Brent was the best pest control professional...Once I saw it, 3 days of sleepless nights until the day of my appointment..He started his inspection in the basement and worked his way up through the house. Brent was very knowledgeable and explained the areas in the house where traps should be...He also checked the outside of the home for any places something could enter...I am super pleased with Protex and Brent is officially my Exterminator! Hire this company! You won't regret it and you get a 6 month guarantee!

They came out promptly, and handled the situation professionally. I had a huge ant issue. They offered me two service packages, and I chose the 1-yr option. They came out the first time, and said that if the issue wasn't resolved in three weeks to call back. I had to have them come out one more time, and they were able to schedule me quickly. After the second application, I haven't had any more issues. It is nice that I had an entire year of service incase the ants came back.

The owner kicked my dogs (two of them) as I was trying to get them to sit. If he had a problem he should have asked me to come outside. He was nasty and extremely unprofessional. I plan to file a complaint. Do not use this company.

Response from Protex Termite & Pest Control Inc
First off, let me say I am a dog lover. I have had several dogs in my lifetime and would never do anything to harm anyone's pet in anyway. The way you described the incident that happened is untrue. You answered your door and asked me to come into your home. Your three dogs looked very friendly and I assumed since you turned away from me that I was supposed to follow you and that your dogs were trained not to jump up on people. As soon as I walked in your door, the three dogs jumped up and started scratching my legs. Not that its any of your business, but I have a medical condition where if my legs get scratched, it could cause severe problems. You should have control of your dogs at all times if youre going to let someone enter your home. The fact that I was pushing the dogs away with my feet was a reflex that I had no control over. I was simply protecting myself. In the future I would recommend that you put your dogs in a separate room if youre going to invite any service technicians in to your home to do any type of work.

We made an initial consultation appointment with Bob. He came out on the date and time we had scheduled (he was actually able to come early). He discussed our overall issue with the flea problem we were having and what we've done thus far. Based on this discussion, Bob didn't think it was necessary to treat our home; thought that we we were doing was working well however, he did highly recommend we treat our outside. We made an appointment to have the actual treatment done a few days later. The technician, Brent, came out scheduled day and time and proeceeded with the outside treatment which is a "green" treatment. In additon to what Protex did outside andour change in flea remedies for our dog, we have not seen any fleas!! There are a couple of things I feel important to highlight about this business: 1) Bob was very professional, customer focused and "listened" to our issue. 2) He could have recommended we treat the inside but, he did not, since he felt it was not necessary at the moment. I really appreciated his honesty. 3) Brent, the technician, was also very professional. Overall, the whole experience went better than I anticipated.

Protex Termite and Pest Control provide outstanding customer service, and their employees take pride in their work. Bob, owner, and scheduler, is knowledgeable and was quick to answer any questions via Angie's List. Make sure you request Brent who is another 5 STAR for this 5 STAR company -- If all service calls could be so perfect from beginning to end, we would all be so much happier.

The guy shows up 30 minute ahead of time though it was early in the morning I was impressed but he did not even spent 20 minutes to inspect for termite. The way he inspected I would have done better job instead of spending money on him.

Our annual inspection that comes with each warranty renewal is only a visual inspection that takes about 15 minutes, as was explained. We have visited this home for the past 13 years and the same inspection process has been performed each time. If evidence of termites was found, we would have treated the home accordingly at no cost as guaranteed. Please note on your invoice that our tech explained that no termites or termite evidence were found. Please also note that your home has been termite free and has not needed any retreatment since it was originally treated.

We've been a Protex customer for over 10 years and they have always done a fine job. So, yearly service was always $128, but last year we forgot to call them. This year they decided to crush us for $499, evidently because we skipped a year? Nobody informed us of that last year when we forgot to call. The worst part is Bob’s customer service skills (he’s the owner). He was condescending and berating to me. When I was going over past pricing, he said “thats great, now i know you can do math!” I’m like WHAT? Buyer beware.... and you just lost a customer!!!

Response from Protex Termite & Pest Control Inc
We are responding to this criticism of our service because we feel its very unfair of the homeowner. Just to be clear, before we started the service we gave the price to the homeowner's wife which she agreed to. After spending close to an hour and a half outside doing the carpenter ant treatment, we came inside to do complete the work and he refused to pay the agreed upon amount, stating that since he was a good customer he should only have to pay 25% of the price. He had no warranty which expired close to two years earlier and then expects our company to honor his old warranty. Let it be known that we did finally agree that he would only pay the price that he was previously paying for and still he is not happy. Unfortunately these things happen in business and we try to avoid situation like this which is why we always give a price before we start service.

Nicole responded to my call promptly & set up a convenient time for inspection & estimates by Brent. The work was scheduled in short order. Bob assisted closing up holes around the roof trim. Brent handled all phases of the project - was very responsive & reassuring around my concerns &, exceeded expectations w dependable, punctual &, competent professionalism & ease. I would not hesitate using Protex services again if needed &, may also consider their preventive maintenance year-round pest control package of quarterly treatments for mice, spiders, crickets, silverfish & centipedes.
Description of Work: Squirrels chewing their way in around the roofline & into the attic - very persistent & destructive. Points of entry were covered w special steelwool, foam &, metal screens. Traps were set up in attic & on the roof &, checked daily until problem resolved. I purchased a service contract that includes a one-year warranty so problem can be followed up as needed & eliminated more reliably since squirrels are very territorial &, likely to return to undo work & reclaim my home.

The owner came, found openings around the perimeter of the house and sealed them. He then set multiple traps inside the basement where the droppings were found and caught them all. He then brought new traps, set them again. Here we are 2 months later and no more caught. Keep in mind he will keep doing this for up to 2 years! Great service!!!

I originally called another highly rated local service who wanted me to wait a full four days for an inspector to come out and evaluate the situation. As I wrote above, the situation was clear: we had mice running around the house. I called Protex, and they offered to come out the next morning. They indeed came exactly as scheduled. The technician took me around the house, showing me where the mice might be getting in. He sealed up likely entrance spots and set a number of traps. Another tech came back one week later exactly as scheduled and cleared the traps and trimmed the foam seal. No more mice! I was very happy with the service.
Description of Work: We had a mini-infestation of mice and needed a pest control service to get rid of them.

Bob, the owner and technician, is fantastic. He explained what he was doing and made quick work of an active yellow-jacket nest, located in a cinder block on the border of our garden. Price was extremely reasonable. Also great communication with the office, which was all done on Angie's List messaging. Generally very quick to reply. I also used Protex several years ago to exclude mice from entering our home, and was extremely satisfied with that service as well.

Technician was friendly and professional. He showed up on time and got right to work. He sprayed the foundation outside, the area where we thought the ant nest was at the edge of the property, front and back deck area, and the baseboards inside. Haven't seen any ants inside the house since the treatment. There was no problem with the prepaid coupon or scheduling. I would hire again. One tip if you need this service: Clear any stuff away from the baseboards ahead of time. I was scrambling a bit to make a path for him

I was very glad I signed up a deal via Angie's List for Protex. Had a mice problem (cat had caught 4) but didn't know how many more there might be. Bob, the owner, came to the house on time and did an inspection of the outside of the house. He found the likely entry way for the mice and sealed it off along with a few other entry points. He laid about 10 traps. That very night, we caught 7 more mice! He came back a few days later at an appointed time to lay some more traps but over the last week, we haven't seen or caught any more! Problem solved! Reliable and great service! Would recommend.

Nicole was very accommodating in getting me scheduled on my day off during the week. Bob showed up right on time and explained everything he was going to do inside and outside. I have used Protex for ants and mice prior to this and have never had any issue with them. All of my concerns were addressed and they are very competitive with pricing among other pest control companies. This is why I have decided to use them on a regular basis.
