The service was fair. I actually bought from a different company later on and they actually found a lot more than he found. There were no extra charges. I do not think I would recommend them. They completed the service within an hour. It was quick. Everything was fine.
Description of Work: I purchased a $199 rodent exclusion package through Downes Pest & Wildlife. The reason I had them come out was to identify entry points and close up entry points.

Potential entry points were sealed around perimeter of the home, interior of the home was inspected for droppings, and traps were placed in garage, attic, and basement. Have not heard any noises from the attic since last week so I'm hopeful the issue has been resolved!

Downes is a dependable company with great staff. I've used them in the past, and was pleased they were still in business when my ant problem reared its ugly head again this past spring. The price for Downes ant spraying service is competitive, and you are guaranteed that the problem is resolved or they will return and spray a second time. I did have to call for a second treatment, but the technician came quickly and asked for more detail on the sightings so he'd have the best chance of hitting the nesting areas. The second spray was a success, and I would highly recommend Downes for any pest solution services.
Description of Work: Sprayed for carpenter ants.

The CS rep quickly arranged an appointment, and the young man who came arrived cheerful and on-time. He quickly tended to the task at hand, and assured me that if the spray was not completely successful, the company would come out again to spray a second time. As things happened, we had an extended stretch of rain not long after the initial spray (which no doubt diluted the first application.) New ants appeared soon after, so I did call to request the company return for a second round of spraying. Another young man arrived soon after (again, a cheerful sort) and did the second spray. We had no problems thereafter.
Description of Work: We had an issue with Carpenter Ants, so we called Downes to come and spray around the foundation.
