I would give them a D in responsiveness and a D in honesty due to their company's name saying "sustainable" when they do not use sustainable products, at least in this instance. They were the cheapest in price so I gave them an A there. They are very cheerful. I called the company and made an appointment. I was not told anything by the person answering the phone about prices or products. She only gave me an appointment. I arranged with her to get the Angie's List discount. I have no idea about the cost but I had called other companies to give me an idea of the cost. I thought by their name that they used "sustainable" products or environmentally friendly products. But they do not use environmentally safe products to get rid of the yellow jackets. Yellow jackets are good for the environment but bad when they invade your craw space or enter near regular outside areas. They did answer all the questions that I had, but discouraged me regarding a safe way to get rid of the jackets. That would entail repeated visits. The guy came out and was ready to kill my yellow jacket's nest entry with a pesticide. They do not remove the nest. The thing is the guy had no intention of using a sustainable product and explained to me all the reasons why they use pesticides. He was very nice and eager to answer all my questions. I did have to get up at 7am to be ready at 8am and hated that. The technician showed up around 9am. I had been promised a Angie's List discount but I was charged the regular price. You have to follow up on everything. I did not get a receipt and called the office later about the discount and receipt problem. I was told that I could exchange checks and they would send my check back and I could send them a check with the corrected amount and they would email me the receipt. Later, the owner called and told me that the service technician would come back and pick up my check and I could give them the correct amount. But he did not give me a receipt when he came out. He told me that they were "sustainable" and emailed receipts. Yet, he drove out with his van to pick up a check and give me back the first check. That was a waste of gas and he could have waited to get my check. Instead, he drove to my house and picked up my check. Days later I had to call the office another time to get the receipt. I believe that they will wait until the check clears before they give a receipt. We should get a receipt at the time of service payment. I had to call at least 3 times to get my receipt and 2 times to get my discount so I gave them a D in responsiveness.
Description of Work: They came to get rid of a yellow jacket's nest in my crawl space. I was hoping for sustainable products as I was working on using environmental friendly products for over a week on this nest's entry points (I had caused at least one nest to move from a path that was causing harm and another entry point that caused jackets to hurt contractors) and had made a dent here but since I am disabled and didn't have a bee suit, so I thought I would call a professional for this job.

Response from Sustainable Pest Systems (SPS)
Hey Ms. [removed member name]! I apologize for the difficulty in getting the discount and you're having to follow up with us. That is certainly not the norm but the mistake was made and we apologize. In regards to the treatment method to solve the yellow jacket issue, since many people have severe allergic reactions to wasp stings (and being that at the end of the season wasp nests are quite large) we recommend that we use a product which gets immediate results. While there are other options (which we offered), they tend to be more expensive and less effective which allows more time for pets or people to be at risk while the products are working. The material we used to solve the problem, while not an organic product, is still low impact to the environment (especially being that an incredibly small amount is used and it is applied directly where the wasps are entering). Our aim is to first and foremost protect the public and use the product that solves the problem while minimizing risk to pets, people and the environment. This is what we did on this service and I don't feel there is any dishonesty in that. In regards to removing the nest, very often when the nest is made in a void it is not possible to remove without it being a large project (sometimes large areas of insulation have to be taken down, cutting holes in drywall, etc). Void nests of yellow jackets are very seldom removed due to this cost as well as the fact that they don't normally cause secondary infestations if left where they are. I am sorry that you had less than an ultimately positive experience with us and we will strive to improve. We appreciate the time you took to write the review. Pest Regards, Jeremiah Smith

I had tried to solve this problem with another pest control company, with no success ? they came five times, sprayed the car, and the bugs always came back. Other companies I talked with wouldn't even help, since they were unsure how to deal with bugs in a car. Sustainable listened to me, advised some things I could do on my own first to solve them problem, then, if that didn't work, had a solution to try. When they came out, they provided one treatment that completely solved the problem. It was fast, odorless, and totally effective. These guys were professional and effective. I couldn't have been happier with their work.

They were great and they were awesome. They were extremely friendly and they have extremely high quality service. If I recalled correctly, a lot of it was like somewhat more environmentally friendly so I could have my pet running around the yard still without having to worry about whatever chemical they are using. They were super cool. The individual service providers as well were very knowledgeable, very friendly and very professional. So all in all, it was a great experience.
Description of Work: Sustainable Pest Systems came out initially when I had this bug problem and it turned out that it wasn’t really a problem. They figured out how to get rid of those bugs. They came out every quarter and did a treatment around my house to get rid of pests.

Great! Coordinated and communicated very well. Made other observations beyond just whether there were termites or not. Gave suggestions for reducing future risk of termites. Also did a once over look for other pests. Found a colony of bats in the attic. Provided great quote for removing and treating the area. Wound up being less than what current owners paid to achieve the same result. Too bad, as I would have jumped at the chance to send the work to Sustainable Pest Systems.

I've been using Sustainable pest systems for over a year. They originally came out for an ant problem which they were able to handle. Since then I've used them quarterly. They are always on time, ring the bell when the arrive, ask if there are any particular areas to pay close attention to, complete their work and ring the bell and run you through what they've done before they leave.

It went fantastic. The worker was great, we didn't have any issues at all.
Description of Work: I used Sustainable Pest Systems Inc. (SPS, Inc) We suspected that we had bats in our attic from the air vents on the outside of our garage. He came to see if they were bats, he didn't see any when he came out. Said he would need to come back to evacuate them if they were there. When he came back there weren't any actually in the attic so he just meshed up the air vents so if they do come back they can't get in.

They were able to squeeze me in the same day that I called. The guy was very informed and thoroughly answered all of questions during the initial visit. However, they failed to show up at follow up appointment time and failed to call to notify me that they would be significantly late or inquire when they arrived late and I was no longer home. I'm scheduling another follow up since the mice problem is only partially completed.
Description of Work: I called about a mouse problem. They inspected the house for both signs of mice, the entry points into the house and baited for the mice. We have a follow up appointment scheduled for them to seal the entry points which they fails to arrive during set time frame

We recently bought a new house (which had been sitting without care for several months). There were a lot of dead bugs and mice droppings. I called Sustainable Pest Systems for an estimate. Jeremiah promptly came to the house and performed an inspection. He listened to my concerns and offered ways to defend our house from these pests. We purchased the 1 year service (it included indoor and outdoor quarterly treatments, as well as, bait stations for mice and insects in the crawlspace) and screening of 5 gable vents to keep out bats/squirrels. Rudy and another worker came out to treat the outside/inside, screen the gable vents, seal any holes where pests could enter the house, and bait the crawlspace. They were extremely nice and explained to me what they were doing. They actually had to come out twice to finish screening the gable vents and inspect the bait stations. I asked for some more inside treatments and Rudy took care of it with no hesitation. I would recommend Sustainable Pest Systems. They were very professional, knowledgeable, timely, and friendly.

Sustainable Pest Systems is a great company with excellent technicians and staff. They have helped us make sure our house is in good shape by managing pests such as roaches, mosquitoes, mice, carpenter bees, yellow jackets. Nathan is our regular technician and he is a very nice, knowledgeable professional. They schedule the quarterly treatments in advance and contact us a few days before the next treatment to coordinate scheduling. When we have had the mosquito add-on service treatment followed by a big rain, they have come back out to re-treat without complaint. We appreciate their service and highly recommend this company.

The project was much more involved than either we or Sustainable Pest realized when they provided an estimate of $400. They had to come repeatedly until all squirrels were trapped in humane traps and then driven some distance from our house and released. This involved several unanticipated steps, including accessing a space three stories up and hidden behind a chimney. It was obvious that $400 was not adequate to cover all the labor costs. Sustainable Pest did not ask for payment above the original estimate. However, their service was so good and required so much effort that we said we felt we should pay above the estimate and we suggested an amount which they accepted. They were so thorough and conscientious that we also hired Sustainable Pest for additional pest removal and prevention services. We could not recommend them more highly.
Description of Work: Basic service was removing what turned out to be three different squirrels from two separate attics and installing "hardware cloth" to keep squirrels out in the future.

We met Jeremiah and Rudy. Jeremiah came out to do the inspection. He was very knowledgeable. Dealing with termites is an overwhelming experience; however, we felt reassured that our problem would be taken care of. Rudy came out just a few days after the inspection and set up a bait system to gradually kill off the colony. He was very thorough. Using this method is less expensive and less toxic, which is important to us. This is why we chose Sustainable Pest as they deal with "green" methods, and the reviews for the company were outstanding. We can see why. We will definitely be using this company for the duration of our stay in North Carolina.

For the Mice issue we discussed all the options and thought that the Bait Stations is the safest and best option looking at our situation. Initially some 5-6 stations were installed and the provider checked back next week to track the activity...based on the activity few more stations were installed until the objective achieved. It took more than a month to resolve the issue but the provider had the confidence with the approach and he was right at the end. Their level of service and dedication made me to retain their services for year as i feel they provide you more than what you pay for.
Description of Work: Initially engaged the provider for help with the Mice issues we had seen. But from the approach of these guys and efforts taken we decided to go with them for annual contract for pest control. The use the methods that are safe considering the kids and do follow up until an issue is resolved. I have very high words about the provider especially Mr Mills. with whom i interacted most of the time.
