We hired Mantis Pest Control to spray as a preventative measure. They spread inside and around the house. It took about 30 minutes. I wish the job description of the deal we bought would have been a bit more explanatory, I might have bought something a little more in depth. But overall, its kept the bugs away.

I called the provider to inquire about the service and they basically frowned upon me & denied the job. I informed the company that they had used a much cheaper alternative by using a smoke bomb method for the removal, they admitted that they have used this cheaper service however refused to do that for me. I feel the company is hypocritical & this is a double standard.

I am sorry that we couldn't come to terms on the service you requested. We DO NOT use smoke bombs to smoke out animals! We are an extremely humane pest control company. We have NEVER and will Never use smoke/insecticide for your proposed purposes. I hope you found a company that better suits your needs. Receiving an F from someone who never received any of our services is a bit troubling. Best Regards, Tom Pavlou General Manager Mantis Pest Control

Very responsive. I found out that I had yellow jackets building a nest inside the dining room wall, called at 9 AM and they were able to get to my house by 11:00. They took care of the wasp problem in less than 45 minutes. I would definitely recommend.

Mantis did a great job. They answered my (many) questions over the phone and showed up right on time. Even called ahead to see if it was okay for them to arrive earlier than scheduled. Jim was careful to use a pet-safe product inside my house and in my backyard and the heavy-duty stuff in areas my dog won't be able to access. He did a thorough inspection for termites and carpenter ants. I recommend them and will use them again (hopefully, only for preventive maintenance)!

Service was prompt and professional. I found out it is difficult to get rid of yellow jackets unless you know exactly where they have build a nest. One problem was a paper wasp nest had appeared on my front porch. I alerted the workers to this upon our first meeting and then discussion. However, after they had finished, I found the paper wasp nest had not been treated. The firm provided a new worker the next day, but I was charged an additional $50, which was fair, since the original pest control was for yellow jackets.

This is the second job done with Mantis Pest because of their prompt and professional service. The first time, after a misunderstanding, the owner refunded us immediately! They cleared a few wasp nests but nests reappeared in another area, so we called them again. After purchasing a deal with Mantis, the company reached out right away to schedule a date. When there was an issue, the owner personally arrived to discuss solutions and was extremely helpful. Prompt. Professional. Courteous. They removed a few wasp nests on our property and followed up. I wish all service was like theirs. I would recommend them to anyone.

Excellent results! The aggressive bees were gone in a day and haven't returned.
Description of Work: Because these were carpenter bees, the cost was more, but I only paid the difference between the $160.00 originally charged and the actual charge and the service is guaranteed for a year.
