It took them three trips before they got it under control. The service person was excellent, but the person on the phone was not excellent and was rather rude. The service person was determined to get the ants under control and he did it. It took several calls for me to get to them. They gave me a 60 or 90-day guarantee. I would recommend others to look for a longer guarantee.

I had them probably in October 2010. When I contracted them for services they set up the trap for me. They were very efficient. They came when they were supposed to. The contractors come 3 times a year to check. They’ll come if I have any problems with the insects or anything. I like their efficiency as it’s seemed to work so far. Their price is okay as I really don’t have anything to go by. I would continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: I used the services of Laughlin Pest Control in April. They checked the bee trap and they sprinkled granules around the house.

They were very prompt and did what I asked them to do. They responded within two hours of my call. The price included an inspection and setting up traps because I had something in my basement and I didn't know what it was. I didn't compare prices.

The service person was efficent and polite. Thanks the his inspection, I am not worried about my eaves, and I know what I will need to do in the Spring to prevent a chimney invasion next winter. The squirrels are gone, and I am pleased with the service. It comes with a warranty, should my 4 legged creatures return. I also like that it is a local company, and they responded to my call for help very quickly. I thought the price was reasonable, especially since the service person was climbing up ladders and snow covered roofs in winter. I would use Critter Control again. I would recommend this service to another homeowner.
Description of Work: Squirrels invaded my house thru my chimney and house wall. Critter Control came out right before the Xmas holidays and in heavy snow, check my eaves for possible entry route, determined how the squirrels were entering. They set traps and caught the offending creatures quickly. They did take two days to come back and remove the first live trap. The service person reset the live traps, and checked them regular. I was a little concerned about the animals in the live trap; I did not want to suffer as part of the live trap. However it was just two days and the delay was over Christmas Day, so I think it was a reasonable delay.

When I called them they were out the next day. While they were here I signed up for their service. They are kind of strange how they work their prices. If you buy their service it is applied to whatever service they do at the time they come. They will come out 3 or 4 times a year. What I pay is split over the times they come to service my home. They were right on time. They had been doing sewer work in my area and that was probably the reason I was having issues. The rat is gone. They were the only place I called that told me to call the city to take care of the rat problems. The rest of the people I called did not make that suggestion. They were very friendly and helpful. I have not seen any more mice since - or the rat! I think the city took care of that! They were also very professional.
Description of Work: They came and exterminated for mice and rats.

I was very surprised by how incredibly rude they were over the phone, being very short in explaining their services, putting me on hold, and quoting me two different prices over the phone for the same service. The first person quoted me $165 and they abruptly put me on hold. The second person got on and told me it was $190. Neither of them were receptive to any questions about what their service included.

It went very well. The technician was very efficient and it only took about 35 minutes to complete. I have not seen an ant since they sprayed and that is fantastic.

Could have charged me a lot for work not needed, but had the integrity to give honest advice instead.
Description of Work: Called to inquire about a suspected mole/vole problem in the lawn. They returned my call promptly, discussed the problem, determined that I probably did not have have mole or voles, but more likely grubs and worms. He recommended some practices that might reduce the problem and said that if I later wanted a field visit, he could do it for a reasonable fee.

The workers at Laughlin's took care of my house. I used to have ants and rodents and now I don't. They were great overall. I think that their prices were average, but they did good work. I would use them again. I have never really seen what they do so I'm not too sure about how good they really are.

I contacted them to get an idea of what they would do. They said there was a minimum $75 charge which would apply to any work they would do. I asked if they check the roof, chimney, and the rest of the house. I also asked if they did Chimney repair and would replace a missing screen. They said yes. He also said that if they would be late they would call. Overall they were very helpful and friendly on the phone. They didn't show up at 1, so I called and they said he would be there in 25 minutes. I said I wished they had called if they were going to be late. When Greg came to do the inspection he was friendly. He climbed on the roof and inspected the vents, guttters. I asked him if he check inside the house and attic and he said it wouldn't be necessary. At the end of the inspection, he said he really didn''t think it was necessary to bid on the job because he didn't think there was a bat problem. He believes the one bat I saw (I also told him about a year ago I heard scratching in the bathroom wall, but never heard anything after that) came in thru the chimney and was probably a fluke. He did caulk two small gaps where the flashing meets the house and didn't charge me other than the 75.00. He couldn't put a screen on the chimney because he didn't have that kind. But he gave me the name of a chimney sweep who is on Angies List as well and who I have booked an appointment with. He also said that if I have more problems to call, but he doubted I would especially if I got the chimney fixed. Overall I was generally pleased but the inspection was not what I expected. I thought they would look thru the whole house and attic. Perhaps they might explain on the phone that it might not be necessary and explain why.
Description of Work: Had a bat beneath the heat grate in the living room. I covered the grate with a tile. Wanted to get house checked out to see if there was a place in the house they were getting in.

They came out and analyzed where the squirrels were coming in and how best to take care of the problem. They came out a couple of days in a row to make sure they got all of the squirrels and then sealed up the whole. In total they had 9 squirrels, so I'm very glad that they managed to get all of them. The men who came out were good quality workers and I would definitely use them in the future if need be.

In the past, I used another exterminator and was satisfied with their work. However, they were not able to come out for about a week and I wanted someone to come out as soon as possible. I called Laughlin's Pest Control and they were able to work with me to find a time for someone to come out that day. The person who came to the house explained the process, which is pretty much spray the inside and outside of the house. I was disappointed, however, that the person could not answer any of my questions. I wanted to know: would I see alive spiders for one day or several days and would spraying the bird seed outside harm the birds. He really couldn't answer either one. Maybe I should have been more forceful in wanting answers, but when I used my previous exterminator, they seemed to be able to answer my questions. I give them an A because of price, responsiveness and punctuality. I think the quality of the job is probably an A, because I believe all of the spiders are dead now, but they weren't for a few days (which may be typical, but I don't know).
Description of Work: I had a large number of spiders in my home this fall. I wanted them exterminated as soon as possible.

We thought we had a yellow jacket nest somewhere around our house, because we were seeing so many wasps, and twice in the bathroom we heard buzzing. On inspection, though, he couldn't find anything. However, he said that if we found a nest later we could call him to come back, and he'd credit the cost of the inspection towards removing it. (We never found a nest. They turned out to be coming from a neighbor's yard). We discussed some preventive spraying but I decided against it. FYI, for people who are seeing a lot of wasps but don't know where they're coming from, just keep watching. If the nest is on your property, you'll see them coming and going.
