I have not seen any ants since, and they did not try to upsell me on termite service I don't need (yet). Other estimates we received tried to sell us everything.

The Technician arrived about 1/2 hour earlier than scheduled, which was fine by me. I explained the problem areas where we were seeing a lot of ants. I showed him around the house. The technician explained in detail what he was going to do and answered all of my questions. We had to leave the house in order for him to treat it. He was finished with his work in about an hour. I returned to pay him and he answered additional questions I had. I was very pleased with the outcome. We have not seen many ants since the treatment. We see one once in a while and he told us that would be the case. I would definately hire them again, in fact, I signed up for the annual contract so I wouldn't have to deal with another ant problem.
Description of Work: I had a problem with carpenter ants throughout the house. They inspected the house for ant nests and treated the interior and exterior of my property. The property is a large 2 family with 3 bedrooms on each floor.

The tech was on-time and very personable. While we had no actual carpenter ants in the house that we know of, I did a quick walk through of the inside of the house, and he explained places he would use their Colonial's products. During that time, he also reviewed the safety of the various products he was going to use and ensured our cat would be ok. I also showed him the evidence of infestation outside near our chimney where I had only seen a few "reproductive" winged ants and other ants. We discussed what the charge would be, though I was already informed when I made the appointment so I knew what to expect, and then he started his procedure, which took about an hour to complete. He was very clear when it was safe to go where and what we should expect to see. The tech recommended I remove the ivy from the chimney since the ants where using it as stairs and while I was considering it before, this helped me make up my mind and over the weekend, the ivy was gone. He cautioned that we might see juveniles hatch out two weeks from the date of treatment, but they should also die from the persistent treatement within a week. If we see any ants 1 month after treatment we should call them and re-treat. Our warranty is good through 12/31. I also signed up for their "managed care" service where they come out twice a year, springish and later in the summer i believe and spray. This will prevent other pests from annoying us and infiltrating our house. The tech also made it clear that as part of the coverage for the year, the will take care of wasps, hornets, etc. Since we have had some nests in the past, I will have Colonial's number on speed dial.
Description of Work: On the 1st real balmy day, I cam home to see some flying ants and other ants having a part on one side of my house next to the chimney. I was able to se the Home Defense spray and hose to get most of them, but rather than wait to see when they came back, I called Colonial Pest Control on a recommendation from my neighbor to come out and spray and get rid of any nests or breading groups for carpenter ants. I also did some quick research on Angie's list and after reading comments and their ratings I knew I had the right company. When booking the appointment, I was provided a ton of information as to what I was seeing and then what services Colonial offers. Aftter discussing, I made an appt and only a few days after my call. Wen they came out (see story below), the tech coated all the areas that I noticed ants and then all the areas he felt could potential see ants, both in the house and outside the house. In the house recieved a mixture that had no smell, and held no hazard to people or pets but was slowly lethal to the ants.

The tech was on-time and very personable. He met our cat and toddler before he got to the door, and we reviewed the safety of the products he was going to use. I showed him the evidence of infestation and he insisted on checking the attic where I had only seen a few "reproductive" winged ants, and was surprised to see a huge crowd of them soaking in the warmth from the shingles. We discussed what the charge would be and then he started his procedure, which took about an hour to complete. He was very clear when it was safe to go where and what we should expect to see. He was very happy that he was able to spray a couple of "mobs" of ants in the attic directly. He cautioned that we might see juveniles hatch out two weeks from the date of treatment, but they should also die from the persistent treatement within a week. If we see any ants 1 month after treatment we should call them and re-treat. Our warranty is good through 12/31 There is a reason these guys get consistent A+ I was kicking myself that I forgot the coupon. Hire them BUT DON'T FORGET THE COUPON!
Description of Work: May 6th was Antgeddon. The Carpenter Ants were very proud. They marched through our kitchen and bathroom at will. Stomp a scout here or there and the rest would just ignore you and scurry away. There were too many of them. They ranged through the trash no matter how frequently it was brought out. They knew nothing could come of it. They didn't know who the visitor was, or what was in the small tanks. What of it? Then their "flash mob" in the attic got sprayed. Their favorite routes along the foundation were coated. Their hunting trails also. Favorite spots in the house recieved a mixture that had no smell, and held no hazard to people or pets but was slowly lethal to the ants. The visitor departed after an hour and a half. The next day a few ants made an appearance. Then one juvenile the following day. And no more. The hunting trails that fifty ants at a time followed are deserted. The walls are quiet.

It is automatic. They come and do what they are supposed to do. They are great. I have not had any problems with them. They are very patient. I call them up and say whatever problem I have. They come when there is a problem with no extra charge and this is apart from the two visits they have on the contract. They don?t charge me for that. No matter what happens, they are there for me. They are really great.

I was irritated by one employee who refused to remove his outdoor shoes or to at least wear shoe covers when inside my home (if that happens again I'll cancel my contract with them). I'm also annoyed right now that an appointment I had for Monday this week was not kept. Whilst it was raining outdoors and it didn't make sense to spray outside, I needed the inside of my house treated. I've not receive any phone call to reschedule the appointment or to apologise for me waiting for them to arrive on Monday. On the whole, this is an excellent company. The animal exclusion work has been very successful to date.
Description of Work: I have used Colonial Pest Control both for regular bug spraying at my home and also for animal exclusion work after a flying squirrel was caught and removed by another company (who charged much more for the exclusion work). The reason I went with Colonial for the exclusion work was their more sensible estimate and the fact they guarantee their work for 2 years. Bug spraying is done outside twice per year. If you have a problem indoors (mice, ladybugs, seed bugs, etc.) you need to call the company and ask them to specifically treat indoors. Bug spraying contract price is very reasonable - check directly with Colonial and ask for an estimate.

So far, so good. The service today was great. The gentleman who arrived was very punctual; he showed up 15 minutes early. He was very professional and respectful of my home. The treatment is guaranteed through next March. It wasn't a strong odor, either. I didn't smell anything at all.

I will continue this report when I have the work completed.
Description of Work: I have not had the services done yet... however they offered a free estimate so I went with them over another company that wants to charge $289 just to come out. I think after that alone, and all the reviews this company has... I will probably go with their service if I need it. The gentleman was polite and listened politely to my concerns. I would have loved an earlier appointment, however for the free estimate, plus the coupon offered here, I won't complain.

Had a mouse problem along w/ carpenter ants. They came & diagnosed the problem, treated the house, and I haven't had a problem since then. They were the third company to come out & service the issue & didn't charge me even half what the other companies charged & they actually fixed the problem. I signed up for a biannual maintenance program & am glad I did. Would definitely recommend them.

I was very happy with them. The service cost me $150. It was right inline with what I expected. I had some wasps that had built their nests under the roof of the bay window. So, they came out and put in a natural pesticide. It was good that they used that. So, they got rid of the wasps for me. Their quality was very good. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I use Colonial Pest Control. The last time they came out was nine months ago.

They worked out really well and they were fantastic. They had to come back a second time and they didn't charge me. They guarantee their work. They were really good. I thought the price was pretty good and they definitely knew their stuff. I have a 2-year old and I was worried about all their stuff. They printed out all this documentation showing EPA and other things. They were very thorough.

Every employee has been professional and pleasant and extremely knowledgeable.
Description of Work: Originally hired Colonial Pest Control in May of 2008 to exterminate both carpenter ants and to set traps for termites. Since then we have been on their annual service contract. We have not had a carpenter ant problem since they started treating our home. Also, after one-year without any signs of termites(we had one swarm of them around the garage in May 2008, which is why we decided to go with the termite traps) it appeared that there were no termite colonies, so we had the traps removed without incident. Very knowledgeable employee's. Highly recommend them.

Rep came on time and was extremely pleasant. Explained everything he was doing; everything he was using and explained all the services that I would get out of becoming a customer. The treatment worked thus far (there will likely need to be several iterations) but I really have to rave about the service. It was just a very pleasant experience for me - I highly recommend this company.

They came and provided an estimate for both issues. Then he called back and advised we hold off on doing anything about the animal in the vent for a few weeks. This worked and saved us a lot of money. We scheduled the work for the ant extermination and the exterminator was extremely knowledgeable and provided a wealth of useful information to help us prevent issues going forward. He was able to locate the 3 colonies and spray them from outside instead of inside lowering the risk to us and our children. His approach seems to have worked. He performed the work last week and we haven't seen any ants for a few days now. The told us if they do come back, they will spray again at no additional charge.
Description of Work: We had two issues that required assistance. One was the issue of an animal in a vent. The other was an issue with carpenter ants. Colonial Pest Control provided extermination services for the ants.

They baited the house with a brand new product said to be more effective than ever before, and will return on the 30th to check the results. Again at no charge.
Description of Work: I have a rental proerty in Worcester that seemed to have a problem with mice this winter. They have been diligent about returning again and again to make sure the problem was eradicated. The $295.00 charge was actually paid in October when they made their first visit. But they have been back 4 more times since and charged NOTHING, despite the fact that the last call was out of the 6-month guarantee window. I have also been using them for years at my home. Two annual treatments for $270.00, and if you have ANY problems throughout the year . . .bugs, critters . . .anything, and they come out for free. Great service, quick response, great prices, even weekend hours most of the year.

Called for an estimate and was able to schedule an appointment for less than a week later. The tech (I believe named Jim) was both friendly and professional, and offered advice on preventing future visits from the wasps. After the spray we have only seen the occasional wasp outside, and very few in the house. They guarantee their work for the entire season, so should it become a problem again we'll call them and test it out and report back. Overall completely satisfied at this time and may call them for additional work as we've seen some rodents as well.
