I had a pesky little field mouse. Service man came out promptly and assessed the house, laid down the bait traps and has since come back twice to check on things. I would definitely recommend this company!

Noticing a few carpenter ants inside the house first and then seeing a few dozens of them at once (we have never had them inside the house before), I called three companies on Angie's list to ask about one-time service prior to calling NW Pest. The quotes went from about $400 to $700 for one-time application outside the house. No preliminary consultation was offered. Unlike those companies NW offered to send an inspector to assess the problem and give me recommendations for free. Matt came the next morning, right on time, observed the house from inside and outside and gave me a thorough and honest explanation of what he thought was going on. He suggested the one-time outside application, warrantied for three months. It was basically the same thing other companies would do without even looking at my house. The quote was $195 which came down to $160 after the coupon on Angie's list was applied. I haven't seen one carpenter ant inside the house in 48 hours since the service. Judge for yourselves. I will hire NW Pest in a heart beat if I have a pest control problem in the future.

First John came out to lay a few traps around the outside of the house to catch mice before they can enter it. He was very nice. Explained everything he was doing and gave me a price upfront. Then I asked John about something entering my house thru my bathroom air vent. He said this is not something he would be able to do but he would be happy to have animal control come out and check the air vent. He then scheduled the appointment for me when he went back to his office. Dave came out a few days later and he cleaned the vent and put a screen on it so nothing can get in the vent again. This time I also received the price upfront. Dave was very nice too. He gave me his card and told me to call if I had any other problem. I highly recommend this company. I was very happy with the service and the representatives they sent to my home. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: I had NW Pest control come twice to my home. Both times I received prompt service to take care of two different problems. First set traps-mouse problem and Second visit put screen on bathroom vent.

They scheduled a several hour time window to take a look at the nest, and called in the last hour of that window to say they would be a few minutes late (~ 15 minutes outside the appointment). He arrived, gave me a price for applying insecticidal dust, and I chose to have the treatment done then. The treatment was effective within 24 hours. There is apparently some residual product on my deck and around the door which I may have to clean up, but he told me which product he used so I'm not uncomfortable doing that.

Response from NW Pest Control Inc
[Member Name Removed], . I do apologize that the technician was 15 minutes out of range, due to unseen circumstances it can sometimes happen. This is why we use a four hour time frame. The residue you noticed could of been from the flight of wasp going into the wall area. Unfortunately any wall void nest is not as cut and dry as a visible hive. I believe there is a warranty to the area treated, if you need to have it treated again ,please call the office. You can request a first am appointment or Saturday. Thanks robin

I was told they would be out to house to give free estimate on Wednesday between 8-11am. Well, they came early, saw my problem but I was told service person couldn't do it alone. But would be back later in day to take care of nest. They did a Fantastic job! The nest is gone. Also a little bit of the nest fell in a neighbor's yard and they went and cleaned it up. (they asked neighbor first) Great Job,The wife and I couldn't be happier. Thank You GeorgeM
Description of Work: I called them on a Monday when my wife saw a large Wasp nest near the house.

Many communication issues with scheduling initial consult and actual service. Office did not seem to relay the correct information to the field agents. Office did not have our quote on file. Never received reminder call as promised the day before scheduled service date. A calamity of errors. It took about 3 weeks to get it all straightened out. Service was finally performed, and no sign of ants so far 11 days later.

[Member Name Removed] Sorry to hear that you had some obstacles during the time of NW Pest treating your home. I did review the account and there was a call night before, but unfortunately it was not in the correct field.( which I understand is very frustrating) As for the estimate in the office, Our office only has the estimate when the service tech turns work in, Some of my service men are not at the office each day, so it may not get to the office staff right away. The staff does contact the service tech when an estimate is needed for scheduling purposes. I did see that we were able to accommodate you and the treatment was performed with the week. sorry for the troubles Robin

one visit the inspector was good. the other visits not so good
Description of Work: Careful when you buy a deal through Angie's the agreement goes on forever, not just one year like you think. One of the four visits they showed up in the winter, without warning (I wasn't home), inspected the sidewalk, and left an invoice. Now they are charging me $100 for this visit, regardless of endless phone calls and emails to dispute this as a "real" visit. I continue to get a bill.

[Member Name Removed] , I am sorry if things were not what expected the second service with the technician. As for the third contract, It is an a program that automatically renews unless either party cancel 30 day prior. It is in the contract signed, and I did rectify the situation when brought to my attention and credit your account for the $100 service billed before cancelation. Robin

Wonderfully. The technician, Paul, was honest and informative. He arrived well within the time frame given. He explained that damage I was seeing was not due to insects but water/ice. He answered all my questions and inspected the area of the basement that butts up on the damage area. I was so appreciative that he answered all my questions (including how to prevent or remedy infestation if needed). Before his arrival I had been worrying so many "signs" (Internet videos had heightened my anxiety about what I might be facing) and Paul's expertise, information, and communication reassured me. I will highly recommend NW to others and will keep their number for future use.

Prompt attention, inspection shortly after I called, Staff came out a few days later and sealed holes in exterior, showed me where animal had chewed his way through the the eave into our home, and showed me their findings. They set 2 kinds of traps and came out frequently to check traps. They also re-inspected the attic, since animal was not caught in trap, but noise and gnawing sounds stopped. They will keep coming by to inspect traps until we are sure animals are gone, and gave a 1 year warranty.
