They did a great job!
Description of Work: The Ward technician arrived late in the appointment window due to previous appointments. He inspected the attic and found evidence of field mice and the opening used in the roof for their entrance to the house. Traps were set in two primary areas of activity. Then an inspection was performed in the garage, basement and around the exterior of the house. Recommendations were made for a follow-up appointment to ensure there were no future problems. On the follow-up appointment three days later, the gap in the roof joint was sealed and wire mesh put over other vents. Large gaps in corners of the garage were sealed so there were no chances of future entry to the attic. This was done outside the house also. Three field mice were caught in the traps set in the attic. We ahve not had any additional problems since the visit of the Ward technician. They did a great job and another follow-up visit is scheduled. All this at no additional cost.

Description of Work: This was the most professional company I've encountered in recent years. I had an immediate need for service and even though I was redeeming an Angie's List Deal, they quickly booked my service. The problem was identified and corrective action taken to seal up access points and treat areas within my home. I was extremely pleased with the service.

Description of Work: We had trouble scheduling the service and finally could get them to come and treat. They had to re-treat as there was minor improvement with the ants. Scheduling for the season treatments was difficult and they would come when they pleased without notification. They were missing on the customer service when we called. I would not use them for the next season. Maybe they were too busy.

Thanks for reporting your feedback to Angie's List. In reviewing the history of your account, we did have you signed up to receive an email service reminder 1 week and one day prior to each of our scheduled visits. We are sorry to hear that you felt as though we were lacking in our communication and strive to make certain that this is not a recurring issue for any of our clients. Unfortunately, there was no indication to us that you did not receive our notices as we would have made every effort to ensure that spam filters and other email settings would not interfere with this communication. If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Very well.
Description of Work: Service tech arrived right on time, inspected our home for likely mouse entry points and proceeded to block these off. Listened to all my questions and provided good answers and advice. Placed traps and bait in the attic. Called a week later to follow-up but we could not set the appointment at that time, so will try again later. Work was done quickly, efficiently and we have not heard or seen a mouse in the house since!

he could
Description of Work: I had a problem with droppings in a closet. Service provider said it was mouse droppings and to make sure to close up any holes that could admit a mouse and then put out traps to catch any mice that are in the house. He inspected the perimeter of the house and identified 2 places that needed to be closed up. He said any handyman could do it more inexpensively than he could and charged me only $25 for a service call on a Saturday, late in the day. We have very smart mice because after the holes were closed and I put out sticky traps, the mouse ate the peanut butter without getting caught. Now for some more aggressive traps.

See above.
Description of Work: Sadly, one of us came home from a trip with bedbugs, increasingly a more common experience. The Company, to which we were referred by our usual pest control (termite) control company gave us an inspection date, and good riddance date, and came back with dogs to sniff our any remnatns of the pests. This is one of the few companies that uses the "heat" method rather than the chemical method to take care ot the problem. What we spent for their services we saved in driycleaning and other associated expenses, and the heat method, apparentloy works very well. We have seen no evidence of any critters in 4 months, and we are very happy about that.

Thank you for reporting your review of our Thermal Remediation (Heat Treatment) Solution for Bed bugs. This innovative technology limits the amount of intensive preparation that is needed with traditional liquid treatments. It also effectively kills bed bugs in one treatment, as compared to two or more. We are happy to hear that you are satisfied with the service that we provide.

I love this company.
Description of Work: We hired them to get rid of stink bugs in the spring, which was part of a three-times-a-year service. No more stink bugs. They contacted us before the next service, so I called them back and left a message about an ant problem. They contacted me via email to let me know they got the message, and now the ants are gone.

Description of Work: I called because I thought we were infested with termites. OVER THE PHONE the operator reassured me by knowledgeably describing the pest and identifying it!! It turned out not to be termites and they didn't pressure me to buy any services I diddn't need. I will call them again WHEN I DO HAVE PESTS!! Wonderful in this day to get someone who doesn't try to force you to buy something you don't need.

Description of Work: Called to hire them for carpenter bee removal. Gave me the upfront price and we attempted to schedule an appointment, then they wanted my credit card information over the phone, prior to coming for an appointment and any work performed! I said I was not comfortable with that and that I would give card info when the tech was here. After checking with manager, they would not do this. I do not pay any service provider prior to a tech arrival and or services provided !!!

Response from American Pest
Thank you for reporting your experiences to Angie's List. It is out of concern for our clients that all payment information (cash, credit, checks) be handled through our administrative accounting division. In this way, we can make certain that all the information pertaining to payment remains secure. Credit card information, specifically, becomes encrypted once it is entered and therefore cannot be intercepted by others. This same level of security is difficult to maintain in the field and therefore we adhere to this policy for each of our 5000+ residential clients. It is equally important to understand that we do not charge in advance for services rendered. It is our practice to provide an estimate, communicate that estimate, agree upon a service date and time, schedule the service, collect payment information, service the property, provide documentation of the service and lastly, process payment for the service rendered.
