Complete waste of money.
Description of Work: Hired them to remove groundhogs for about $600. Three weeks later they're back, burrowing under my garage. Too late - they guarantee results for a full 7 days.

Mr. [Member Name Removed], I am very sorry that you are not happy with our services. I have investigated this situation, as I do with any situation where a customer is upset or dissatisfied. We do not take bad reviews lightly as we have built our business by offering the highest level of customer service in the industry. I know from our notes that we did catch and relocate the problem groundhog. I will be reaching out to you personally to further discuss this situation. Thank you, Randy Vogel Operations Manager Cowley's Termite & Pest Control

As previously noted.
Description of Work: Crowley's first did the wasp removal from the chimney. We then hired them to "lock out" pests with guards, etc. Always on time, professional, punctual, ready to work. Their response time on the phone was exceptional.

I was very impressed with the overall work these men did. The termites are gone now and that should say something about the quality of their work. I was very happy with the price and will call them out to the house again if need be.
Description of Work: They came out and gave us a termite inspection, determining that we did in fact have termites. They then dug trenches all around the foundation of our 1700 square foot home, planting various chemical agents to rid us of this pest. The men that came were here about a full working day and they cleaned up after themselves before they left.
