The day after I called, Robert came, treated the nest, and they were gone in 24 hours. Very prompt, knew exactly what to do, had right equipment, and was very courteous.

It went well. The original colony was destroyed. The colony, however, did relocate. To be fair though, we did not call them to tell them the colony relocated. Overall I would give them a B. The price was reasonable.

Excellent communication, quick to schedule and provide service as advertised. Laid out several bait traps and came back after two weeks to check them and seal up possible entry points. I have seen a dramatic reduction in cellar spiders. We have dealt with a mouse in our house in the recent past, but there were no signs of mice on the Chem-Wise evaluation. I feel more comfortable having had the potential entry points sealed. I'm leaving the baits out just in case one sneaks in through the door.

I haven’t had any problems with wasp. They were good. I used them last year as well. They were pretty professional. They came out and sprayed the whole entire house. They offered to come back anytime if there were ever any issues or wasp come by, so they were pretty good.

The reason I rated the overall service a "F" is due to the fact that the entirety of the job has not been completed. The gentlemen arrived on time and sprayed the wasp/bee nest as well as the outside perimeter of my home. The initial service date was 08/26/2017. The gentleman stated that by the following Thursday (08/31/2017) someone would come back to remove the nest once the wasp/bee activity had died completly down. Well today is Saturday, September 9, 2017, almost 3 weeks later and their still remains watermelon sized wasp/bee nest (with no wasp/bee activity) in the tree directly in front of my bedroom window. Too bad I didn't get a chance to issue a stop payment on the check before it was deposited. I would like the service to be completed instead of my having paid $170 for outside spray and I knock the nest down myself.

Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
[Member Name Removed], I would first like to apologize for the miscommunication between the technician who performed your service and the office staff. Typically we do wait 1-2 weeks after treatment to come back and remove a hornet'[Member Information Removed] next to make sure it is not active when we take it down. Since you are on the wasp proofing program, you are gauranteed against all stinging insects and nests throughout the calendar year. We will have someone out ASAP to remove the nest. Please give the office a call at your earliest convenience so we can get this scheduled. I again apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you so much.

They were very prompt in contacting me, they came out within a week. they did what they said they were going to do. The came in summer, come back in the fall and winter. I was kind of please that it was better for the environment and it seemed to do a good job. And even then after they are done with the 3 visits I might renew again. I think they did a good job, they were prompt and accommodating. They were very nice and efficient.

They are very good. They charge an initial fee. I do not know if it includes the first visit, I can not remember. It was $149, I think. Then after that if you call them, it is $79 a visit. They are professional. They are always there at the right time. If they are not, they will call you. They go beyond what they need to do if there is a problem.

Very nice service technician. Punctual appointment. Treatment had little to zero impact on prevalence of stink bugs. Called office once (left message) and emailed requesting re-application, never heard back.

Response from Chem-Wise Ecological Pest Management
Mr. [Member Name Removed], I apologize that your first application had little impact on your stink bug issue. I am unsure of why no one would have gotten back to you after a voicemail or email was left at our office, but I am looking into it. In the meantime, since you joined the tri-annual program, you are covered against all general insects in between services at no additional charge. I will be reaching out to you to schedule a technician to come out and re-treat, and I do apologize again for your experience.

They were suppose to call me back last week, and the guy said they don't do this type of service, and he came and said that isn't something I can do. The manager would have to call. It might be termites. I am not sure what I have. He took pictures, and he was going to talk to his manager, and call back. I have not heard back from him. He would go in the attic and see if there is any animals. He said he doesn't do that. What they can do, and not do. They list what they can do, but not what they can't do. I don't know any positive. He was nice, but not knowledgeable I think. I don't know. He was not knowledgeable enough. I expect the person who comes in would have all the knowledge. The mouse, they find the entry where its coming from, and it didn't happen. They did chemical outside, and sprayed in the basement, and put the mouse trap with the food in it, and that was about it. He took pictures. I was looking for him to look for the entry and block it. This is something, I am doing that. I catch it, but its more and more. I want to find the entry and block the entry. That is what they said they do. I have a mouse trouble, so everything else I could live with it. The service would have been better if they thoroughly checked where the mouse was coming from. He was saying it might be the attic, but he didn't have a way to look at it. He gives me something, and left me with it. You can do it, and this is what I found, and I didn't give her the answer satisfactory, to call her back. The management level to check and see what is happening. I am calling other people. I have a wooden thing sitting on the top, and one part is coming down. It just started recently. He took a picture, and said, my manager would call. I didn't hear anything. It concerns me for $139, I pay someone to spray, and put boxes with holes down. If you read the description on the $139, they come out, check the entries, and block the entries, and they spray. He didn't touch where the entries were even at. I have never done this job before, he will check the entries, and keep the mouse from coming in. I thought the price would be ok. That is the reason I wanted the service. Regardless of the issue with the service, he never called and asked how the service was. No follow up what so ever. He was on time. He was professional. He said he didn't know about it, he took pictures and send to manager. He didn't say he knew everything. I will make sure they do their job this time. They were there. They need to finish the job they started.
Description of Work: They did spray outside and inside they don't do it. They put the box with the holes for the rats inside. Mouse, not the rat.
