I liked him very much. He had given me a different price and then I told him about a lower price that another company had given me, which he then matched. He gave me a guarantee, for around 6 months. I was very impressed. He came out promptly and knew what he was doing. I informed him that I had 2 nests but we couldn't find one of them. He really, really looked for it but still couldn't find it. He told me that when I found it to call him back and he would come out at no charge. It turns out the person that takes care of my lawn already had gotten rid of the nest and that's why he couldn't find it.
Description of Work: They came out to get rid of bees.

So far I'm happy, but time will tell. It was a bat issue and they have a 5 year warranty that the bats will not return but like I said, time will tell.

They are very professional. They always call before they come out. I've had no issues with them and more importantly, no mice. The approximate cost listed is what we pay per quarter.
Description of Work: When we first moved into the house we saw mice. They came out and set up traps. Now we do a maintenance thing with them every quarter.

Rick has been in this community his entire life and knew the previous owners. He was extremely responsive, coming to our house the same day the first time I called him, and the day after I called him to take care of the hornets' nest. He knows his bugs. He is unintrusive and very thorough. He explains what he's doing and how he doing it. He goes everywhere -- every crawl space, every nook and every cranny.
Description of Work: Rick treated our home, inside and out, for spiders, centipedes and ants and also took care of a hornets' nest. We do not have any of these pests around anymore, except for the occasional spider -- NOTHING like it was prior.

Did a fine job. Clean, no mess. Would certainly use again.
Description of Work: Used delta dust to exterminate wasps in my porch. Would have preferred to let the winter get them, but I'm having work done next week and wanted the wasps gone for the carpenter's safety.

I had flies in my house. Richard told me it was probably from something dead in my house. He found the dead mice in my ceiling, removed the mice, sprayed the flies, found the hole where the mice were getting in, and then plugged the hole. He did all of his work after his ordinary work hours to accommodate my schedule. Truly great service!

Phone response immediate. The bat was clinging to the ceiling 2 stories up. He had to be tapped, moved, found and removed. All of this took 10 minutes tops. The bat was removed alive. Fast, successful, professional experience.

When I called, I spoke directly with Richard Standish and he was able to come to my house in a couple of hours. He was a bit late, however that was made up by his professional manner and very keen understanding of insects. I really appreciate someone who knows what they're talking about because it's awful when a person shows up with almost no understanding of your problem. Needless to say, job well done!

They came and took care of the problem. I never had any such problem after that. He also makes sure to call to inform if he is not able to come. I have used them many times and he had done great work for me. He guarantees his work and I totally trust him.

Richard was a little late (called after 15 min to say he was on the way). He was polite and knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, then got right to work. It took a couple of hours, didn't smell much, and he didn't leave any mess. He was careful around the masses of belongings piled up in our basement.

I called Rick on a Wednesday afternoon and we agreed to meet on Thursday afternoon. Rick was a few minutes late, but rang beforehand to say he would be. He was clean, tidy and thorough, spraying areas outside the affected area to make sure he covered all possible bases.
Description of Work: We had a problem with ants in our home. Rick reviewed the problem, asking many questions and put down a water based substance to kill them. We did not see any ants whilst he was present, but he was very thorough in spraying everywhere they could enter the house.

We had squirrels in our roof and the service performed to remove them was very professional and humane. Over the course of several days the animals were trapped in live traps and once they had all exited the structure, the area was sealed. We were very happy with the work and would definitely recommend this company.

Rick came out and checked our house when we found mice again. He has been great about coming out when they keep getting in. He did a thorough check of the perimeter of the house and we hope we found the latest point of entry.

Rick gave me an estimate for the work over the phone. When he came to do the work he admitted that he had under estimated the cost. However, he still honored the original quote.

He came over the day after we called, and he was very professional and really seemed to know what he was doing. He wasn't the cheapest exterminator to bid, but he was the only one who said that he'd get in the cracks to the ant's nest (rather than just spraying around the inside and outside), he also had a longer guarantee (18 months). He answered all of our questions and we'd definitely call him again.
Description of Work: Rick came over to spray for carpenter ants. He sprayed the cracks in the stucco around the perimeter of the house, and he also sprayed from the basement. As an additional service, since he had some spray left he sprayed around the kitchen for us because we had a different kind of ant in there.

His standard method is to prevent any mice from coming in, rather than killing what mice are in the house. We had a unique situation that called for unique measures. He was neat and cleaned up any mess. He has a discrete vehicle that does not announce to your neighbors what service you are using. He did give a 2 year guarantee against any mice, but it is too premature to say how effective his method has been. I will update this information later.
Description of Work: We had Richard Standish mortar any openings around the perimeter of our early 1900's home. He also dug screens in the ground to prevent any mice burrowing under the house and getting in that way.

The service worked at the time, but we did have to call them back within the two years. The owner came out and seemed to know what he was doing and he located where the mice were coming in. The service that they did give was good and worked for some years, but we'll have to call them again. It's been awhile.

I first called Rick on a Saturday and he answered immediately which was great. He was at our house two days later for the estimate, started the work that day and finished the next day. He was polite, informative and professional. We would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Rick went around the perimeter of our brick home, was able to identify where mice were getting in and had been getting in for years (as evidenced by the wood trim being eaten away!). He also thoroughly checked our garage and basement. He then went around and blocked all the potential entrance points with various materials. He was professional and informative. He guarantees his work for 2 years which is a great relief.

Mr. Standish called me back on the same day I left him a message. He was able to give me an estimate and one year guarantee on his work. He completed the work later the same week. He explained exactly what the problem was and how he intended to eliminate it. He answered my questions about the possible toxicity of the liquid he was spraying in my house (it is not harmful to kids or pets). He also sprayed and caulked a crack in the house foundation that was the entry point for the ants into the house. All in all, Richard Standish was very professional and courteous. I would recommend him to anyone needing insect control in the house.
