They did a really good job. They were the only ones to treat the inside and outside of my garage. I had coverage on the inside and the outside. Their treatment killed it right away. Their guy they sent out was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Response from MANTIS PEST CONTROL CO
I have reached out to this client to discuss their bad experience. We have not heard back yet. Mantis has no record of ever treating her house for ants. This is a big concern considering we were given a bad review for not getting rid of them! We DO have record of treating her home for MICE. Our records indicate we went to the house ONE time, not twice as stated by the customer. I am not sure why the discrepancy? I would really like to clear this matter up. Mantis has survived nearly 50 years as a small business by proudly serving our clients and we stand behind our work. If a client is unhappy we take it seriously. Hopefully this can be rectified. Sincerely, Tom P General Manager Mantis Pest Control

I already sprayed the wasp nest before they arrived, they had a really poor and vocal opinion about the spray I used for no good reason. In fact, contrary to their opinion when the inspected it, the nest was already empty. They did find a different infestation on the other side of the house though and cleared it.

Well, pretty well. I was hoping they would locate the entry point per their service list but he just sprayed the downstairs interior and outside. Ants had been in the upstairs bath but since they were dead, he didn't go there. There is a year warranty though, so if ants return I can call and I'm sure they would repeat and find the entry point. .

Thanks so much for your business!! Points of entry with ants are a tough one. We generally try to determine if they are nesting in a window void for example versus just randomly entering the house. If you see anything of concern please let us know as you are covered under warranty. Your warranty is also renewable at the end of its term. You should receive something regarding this in Aug or early Sept 2018. Once again....Thanks! Regards, Tom P Mantis

James from Mantis came out and did an inspection of the attic and around the perimeter of our roof from the outside. Much as luck would have it, there was zero wasp activity while he was here, and in recent days in fact. Based on how he described dealing with wasps, he needs to see where the wasps are entering and leaving the house to effectively remove any nests and treat the area. In searching around the attic perimeter towards the soffits where the nest(s) would likely be, nothing visible anywhere. Since he wasn't able to exterminate anything, he didn't charge me, and so I can't rate on quality, but in all regards they are an A. Very professional, punctual, educated me while here, prices were competitive, great follow-up, etc.. I will use them in the future.
Description of Work: We've had large wasps in our attic over the past 2-3 weeks, with a few finding their way into our living areas. I saw Mantis had a special for wasp extermination and that they had good reviews, so bought the special.

We thank you for your business!! Unfortunately, our office assistant has only fundamental knowledge of pest issues and is not a licensed pesticide applicator. I believe she was asking a technician for some info that you may have requested. We also have an antiquated phone system and are in the process of upgrading; hoping to provide a better customer experience. If you have any concerns regarding your treatment, please don't hesitate to call. Thanks again!!!! Regards, Tom P Mantis Pest Control

I called because I had concerns about having carpenter ants and/or termite infestation. Mantis responded at the scheduled time and was very professional in looking for signs of infestation both on the inside and outside of the house. After a thorough search, they advised that there was no need of treatment. It would have been very easy for them to recommend some sort of treatment that was not needed. Very professional and honest company. You can't ask for more.

Called Mantis Pest Control at 8:30 am. Received immediate response and James Nolty was immediately dispatched to my home. He arrived in 25 minutes, checked the ants, explained what they are and how they behave, commended my treatment (a regular home defense stuff). There was nothing else to be done, he explained, and said a very friendly goodbye and did not charge us anything. Honest and professional. Highly recommended.

They sprayed for about 10-15 minutes inside and around the home and thankfully now, most of the ants are gone. But when I spoke with them over the phone, the lady said the price I paid included a 1 year warranty, but the guy who did the spraying said I had "pavement ants" and not "carpenter ants" and for these ants, the warranty was only good for 60 days. So I was happy with their service but I just felt I got overcharged since the warranty was so short.

Thanks so much for your business! I was not aware of the warranty issue until now. Though the ant issue you had was not something we cover for a year, we WILL cover for a year anyway, as the treatment you paid for was a bit more expensive. Once again, thanks! Regards, Tom P Mantis Pest Control
