It went very well. The technician was very informative. He explained everything that he was doing and how the treatment will effect the ants. Called me to let me know he was running late and arrived at the time he said. The second day after treatment started seeing full effect of treatment, ants have disappeared. I will have a follow-up in two weeks and will use the trip-annual service. Excellent company, I highly recommend!

They were very responsive when I called about the recurring mice problem. They did come out several times but they didn’t solve the problem. I called another company who came out and said they really needed to put traps and I needed to seal the holes. I haven’t seen any mice since the new company came out.

Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
Good Afternoon Ms. [Member Name Removed], After speaking with you over the phone this morning, I would like to apologize again for being unable to solve your mouse issue in the time frame that you were expecting. Please keep in mind that not every mouse service is the same due to different factors, and some services can take more time to solve than others. I do apologize if any possible entry points on the follow up services were overlooked or not addressed. Chem-Wise'[Member Information Removed] services are fully guaranteed, and we will come out as many times as needed to solve your issue. Since your initial service was completed on 12/4/18, you are still guaranteed and we can definitely come out and take another look if any issues remain. Thank you so much, and have a great day!

It took 4 visits, but I think I'm mouse free. This is not an exact science, so there will be a minimum of 2 visits to resolve the problem. Every time I found another one, I called back, and they couldn't have been nicer about sending someone back out. On my last visit, they sent both a technician and a supervisor in hopes of finally solving my problem.

Everything has gone well. We have the tri-annual service, so they come 3 times a year to spray outside, but will spot treat inside if they are any issues.
Description of Work: Treatment done inside and outside of house. Had sugar ant in kitchen on counter and in cabinets. Also has some black ants by kitchen door and in front living room.

The serviceman who came was very knowledgeable, very detailed in making sure I understood how they work in regards to putting the poison down. Returned and was able to tell me where and approx. how he got in. He plugged up the places he thought were possible entry points and I felt much better after he left.

Robert examined the area around the bush and determined that there was no more hive in and around the bush. He advised me to monitor the area and call if I had any problem. He said no charge for the visit because that's not how they do business. Very professional!
Description of Work: A beehive had located itself in a bush beside my front door and I was stung. I called Chemwise and scheduled an appointment after the holiday weekend. In the meantime some nocturnal animal began destroying and I assume eating the hive. By the time Robert arrived the beehive was no longer visible.

Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry about the experience with your dogs. At the time of your originally scheduled service, our technician notified our office that he was unable to perform the service because the dogs were left out in the backyard and no one was home. After we rescheduled and returned, there were no dogs present and we were able to complete the service. Our technician returned to meet with you afterwards and showed you how he latched the gate and where the bungee cord and rocks were located. Perhaps there was another explanation of how the dogs got out?? In any case, we're glad your dogs are safe and are sorry for your bad experience.

The service was very effective. Before the spraying, my townhouse was overrun with spiders. Afterwards, barely a one. I highly recommend!

I got an annual contract with them. They were out here to do my fall prep in August. I got an annual contract so I don't get charged for it. I think it's $300 a year. This is my second contract worth so if it hadn't been right I would have renewed it. I kind of like environmentally safe products. I was comfortable with them. I kind of called them one shot because we had a mouse problem ion the second floor. I was very pleased with their responsiveness and they answered all my questions. We got a baby upstairs so we were concerned about that. I had mice and carpenter ants I think, big ole black ants. They took care of it so I got a contract with them. They call and check on the interior to see if were having any issues. They come out and do the exterior of the house quarterly. They spray for wasp and carpenter ants and yellow jackets. Not bees or the good insects but the ones that give you grief.

Company never called to schedule work or ask what I wanted. They just showed up, poked holes in lawn, dropped a paid invoice, and left. Not a single call, email or text. Also service person tracked mud across entrywalk. Very unprofessional.

I'm sorry for my miscommunication with you [Member Name Removed], texting wasn't an option because I called the number we had on file but I received an automated message that the number had been disconnected, I also had no email address on file in order to get a hold of you that way. I thought since you had already purchased the core aeration and over-seeding service, it was best if I scheduled the technician to complete the service you had asked and paid for. The service was completed on its original scheduled service date. The core aeration process causes all of those top soil plugs to be spit out onto the surface of the lawn and the technician should be more responsible, some top soil will be on solid surfaces like walkways and driveways after the aeration is completed. However, the technicians use a hand-held blower to get the chunks of top soil off off the solid surfaces. Thank you [Member Name Removed] for purchasing our core aeration and over-seeding deal.

No real problems except the technician brought the wrong size aerator and had to return the following week with the correct size. However, the second appointment was set up quickly and efficiently.
