Awful. After 9 weeks the ants are worse than ever- they canceled/reschedule appointments and don’t give any time frame. They charged us and then didn’t complete the service and didn’t show up to appointment.

The first visit went well and they sprayed very well. Our property backs up to the woods so this was very important to me. Subsequent visits, when I was not at home, were not as thorough as I saw from security footage. That fall we ended up selling our house anyway so we called the office to cancel our service. Months later in the spring, I notice they have begun to charge my account again, despite us not even living in that home. After repeated phone calls, Black Pest refuses to refund what I was charged after cancellation. I have never met a company that flat out refuses to to be reasonable. Their service is merely average and their customer service obviously is lacking. For these reasons I would not recommend their service to anyone.

Did not listen to us when we said that previously we were seeing some kind of grub in the tub, when the last tech we used put something in the drain to stop this, we did not see many more issues, but when the last couple of techs came by they had no idea of what we were talking about. Just no attention to detail, and Customer service is not very friendly, hard to deal with billing department. Will not be using there service again, and will not recommend. These days companies want your money but don't want to do the work.

Response from Black Pest Prevention Inc
Ms. [Member Name Removed], We are sorry to hear these complaints, but we also see no record on your account of when you reported these issues. We would have addressed them immediately if we were notified. You had a discussion with the billing department because you did not render payment for the last service performed at your home. We require payment for all services performed.

I just moved in to a house that had been vacant for some months and discovered a cockroach problem. I called Black Pest Prevention and they were out there the same day. I was lucky enough to get the district manager, Jay, as my service tech. Jay was friendly, intelligent, and professional. He spent time knocking down cobwebs around the house and garage, and treated the entire house and garage. He spent additional time focusing on the infestation in the kitchen. His attitude was that he was determined to solve the problem. He explained what he was doing, answered all my questions, and gave great advice. It is a pleasure to find such wonderful service these days. I'm glad I choose them for pest control. It has only been a few days since treatment, but the problem has improved. He said it would likely take a second treatment (included) to ensure success.

We use Black Pest Control because they did the termite treatment when the house we're living in was built. When we bought it from the prior owner, they recommended them. I give them a quarterly payment and they draft it out of my bank account. It normally takes maybe 15 minutes to 20 minutes to complete the service, I guess.
Description of Work: They come out every quarter I believe it is, and do treatment for termites, and then if you want them to, they'll come in your house and spray for ants or anything like that.

They come so many months. They leave a note on the door when they come. They spray around the house for spiders and things. So far, so good. I have been with them since I bought my house, ten years ago. I have no problems with them. Every time I have an issue, they come right away and fix it. They have been very quick. They don't bother me much when they come. They let me know they are coming and they go around the house and everything. I am very loyal when I get a company that doesn't bother me or do anything wrong, I stay with them. I usually keep the same company for a very long time. If the company is doing good for you there is no reason to switch them for a company you don't know how will do for you.

I contacted the office via email for a quote for pest control. The office responded quickly with detail and options. I then followed up by phone with additional questions. They were answered quickly and courteously (no pressure). I signed up for a year service. The pro showed up on the agreed upon time. He was very nice and informative about the services he was going to perform. It has been over a month since we started the service. So far so good.
Description of Work: Quoted and provided first service of a yearly pest prevention contract.

I've been with this company for more than five years and I've never had problems with actual service. All the technicians show up on time and all of them were very professional and courteous. My problem is with someone in billing/customer service. I don't remember what that was about not but a few years ago, that person was so rude on the phone, I called to stop the service. Her supervisor told me that she would talk to her and gave ma a month credit or something so I stayed. I called them today because I wanted to find out why they sent me a bill when they have my credit card number in the file and has been charging me every months. It could be a simple error and as long as my account is clear, I wasn't going to worry about it. But this lady who answered the phone was so rude for no reason! She cut me off to ask my address in the middle off my sentence and ordered me to disregard the bill. I remembered her name because she was the same one from a few years back! Again, I don't have any problem with the service. But I don't want to deal with their rude customer service again. I'll be looking for another service provider.

We have an annual contract with Black Pest Prevention for the termite control, mosquito control, ant control and any kind of bug control because we pay a monthly fee and they come out once in a while to clean up the cobwebs too. They call us before we come out and we never have to be home. We use them because they are the ones that came with the house and they had been treating everything and we didn't have to upgrade. The price only varies with other by a couple of dollars, so it's only worth a cup of coffee, but because of that I will give them a "B" for price.
