David arrived promptly and proceeded to use his two sprays in the nooks and crannies, door frame, window frame and strategic indoor/outdoor barriers. He is a true pro at this. He and the owner assured me that if the first application did not fully eradicate the ants, he would come back as part of the same work order.

We had used Annihilators in the past when we were selling our house and knew they were a great company from our experience. But our new house was inundated with hornets, wasps and yellow jacket nests. We lived with them peacefully until they started coming into the house and stung my husband multiple times. Annihilators came out very quickly and had a rough time getting to some of the nests as they were in difficult to reach places. The guy was amazing, we watched from safely inside and couldn't believe he didn't get stung. We're very thankful for their quick work and no more pests!

Termite Inspection was done on the home in Howard County. Joseph Clark stated in his report that there was no visible evidence of previous termite treatment and no visible evidence of wood destroying insects. The seller's of the home had previously treated the home and there was visible evidence out on the deck and other areas of the home. When the buyers moved in and begin doing some minor renovations, they found that termites had completely damaged the main support beam and the joists in a section of the home that is built over a crawl space with no vapor barrier. The crawl space was obviously never checked by Annihilators. The damage is so bad that two contractors have advised the new owners that it may be cheaper to tear down that section of the house than it would be to make the repairs needed to insure the home is structurally sound. I WOULD NEVER USE ANNIHILATORS FOR A TERMITE INSPECTION.

Description of Work: We have gotten ants the last few summers. We started using Annihilators Inc at that time. Everyone we've dealt with has been friendly and responsive. It takes 2-3 treatments (usually within a couple weeks of each other) to get rid of all ants but then we are set for the summer.

Disappointing performance. Annihilators Inc of MD conducted a pest inspection for us as part of the inspection process for our home sale. The inspector, David, was very nice and professional. He notified me that the only pest evidence he found was four holes in our deck as evidence of wood bee activity. This was noted on his report as well as a recommendation for treatment, which Annihilators wrote they could perform for $160.00. The price seem high and I contacted another local pest control company and spoke with their entomologist. The entomologist quoted their price for treatment, which was less than half of $160.00. The entomologist stated that writing the finding of wood bee activity on the report was appropriate, but that recommending treatment was not. He said wood bees were not active in the Fall, at the time of the inspection, and further that if treated now it would not prevent wood bees from coming back in the Spring. However since the report recommended treatment, I was required to pay for “treatment” or else the house loan could not be completed as evidence of treatment was required. The entomologist also noted that I should have received a graph showing the location of the pest evidence, which I had to call Annihilators and specifically request. The entomologist noted that some pest companies make a lot of their money conducting “treatment” they say is recommended following an inspection for a home sale. Annihilators did offer to “work with me” on the price, but only after I had called to discuss the treatment. Given their questionable recommendation for treatment, their high initial quote for treatment, and their lack of the required graph, I can not recommend Annihilators. D. Norton, Columbia, MD

We were in a hurry to have a house we were buying inspected. It was right before Thanksgiving but they fit us in. They even called me and sent us the results on Black Friday before collecting payment. Very trusting, personable company that I highly recommend.

Called and set up and appointment with about a week and a half lead time. Okay fine. Received a call an hour before the appointment telling me that my service would have to be re-scheduled due to an illness. The girl told me that no one would be in my area till next Thursday and that was the earliest appointment I could get. I explained that I thought I should be put at the top of list and that I would post my experience on this site, the girl was fine with all that. I'll update my review once the service has been completed.

They were great, prompt, and courteous! Our house is on the market, and I'd just planted new flower beds--they had to treat areas in those beds, and they replaced everything that was disturbed! It looks like it was never touched. They were thorough and knew what they were doing, we'd definitely recommend them!

I called Annihilators to get an estimate on termite abatement. The woman I spoke with on the phone refused to give me any kind of estimate; she told me they couldn't even give me a price range without seeing the house. Because I was looking for a provider to work in a house I was in the process of purchasing, an onsite evaluation was not possible. Although I appreciate the fact that they would want to see the situation and be able to give a fairly accurate estimate, I called several other pest management providers that day and the others were all able to give me at least a list of prices per service. Ultimately, I chose to work with a different company (one that took the time to really listen to my situation and explain what they could do to help, and give me a range of how much each scenario might cost.)
Description of Work: I requested prices for termite abatement, but Annihilators was unable to provide a list of services/prices without an onsite evaluation.

We do appreciate the feedback and I am the "woman/person" that you spoke to, my name is Crissi ..... My apologies for any inconvenience on your end that came from us. For us, it is very important to give an accurate estimate and that is why we need to do a physical estimate onsite.... On site proposals is very important because as company's prospective we need to do an overview to see if there is any presenting damage/evidence from termites /and all wood destroying insects. Furthermore, the opportunity us meeting onsite also gives you the best price at the service call. It also helps answer any questions or concerns while we are there. Having in on phone estimate only gives you an "up in the air" estimate. We have just learned after having over 40 years of experience, we feel it is a better way to make things run smoother for everybody. If you would like feel free to contact me and hopes we might be able to help you out in the future! Again, we love to hear from everyone's experience from a customers view... We do take in every opinion and that is what makes us strive as a company.

I love the guy; he did a great job but missed the fact that I have termites. I had them come out to review the house for ants and they told me they ants could be controlled but he missed seeing termites. A second company came over and found the termites. He was responsive and punctual. I would consider getting another estimate in the future.

They found termite tubes, but failed to note the extent of the damage. The sill plate is toasted and I can stick my finger through it. I would expect this to be in the report. It was visible and out in the open, not hidden. I would have been happier if the report said there was damage. But it did say to contact a pro to determine the extent of the damage. So, I really can't complain. They did come back out and show me where all the issues were. which was very nice and more then anyone can expect for a cheap inspection..

Member, We wanted to touch base with you because I am trying to locate you in our system for the July 7th 2011 and we do not have you in our records.. We take customer comments very seriously. I wanted to pull out everything to go over the paperwork. The only thing that I have for the property that was stated was back in Jan 2011. Furthermore, I am a bit confused to the fact that their was amount of $40.00 ( we do not have anything in our fees that reflect that Amount) Again, we do take it seriously especially this matter that was mentioned.... I personally wanted to reach out to you ....Please give us a call 410-465-1778 Crissi Accts Mgr

So far it looks pretty good. There are no termites. They were very responsive and punctual. I am moving out of this house and that is why I am getting this job done. I was out of town when they came to do the job but my wife had it done. I had received 3 quotes for the job; $900, $1200 and Annihilators came in at $750.
