"I would say when the quote was done the guy was very impatient BUT seemed very knowledgeable… Until he calls back that afternoon with the contracts and at this point he has no clue what anything means doesn’t know what the extra charge is he decided to add on for the 3 properties and tried to pass it off for us to just call his office number so we can make payment to avoid having to talk about it especially when $600+ is involved I’d like for you to answer a few questions.. not unreasonable.. So finally after we get our answers, we call the office to make a payment the girl originally seemed nice took our payment And then a week later we get a call and they say we never paid anything… So we check our bank account and it looks like she mischarged us only paid $200 when it should’ve been way more but would not own her mistake and told us that we should’ve told her there were three properties but what’s weird is all three properties are on the same contract and if you had a computer system you would’ve seen this and you said you had the contract in front of you so you would need to add the totals DUHHHHHH… but it’s OK you know a good customer support representative would’ve owned their mistake, apologized, and corrected the issue… you should not keep pointing the finger at the customer as it is never their problem for system flaws!!! I would not recommend these people if you guys want good service these people just want your money they don’t give a crap about you nor do they have good workmanship they charge you up the butt for nothing and do not warrantee any of it either"

"We really needed some professional help with our yard so we contacted Tailor Made Lawns. The lady who answered the phone was very pleasant, took my name and phone number and said a technician would contact us with two business days. A week later and still no contact from Tailor Made Lawns. I was inclined to "write them off" but we had used them in the past so my wife insisted I try again. Again, the lady who answered the phone was very pleasant. She presented that she was distressed that no one from Tailor Made had contacted us. She was "going to speak with the office manager as soon as we hung up" and assured me we would be contacted. That was weeks ago and still no contact. Apparently Tailor Made Lawns in Conover is so busy they are not taking on new business. That is fine - just advise the potential customer that they are unable to provide any service rather than waste their time and ours with needless phone calls."

"We had these clowns come out to deal with a mole issue we had. My wife initially met with them. I showed up when they were working out a time to treat our yard. The first guy kept telling us that we didn’t need to be present for the job but over the years we’ve learned that without being around the job rarely gets done properly. So how did he get around this, by sending a guy out to treat our yard in the dark. The second guy showed up at 610pm and at my door by 615pm. I covered what he was supposed to do, which he had a look as that wasn’t what his boss told him to do. He said he was putting down poison granules to kill grubs. I looked out my window and he was walking around my yard with a hand spreader. 15-20 mins later he was back at my door telling me he was done. I knew he didn’t do anything. With a push spreader I can’t do my front yard in 15 mins. He was supposed to do my front and back yard. After he left, I looked and nothing was on the ground anywhere. So I canceled the check. No work, no pay. I contacted them and told them I canceled the payment and why. No where in the conversation did they ask how to fix the situation or they will be out to see what wasn’t done. All they wanted was their money. They called my wife wanting their payment and sent a threatening letter about their payment. Nothing about fixing the situation. 2 days ago, they sent the guy back out for the second non-treatment with the same guy. I was looking down at the guys hand spreader and all he had in it was air. He spread air in my yard. Don’t use these idiots. All they want is your money. If you do use they insure they aren’t spraying water and spreading air. $525 down the drain and yes my wife caved and paid them. First 2 pics are front yard and second 2 are backyard. No granules."

Different pest control methods exist to help mitigate an infestation. Not every technique will work with every pest, which is why speaking with a pest control expert is crucial to taming your problem. Different methods of pest removal include:
Heat treatments
Freezing treatments
Traps
Barriers
Chemical pesticides
Fumigation
Rodenticides
Mechanical devices
Repellants
The cost of pest control is $175 for the average homeowner. However, you could spend as little as $100 or as much as $500 or more, depending on the infestation size, the number of visits you need, and the pest you’re exterminating.
For example, if you need to rid your home of spiders, you’ll likely be spending between $100 and $300. However, if you have a termite problem, you can expect a bill of $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the infestation size and damage caused.
There are specific methods for pest removal that you can DIY without hiring an expert. If you are preventing pests from making an appearance or clearing out a small infestation of harmless insects, you will likely have success on your own. However, if you’re dealing with pests that eat wood, bedbugs, or other pests that carry a disease risk, like rodents, it’s always worth it to call a pest professional to help you.
Even if you’re not immediately showing signs of pests, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of routine pest control. This should be done yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your location and if any signs of infestation are already present. For example, if you live by water, you might experience more pests in the spring and summer than someone who lives in a dry climate. Discuss treatment options with your pest professional to determine a suitable schedule for you and your home.
While not every infestation is preventable, there are some actions you can take to minimize the risk of running into these pests in your home. These actions include:
Keeping your home tidy. This includes vacuuming regularly, sanitizing your kitchen, storing food in airtight containers, disposing garbage regularly, and keeping your home clutter-free.
Deep clean at least twice a year. Deep cleaning neglected crevices and corners of your home can help prevent breeding grounds from forming.
Repairing your home when needed. If your home has cracks or holes, you have an open invitation for pests to come in. Remove any standing water and seal any gaps in your floors, walls, and foundation.
Cleaning up your yard. Keep shrubbery and branches well-trimmed and away from your home. Remove fallen leaves and other debris.
Be smart with storage. If you use firewood, store it away from the home (at least 20 feet away if possible) and off of the ground.
