I called in to their main line and was answered by a lady who took my information and service requested and promised a follow up from Darnell to scheduled when he was in the area. We are selling our house and this was a requested service we agreed to perform for our buyer. Darnell called the next day and was able to squeeze me in a day or 2 later because I thought I needed to be home but he assured me that there would be no need as he will call me with his findings. This made it very convenient for me to not have to take off work and our evenings are very busy! Darnell called and explained the situation and was able to honor their Angie's List Deal to treat the areas as well as spray preventative all around the exterior of the home. Just as important, he was able to find that they were probably migrating from our neighbor's house where he found several more stains and holes on the trim. He asked that I call in to the office the next morning for payment (ask for Stephanie, she's great) and promised she would email me an invoice receipt to explain worked performed so I could present this to our buyers. From start to finish this was smooth and easy and they fulfilled my every request. I will be using them in our new home when such services are needed again!

I would like them to provide more detail work and spread solution into siding and any area might have bee or wasp. But looked like they just spread in some areas on the surface.

Fike's representative, showed up on time , was polite and friendly and explained what he was looking for. He found evidence of mouse activity and places several traps around the house both in and out. He explained the traps and how they worked. It is nice to know that if one of our pets gets a hold of one the mice killed by Fike's bait, they won't be harmed.
Description of Work: We heard noises in several areas of the walls of our house. We had Fike's out to our house in the past so I called them again. He placed new traps in and outside around the house.

Hire the small guys; don't use the big companies. These guys were so professional and appreciative of my business. The tech was timely and gave me his personal cell number to call if I have problems. I love supporting these companies. Their price is comparable to other providers. Service is much better.

Response from Fikes Pest Control
Thank you for your perspective on our PREVENTATIVE treatment guarantee. Our techs are trained to share the length of time we will guarantee a service once onsite, as weather (ie. temperature, humidity and other factors that can affect a chemical treatment) does play a role in the efficacy of certain pesticide performance. Many products we use are labeled to last longer than 30-days...much longer. We do offer treatment plans that cover a residence for the entire warm-weather season (inside and outside), which may be a better fit for you/your home next time you decide to purchase!

While in the process of having some rotten siding removed from my home, carpenter ants were discovered. Checking Angie's List for an exterminator, I found Fike's, called them with my dilemma, needed service ASAP, before siding was to be replaced. Stephanie, in the office, was wonderful. She had Lee, the exterminator, here within 2 hours. He was very professional. I would hire this company again if needed. A very happy customer.

I called and received same day service! They set up a time of arrival between 4-5 pm, and arrived closer to 5pm. The tech, Lee, was very professional. I walked him through house and showed him the problem areas. He spent approximately one hour in the home identifying and treating the problem areas. He also treated the garage, which is attached to our home as well as the outside perimeter of the house. He thought if we gave the problem about a week, but to call back after if it wasn't resolved by then and they could come back out. I wasn't overly optimistic because it was a pretty active ant problem so I figured we would still see them for few days; however, I have not seen an ant since he left my house! I will say was a little concerned after reading the reviews because the services were for mostly for bees or hornets, not ants, but couldn't be happier with this investment so in case anyone else is concerned, they are great for troubleshooting and treating ant problems!
Description of Work: Fike's responded to my call for service to treat an existing, very active ant problem. They treated the home inside and out. They offered single treatments with a 30-day guarantee as well as annual treatment packages for services three times a year that includes responding between calls, if necessary. I purchased the annual package and full payment is required up front.

Response from Fikes Pest Control
Thank you very much for the opportunity to serve you...we truly appreciate your business! FYI, we are definitely more than bee/wasp/hornet experts...we excel at treating for ALL general pest issues (ants, roaches, spiders, roly-poly's, clover mites, centipedes, millipedes, beetles and especially BEDBUGS!) And we do a pretty darn good job with all types of bees and wasps, too! 90% of our residential customers purchase the same program as you did...tri-season (spring/summer/fall) treatment for the great value. The "national" companies all want to come out to your home 4-7 times per year and charge $700-$1,000/year for general pest service...and we just think that's way to much. Too much pesticide in and around our homes and way, way, way too much money for general pest control. Thanks again and don't forget about our buy 5, get 1 free "MOSQUITO" programs too...so you can enjoy your outdoor living all summer long!

We had some very aggressive hornets in our backyard. He sprayed the nest multiple times and treated it so any hornets returning to the nest would die too. He also sprayed our attic and made some suggestions on how to prevent further problems. Gave me his cell number and told us to call if we had anymore hornet problems and he would return (free of charge) to take care of it.

We purchased a special deal from Angie's List. Fikes quickly contacted us to set-up the appointment. The tech showed up on time. He did a thorough walk around the house. Explaining how the bait worked was a big plus. He told us the mice would leave the house looking for water. To not plug the entry points until after the bait worked. The mice are gone. The house is plugged.
Description of Work: They pointed out possible entry points for mice. Set bait for mice. Pointed out where the runs were.

My interactions with the company were very pleasant and professional. I was able to correspond with the company via the Message Center and by phone with ease. They fogged my yard three times, when the the deal stated they would only do it twice. They gave some friendly tips on a hornet nest I also had at the front of the property. I would use these folks again if I have further pest issues!

The original appt was changed due to weather (unable to provide exterior service because of the rain) in October to a date in November. Apparently, the company changed appt system in esrly November and my appr didn't change over to the new system. I had to call the office to find out why the tech was almost an hour late. the office immediately call the tech and he was at my home within 45 mins. He was very apologetic about the situation. He was very professional and answered all my questions.

Still no ants and this is the first winter in years this has been so. Rodents ( mice) did not penetrate through to the house. Feeding, was confined to the garage so they fed and left and died. I hate to be jubilant about something dying but quite simply, mice can exist outside but not inside our home. Thank you Fikes and another special shout out to Darnell !!!!!
Description of Work: Checked and replaced rodent bait traps ( several were again empty indicating rodents were feeding in garage) , sprayed interior for ants even pulling out stove drawer for same and performed exterior spraying as well.

[member name removed], We are truly sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused you. I am glad we were able to both refer you to another Angie's List company that excels at this type of work AND refund your $99 IMMEDIATELY upon finding this "miss" in our BIG DEAL. I have spoken with our Angie's List representative regarding this situation and determined that this was the best option for your situation...we will do better next time (both FPC and AL) when sending out an offer and making sure to include exclusions (even the rare ones like yours). I hope those pesky chipmunks are gone from your home/yard and Happy Holidays to you and your family. Craig Bardach Owner
