They came on the day scheduled, performed the work for a reasonable price. Within a month we had wasps swarming at our back door, so I would say that whatever they use is not effective. We have used other services in previous years and not seen a wasp the rest of the year. Had the house re-treated with our old company. No problems anymore.

They did great job. I would recommend them and there services. They go above and beyond for customer service and support.
Description of Work: We used coupon. Kevin accommodated me on Saturday because we had huge hornets nest at eye level in tree near house and sidewalk where families walk by. He had his technician Michael find time in his busy schedule to fit in this job.. He removed hornets nest, bees nest, wasp nest and dirt/ mud divers. Well with it! Very professional and highly recommend them and there services.

This is the third year we've made use of the Angie's List Deal for Chem-Wise Wasp Prevention. We had always had a huge problem with wasps prior to using them. But have had no problems other than a stray wasp occasionally. We definitely recommend this service and have to all of our neighbors.

I was able to get an appointment within a couple of days of my call. Tim arrived on time. He looked at the patio door where I had been seeing the ants and wanted to see the basement. We went down to the basement to see if he could identify where the ants were coming from. Tim moved some shelves around so he could examine the perimeter of the basement where the joists meet the concrete. He also removed some pieces of insulation and examined each piece for evidence. He also examined the floor and shelves. Tim found some suspicious areas which he vacuumed. He told me that he wanted to vacuum so that I could monitor for evidence of ants after he had completed the treatment. Tim sprayed the area near the joists and replaced the insulation and shelves. He put some gel in the area between the patio door and floor. He also sprayed the perimeter of the house. Tim assured me that the treatment would not effect my cats. He instructed me to keep the cats out of the basement while he sprayed and assured me that they would not be able to get into the gel that he placed into the crack between my patio door and floor. Once the treatment was done Tim reviewed a document with tips to help me keep my home free of ants. He left me with a copy of the document. It's been a week and a half and I don't see ants or any evidence of their handiwork. I thought that the cost of the service might be a little high, but I am pleased with the results.
Description of Work: Provider sprayed for ants - I had been seeing some wood shavings (at least that's what it looked like to me) inside and outside of our patio door.

We had a massive infestation of carpenter bees. They came out treated the areas where the bees had created nests. The first application was about 80% successful but our problem was so huge some holes where missed and they came back a couple more times and treated those holes. I've gone back and sealed the holes with wood putty and haven't seen a carpenter bee in weeks. They are super responsive and did a great job we'd definitely use them again.

I was very pleased with Chem-Wise Pest Management. The office girl was very informative and very prompt in setting up an appointment. The service technician was prompt, listened to my concerns, explained in detail what he was going to do and asked me if I had any questions before he started. I received a $25.00 discount for being a Angie's member. I am happy to report that my ants & wasps are staying away from my house!
Description of Work: They treated the house, inside & out for pavement ants. They also removed some wasp nests & treated the affected area with a preventative wasp pesticide.

I have to say that they went above and beyond. About a week later I saw a couple of carpenter bees returning to their old roost and called Amber. She waylaid my fears and told me what to watch for. The bees have not returned. We have had a wonderful summer without the stinging pests and I will surely have Chemwise perform this service every spring.
Description of Work: Sprayed the outside of our house for wasps and bees. They were very thorough and even went up in my garage attic where I saw carpenter bee holes.

Two visits, both punctual. The service itself takes only about 20 minutes. We called them back about two weeks later when the ants reemerged after heavy rains. We haven't seen any ants since the second application. I don't have the invoice handy, but the price seemed reasonable and there was no charge for the follow-up service.

They are wonderful! They set up an appointment, arrive promptly, and take care of the problem. They also provide a guarantee so if we see any insects, they will come back for free and apply another treatment. I also like that their treatments are environmentally friendly.
Description of Work: Every July like clockwork we have an infestation of wasps that burrow deep into our front flower garden. Then they come out in and swarm around our front porch. We have had Chem-Wise come out the last 2 years and I"m calling them again tomorrow to take care of this problem. They have also come out to get rid of bees.

The technician, Earnest, was very professional and helpful. He answered all my questions and was very polite. He told me what to expect after the treatment and how I have 90 days' worth of guarantee. He also called to confirm the appointment and called again when he was close by so I could put my dog in her cage....very helpful.

Very friendly and professional. Listened to my suggestions about previous wasps' nests on our property and treated those areas as well as others where he typically finds wasps nests. Told me he would return any time this summer to treat a nest that forms. So far, we are wasp-free!

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service. This did not work out so well. I called them out to do some wasp treatment around my home. After their treatment the problem did not go away so I contact some other people who came out to do the service all over again. These other people said the wasp hives were still active and they had not died out.

Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
Dear Valued Angie's List Customer, I am sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with the service that was performed on your home back in April of 2012. Most of our bee and wasp treatments only require a one time treatment however, sometimes it is necessary to come back out and retreat certain areas. All of the services we provide here at Chem-Wise come with a full guarantee of satisfaction. The service that was performed at your home last year was guaranteed until 12/31/12. We would have been more than happy to have had a technician retreat your home if we would have been aware that your were still seeing activity. Sincerely, Dale Leifheit Service Manager
