Jeremiah and Sustainable Pest Systems have excellentd customer service. Jeremiah was very responsive, punctual, courteous and friendly. He was patient in explaining the problem to us and gave us a very fair price for the solution. We appreciate that he does not over treat the problem by excessively spraying. We highly recommend Sustainable Pest Systems.
Description of Work: Sustainable Pest Systems inspected our house for free, gave us a very fair quote and then performed the service on the spot. We agreed to a quarterly treatment for smokybrown cockroaches. We also have been guaranteed that if we have a problem between treatments, they will come out without an extra charge.

The amount spent is an annual cost that includes the initial inspection, and quarterly followup for specific pest problems. We had a problem of mice entering from small openings on the outside into the walls/floorboards, as well as in our unfinished rooms during the winter. Jeremiah was very good at finding the openings around the exterior of the house and sealed them, which took care of the mice entering the walls. In addition, he put mouse bait stations in the unfinished rooms, and returned after 2 weeks to check them. What I liked about his service is that he seems to be able to discover the source of the problem, and address it without using toxic chemicals that could harm our dog. He is also super-friendly and has a wealth of pest knowledge. We recently had a quarterly followup visit from one of Jeremiah's employees, and he provided great service too - he checked all the bait stations, and because he noticed that we had a lot of spiders on the outside of the house, he cleaned off the spider webs, and treated the areas around our doors.

They did find some remaining bedbugs. They also used a dog to sniff out the bugs. He showed us one, so we knew they were still there. They are going to come back and do a heat treatment.

Jeremiah was very knowledgable and professional. He rearranged his schedule to accommodate our needs and was able to give us an estimate the same day. We received info from the office ahead of time to prep for the service. He arrived on time and was very informative. We have not had any problems with fleas since then. I would definitely recommend this company.

Jeremiah is a font of knowledge about all kinds of pests, including bats and bedbugs. He explained all the details of the work to be performed, the nature of the infestation, the nesting habits of bats, etc. He arrived promptly for both the free estimate and the actual work to be performed. He cleaned up the guano, treated the contaminated surfaces and screened the eaves to prevent future infestation. He worked diligently and cheerfully. I am fully satisfied with his work.
Description of Work: Jeremiah provided a free estimate for removal of guano (bat excrement) and disinfection of contaminated surfaces from the attic of the addition to our newly purchased house, including screening off the eaves to prevent future infestation by bats. He returned to complete the work on time, as specified. He is very cheerful and knowledgeable and his office staff is courteous and efficient. He honored the Angie's list discount coupon, too!

Jeremiah was great! He came out for the initial visit within a day or two of calling him and he was on time, professional, friendly and helpful. He gave us a bunch of good tips on things we could do ourselves and when he came to perform the work we agreed upon he was thorough and did a great job. We will definitely use this company again.

They were good, there was only one thing I thought was insufficient. They wouldn't get up on a ladder and spray up where spiders hang on windows because of the danger, they didn't want to get spray blown back in their face which is reasonable. However, it would have been nice if they had sprayed the spiders in the windows, too, but no big deal. They were nice people, they did a good job and they were thorough inside and outside. I thought it would be more expensive. They called quite quick and came when they said they would. They were extremely professional and I have a contract so I'll be using them all year.

I will absolutely use SPS again for any future bug problems! It is refreshing to know there are companies out there who live up to their reputation. Sustainable Pest Systems has made my house roach free, with non-toxic, effective treatments! I highly recommend this company for any bug problems. You won't be disappointed!
Description of Work: I called Sustainable Pest Systems when we discovered a roach problem, mostly in my kitchen. I am new to the south and have no tolerance for these bugs! With pets and a baby, it was important for me to use someone who doesn't use harsh chemicals, but can treat effectively. I was quickly set up with an appointment for someone to come out, give me a free estimate, and treat my roach problem. When Jeremiah arrived (on time), he asked questions to determine the problem and answered all of my many questions about bugs. I was impressed with his thorough knowledge and in depth explanation of the problem and solutions to my situation. He carefully looked around my kitchen, attic, and crawl space before determining where the problem was originating and treating those specific areas. I was very impressed with Jeremiah’s professionalism and quick, effective treatments.

Jeremiah came over to my somewhat roach and ant infested house after kindly offering me advice for over 2 weeks on how to manage my pest problem on my own. After many hours spent chasing critters with towels and lamenting over their inevitable return, I ran into Jeremiah again at my work (local coffee shop). I told him the situation and how it wasn't getting better...at all. As a novice when it comes to pest-related problems, I was in need of serious help. Jeremiah gave me his card and told me he would be able to come over soon, and soon meant the same day that I called him! He met me at my house right on schedule and ready to go. He did a thorough survey of all rooms and asked questions related to pest whereabouts to help determine the extent of the infestation and appropriate action. After he looked over the kitchen (behind the fridge, under the stove and all the other places that I just didn't get to), he went into my swelteringly hot attic and looked in all the corners. It was 95 degrees outside...must have been over 105 in the attic. He came back and told me the deal: I had cockroaches. Jeremiah sat down with me and explained what kind of bugs I had, then went over his strategy for dealing with them. He was very informative, answered all my questions and assured me that my cockroach problem would soon be over. After laying out several traps (all of which were eco-friendly and always the least-toxic alternative, a huge concern for me since I have 3 dogs), he told me that it would take a few days for everything to kick in. He then went over time-lines for the traps and treatments he performed (it would last the rest of the summer - awesome!) before offering to do a walk around the outside of my house. He inspected our crawlspace and the whole perimeter, making notes about what he found. After his survey, we decided that a low-impact spray (another environmentally friendly product) would really help with keeping new pests out. After our chat, he sprayed around the house, we talked again briefly, I thanked him for his quick work and he left. I kid you not, I haven't seen a cockroach since. And the slight ant problem in the kitchen? Nope. No more. Living in NC for the last few years, I've grown accustomed to these seasonal bursts of bugs; but after they started invading my kitchen on a large scale, I knew it was time to get our problem checked out. Jeremiah was the friendliest, most informative and thorough service person that has ever done any work at my house. He's awesome. He also supports and uses environmentally conscious products AND they work. Double Awesome. Call him. Today. He will make you happy to cook in your kitchen again.
Description of Work: - Examined each room of my house (including the crawl space below it and the attic) to determine the extent of my infestation. - Provided a concise, but informative survey of what he found and his plan for my bug problem. - Used least-toxic chemicals in a strategic way to maximize the effects of his plan and minimize the use of chemicals. - Listened to my concerns over using chemicals in a house full of dogs and planned accordingly. He used only low-impact, environmentally-friendly products out of my dogs reach. - Evaluated the perimeter of my house and applied a low-impact spray to deter new bugs from entering the house. Jeremiah was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. He was in and out in under an hour and since his visit, I've been roach free, What's better than an exterminator who only exterminates the actual problem in an intelligent way? nothing. Sustainable Pest Systems rocks. Hands down, the best pest control company in the triangle!

It was a smooth and easy experience. We discussed the situation over the phone. Jeremiah came by when he said he would, was extremely professional and easy to talk to. He got right to work. His first treatment was done just before the mosquitoes begin to take over. They never showed up. He's now been back to do a second canvasing and they are still non existent. We have maybe seen 4 or 5 all summer! In previous years we would be mobbed as soon as we walked outside. The flea experience was the same. Very punctual and professional. That was two step process and completely cured the problem. We felt completely comfortable with him working in our home and doing what was necessary to rid us of the infestation. We had heard that fleas were very difficult to remove but his treatment worked wonderfully.
Description of Work: I have been completely satisfied with Sustainable Pest Systems!! I've always been worried about chemical treatments of any sort and was very excited that his service is eco friendly. Our house is in a low, moist area and we've always had a terrible problem with mosquitos. Sustainable Pest Systems provided us with their mosquito treatment and it has made this summer so much more pleasurable! Going outside is no longer a miserable experience. We also had a sudden flea infestation and his treatments completely knocked it out. Within one day there was a huge improvement and after several days they were completely gone! Again, they used eco friendly products so we didn't have to worry about any negative side-effects to us or our cat. Jeremiah is extremely friendly, he cares very much about his work and is very happy to discuss it with the customer. I can't say enough about his knowledgeable and articulate approach and am more than happy to recommended Sustainable Pest Systems.

I found working with SPS to be a great experience for someone who is looking to effectively address a pest problem but in a safe and non-toxic manner. They were really professional, quick and responsive in getting out to perform the estimate and the services. SPS is a small company where the owner really cares about his customers and he does a lot of work throughout the Triangle area. I was referred to him through a friend who was extremely happy with his service (and also has the same concerns with her baby and dog) and I would highly recommend him to others. They are trustworthy to take the smartest approach possible (which may take a little longer on their end) but is safer and more effective than just blindly spraying down your house with chemicals. I also found the price to be fair. It is a year contract and he will come back quarterly and reevaluate, set baits or other necessary measurements for maintenance. But if we have any problems in the meantime, they'll come back (free of charge, as it's included in the yearly contract) and take care of it. This is the most sophisticated pest management company I've come across as far as being extremely knowledgeable on any pest related issue and the smart/savvy approach they take for more discerning customers. They also have a very tech savvy customer service, as I believe in the near future your account will be available to you online so you can track past services and make payments. Just makes the whole experience easier and more transparent as you can always go back and look at exactly what tactics and/or chemicals were used if you can't remember.
Description of Work: We were having some occasional pest issues (roaches, bees, mice) and SPS came out and did a thorough (and free) evaluation. They took their time to evaluate our entire house, both inside and outside, taking a more strategic, preventative approach (referred to as Integrated Pest Management) to solving our problem. We were very interested in having a safer, smarter approach to pest management in our household as we have a baby and dog and are more sensitive to the harmful effects of overusing sprays and toxic chemicals. They were extremely knowledgeable on the species of pests we have (and therefore the most effective way to treat them). They emailed a detailed description of their findings as far as where and what type of pests they found and their recommended approach to solving the problem. When they returned to do the service, they used baits in areas that aren't exposed to people/pets and some low impact chemicals (which are safer for people/pets and better for the environment). They only used the chemicals sparingly and in strategic places that we would be less exposed to. They'll return in about a week to check the baits and make any changes, if necessary.

I am really pleased with the services that Jeremiah Smith at Sustainable Pest Systems (SPS) has been providing for us. He was recommended by a neighbor...when I contacted him through email, he responded promptly. He was on time for our consultation, which I felt was very thorough, and he gave us a detailed description and 'plan of attack' for our rodent problem. We don't have a full-blown infestation, thank goodness, but one rat or mouse is one too many! Jeremiah returned to set up rat traps and secure areas around the house where rodents were able to get into our crawlspace. He returned each day for four days to check and clean the traps. I didn't ask him what types of traps he used because the visual would have bothered me. He did offer to let me see a photograph of our 'king rat' though...which I declined. :) Also on this visit Jeremiah mentioned the many mosquitoes he saw that were no doubt attacking him...they attack us every time we set foot outside. He offered to spray the area and my husband was quick to agree. We've only had one treatment and the difference is amazing. We actually had a BBQ last weekend...no bites! We have decided to continue with SPS since we also have mice and disgusting house crickets living in our crawlspace. Just in case, Jeremiah is going to check our attic spaces as well. Jeremiah is personable, professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Although SPS charges more than some other pest services I contacted, in this case I feel we definitely got what we paid for. Other services charge nearly the same to simply poison and leave the rodents, or pressure you into a monthly service agreement. I feel like we were given options and more importantly, that our rodents will be gone...permanently. Life would be so much easier if every service provider was this focused on customer service!
Description of Work: Free consultation to check for rats and other pests under and around house. Proposal sent including estimate. Rat trapped and removed, including daily checks. Secured all areas around house where rodents can access crawlspace to prevent reoccurrence. Planned for future mouse and cricket removal. Treated yard to lessen number of mosquitoes.

They came in and did the initial evaluation of the building (three levels) and gave us a very fair price on regular pest management services. They come at scheduled intervals and monitor any pest activity. Recently, as the weather gets warmer, we have had a slight increase in drain/ fruit flies. They pinpointed the problem areas that were serving as breeding areas for the flies, advised us on how to fix the issues and treated the areas. They even followed up several times without even being called. The flies are pretty upset now and finding a home somewhere else!
Description of Work: Sustainable Pest Systems (SPS) provides regular pest control services to our business (bar/ restuarnat) and home. They are extremely reliable, use green products, are innovative in solving problems. They work diligently to get to the bottom of pest issues rather than just repeating an ineffective treatment over and over. They seem committed to solving our pest problems and are intelligent, punctual, and best of all, use green-based products! From flies to fleas, mice to mosquitoes, they can do it all! They are bedbug experts too but, thankfully, we haven't had the need for that. Can't say enough good things!

It was an educational experience and took very little time. Jeremiah came in, introduced himself and described the process and toured all the rooms of the house. He then brought in his dog Scout (looked like Eddie on the old sitcom "Frazier"). He took Scout, on leash, to each room where he quickly sniffed around and jumped with excitement whenever he smelled either a live bedbug or live bedbug eggs (he is trained to ignore dead ones). Jeremiah marked where the dog had keyed on bedbugs with a piece of masking tape. After the inspection, he took the dog to the van and returned to answer any questions for me. At my request, he gave me some very well-reasoned and independent advice about treatment options, then left, all within an hour of arrival. I found him knowledgeable, personable and professional.
Description of Work: Owner Jeremiah Smith had his dog Scout sniff my entire house after a weekend guest from NYC left behind a few bedbugs.

The owner Jeremiah Smith, was both punctual and professional. He and his dog Scout performed an inspection of our home and included a demonstration with live bedbugs (in a screened vial so they couldn't escape) so that we could see how the process worked and be assured that the dog was able to find bedbugs. I would definitely use LogosK9 again and will recommend this company to anyone and everyone that has bedbug concerns (scares!).
Description of Work: Canine inspection of our home. The owner, Jeremiah Smith, and his dog Scout perfomed a comprehensive inspection of our home and also identified a bug that I had saved in a Ziploc bag. In addition to the service Jeremiah recommended a reliable local exterminator that offers both chemical and heat treatments. He explained everything we needed to know about bedbugs and how to prevent future infestations.
