Description of Work: Mark @ Conquest is extremely professional, responsive and knowledgable. We had rats in our backyard from the alley (city living) and Orkin's treatment plan wasn't working. Hired Conquest in November, they came out every other day to trap/bait & monitor activity. Now that all activity is ceased, they are building perimeter fortification so the rats can no longer get into our yard. Better than any of the other exterminators we've used. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Price is kinda high, but when you consider they're fortifying our gate, fencelines, base of the house AND they've made at least 25-30 trips out here, $1200 is not that high.

They were mediocre at best. They are more about maintenance. They do no more than what I could do on my own, but want to charge money to have them repeatedly come back and look at traps and charge a lot to do it. Their price is average.

Response from Plunkett's Pest Control
Member I am suprised by this report. Your husband dealt with me many times. I did a lot of work for you guys and minimised your rat problem, I showed your husband how to seal your back area himself and save $500, that's waht I charged your neighbors to seal there area. Please ammend or remove this negitiver report, It effects my business. Your husband called me many many times on my cell phone and I responede with quick service every time.

The treatment was good and would work well with tenants who followed all recommendations strictly. Unfortunately for me it is a building where tenants are not very meticulous. The ones who follow the program were successful.
Description of Work: They treated for bed bugs in an apartment building. It is a building I manage, not that I live in. The technician was very knowledgeable about the pests and treatments. He asked good questions to the tenants to try to pinpoint the problem. He also had good suggestions as to how to prevent the problem re-occurring.

They were very good and they came out that afternoon. They treated it and part of the service was if I saw any the next day they would come out and treat it free of charge.

They were professional, on time, and did their job quickly. It appears that the problem is resolved. I appreciated that we didn't have to get locked into a long term contract.
Description of Work: We had an ant problem mostly outside, but we had seen a few in the kitchen. They sprayed outside and put down bait.

The operators were excellent. They were prompt, friendly, thorough, careful with floors and rugs and did not have to drill into the walls. It took them three visits to get rid of them completely, but the ants haven't returned either. I did have to sign a contract for them to come out quarterly.
Description of Work: They came out and treated a swarm of carpenter ants, both on the inside and outside of the windows in one room in my house.

I was starting to see fleas on my dog so I called them out after getting my dog treated. They were able to come out the next day and take care of this. They did come out two times just to make sure they were all gone. We haven't had a problem since.

The first time they came out, they got rid of the carpenter ants. Then, I called later for red ants and the guy sent out was terrible and didn't do anything. When I complained to Code, they did apologize profusely.

Awful. Fred did not show up because he couldn't find a parking spot. Fred is the owner--he never called, nothing. I took a day off of work to get this taken care of and nothing was resolved. Waste of my time.
Description of Work: We had a mouse in our house and I contacted ABC Exterminating to help me with the infestation.
