American Pest Solutions

George Manning is the most knowledgable individual in the field of bugs/rodents etc. After consulting another company recommended to us, we quickly became disappointed in them and contacted George knowing his reputation was by far the best. George was informative, clear and most of all, comforting. His manner is kind and quite sincere. His team is beyond courteous and they were exceptionally professional and well-trained. We would never have purchased the home if George hadn't made us feel like it was a problem they could easily remedy. George is accessible and is an expert in his field...we would never trust anyone else!

after shortly moving in to our home, we noticed critters that we did not recognize as anything other than bedbugs. we scheduled an appointment with ease. our pest man was very punctual and inspected our home using a flashlight. we were provided a free estimate only as the pests seen were not bed bugs. our pest man was very professional and knowledgeable on the subject. will definitely contact them in the future if pest control is needed.

I would hire this company again based on their professionalism, and promptness in responding to my request for service. Rick (American Pest Control) walked around the premises looking for points of entry. Inside, he also looked for hiding places on the first floor around the kitchen and in basement. Located area outside of the house, around conduit for junction box, as hole in wall on side of house where mice (and rats) can enter. Also, identified gap at bottom of the back security door as opening for varmints. The entire process took abot one hour. Rick was very informative, and professional. Taking Rick's advice, I applied gap sealant for all the areas he identified as points of ingress. It has been months, and hard winter months, and I have not seen a mouse, or even evidence of one in the house.

They were on time and they were pretty accurate. I had a couple of ants left over and they came back out to make sure that it was taken care of. It was a pretty good company.

They have been very nice and very helpful. I found a dead mouse a few weeks later and they came back and rebated. They have been very nice to work with and we would recommend them. It was kind of expensive but it was worth it. The fellow that came back was the same one that was here originally and he checked all around the house upstairs, downstairs and in the basement. It was not as cheap as going to the hardware store and buying our own products but we felt confident that he was looking at everything around our house. They were prompt and pretty thorough. They were friendly and willing to come back and rebait. They have a period of time that they are willing to come back for free. They offer good service. They were very prompt and made the appointment when we were available. They explained what they were doing and what they were putting down because we have grandchildren that come over. We haven?t seen any more mice.

We finally found the right people to help rid us of rats under our house (dirt crawl)) and in our walls. I found APS on Angie's list and liked their idea of finding the main cause to our rat problem, and then solving it rather than just baiting the area as a temporary fix. For over 7 years we had problems with rats scratching under our floors and within our walls driving us crazy. Baiting or trapping them only would last for a short time and would cause alot of foul smelling odors. I called APS, and within 3 days, they sent Lloyd and Patron out to check out our problem. We had them do a camera check in the sewer lines right away, since we knew we had a problem already. The cost was $400, but it was well worth it, because he found 2 cracked pipes that were allowing access for the rats from the main sewer line. Both Lloyd and Patron were very thorough in their inspection, and took the time to go though all of our alternatives and answer all of our questions. Two weeks later, Lloyd, Dave and Clarence came out and dug out the dirt under our our house to get at our sewer lines to replace the pipes. They all did a great job, particularly the fact that they only had an access hole which was 2" x 2" wide, and had to remove the dirt bucket by bucket. They were on time and stayed late when they needed to, and cleaned up thoroughly when they left. It was very helpful that they knew all about the plumbing of a house as well as pest control. They came in and were able to solve a few other glitches that came up during the process. We were extremely pleased with their work. Lloyd did a great job keeping us abreast of the work and explaining all the details. He even came back on Saturday with his sons to finish the clean-up. They also have a 3 yr guaranty, and a follow-up after 6mos or a year. All in all, the problem is finally solved and we're happy.

It went very well. Technician walked around the entire property looking for possible entrances the rats could be using. He even crawled into the crawlspace under the house. Left bait and advice about which openings need to be sealed up. Guaranteed the work for 90 days.

Michael was wonderful and did not mind that 3 adults followed him all over the house and hounded him with a bunch of questions. It was clear we were quite paranoid and he was able to educate us and calm us down. I was quoted a price of $275, but he only charged us $150 because it was obvious to him that bedbugs were not the problem and he did not think it was appropriate to charge us the higher price.

George was super professional and personable. He came right on time and I'd never expect to say this about an exterminator, but we enjoyed having him over! He was great to talk to, explaining everything in great detail. He's obviously very knowledgeable. Our 1921 bungalow offers plenty of opportunities for critters to get in. We are going to use his recommended methods for keeping them out, and between that and the bait he put down, we'll hope for the best in our first winter in our new home.

On behave of Breton Court We used American Pest Solutions as recommended by Crosstown Tree Services to ascertain if a group of 40 - year old apple trees were infested with carpenter ants. George Manning, their consulting Entomologist, proved to be knowledgable and pleasant. He noted that the trees had not a dangerous infestation and though the main trunks of three of the trees had already split, they could still be saved. The process necessitated a vice to pull the split trunks together and physically cutting out areas where squirrels and ants had attacked the trees. These areas would then be fulled with a grating and cement-like mixture. The trees could also be trimmed to reduce their foliage from entering both gutters and sewage drains. The process would necessitate seasonal upgrades and provide another 5 or more years to their lives. We would certainly recommend both Manning's American Pest Solutions and Crosstown Tree Services and, should the need arise, return to them without reservations.

George did a great job inspecting the house, he was extremely thorough, inspected the yard, crawled underneath the deck (where the deck wasn't built for anyone to crawl underneath), inspected the basement and the rest of the house looking for signs of bug infestation. Gave us great tips (almost more than we can handle) on what types of bugs are around and why they are around and what habitat do they live in. George is a great knowledge source for all things "bugs" for sure. Turn around time on the final report was a bit delayed until I reminded George, but he had given us most of his feedback during the inspection already, which took over two hours with George's thoroughness. I would recommend specifically asking George for your service If other negative reports on his company are true.

Poor follow-through was disappointing.

After complaining to the company, the owner personally responded to me and we currently have another appointment to rectify the situation. I appreciate the concern for the reputation of their company and look forward to removing a negative review. The owner, George, personally came out and attempted to correct the problem. Though rat activity is still somewhat apparent, it is a vast improvement from what it was. The owner takes very serious consideration for his reputation and couldn't have been more responsive to my criticisms. I am pleased with their professionalism and respect their goal of complete satisfaction. I would call them again and hopefully the rat activity stays dormant for awhile.

Mike was respectful, informative, efficient and very professional.

Sorry this review is late. Around Feb 1, I called and spoke with a receptionist who said the appropriate person would call back regarding skunk removal. Michael was very professional, knowledgeable and informative, and called me back later that day, I think. He detailed all that would be involved, and I felt confident that this company knew what they were doing. This company is different in that they don't do animal trapping, they use behavioral modification to try and evict unwanted animals. The downside is that it was rather expensive. The initial quote was $950 (without actually coming out to see... might even have been more, since our porch had other concrete issues in another area). This quote included getting the animals out (could maybe take a week) and also included closing out any openings to prevent future animals from entering. Without having any actual work done, they seem like a reputable, good quality service company, and while we would like to have tried non-trapping means, the cost really prevented us from choosing this company at this time. If we had the money to spend, I would consider using this company in the future. The mouse proofing sounded interesting, but again we haven't decided at this time to go with it since we've already had another exterminator come out.

very prompt response to me email saying i feared i might have squirrels in my attic [insert joke here]. the point is that i didn't KNOW if they had gotten in yet, but knew they were at least trying. the quoted price was WAY above what i'd pay for a house call to check things out and install a deterrent if necessary~NOT at all high for taking care of any sort of infestation. i let them know that and eventually saw a squirrel gnawing a big hole in the gable end of my roof. he hadn't achieved entry yet and i was able to get the hole closed at a fraction of the price quoted by APS. i'd still consider them if there were pests in the attic or walls as eliminating them is no job for amateurs.

George is extremely knowledgeable and a HUGE resource for anyone dealing with a pest problem. His goal is to remove the problem from the source, not just cover it up temporarily by spraying pesticides.

My husband and I were looking to purchase a home that we knew may have had a termite issue at some point. As we were in the middle of the offer process, time was of the essence and George was able to come out on a Saturday with only a few hours notice. He was prompt, courteous, and pointed out other potential problems like a rodent issue in the garage. He took extra time to show us some non-pest related observations on the structure as well. Overall, we found him very knowledgeable, frank, and professional. He explained the scope of the problem and recommended a treatment plan with a cost quote. We appreciated his honesty and professionalism and would definitely work with him again.

The owner of the company is so considerate of customers. His truck broke down on his way to our first appointment. He called from the truck, well ahead of the scheduled appointment.

They came right out, examined the entire home, and found possible points of entry. They then advised us to hire a carpenter or a handyman to patch the holes, and they set bait to kill the mice. They returned to check and refill the bait to ensure total eradication. I was impressed with the entire operation and with how quickly the problem was resolved.

They came out quickly and eliminated the mice with one visit.

They were very professional and took care of the problem in my home. I would recommend them.

They did a very good, and thorough job. They were professional, responsive, puntual, and the quality of work was good. My overall experience with them has been good.

George found additional termite damage, but concluded that it likely occurred years ago, because he didn't find evidence of recent activity. However, he said that the only way to know for sure would be to return in the spring, when termites are most active and do another inspection. Luckily, the termites had done minor damage and it was easily repairable. Aside from the termites, which was the main reason we hired him, George had great advice for our rehab on simple ways to limit pests, especially rats. In fact, this might end up being the most valuable service he provided us. I would recommend anyone who is doing extensive work on their house to consult with George on how to keep pests at bay. George suggested simple things to do, especially regarding the plumbing, that will go a long way to keeping rodents out of our house. Thank you, George!

American Eagle Pest Control came out to our house when they said they would. They knew exactly what the problem was as soon as he got to our garage. They told us how to prevent the rats from getting in in the future and took care of the rats we had then.
