He said he could charge a bundle to look at it but that would not solve problem. He gave me some advice and was just super. I would highly recommend them.

I think they came within the time window the first time, but not the second time. They were professional, good, and the actual service was very quick.
Description of Work: It was general spraying for ants. They sprayed the exterior foundation and had to come out a second time within the warranty period.

They sprayed the exterior of the house, but it rained soon after, and he did have to come back again. It has reduced the amount of ants that are coming in. I will probably ask them to treat the interior of my house. I think that they do a good job.
Description of Work: I have been using this company to help me rid our house of an ant problem that seems to have stemmed from the rain.

I had ground hogs and raccoons living under my back deck and front porch. Gold Seal charged $150 to bring a Hav-A-heart trap and set it up (on the Friday before Memorial Day). They said they would come out each day to see if anything had been trapped. I noted that I could certainly look in the trap to see if there was a critter in it and would call (to save them a trip and gasoline.) Saturday morning I had my first ground hog. I called the number on the invoice I was given and there was a flurry of Spanish (which I don't understand). Called the office number which gave me an answering machine with another number to call to have the critter removed. I called. The voice answered, "This is Ron. Leave a number and I'll call you back." Was this Gold Seal? Didn't know. Left message that I was "trying to contact Gold Seal for an animal in a trap. Please call to let me know if this is the right number." No call. Worrying about the animal, I finally took the trap myself about three miles north and released it. Bad news: I had to do it myself. Good news: I saved myself the $55 additional charge for releasing an animal. Reset trap. Caught a raccoon. They came and released it. Set trap again. Second ground hog. I released it. Decided that I could buy my own trap and take care of this myself for a lot less money. If one chooses to do DIY, make sure you check the style of trap which you purchase and the ease of operation as there are a number of styles and sizes, one style designed with the opening on the bottom for burrowing animals and one which opens at the end for above ground. Ask the store to take the trap out of the box and demonstrate its operation as each style operates differently.
Description of Work: Humane removal of ground hogs and raccoons from under my front porch and back deck.

OOPS, WE GOT CAUGHT WITH OUR PANTS DOWN! PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES. PRIOR TO THE MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, WE CONVERTED TO A NEW SOFTWARE PROGRAM AND WE HAD A NUMBER OF GLITCHES (WHICH WE ARE HAPPY TO REPORT WERE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY) INCLUDING WRONG PHONE NUMBERS. WE CERTAINLY DID NOT INTEND TO MISLEAD OR GIVE OUT WRONG PHONE NUMBERS SINCE THEY ARE THE LIFELINE OF OUR BUSINESS. AS FAR AS DOING IT YOURSELF. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING SO, WE WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE APPROPRIATE TRAP FOR THE TYPE OF CRITTER YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO CATCH. BUT PLEASE BE AWARE, IT'S NOT AS EASY AS YOU MAY THINK. ALSO, AS YOU MAY HAVE READ IN THE JULY 8, 2008 COPY OF THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, THERE ARE LEGAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE TRAPPING OF FUR BEARING ANIMALS. "A PERSON WHO TRAPS A WILD ANIMAL IS ALLOWED TO RELEASE IT ONLY WITHIN THE SAME COUNTY WITH THE CONSENT OF THE PROPERTY OWNER" IN ADDITION, WHEN ANY PROFESSIONAL IS HIRED TO SET TRAPS AND CATCH WILD ANIMALS, CUSTOMERS MAY NOT HAVE ANY CONTACT WITH THE BAITED TRAPS OR WITH TRAPPED ANIMALS IN ANY WAY. TRAPPED ANIMALS ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND MAY BE ILL OR DISEASED. AS SUCH, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING IT YOURSELF, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US FIRST AS TO YOUR OPTIONS. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY TRAPPING!

We had a tough time even getting the raccoon trapped, but Gold Seal was very persistent in their efforts to finally get the raccoon trapped and came back to my house often to check on the trap. Once we were able to get the raccoon out of my attic, Elia Levin was very responsive in coming to my home and meeting with the insurance adjuster to discuss the damage to the attic and what would need to be done. Elia was very helpful and took a load off my mind as far as working out the terms with the insurance company, which is something I don't like to have to do and that was a huge help to me. Once all the terms were worked out, to my satisfaction, the work could get underway. Elia arrived with his crew of workers, who made sure the appropriate things were in place to protect my house while they were working in the attic. Considering the extent of the damage caused by the raccoon and everything that had to be done, they were very quick to get setup and begin the cleanup process. They had to remove a considerable amount of insulation and feces from my attic, clean the area and replace the insulation. All this was done the same day AND they cleaned up their mess, so it was almost as if they weren't even there working. I was very impressed with their work. Elia called me later that same evening to make sure everything was done to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: Raccoon removal, repair damage in attic, secure home from future raccoon visitors.

They set trap around my house and I was told it would take 90 days and then they would be back to check activity, that is what I was told when I called them. The person that came and installed them told me it was going to be 30 then they would come back and check the traps. So the thirty days had passed so I called them and now they are coming out which will make it 40 days. They still have not told me how many days it was to take.
Description of Work: They did termite control treatment to the exterior of my home, they place twenty stations.

Response from Presto-X Pest Control
ALTHOUGH THE MANUFACTURER'S PROTOCOL AND E.P.A. GUIDELINES FOR THIS TYPE OF TERMITE SYSTEM CALLS FOR MONITORING AT 90 DAY INTERVALS, GOLD SEAL, IN THE INTEREST OF SOLVING YOUR TERMITE PROBLEM AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, CHECKS YOUR SYSTEM APPROXIMATELY 30 - 45 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE DO ON OUR OWN AND IS NOT MANDATED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR THE E.P.A. WE WILL THEN RETURN APPROXIMATELY 90 DAYS AFTER THE INITIAL INSTALLATION DATE, AND QUARTERLY FROM THEN ON. IN OTHER WORDS, RATHER THAN CHECKING THE MONITORS TWICE IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS, GOLD SEAL PREFERS TO CHECK THEM 3 TIMES DURING THOSE FIRST 90 DAYS. PLEASE ACCEPT OUR APOLOGIES FOR ANY MISUNDERSTANDING.

Wonderful experience. They came one day after I called. Workers were very professional and helpful. They educated me on what steps to take in my home to prevent further problems including food storage, caulking cracks, etc. By the end of the service call, I felt well educated about ants and how to minimize them re-invading my home! I even recommended them to a friend the next day.

I called prepared to hire them for insect extermination, but Phil gave me a simple do-it-yourself solution that probably saved me a couple hundred bucks. Getting this kind of free expert advice is a rarity and much appreciated; especially since I was prepared to pay whatever it took. I will definitely call them when the pest control problem escalates.

Gold Seal was a terrible recommendation. The only thing they did that they said they would do was set 1 trap, and they set it in the wrong location. I have called 4 times to get the service I was promised and I still have not received it.
Description of Work: Gold Seal Pest Company was to come to our home and remove dead animals from the attic above our closet, identify where the animals were gaining access, give us an estimate on the removal of soiled insulation, and set traps to catch any further animals. Their employee came out. He did not remove the dead bodies, he did not let us know where they were entering, and he did not give us an estimate on removing the soiled insulation. He did set 1 trap, but he set it 15 feet from where the problem is located. I called to complain. Gold Seal sent the same employee who replaced the bait in the trap and still did not inspect the site where the problem is despite being asked by me directly.

Response from Presto-X Pest Control
WHEN GOLD SEAL ARRIVED AND INSPECTED THE ATTIC AREA ABOVE THE CLOSET, THE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO THE CONSTRUCTION,THE AREA IN QUESTION WAS OBSTRUCTED. AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, NOT KNOWING WHETHER THERE WAS A MOTHER RACCOON WITH LIVE BABIES, WHICH WAS HIGHLY LIKELY, HE EXPLAINED FOR SAFETY REASONS, HE WOULD FIRST TRAP THE MOTHER AND THEN CRAWL BACK ON HIS BELLY TO RETRIEVE ANY LIVE OR DEAD BABIES, INSPECT THE AREA AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE FOR REMOVING SOILED INSULATION. CRAWLING BACK IN SUCH A TIGHT SPACE WOULD NOT LEAVE SUFFICIENT ROOM TO ESCAPE SHOULD A MOTHER RACCOON BE DEFENDING HER BABIES. THE TECHNICIAN SET A TRAP WHERE IT COULD BE ACCESSIBLE FOR REMOVAL AND, IN FACT, THE TRAP WAS TRIPPED AND THE LURE REMOVED BY THE ANIMAL. THIS INDICATED THAT THE TRAP WAS PLACED PROPERLY, AND MOVING TO A NEW LOCATION WAS NOT NECESSARY AND WAS THEREFORE RESET. AT THAT TIME, THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS WAS UNDERSTOOD AND ACCEPTABLE. UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN DEALING WITH NATURE, RESULTS DO NOT OCCUR AS QUICKLY AS WE MAY WANT THEM TO. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SITUATIONS THAT REQUIRES PATIENCE IN ACHIEVING COMPLETE RESULTS. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY MISCOMMUNICATION OR INCONVENIENCE, BUT, NONETHELESS, THE PROCEDURES FOLLOWING WERE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS SITUATION. IN ADDITION, ANY TIME A CUSTOMER FEELS THAT THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING PROPER ATTENTION, BEFORE CONTACTING ANGIE'S LIST, I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO ASK TO SPEAK WITH THE MANAGER OR OWNER SO THAT ANY ISSUES CAN BE ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER. AS IT IS, UNTIL READING THIS REPORT, WE WERE NOT UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THERE WERE ANY DIFFICULTIES OR MISUNDERSTANDINGS. AS SUCH, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME, ELIA LEVIN, OWNER AND MANAGER, SO THAT WE CAN MAKE IT RIGHT BY YOU. FAMILY OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1930, GOLD SEAL IS PROUD TO PROVIDE PROMPT, COURTEOUS, PROFESSIONAL SERVICES THROUGHOUT INDIANA FOR ALMOST 80 YEARS. WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO TREAT ALL CUSTOMERS HONESTLY AND FAIRLY AS EVIDENCED BY OTHER ANGIE'S LIST REPORTS, AND WISH THE OPPORTUNITY TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION FOR YOU.
