I use them 2-3 times a year. They were a client of my ex-husband's and they do a good job so I keep using them.
Description of Work: They were here about 3 weeks ago. They sprayed my house and treated the boarder of my house outside.

My mother passed away rather unexpectedly and her adopted (feral) cat could not be found for days. We knew that the cat was in the house because food left out for her kept disappearing and a flea infestation followed. We called Gunter to eliminate the pests and they were courteous, prompt, and efficient. Several weeks later, when we wanted to show the house to the realtor, we called them back to spray again because we wanted to be certain there would be no problems. Again, they responded very quickly.
Description of Work: Sprayed for flea infestation. They were on time and returned when we asked them to do so. I am not certain of the cost since my brother, who lives out of town, paid the bill. I know that it was reasonable or he would have not contracted with him.

I got an annual renewal contract. They inspect annually and take care of any problems. Everything went fine and I had them back the following year. They send a postcard to advise me that I need to schedule. I haven't had any problems, but the house had termites in the past so I want it inspected every year. Since they have been coming, I haven't had any problems. They are fair and come when they say they are coming and do what they say they will do.

I had some tree work done and the pruner said he had seen a nest of carpenter ants in the tree. I had seen several of them near my garage. I felt I needed an inspection for those ants and termites. They came and did the inspection. The inspection showed we did not have any ants or termites in or around the house.

Good. On the second visit (spray around the outside), I had them come inside and hit it hard since I had seen a couple of bugs in the basement and garage. They hammered them hard and I don't see any signs of returning insects.

They messed up the scheduling and didn't arrive during the time frame I was told, requiring me to call, but the inspector then arrived in 20 minutes and was apologetic. The inspector was professional, polite, knowledgeable, and helpful.

The man on initial visit went above and beyond the call of duty, going back into a difficult crawl space to look for evidence of termites. The actual installation was delayed by rain, but in the end a thorough job was done. The price was much lower than a competitor's.

Everything went very well with this company. I hired them last spring to do an inspection and they said I had extreme termite damage, but they said that the termites were inactive. However, I had seen some termites about two months ago, so I called them to come and inspect again and they concluded that there was some termite activity and I needed to do a termite treatment.

He came at the appointed time, checked the property thoroughly, and told us that we had no termites currently. He also suggested that we move the mulch away from the foundation to avoid a future infestation.
Description of Work: We saw an indication of either a current or past termite infestation. A Gunter serviceman inspected the property and told us that we had no termites.
