It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was good.There were no additional charges. The quality of what they did was effective and it worked. They explained what they did. It wasn't that expensive and I've continued to have them come back. They don't charge that much.
Description of Work: I used NW Pest Control because I was having issues. They sprayed outside and left some poison outside. They also did some things inside.

We had a carpenter ant problem in one bathroom from the time we moved into our house. NW Pest came many, many times and just did the same outside spray/ inside bait procedure without actually trying to find and solve the problem. After some web research I decided that maybe I needed a spray into the walls; the NW Pest person said he didn't know how to do that. I called another company and the person spent about 45 minutes probing the area and trying to figure out where the ants were. The oher company then returned and did a single application, in the wall so no chemical exposure to my family, and problem solved. NW Pest just kept spraying chemicals all over my house to no effect--worse than if they had done nothing at all. There was also a very bad miscommunication: in desperation afer multiple years of failed treatments, I requested an exterior application of Termidor, which is a much more serious chemical than the regular quarterly spray. My understanding was that this was a 1-time application only to try to solve the problem once and for all; in fact I think you can only spray Termidor for ants twice a year by law in Mass. Well, when the next quarterly visit time came in Sept, they did not alert me they were coming, came when I was at work, and sprayed Termidor again without asking me and left a card telling me what they did. I spent the whole summer running around after my kids keeping them well away from the exterior of the house; now I will have to do the same all fall/winter as well.
Description of Work: Tried to address a carpenter ant problem; quarterly maintenance sprays for $90 per quarter.

No situation is ever the same. You had a routine maintenance with us where we came out on regular follow ups, which covered you for not only carpenter ants, but all other general pests (bees, moths, mice, rats etc…). Your account had permanent notes stating that you did not want us to use any chemical at all and preferred organics. These kinds of requests can make it very difficult to achieve what you are looking for when you have an active problem. After reviewing all of your appointments, it looks like most of the problems were exterior around the deck with carpenter bees. Once your ant problem started getting more serious, we tried to use a mild chemical (upon your approval). We gel baited instead of spraying, which is a green product where the ants will come out eat bait and bring back to nest, but this was after about a year of only using organics. It wasn’t until March of 2013 we were asked to go inside the bathroom, In May, as the ant season was starting to peak, we were asked to come and use Termidor on the exterior. This is a product that is use twice a year and that's what we did per request. When servicing ants, it is a process of elimination. When trying to start out with organic product only, it will take longer and that is what you asked for. As for showing up unannounced, this service was no different than any other service we had been providing since March of 2011, we send you either a post card or email reminder informing you of your next scheduled visit. We wouldn’t use anything that meant you had to stay away from your home for long periods of time. These products are very commonly used in our Industries. We have been providing quality pest control service since 1975 and pride ourselves on good customer service. We had done everything you ask for. Spring is around the corner and once again I'm sure you are going to see more ants- it is just part our environment, and we are here if we can be of any assistance. I think our reviews speak for themselves.

He came to review the problem for free. Gave me plenty of time to tell him everything. He offered two options: a one time treatment, with a 3 month warranty (would re-treat within that period). Or a treatment of both kitchen and outside perimeter of house, for a one year warranty (at about twice the cost). He was very friendly and was happy to answer all my questions. However, as in most cases, I had to be prepared to ask lots of questions to figure out how I should empty my kitchen in order for him to do the best handling he could, and, also, how to handle the kitchen after he had treated. If I had not asked questions, I might have been unsure how to manage this. As it was, it worked out fine. I took the cheaper option (the less spray the better), and these terrible pests were eliminated. (I had them not only in the kitchen, where they originated, but also in other rooms as well.) I also learned, now, to keep all grains, nuts, seeds in sealed plastic containers to avoid repeat of this.
Description of Work: He sprayed key areas of kitchen for pantry pests (Indian meal moth).

David Martin, pest control specialist, screened two access holes to the attic, set a one-way cage from the third most active access hole and placed two traps on the roof to remove squirrels from the house. Four squirrels were captured over four days and the access portal was screened. Problem solved. If the critters do return, we will take advantage of the one year warranty.

I thought he did a very thorough job, sealing every area that could be found. He used a combination of steel wool and sealant. He answered all of my questions, was very professional. The quality of the sealing job was excellent, no stray sealant anywhere and any leftover materials were removed, a nice clean job.
Description of Work: Inspected entire exterior of house including close inspection of roof, under deck, etc. for areas where rodents may be gaining access to the interior of the house. Inspector took about an hour, asked a lot of excellent questions and patiently explained all of the potential risk areas and various mitigation plans. I thought over the plans for about a week and then selected the one I thought was the best fit. I was able to schedule a revisit in less than a week. The same inspector came, which was a plus, since he was familiar with the house from his previous visit. He spent about 3 hours going over every inch of the exterior of the house and sealing many many areas where rodents could get in. He also installed 4 large bait traps around the foundation.

While doing fall cleanup, I found an infestation of insects that I suspected were termites near my garage. I called NW Pest and they scheduled an inspection appointment for a few days later. They gave me a 4 hour window for the appointment and they showed up within the time frame. He was very professional and helpful. Fortunately the insects were not termites! But he inspected all around the garage, the house foundation, and the basement just to confirm that there were no issues anywhere else. I really appreciated that he didn't try to up-sell me on any treatments that I didn't need, he answered all my questions, and gave me some helpful information for preventing problems. I would definitely use this company again.

A quick visit and re-applying pesticide to the outside of the house. Came promptly, was professional. Warned us to keep the dog inside for a few hours. I'm not sure if he thoroughly checked all the locations in the house where we'd seen signs of infestation in the past. Generally we are happy with the service.

Dave Martin, a licensed trapper, came out to give me a free estimate on getting rid of an animal in the walls of our house. Not only was he timely and thorough, he gave me advice on how I might be able to solve this problem myself. I completely appreciate his honest and integrity and will be referring his company to the mothers group (over 300 members) in my area. If I cannot solve this problem with the advice that he gave me, I will be calling NW Pest Control for certain.

I was having severe centipede issues in my condo and called NW Pest to help. They made an appointment the next day, spent over an hour at my place not just explaining the services they provide but also helping to identify the source of the issue. (He even climbed out on the roof in the pouring rain!) Everything was clearly explained, the fee was fair and the service was great - I highly recommend this company...

I purchased a Big Deal for this vendor last year and like the service technician so much (promptness, thoroughness and professionalism) that I signed up for their annual service. They automatically send out appointment reminders 4x a year, and their customer service is very helpful if you want to reschedule or narrow the appointment time. The one time the technician knew he was going to be later that planned, he called the day before to apologize for having to push back the time by 1 hour and to confirm that the new appointment time would work for me.

I was waiting to review these folks until a suitable time had passed. I live on the third floor of an old 3 family house. We have had problems with squirrels for a long time-this must be an ancestral home!-When young squirrels started looking in my windows I felt that was enough, and called NW Pest Control. The woman on the phone was courteous and helpful with scheduling a time for an assessment, and the employee (David) arrived on time (7 AM) and had already scoped everything out by the time I came downstairs. He completed the job quietly and efficently, returned early every AM to remove traps, and even responded to a neighbor's concern that there were babies in one corner by checking for them.After a period of 1 month,more squirrels had chewed a new hole. I called, half expecting to pay more, but David came out, screened the hole, set a new trap, and there was no charge. I'm hoping this will take care of our problem, but I wouldn't hesitate to call them in the future. Good job!

David quickly determined how the squirrel had gained access to the soffets and set a trap on the porch roof near the entry point. He trapped the squirrel within a day, and left the trap for a few more days but no additional animals were trapped. He put a metal grate over the holes and entry points to make sure no more animals got in. The price seemed a little excessive, but I think that's the way it goes when animals are involved. I didn't ask what he did to dispose of the squirrel, but I imagine he drove it far away and released it in the woods (at least that's what I tell the kids).

The bait in the container is safe for pets. We don't have a big problem but it is good to know that now we won't have a problem! We signed up for 4 more visits
