Description of Work: I called because of ants in house. The owner thought he may have to treat the inside and outside of the house. As it turned out only the outside needed a treatment. Over a couple of weeks the ants stopped appearing in the house ... as he had said would happen. I am planning on having another treatment this year.

It was a great experience under the circumstances. The owner called before coming, showed up on time, and explained the situation thoroughly. He then set out a bait trap to catch a large rat that had been seen in our yard the previous two days. He said it may take a couple of days, but we have not seen Mr Rat since. I assume he got him. I would call this company again without hesitation. They did a great job.

He did and excellent job.
Description of Work: Called due to mice in my house so bad they have destroyed my stove. Called and spoke to owner Matt and he came the next day. Expained what was needed to ride the house of mice, with instructions to keeping them out in the future. He stands behind his work and will return if the mice do!

He was on time, friendly, pleasant, knowledgeable. Got the job done in a timely manner. We would call him again if necessary.
Description of Work: We had a carpenter ant nest in the garage attic and ants under the kitchen sink. He sprayed the nest, all around the base of the house, the entire deck, the breezeway, all the bathroom sinks, and all baseboards. We haven't seen an ant since.

See above. Call Matt first!
Description of Work: I wanted to submit a report even though my timing precluded me from using Matt. Matt went out of his way while he was on vacation to simply return my call and give me recommendations for others who might be able to help me when I needed. He literally returned my call 10 minutes after I placed it on a Saturday morning, in the middle of a few days off, just to let me know he couldn't help and to give ideas of who could. If I ever have a pest problem again he will be my first call and I will tell everyone I know about him. Clearly conscientious and caring about customers!

I had a column on my porch with signs of carpenter ants, but no other signs of them. Matt came on time, called first, and explained the what, where and why of it very carefully. He treated the ant hole with dust and spray and sprayed all around the rest of the porch. I then showed him a couple of other areas I had concerns about, and he clarified that one was not pests and the other I should keep an eye on but looked fine for now.
Description of Work: Dust and spray treatment of my front porch for carpenter ants. Advised me to watch a couple of other spots elsewhere but didn't feel the need to treat them.

Mr. Stover was available on the phone when I called and patiently listened to what I needed. He kindly offered any advice based on his expertise, what to do, what not to do and, ultimately, recommended I get professional help as carpenter ants can be challenging. Also, since I needed the pests removed from my massge studio, he was in complete understanding of my need not to create a toxic environment where I see clients. So, I told him what I had been doing and what I had been using, he explained the way to use each product effectively and said he could not ethically sell me chemicals that you need to be licensed to use. I appreciate his ethics and am just sorry that he isn't local enough for me to use.
Description of Work: I located this company which was the closest to me but it was out of his operating area. Nonetheless, Mr. Stover generously listened to my pest problem situation and offered his knowledge and advice on dealing with carpenter ants. He also recommended a company locally which I called and am very happy with.

We were very pleased with the work Matt did. I contacted several brand-name pest control outfits, but they wanted yearly contracts with monthly maintenance fees. Matt at Ants Etc. was very personable on the phone. After asking a few questions, he was able to provide a reasonable one-time estimate that was exactly what we ended up paying. He was flexible with his scheduling, and arrived right on time. He was courteous and respectful of our living space. He was friendly and made small-talk as he worked. I was happy to support a local businessman who did a great job.
Description of Work: Matt sprayed around outside of our house with a treatment specific to our particular type of infestation (carpenter ants). He was careful to not spray on vegetation. He sprayed inside of house, careful to avoid areas where our children play. He also applied bait to several inconspicuous areas. He was respectful of our house, offering to remove his shoes upon entering. He warranties his work, and will return if the problem does not clear up.
