ABES Pest Control Inc.

We were unhappy at first because when we scheduled the appointment we informed the company that we were very concerned we had raccoons under our house in the crawl space, and possibly chipmunk activity as well. We wanted the raccoons removed and prevented from returning. This was made very clear. One of us scheduled time off from work to meet Dave at our place. Dave arrived more or less on time, no problem. But upon inspection he found no evidence of access points where raccoons could get in, but did find droppings which he said could be dog or raccoon (no dogs could be under our house, so we know it confirmed our suspicions). But Dave could not tell if it was fresh or old droppings (based on the sounds we heard under the house, it was fresh). Ok, what are we going to do about it? Dave said their company can't really do raccoon removal, they focus mostly on mice, and that we're too far out from their office to check traps daily, etc. This was a surprise since we hired them specifically for this concern. Obviously, in the end, we just want the problem taken care of. Dave apologized and took our $125 check and left. He did spend a reasonable amount of time looking and sliding around under the house in the crawl space. For the records, there are some gaps that we know of, but were not aware raccoons could fit through them. Okay, so we were pretty upset and disappointed. Yes, it was helpful to have some level of verification for what we thought was going on, but not what we expected we were paying for. So I called ABES the next day and ended up speaking with Jeff, the owner. Jeff was very understanding, didn't make excuses other than that they do tend to defer the larger animal trapping/elimination during this part of the season. He offered to refund half our payment without me asking for it, which we felt was fair especially in light of his willingness to have a conversation about the challenges of the problem, recommendations and info about things we could do, and to send contact info for others who he felt may be able to help. So this is a mixed review. We called ABES because they service our area and had a good rating on Angie's List, and because we had briefly exchanged communications a few years ago about a different matter and that conversation made me think they (Jeff in particular) were very reasonable and professional people—trustworthy. So in light of the resolution of this issue and how Jeff handled it, I would still recommend them, but also recommend being EXTRA clear upfront about what you expect, and possibly ask to talk to Jeff directly if there is anything uncertain about the situation, or what you will get from a visit/inspection.

Excellent!! I highly recommend Abes Pest Control. Job thoroughly done well. Jim was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Hard to find good people/service like this!

I found evidence of moles after mowing my lawn the first time this year. After reviewing Angie's List, I called ABES. They sounded good on the phone, and Jeff was punctual and courteous when he showed up to give me an estimate. It wasn't cheap, but he showed me evidence in several other places around my house where he found evidence of moles that I did not see. He explained his programs and was honest about expectations after treatment. He provided several follow-up appointments to make check if additional treatments were needed, but they were not. As far as I can tell, his program took care of the problem. Jeff and his company were pleasant to deal with, and I would use them again if I had a need to.

Jim, came out to the house. He was personable, professional and knowledgeable. The application seems to have corrected the problem. I will most likely call them in the fall for a follow up application.

Jeff, arrive on time and pointed out location of runs and hills. He determined the most likely entry point onto our property and prescribed a quick solution. Since it was an early stage with only one significant run, he chose to treat immediately. We received follow up instructions and are confident that our problem is resolved for now.

Everything was performed in a timely manner. They were able to get me an appointment within a couple days. Bait was applied to help prevent mice, dusted crawlspace, sprayed indoors where possible. Inside was done first to prevent bringing in dirt from crawlspace. Technician was friendly and knowledgeable.

Very professional and thorough. Will definitely use again.

The experience was good, I liked them.

Technician arrived promptly. Walked the area with my husband to insure accurate coverage. Clearly explained timing for allowing our dog back onto the treated area. Products used worked like a charm. Would definitely hire again.

The company sent out an very nice employee very quickly, and he determined that I did not have a bed bug infestation. I was impressed that they were honest enough to let me know that I did not need to spend the money! I had pre-paid through Angie's List, and it took longer than I hoped to get a reimbursement, but everyone at ABES was professional and helpful. I would definitely use them if I need an exterminator.

Called AEBS, they informed me that they were too busy with their regular customers too come and help me with my raccoon problem, they did give me the name of someone that could help.

Easy to schedule. Prompt. Courteous.

The technician was prompt, thorough and very friendly.

It was quick. Provider found a small area after searching the whole house and showed me exactly where it was and what the options were as well as his professional suggestion.

Awesome job, price & the guy was nice professional &offered advice. We're renewing with ABES to come back next year.

They were extremely thorough in taking care of the problem. The cost was so reasonable.

ABES treated around our shed for termites. They were very responsive and great to work with. Will definitely use again in the future.

The service was excellent. When the ABES employee showed up, the job was clearly bigger than he had anticipated. He quickly called to reschedule another appointment so he could dedicate the time needed to do the job right. He kept me informed of everything he was doing while in my home and also took the time to educate me on potential issues my particular home would face with pest control in the future. Because of the design of my house (particularly the roof) and the location(the woods) the job was probably double the size I was quoted on the phone. I was quoted $450 for an initial visit and under $200 for any subsequent visit as long as I used them more than once a year. At the end, I think they only increased the fee by $50 dollars to cover a few of the extra traps used in the treatment. The service was guaranteed for 60 days, but has lasted 90+. We will definitely use ABES in the future.

They were very quick to respond and came out promptly. I called them back because I thought I had termites, he was honest and said they were not termites without coming out and charging me for a service call. They are very professional and nice to work with.

It was great. The bees just keep coming back. UPDATE 11/18/14- They've come back multiple times, and finally, we are finished with the bees! They've been great through the whole process.

I called Abe's Pest Control after we were told we may have carpenter bees and I found dried mud tubes in our basement and under our deck. Jeff made an appointment for the very next afternoon for the inspection.. He walked around the foundation and around our raised deck checking for signs of carpenter bees. I showed him what I found in our basement which turned out to be old mud dauber nests. Jeff did not find any active insect problems but explained the difference between termites mud tubes and mud dauber tubes. When he found out in conversation we are new to the area he gave us several recommendations to places we were looking for. He even gave us a brochure with several recommended small business owners on it. I would definitely recommend this company.

I called ABES to treat my home for ants mainly. The whole process from initial call to the service itself went very smoothly .

I have used them for years and have been very happy with their service. This last time, the technician pointed out some cracks in the basement wall that were allowing mice and snakes get inside. He told me to caulk it. An easy fix, but something I probably would not have noticed. They seem to know what they are doing.

Moles were making an unsightly mess of my front yard. I contacted Abes Pest Control because they got such positive reviews on Angie's List. I was really impressed with the prompt and professional service I received from Jeff King. He came to my home several times; the first to assess the problem and to mark the mole runs; next two times to apply poisoned bait to the runs; finally to check the grounds to make sure the moles were eliminated....they were! He took the time to explain the plan of action and kept me informed of each step along the way. The moles are gone, my yard looks nice and I am very happy. I would definitely recommend this service and would use this company again should the need arise.

They are absolutely fantastic. They know what they are doing and we have been using them since we moved in in 2004. They are professional and pleasant to work with. If I have questions, they will take the time to answer them. The bugs go away with their treatments, so we are pleased.
