They had to come back twice because it was difficult to find how they got in. First the sealed openings in corners of the roof with special venting material . Then the bats came back several months later. They found another entrance way where the roof comes down to just above the floor of the attic and there is vent spacing there with screening. But the space was too big. So they put protection on the gutter which acts as screening and keeps leaves out of the gutter. Have not had a problem in nearly a year so I guess it is fixed.
Description of Work: Had bats in our attic.

They came back twice to fix the problem. The first time they filled in gaps in the corners of the house. The second time they filled in gaps above one of the gutters.

The gentleman came on time and did a through inspection. He went into the attic, crawlspace and other places. They left a number of traps and came back to clear out two rodents. They also sealed all entry points; which did the trick I guess.

Bob was responsive and I was able to get a quick appointment. He came and inspected the property for possible entry points and closed them up. Traps were set. His associate came back a few days later to do a recheck. So far we are satisfied with the work done. This is the second time we've used Protex. The first time was for ants in our previous home. I will continue to use them for any pest concerns.
Description of Work: We moved into our new home a few months ago and as the cold weather approached began having issues with mice.

Extremely unsatisfied. Two issues with them. They installed traps on the roof and during the installation popped out nails out of the roof. It started leaking. I had to contact the contractor to fix the roof. I mentioned that I saw squirrels in the ceiling. They came and installed the traps on the roof closing out ceiling with Squirrels inside. They let the squirrel in ceiling trapped for six days and finally after no squirrels in traps(they were trapped in ceiling) they opened up ceiling and caught squirrel. All six days they let squirrels trapped inside ceiling letting them do the damage to insulation but nothing else to do. They could have caught the squirrels on first day as they did on sixth day. I had to call another guy to fix all the insulation. On phone he doesn't want to listen what I have to say but insists on full payment. When I mentioned about negative review on Angies list, all he said is he can give explanation to anything I write.

Response from Protex Termite & Pest Control Inc
Im sorry you feel that way/ But we don't use nails to secure traps to roofs/ the squirrels were there for months and had torn out all the insulation inthe corners of the eve/ I actually removed it all for you at no charge, which was contaminated and chewed in to very small pieces with at least a 50 gallon bag of straw from starlings that had been nesting in there also/ When people ignore problems with squirrels for long periods of time they can do allot of damage and most of the time it can take much longer to correct problem/ There is no way that what I did could have caused a leek in your roof/ I spent 45 minutes going over exactly what I would do to correct the problem and you agreed to the plan/ Besides the fact it took me 7 weeks to get paid and numerous phone calls which were ignored/ The bottom line is I feel that I did a great job in solving your problem with the very difficult construction of your garage roof eves/ mainly because that there is no framing under the vinyl siding on the corners of your garage/ I used all my years of experience to secure the corners for you/ I probably should of just told you to call a contractor in which case you would of had to spent a lot of money to remove the siding and put a frame under the corners of your eve. I did a lot of extra work for you because we had worked on other problems in the past which you were satisfied with. I am a very competent pest control operator and I solved your problem. Thank You Robert Coleman Protex Pest Control

We've had Protex come out a few times for different problems. Bob, the owner, is always very responsive, polite, and professional. If you stick with him while he's working, he'll often teach you some pretty interesting things -- he taught me all about how to spot signs of mice, some of the psychology behind their behavior, and how they can be dealt with. He always does a thorough job, often doing additional minor work or repairs in the area of the pest problem (that go beyond the core pest issue), if warranted. We've also had Blake come to help out, and he is just as polite and professional. Overall, very happy with our experiences with Protex and will continue to recommend them.

Blake was very nice and punctual. We had to be out of the house for a few hours. They bagged stuff in my son's room. Protex actually sprayed our whole house. I bought mattress and boxspring covers for all our beds. The treatment seems to have worked! Protex came back and did an additional treatment for $80. We have another appointment scheduled. My only suggestion is that they should have more written instructions as to what to do after the treatment, such as keeping the doors to the closet closed and washing anything else in hot water and dryer for 30 minutes.
Description of Work: I was mortified to find we had bedbugs in my son's rooms. Got a few estimates. Another exterminator wanted between $2 and $3K. I jokingly said I would rather stay with the bedbugs!

Protex is professional and thorough. They gave us exactly what we asked for and they were prompt and responsive to our calls and requests. Bob gave us suggestions as to how we can avoid this problem in the future (even though that might mean he wouldn't get any business from us if the spiders are gone!). We would definitely use them again for any pest control problems.
Description of Work: Bob came out to spray for wolf spiders found in our basement. He did a thorough job of protecting both the inside and outside perimeter of our house and took time to explain what he did and what we should expect. He set sticky traps to help monitor and eliminate these pests from our home. He came back out about a month later to re-spray and check traps.

Arrived on time (which I love), did a thorough inspection and although nothing was found he suggested methods I could use to deter the rodents from coming back in the future. Would use this company again in a heart beat if I ever had another pest problem.
Description of Work: Did an exterior inspection of my property looking for rodent nests as I had found a few dead possums in my yard and wanted to make sure I didn't have a nest.
