Jay was prompt. He sprayed the outside and set rodent traps as well as looked at an area of damage on the bathroom wall that appeared to be caused by insects. Jay took pictures but we have not heard back about a more definitive answer as to a cause. He did treat the area for what he thought was likely the culprit. Overall, I am satisfied with the work. We were also able to transfer a termite warranty from the previous owner.

They came once. Installed bait traps and never came again. They charged $1100. This is almost double what other services charge. We found this out after we signed with them. Usually a company will come monthly...

Hi [Member Name Removed], I'm so sorry this hasn't been communicated to you before now. Our baiting system is different from others in that it begins working immediately and remains active for at least one year. Many customers tell us they appreciate this option because they're home remains protected while not having to worry with scheduling regular appointments. I have forwarded your info to our care team who will be contacting you today. Thanks for your feedback. Sara

Hi, Mr. After looking at our records, it seems it's been a few years since your service was active. Our technician indicated he'd tried contacting you several times back in 2012, and we're sorry to hear that those attempts were unsuccessful. We're constantly working to improve all aspects of our services. We hope that you'd find our communication with our valued customers is one of those areas, should you ever decide to give us another chance.

It went very well. Jaima is our regular person and she is wonderful to work with. She is always very friendly and helpful. The whole staff is good to work with. They are very professional and thorough. We have noticed a significant decline in spider, ant and cricket activity. I would recommend them to anyone who is in need of pest and termite control.
Description of Work: Every 3 months, they come and knock down spider webs around the eaves, spray for spiders,ants around foundation , check trap for rodents, check termite stations for any activity, and check with us to see if we have any problems on the inside. If we do, they take care of that.

It went very well. They just seem more knowledgeable, seem to be more aware of health issues and are not quite as invasive. They typically don't come in the home to spray. They do all their work on the outside unless we have issues inside the home and I like that.

I am so disappointed. I used Circle City Pest Control for years and they always did a wonderful job. However they have recently sold their company to Action Pest Control, and they did a terrible job! I called on July 8 and told them I needed to have my house sprayed for small ants and my deck sprayed for carpenter bees. They said they would send someone out on the11th and gave me a three hour appointment window. Five minutes after the end of the appointment window, the guy called to tell me he was running late. When he finally showed up, I took him around the house to show where I needed sprayed, and then he told me how they were going to spray and put down termite spikes and rodent traps for a whole house pest control. I told him I just wanted the one time application, but he kept trying to sell what a deal it was for the whole house. I asked how much in total it would be, and it was over $670! I said no, and finally got him to give me a quote of $250 for the one time application, which is not too bad. Then he said he would have a technician contact me to schedule the spraying! I was shocked - I thought that is what he was there for! Today is July 21st and I have never heard back from them. I called and told them I would not be using their services. This is possibly the worst service I have ever had.
Description of Work: I called to have someone spray for ants and carpenter bees. They sent a salesperson instead of a technician and a technician never came.

Response from Action Pest Control Inc
[member name removed], We sincerely apologize for disappointing you! Action Pest Control does have a different way of doing things, but we’ve found that our service parameters allow us to better serve our customers. It is our goal to build lasting partnerships with our clients. Many of our newest customers were accustomed to paying high prices for one-time treatments (as you referenced here). The cost of a one-time service, which offers limited guarantee and addresses only one issue is generally much higher than an ongoing TermaPest service, which is our comprehensive service that covers ongoing pest control issues, provides a full service guarantee, and safeguards your home and family from unwanted pests. In a year, if you received a one-time service for $250 three times, with limited follow up and pest control, you would be paying much more than our ongoing service with unlimited return visits and complete coverage. While we feel this is the best option for most of our clients, we know it may not meet the needs of all our customers, so we are happy to provide you with several different options. We did experience some technical issues when we merged Circle City and Action Pest Control. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We’d love to have the opportunity to earn your trust and develop a partnership with you to protect your home and family in the future. Please let us know of anything we can do to rectify the situation. -Alisa Kissell Customer Service Manager

They spray for ants and bugs. The house has none now. They monitor for termites. I got a contract with them to protect against them. The house was free of termites . A few were found in the monitors, so they treated the house at no additional cost. Excellent service and great people to work with.

I purchased 6 months worth of service at a cost of $90. Each w/an initial visit of $210. for a grand total of $750. Our home is a little over 4,000 sq. foot. I chose to pay in full and was therefore given a discount dropping my price to $712.50. In my initial visit with Jay Fowler I felt that he was professional, courteous, and extremely thorough in the interior and exterior inspection of our home, as well as, going over the description of the inspectional report and proposal/quotation. I attest I was a bit apprehensive at first given that we had already worked with Orkin and weren't at all impressed with their overall service. So when Jeff Wilson, the technician, came by the next month I was amazed. If I thought Jay was all of the above, Jeff was exactly the same way and then some! We truly feel that we are getting everything we paid for and then some. It's not a walk around your exterior, spray, drop sticky boxes, collect a check and leave (like Orkin), instead it's a detailed full service visit. For example, Jeff will literally knock down all our cobwebs and our home has two massive two-story decks not including the extremely large entryway dormer or soffits we have as overhangs. Jeff is usually here for over an hour each and every time. About two months in a mole begin tunneling all over our yard so we purchased the mole service (initial visit $40, $40 for 6 visits, total $280 and again we paid in full so our total bill was $228.) Again, we feel that something is actually being accomplished and we currently have not experienced any new mole activity. I can't say enough about the company except that we don't plan to use any other pest control company except Action Pest Control for the foreseeable future.
