Description of Work: Steve came out to evaluate a flying insect that I thought might be termites. He validated that it was not, educated me about what to look for, and did not charge me for coming out. He was great!

I am greatly satisfied with their service. The pest inspector was professional, thorough, and explained in depth issues that might be of future importance. I was glad to hear that currently my house didn't need any pest control. He was so honest not to charge me anything (even for his time and travel!) during this visit. He didn't want to sell any extra service or costly updates, typical of many domestic services I've used before. My only concern would be their pricing strategies. When I contacted them initially over phone they offered me a different price. Immediately on mentioning about Angie's list coupon, they changed and priced me higher! However, not having to pay at the end addressed that issue. Having never used their service before, I was uncertain initially, but Bugman has exceeded my expectations. I'm going to use them in future.
Description of Work: Assessed pest infestations issues to both internal and external environment of a newly purchased home.

Response from The Bug Man
Thank you for your comments. Concerning the pricing, receiving two different prices could be due to the fact that we have different types of services with differing prices. Once the technician is at the property, he determines the best service for your individual issue. It is our hope that we can be of service to you in the future.

Description of Work: Had mice in garage, attic & basement! One treatment was all it took! He put the bait boxes everywhere, and within a few weeks never saw or seen evidence of a mouse again! Going to have them come back in the fall to put bait boxes out again just in case the fuzzy creatures try to move in for the winter!

Based on people that I know who have had experience with them, they stay ahead of termites; you wont get termites as long as you use their services.
Description of Work: I used The Bug Man for termite control; they bait for termites, they will kill them but, they will also tell you whether or not there is termite activity in the ground that is surrounding the foundation.

We had an infestation of ground wasps and bees, so he suggested things that we could try before having to use a professional. I think that the suggestions he gave my husband for the things that we could do instead of having him initially was a very nice thing to do, because he could have just come and done something or tried stuff and let it go, but he didn’t do that. He was here promptly and came out right away, because we called him that morning and he came out that afternoon. I didn’t deal with him, but my husband said that he was very professional.
Description of Work: My husband and I used The Bug Man to get an estimate. He came out voluntarily and spoke to my husband to give us an estimate or consultation.

They did a complete inspection for termites in January, and then come out monthly to check bait stations for termites that are left around the perimeter of the house. If they see anything, they'll treat for it. I continue to be satisfied and they've done everything that they said they would.

Estimator was very up front about what was offered and did a thorough inspection of the house (Terminix guy did NOT). The installation was quick and clean. Follow ups have been on schedule. They even replaced some traps for free that I ran over with the lawn mower. Would recommend to anyone.
