We love Cowleys. We are on a annual program with them for our house here. They are great, so we got the yearly subscription with them and they are fantastic. We don't have a pest problem, but it is because we are with them. We also have a rental property on the back of our property on our carriage house. It is covered as well. We just have them come through every month and they do a maintenance program for us. If we see anything, they come right out away too. It's great. It's $500 a year and they come out 12 times. They come out every month and then if we see something. If we see a mouse or a bug or whatever they come out as many times as they need to in addition to that. They are awesome. We love their service.
Description of Work: They come every month and do an inspection. They maintenance. They do spraying on the outside of the house, just to make sure we don't have a pest problem.

They do a very good job. They come out 3 times a year. It's excellent work. They are very thorough and they are very responsive. Even if you are in between regular visits, if you have a problem or you suspect a problem, they will come out the next day and check it out for you. They are very good. I am under contract with them.
Description of Work: It's pest control, mostly rodent control for the property. They put traps and things around the house. We don't have a spray for insects. We are mostly concerned with rodent control. They inspect inside and out for any signs.

We get a little text message and a phone call to remind us that they are coming out the following day. We don't need to be here because they do like a perimeter of each of the homes. They just check for outside signs of stuff. As long as the perimeter is done and there is nothing on the inside it just keeps the bugs and rodents from coming in. So it is great. They're terrific. We have been with them for, I think, 4 years. They're fantastic. They also do mosquito spraying in the summer. They have a newsletter sent out to our email to let us know if there is an infestation of anything, or what to watch for with pollen. They are just a fantastic company. We think they're great.

They were right on time. They answered every question we had and explained in detail what they were going to do. They're very professional and the sales person rep and the person who came out for the treatment were very friendly and answered all of our questions.
Description of Work: We initially contacted them because we had a mouse problem in our attic and they took care of that and we decided to go with for the annual service plan so that they also then treated preventative treatment on the outside for other pest.

We had two different Cowleys employees work here. Dennis and James were both very professional and great to work with. Their communication with each other and with our office was outstanding. Their work was thorough and their follow up was very much appreciated. The office staff ( Nancy ) was equally a pleasure to work with and communicate with. I highly recommend this company. Thank you very much!

Everything went very well. No problems and I am very satisfied with the results. No more Ants and I did have some critters and that was all taken care of also. No more ants or critters. I was very happy to deal with Crowley's Pest Control. They were very thorough and did a great job.
Description of Work: I have a annual contract with Crowley's Pest Control and they come by 3 times a year for (if needed spraying for ants indoors) and for the outdoor spraying. All the service men are very professional and do a great job. The Office Staff is wonderful to work with also. I have never had a problem with Cowley's Pest Control. They are always are on-time and pay attention to what needs to be done. They answer all my questions and I am very happy with the service provided by Cowley's Pest Control. I would definitely recommend them. They do a great job and I'm sure you will be very satisfied if you contract with them.

They were okay. When they came out initially the guy handled the ants. I called them back 30 days later and when the guy came out the second time, he didn't really do much. He just pretty much said that I would have to get a contract with them before they could do anything else. The first time was okay. The price was okay but it was actually half the price of a yearly contract. I was just trying to figure out what was going on at my property so I didn't mind the price so much. The problem that I had was that they weren't willing to really deal with the ants unless I took on a contract. They were early in coming out. There were no additional charges. That was the total cost of the visit. It also included calling them back before the 30 days if I still had an ant problem. When I called them back before the 30 days, the gentleman said there is really nothing else that they can do unless I take on their contract for the year. They should stick by what we agreed to and if I call them back the second time, they need to get rid of the ants at that moment. There was a decrease in the ant activity, but they never really got rid of the ants.
Description of Work: It was a big deal purchase.

They could have done two things better. One is treat the more urgent termite problem better. They didn't treat the source that well. They just pumped some termite killing stuff into the wall but they didn't show any curiosity to look into the basement and to see where the actual tunnels were. What they should have done was treat the source better. They just treated the areas in the house. They didn't treat the problem so they completely failed in that aspect. We sold us a bogus preventative thing. It's another $700. You put the spikes in the ground every 6 feet around your house but they don't actually attract termites to this thing. It's not an effective way to prevent termites. It's a complete failure and it didn't work. The cost was average. Their responsiveness was fine. He did come on time. Professionalism was fine.

It was very good. I have a service contract with them where they come four times a year or something. I am not quite sure how much their last visit was. The gentleman who came, his name is Todd, is very, very helpful. He explains things to me -- what the problem is and why it is not a problem; they take the time.
Description of Work: They checked the whole house for insects and rodents. They sprayed outside and then they checked inside.

The service was very good. They have checked the sunroom every time and the mouse has never come back from the first time. I was using another pest control company and Cowley's seems much better than the other company. They are very helpful, they explain and they came much quicker than the other company came. They are just much better.

This was the first time they came out. They came the very next morning after I called them. They just took care of it. I was just saying the other day to my daughter that I was so much happier with them than I was with a previous company I used. I will keep the contract with Cowley's and let the contract with the other company go.

We've been using Cowleys Pest Services for years. There's nothing I dislike about them. They're fine. We've been using them for years, infact, probably decades to this point. Our interaction with them has been fine. When I call them, they come. We have a couple of contracts enforced and they automatically take care of those and then send me a bill and, you know, a couple of things might be a little bit pry on stuff, other than that, everything is fine. The work that they've done turned out fine. I would obviously use them again in the future.
