The instructions that Bob gave me definitely helped. The bites are almost gone. I've laid some traps and caught ants. The dogs are getting heavy flea treatments. I feel better but still think I may need the help of a professional. When that time comes, I will not hesitate to use Bob.
Description of Work: I called K-9 because my family has been getting mysterious bug bites. We have 2 dogs and live on the Hudson River. With the heat and rain this summer, bugs have been a serious issue. We weren't sure if it was Bed Bugs, or fleas, or ants. I was ready to schedule an appt with Bob and have him come out with his bog to inspect the apt. Instead, Bob spent a good 20 minutes with me explaining the possible cause of my problem and that I need to consider dust mites as well. I explained when I got bits and what they looked like and he took his time to explain what i should do first. The instructions were to take rubbing alcohol and start spraying down my bedroom and living room. Then follow up with vacuuming the apt. Repeat several times and go purchase mattress covers to prevent bed bugs. I was shocked that he spent so much time with me to no benefit of his own.

I purchased an Angie's List Big Deal for this service and the person who came out was excellent. We had trouble coordinating a schedule for him to come out because he had to do the outside treatment when it wasn't raining. The price was good.
Description of Work: I used k9 Bug Detectors to check for bedbugs. The person who came out had a dog that checked for bedbugs. He also did a treatment around my house.

He was great, very courteous and knowledgeable... However, I called three times after that trying to get him back to help out and he has yet to come. He never remembered who I was that he came to the house. He made an appointment with me and never showed up, nor ever called me back to confirm another time. I also got the sense that he will only come back if I agree to the quarterly service. It was as if he wont help me unless I planned to pay $500 a year for him to come out. I thought he was great the first time, but now after calling so many times and nothing, I am looking for someone else to come out and help me with the issue.
Description of Work: He came to the house with two days of calling to go through our carpenter ant problem. He went through the house and around to look at the source, laid bait down and helped us identify where the other bugs and rodents were getting in. he talked through our options of service and what we can do to best keep the "unwanted" out.

He was supposed to come on a Friday and he couldn't come because it was raining. He rescheduled for the following Monday. When he showed up he was late. We let him know what was going on and he went into the basement. When he came up he said there was nothing wrong and didn't see anything. There was still a smell in the basement so we ended up going to home depot and got sticky traps. Within a couple of hours we had two rats. The house is older, but these things do happen. He didn't make any effort to look for pests or put down traps when he came by. Also, the basement does not have access to the outside. It is not a walk out basement that a rodent could easily come in. I feel like he should of known how to prop or look for rodents and pest. He stated he didn't see anything.
Description of Work: We found a dead bird in the basement. It wasn’t the first time that we had found a bird. We purchased the big deal for $129 for full interior & exterior pest control treatment plus a thorough k9 bed bug inspection.

Robert came on time and sprayed both inside and outside my house including the gutters where yellow jackets had nested. The yellow jackets were a real nuisance. And I haven't had any of them back . Robert also brought his German Shepard dog for bed bug detection. But I didn't have any bed bugs but I will know who to call if I do in the future.

I had a clothes moth issue. He identified the issues and did a general spraying in the areas of greatest concern. Both he and his business partner were friendly and really knew the business. These guys are definitely experts! So far so good , although a second round may be necessary once I do some cleaning and throwing out of some clothes. I would highly recommend these guys. Quick, straight to the point, effective , efficient and good price. Can't beat that! Plus I like the fact that they are local and not some huge company. Keeps the price reasonable and the customer service top notch.
Description of Work: Robert did a general house inspection to figure out where the bug problems were. He was very professional and also very down to earth and honest.

Response from K9 Bug Detectors
Client purchased a one time treatment , as he was told and as I tell everyone NOT always does a one time treatment work , especially when the infestation was so bad and the home has not been serviced or had ever had any preventative services prior to are arrival . I offered are quarterly service at a DISCOUNTED price and was refused . The yearly service would had, had UNLIMITED services to eliminate the ant problem ...

When I first called the company the owner Bob answered the phone himself. He listened to my issues and was kind enough to answer some questions over the phone . I was able to get an appointment within just a few days. Bob arrived right on time and even gave me a call a half hour before he came to confirm. Bob gave a very thorough examination of my entire house inside and out. I had lots of questions and Bob was patient and knowledgeable enough to answer them all. He knew exactly what the bugs were that I had kept as specimens. I did have some concern that I had bedbugs but Bruno, Bob!s awesome bedbug sniffing dog, found none.Yeah! Bob explained the treatment options for my bug issues and went right to work. His pricing is very fair, his knowledge is expansive, and he is an overall nice person! I have used other exterminators in the past and wasn't happy with their service . Bob is my new go to bug guy!
Description of Work: I was having some issues with bugs in the house as well as wondering if what i had seen was a bed bug. I saw the deal from this company posted on Angies List. The reviews posted were all very good so I gave them a try.

The price for the treatment was HALF of the quote from another company (that advertises on TV). I was very pleased for the service (but hope not to have to use it again).
Description of Work: The inspector and his dog were able to come the day after my call. The inspector was thorough (full basement, 2 floors, and attic) and localized the bedbug infestation to a few rooms on the second floor. The treatment involved four return visits.

I can’t say enough about Bobby and his dog Bruno. My daughter went to an overnight camp with her class and apparently came home with bedbugs in her sleeping bag/suitcase. Although I threw out the sleeping bag and suitcase and laundered her clothes immediately, she must have transferred some bugs to her room. Within days of her trip my daughter developed severe and classic rashes on her arms and legs. I called K9 Bug Detectors and left a message and within hours Bobby returned my call. Hearing my distress and apprehension, he came that day with his dog Bruno to inspect my home. Fortunately, the problem was localized to only a few areas and he was able to begin treatment immediately. Bobby was extremely patient and kind to my daughter who was understandably upset by the situation. He provided his email address for any questions and left me with clear instructions as to what I needed to do. Being able to contact him with questions and concerns was really important to me and gave my family a sense of control and peace of mind during this stressful situation. It is important for me to say that Bobby went well above and beyond the call of duty in my case as I have a child with special needs who receives therapies in our home. Throughout treatment these teachers were understandably unwilling to come to my home to work with her. In an effort to expedite matters, Bobby made a special trip to my home with Bruno to see if we had eradicated the problem so that I could resume my daughter’s therapy schedule as soon as possible. His willingness to help me in this matter makes me so glad I chose his company. I cannot say enough about how great my experience with K9 Bug Detectors and Bobby was.
Description of Work: After Bobby and Bruno confirmed the presense of bedbugs in our home, he perfromed the initial treatment in those areas affected. He provided me with contact information for any questions or concerns I might have and gave me a detailed instruction sheet to follow. He returned the following week for a more involved treatment application and again spent a great deal of time answering my questions. The next step was to allow a few weeks to elapse before returing to see what the results of treatment were. I made a request to Bobby to have his dog Bruno return earlier as I have a child with special needs who receives therapies at home. This treatment had been suspended since the determination that we had bedbugs. By agreeing to come back earlier and see if it was possible to clear our home, Bobby showed a tremendous amount of compassion and understanding toward the particual issues I was facing. For this reason alone I would recommend him to anyone with similar issues. I would never wish bedbugs on anyone and hope to never have to deal with them again, but I take a great deal of comfort in knowing that K9 Bug Detectors, Bobby and Bruno are available should I ever need them again.

We called Bob when our child showed signs of bug bites on her back and shoulders. He arrived punctually the next day with his amazing dog Hugo. Hugo went room by room through our whole house and was able to detect with pin point accuracy where there were active bed bugs. For example, we had removed and washed the mattress pad on our child's bed and Hugo immediately brought it to our attention. Despite the wash and dry something was clearly active on it. It was in a completely different room. Fortunately the infestation was limmited to Bob was able to treat and remediate for us in a way that was far less disruptive than other people had suggested. He trains his dogs with incredible care and skill. He does not reward them with treats. As a result, his dogs do not actively seek to locate bugs where there are none just to receive their "reward". Instead they carefully and accurately find them if they are hidden but present. Bob was always responsive to our calls and emails and made what could have been a horrible nightmare a manageable problem. I would give him the highest recomendation possible. I can't say enough positive things about how well he handled himself and his dogs. He is a true professional. If you suspect you have bed bugs - K9 Bug Detectors is the first call you should make! You will not regret it! We are located in NJ but I know that he does work in PA and NY as well.
Description of Work: Came to evaluate and inspect home for bed bugs. Discovered bugs, provided estimate for services and then successfully treated our home and got rid of the bugs. Inspection and confirmation of success was confirmed by his highly skilled bed bug detecting dog "Hugo". Services included an initial inspection and treatment and then two more visits to conclude treatment and confirm that the bed bugs had been completely removed.
