Contacted them last week for termite inspection and quote. I was able to schedule a quick appointment. The day of the appointment I was contacted by the office asking if I could change the time. I notify them that I was not able to due to family obligations and left appointment as scheduled. I left work and drove 40 mins to my house to be on time for the appointment. After waiting for 30 mins I called the office and they said they had called 9 mins before appointment to notify me the technician was in traffic and we should change appointment. If they thought they could not make the appointment on time they should have notify me when they called earlier. I am also a very busy person and took time off my work to be on time for the appointment, I expect any company that I hire to do the same. Would not hire them.

They missed appointments and call backs, and didn't make good on their "special deal". Finally after several attempts to schedule their service (that we paid for in advance), they told us that the offer had expired Definitely won't deal with them again, and probably won't use any Angie's list prepaid "offers" again.

Response from Protex Termite & Pest Control Inc
I am sorry that you feel that way. You purchased the deal last year and never scheduled it. The deals are only good for 6 months and that is why you were told that the deal expired. You can't expect service when you don't respond with days and times that work for you. You waiting 10 months before contacting us again for treatment. I am sorry that we were unable to agree on when to do your treatment and it never did get done, but that is not only our fault.

It's alright. It's not very good but it's not bad either. I would give them average. They had some delay issues with them. They are okay. It was a years worth of service. They would push our appointments back sometimes but when they were here it was good. In the beginning they were good but the later visits were when the timing was off. I don't really feel that is a good deal at $299. I would tell a friend they are not standing out but they are average.

We kept hearing mice walking around in our attic, so we brought in Protec. He set mouse traps in the garage, basement, and attic. He plugged in holes/cracks where the mice might be getting in. He explained where we could make home improvements to ensure that mice don't get in from the outside. He came back a week later to see if we were having any additional issues. In retrospect, we could have set our own traps and done some of the same things on our own, but we didn't think about it. No disrespect to the company, we just like to done our own work if we can. In the future, we will do it ourselves.

After a week of trying to get rid of springtails with store bought products my wife convinced me to call someone to come and spray. At first I was like who should I call since you hear good and bad things about having chemicals sprayed. I saw a protex truck in front of me one morning and decided to look them up on angies list. After reading all the great reviews and them promising that the chemicals would be safe I decided to use them. Within that week they came and sprayed. I am a little disappointed that I still have a few left but they said it takes a little time for them to all go away and would give a 60 day warranty. This should not be taken as an insult since if I hired any other company it would probably be the same issue and no other company would give a 60 day warranty. If I have other issues in the future, I would definately consider this company and would recommend them to others. There was no sales person involved on the phone trying to push me to spend $400-$600 on an annual treatment contract when this is the first time we noticed the bugs after being in the house for almost 4 years. They also respond to all messages very quickly.
Description of Work: The provider came and sprayed for springtails.

The provider was not able to perform services. They rescheduled twice and then asked that I get my money back for the coupon I purchased since they were not able to perform the services at all. I do not understand how they offer a coupon for services they cannot provide. Misleading and a waste of time.

The technician was better than on-time, he was early, and had reviewed the outside of the house by the time I arrived. He was courteous, professional, and helpful. Did a thorough job and told us some things we didn't know about the house! - some simple repairs that we didn't even know we needed, to protect from insect invasions (and have since had done). A very positive experience. We definitely will use them again.
Description of Work: This was an "Angie's List Special" - for $144, the technician reviewed the entire house including attic, basement, and outside around the perimeter and in the crawl space. We wanted to spray for cave crickets and spiders. The technician explained what was needed, sprayed thoroughly, put glue traps out for miscreant cave crickets.

Unresponsive. we have since used Viking and were very satisfied.
Description of Work: First we called Protex and left a message for them to return our call. It was a Saturday so we didnt expect a call until Monday.

Blake arrived on time and performed an internal inspection with my husband. He placed traps in all of the areas he had inspected. Due to the weather an external inspection was scheduled for a later date. on his return visit we found that the initial traps caught 1 mouse and the remaining traps are still in place. Also on this visit he applied spray foam to the areas of our foundation that were visible and potential points of entry. Blake will return to check the traps again and inspect the foundation underneath the back deck. We are completely satisfied with the service we received and the price was extremely fair.

Mr. Coleman arrived promptly, listened to homeowner's complaints re: ants. Looked at the specimen ant collected by homeowner. He explained what he planned to use, its effectiveness against this type of ant, at this time of year. Also considered homeowner's concerns re: toxicity. Went about dispensing the gel solution in certain areas. Advised homeowner what to expect, how ants would respond to the gel, and to call back in 2 weeks to report results. Happy to report the ant problem resolved! If there is any reoccurrence I would definitely call upon Mr. Coleman's company again.
