I REALLY APPRECIATED THE APPROACH OF ELIMINATING THE PROBLEM, RATHER THAN REPEATEDLY SPRAYING TO DEAL WITH THE SYMPTOMS. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY TROUBLE SINCE THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. HE ACTUALLY CHARGED LESS THAN HE QUOTED OVER THE PHONE BECAUSE HE SAID THE JOB WAS EASIER THAN HE HAD ANTICIPATED.

GREAT EXPERIENCE, OWNER CAME OUT HIMSELF. HE WAS ABLE TO COME OUT AT A TIME CONVENIENT TO ME. I APPRECIATED THAT HE SPENT TIME TALKING WITH ME AND DISCUSSING THE ISSUE. USED ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE PROCESSES. WE DIDN'T HAVE TO EVACUATE OR WORRY ABOUT OUR PETS. GAVE GREAT ADVICE ON OTHER ISSUES AS WELL. GREAT COST. WOULD USE AGAIN.

RICK WAS ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME VERY QUICKLY. I APPRECIATED HIS CALL TO TELL ME HE WAS RUNNING A LITTLE LATE. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS. I DON'T KNOW HOW HIS PRICES COMPARE TO OTHERS, SINCE I WENT BY THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF OTHERS ON THIS SITE. I WOULD USE HIM AGAIN IF NEEDED. HE DOES OFFER A 6 MONTH GUARANTEE ON HIS WORK AND SAID TO CALL IF HE NEEDED TO COME BACK AGAIN. A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE.

OVER THE PHONE, RICHARD WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT WE HAD A COUPLE OF INFESTATIONS OF PAVEMENT ANTS. HE WAS ABLE TO COME OUT THE SAME WEEK I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND SPRAY OUR ENTIRE HOUSE. THE FACT THAT HE USED A NON-TOXIC SPRAY WAS GREAT SINCE WE HAVE TWO CATS. SO FAR, WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE ANTS RETURN. THE GUARANTEE HELPS AS WELL, JUST IN CASE! OVERALL, RICHARD WAS VERY NICE TO WORK WITH AND WE ARE SATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE RENDERED.

Response from Professional Pest Control Inc
HIRED BY HOMEOWNERS TO MOUSE-PROOF A HOUSE. I CEMENTED, SCREENED, SEALED AND/OR CAULKED NUMEROUS MOUSE ENTRY POINTS INTO THE HOUSE. I PLACED SEVERAL TRAPS AND A COUPLE POISON BAITS IN THE BASEMENT, I INFORMED THE HOMEOWNER TO WAIT 2 - 3 WEEKS AND CALL IF MICE PERSISTED, AS A TWO-YEAR GUARANTEE WAS ISSUED. ON 9-23-03, HOMEOWNER REPORTED NOISES WERE HEARD IN MANY CEILING AND WALL AREAS. SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT THE NEXT DAY AT 6:00PM. ON 9-24-03, ARRIVED AT 5:50PM AND WAITED UNTIL 6:45PM. NO ONE WAS AT HOME. I CALLED HER DURING THE DRIVE HOME, AND SHE SAID HER BUS WAS LATE; SORRY. ON 9-25-03 STOPPED BY EARLY PM TO CHECK ROOF- EAVES FOR POSSIBLE ANIMAL IN ATTIC. FOUND LITTLE SIGN OF ENTRY, FASTENED LOOSE SOFFIT, EXPLAINED FINDINGS. ON 1-10-04, CHECKED HOUSE AND ATTIC FOR MOUSE SIGNS. FOUND NO ACTIVITY. HUSBAND INFORMS ME HE HADN''T CAUGHT ANY MICE SINCE I WAS HIRED. ADDED MANY TRAPS ANF BAITS. ON 2-23-04, MET HUSBAND TO CHECK FOR MOUSE SIGNS. FOUND NO SIGN WHATSOEVER OF MICE.

WE HAD A PRETTY BAD PROBLEM WITH MICE IN OUR 115-YEAR-OLD HOUSE. MR. STANDISH CAME OUT AND CEMENTED OVER ALL THE HOLES IN THE FOUNDATION, INCLUDING CRAWLING UNDERNEATH THE FRONT DECK AND BACK PORCH. HE ALSO PUT BAIT TRAPS OUT FOR ANY MICE LEFT IN THE HOUSE. HE GAVE US A 2-YEAR NO-MICE GUARANTEE. WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY MICE SINCE. OTHER COMPANIES SAID THEY WOULD PUT OUT BAIT AND 'PLUG ANY HOLES WE CAN SEE', THEN COME BACK IN THREE MONTHS AND DO IT AGAIN. RICHARD'S SERVICES WERE MORE EXPENSIVE, BUT ALSO MORE PERMANENT - WORTH THE EXTRA COST.

HE'S GOOD AT FINDING THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. WE ONLY FOUND A FEW OF THE PLACES WHERE THE MICE WERE GETTING IN. HE SPECIALIZES IN KEEPING THEM OUT AND HE ALSO HAS A VARIETY OF POISONS WHICH HE IS RESPONSIBLE ABOUT PLACING THEM SO THAT PETS CAN'T GET INTO THEM. IF YOU HAVE A DIFFICULT PROBLEM THAT YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT, HE'S THE GUY TO CALL. HIS METHODS WORK BETTER THAN THE FRANCHISE EXTERMINATORS WHO LEAVE A FEW PACKAGES OF POISON WHICH ARE ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. BUT.. HIS PRICES ARE VERY HIGH. HE USED CAULKING TO PLUG UP THE HOLES AND CRACKS AROUND THE BASEMENT WINDOWS AND CHIMNEY AND AT THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE FOUNDATION AND THE TOP EDGE WHERE THE MICE WERE CHEWING THEIR WAY INTO THE WOOD UNDERNEATH OUR ALUMINUM SIDING. MY ADVICE: BEFORE YOU CALL, LOOK CAREFULLY AND CLOSELY AT THE FOUNDATIONS OF YOUR HOUSE AND IN YOUR BASEMENT. GET A GOOD INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR CAULK AND TRY THAT FIRST.

HE SEEMED KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: I SAW EVIDENCE OF SOME KIND OF WOOD BORING INSECT IN MY BASEMENT. (SAWDUST-LIKE MATERIAL EJECTED FROM UNDER FLOOR JOISTS NEAR FOUNDATION.) I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH RICK STANDISH, WHO IS ALSO THE PERSON WHO DID THE WORK. I DESCRIBED WHAT I SAW, SAYING THAT I THOUGHT I HAD CARPENTER ANTS. RICK ASKED ME SOME QUESTIONS AND QUOTED ME $350 OVER THE PHONE TO TREAT MY HOUSE FOR CARPENTER ANTS. MY APPOINTMENT WAS FOR WEDNESDAY AT 9:00 A.M. I TOLD HIM I HAD TO BE AT WORK AT 11:00. HE SAID HE'D BE FINISHED WELL BEFORE THAT TIME. AT 9:15, HE HADN'T ARRIVED YET, SO I CALLED HIM. HE SAID HE WAS A FEW BLOCKS AWAY; AND 5 MINUTES LATER, RICK ARRIVED AND LOOKED AT THE AFFECTED AREAS. HE DETERMINED THAT I DID NOT HAVE CARPENTER ANTS, BUT PAVEMENT ANTS; AND HE ADJUSTED THE PRICE DOWN TO $90 TO TREAT JUST THE AFFECTED AREAS FOR PAVEMENT ANTS. I WAS GRATEFUL FOR HIS APPARENT INTEGRITY IN ONLY CHARGING ME FOR WORK DONE TO FIX THE ACTUAL PROBLEM.

FOR SOME TIME UNSUCCESSFULLY. THIS GENTLEMAN WAS RELENTLESS IN FINDING WHAT THESE BUGS WERE FEEDING ON. HE REMOVED THE BOTTOM OF MY DISHWASHER AND FOUND A BUNCH OF DOG FOOD THAT A MOUSE HAD ONCE CACHED (I HAVE NO DOGS). SINCE THAT WAS CLEANED OUT AND SPRAYED THE BEETLES HAVE GONE.
