 3 hours. The company never followed up with me about my previous experience; they just called me for additional services.

Steve was terrific - actually, I had had him before for a carpenter bee problem and he did a great job on that, too - very punctual, professional and kind. And the person who does the scheduling at Chem-Wise is very accommodating. A couple of the entry points will require a handyman to dig up rotten wood and replace it, and I won't know until spring if those entry points are the main problem or not - the ground is too hard to do that work now. But Steve put steel wool in the entry places he could reach.
Description of Work: Provider examined basement, garage and other places to determine entry points of the mice, set bait traps, came back second time and confirmed that many mice had come into the basement, eaten the bait and left, and then he came back a third time to check the bait traps.

We had a bad carpenter bee problem in the backyard. Our screened in porch had a lot of wood damage from the holes the bees created. No matter what we did, they kept coming back year after year and getting worse. After the company treated it, we had no bee problem all summer. We are so grateful. We can use our backyard again without getting swarmed by carpenter bees.
Description of Work: They sprayed and treated the whole home with an Eco-Friendly Bee and Wasp Proofing solution. They also treated the the swing set. They were very friendly on the phone and explained things really well.

It is a good deal but I am allergic to bees. When they took the beehive off they got into the soffit. There was a little bit of the hive left so I was going to call in the spring in case we see them back. They were very helpful.

I gave an overall "C" rating because they did not do everything they were supposed to do and the services that were provided were too costly for the work that was done. I purchased an Angie's List special for mice and spider winter exclusion. They came and set preventative mouse bait traps (I've seen similar traps @ the big box stores), but nothing was done regarding spiders. When I questioned why nothing was being done about spider exclusion, the rep looked at me like I was crazy. They either need to rename the special or actually do something about spider exclusion too.

Your service is fully guaranteed for 90 days and any additional visits needed are done at no charge. The exclusion that was mentioned in the ad was for mice entry points.

The woman who made the appointment was great, as was the gentleman who came to my home. My new home's basement was mouse infested, and I actually killed all the mice with the help of another provider before hiring Chem-Wise, but when I saw the "Big Deal" I hired Chem-Wise because I wanted to be sure there were no possible entries that I missed. No more mice so far this winter and I haven't seen any spiders either.
Description of Work: The provider checked for possible rodent entry, and sprayed for spiders. Also left plastic boxes with mouse poison.

They first assessed where the droppings were and possible entry points. Next they laid food boxes in those areas and other possible areas. They came back a week later to see what and where the food was eaten. They sealed up all the possible areas. Then they came back a week later to make sure non of the food was eaten and cleanup any dead rodents. Haven't spotted any rodents or droppings since.

Great. A second technician came out about two week later and checked on all the traps. No mice were found in the traps and the traps were reset. Both techs seemed knowledgeable and were very professional. We had mice before but I think the techs covered the holes the mice used to get into the house.
Description of Work: The first technician set up traps on the ground floor, basement and in the garage of our home. He also sprayed into the corners of the basement for spider control. Small holes in our crawl space were covered also.

Arrived on time, and worked steadily. Unfortunately the ants were more pervasive than I had thought, but that was not a problem. They just kept going. Very professional. I've been sweeping up dead ants today, so things are looking up! I also enjoyed the Angie's list price reduction, not just on this item, but on future work! Update: After three weeks I found a few more more ants. They came out a second time and retreated the area -- for free, and no questions asked. Great way to do business!!!
