I pay them an one time fee a year, and they come out as needed. Overall, I am pleased with the services. I don't have any problems.
Description of Work: Replaced a lot of traps they put down last treatment with new ones, and inspect for any pests. This treatment was mostly indoors, where the next treatment will be mostly outdoors.

They were very thorough and the carpenter bee issue is much more under control. We used a different pest company last year and we did not see as much of an improvement as we have with Western's services.

The company responded quickly but with poor service quality. The guy just stayed in the house about half an hour and put several traps. We asked the techinician to check if there are any holes between garage and house, he did not do it even we spent a lot efforts moving stuff. The inspection was quick and not careful. We signed up its HPP program that included preventive program, but we did not see the action.
Description of Work: We found mice inside the house, and asked the company to clean up and perform preventive actions.

The person sent first for an evaluation was totally professional. I decided to sign up for a year of service so that I don't have to search for help in the future. I have seen no more wasps/yellow jackets and the ants problem seems to be gone, too.

They were really good. Basically he on point. They were good. The guy was professional and basically came on time and fixed the problem, get rid of the roaches. They came in and took care of it and after two weeks I haven't seen one or two roaches and until this day I haven't seen one or two roaches. I get a yearly contract with them and they are a little expensive than the other companies but what they do is, they come four times a year, per quarter, treat the entire house and everything and then if you see any insect during that one year, you can call them and they will come out with absolutely no additional charge and take care of it. It's great. It's pretty good service for a $600 and the best thing is that, whatever treatment they have are very effective because we had an issue with our tenants that we rent out to and they came in and really took care of it. I was very pleased.

Found bugs all over kitchen & closets of clothes. No clue what they were. Called around & had other companies come check & give me estimates. Was told we had carpet beetles from prior company's consult. Husband uses Western Pest throughout the city of Jersey City for Fire Dept so called them. A Rep came out & investigated the entire house, inside & out, looked at my bag of bugs, then sat with us to go over what he found, cost of service & what was included. The District Sales Rep, Otha Tisdale, Jr. was great. He has been in business for over 20 years & was very knowledgeable. I hate bugs (not that most like them, especially in your food bowls or all over your clothing, but, ...) & Otha told me everything they would do & what WE needed to do to handle where we were at at the time.... We both felt more comfortable with Otha than other companies & their reps; plus carpet beetles were INCLUDED in contract pricing & not extra. On top of that, due to my husband having contract at work, we were given discount. After everything that was done & being witness to their work (well, hubby was), the savings & the fact that our bug issue was included were added bonuses. The knowledge & care received from both our tech ( Ugh! I will get his name) & Otha Tisdale, Jr, the District Sales Rep, I feel better already. Still living in plastic bags & clean more than my OCD hands ever thought possible, but the assurance that they are there when we need them & any question I ask they know the answer. (Believe me, I want to know my opponent & I asked ALOT of questions!!!) Western Pest Services614 Eagle Rock AveWest Orange, NJ 07052OTHA TISDALE, JrDistrict Sales Rep973-731-8001
Description of Work: During free consultation, our rep, Otha, searched every room, on each floor, including basement & crawl space, as well as the entire perimeter of the house. We were told to clear floors of anything that doesn't belong on floor. Otha said the tech would spray the baseboards in each room, basement & crawl space, as well as outdoors. Since it will be our first time & we are already having problems, this will be more in depth than rest of yearly visits. We had to be out of house for 4 hours after service as well as our dogs. After appt was made, they came out within few days of consult. We cleared floors & moved everything else, (furniture, mattress, ...) into middle of room to make it easier to gt to baseboards. We had 5 hour window & were fortunate that he had cancellation & came within the first 2 hours of that 5. Our tech came in, sprayed the baseboards as told, but also sprayed into all of our radiators, throughout the basement, & into the upstairs crawl space. He went around the home & inspected & sprayed everywhere he could. He told me to expect to see more bugs in the beginning & they would be back within 4-10 days. My day was set for 7. I was allowed to vacuum but don't wash floors within few inches of baseboards & of course the actual baseboards. He left sticky boards in all the rooms to track the movement, if any. We vacuumed all the rooms within 24-36 hours of service. Over the next week, we slowly starting cleaning each room & putting things back. We saw more bugs as told. Our tech came back the following wed as scheduled - with the first hour again!! The tech (can't think of his name for the life of me, sorry) saw nothing. Of course, now into Saturday, We are seeing more & more of the larva which means that eggs must have hatched (EEEWWWW). But we are vacuuming or squashing them as we see them. Since we are in the middle of kitchen reno, tech told us if we see more than normal, especially as we start renovating, to just call, 24-7-365 & they will come back out & spot spray whatever area there is motion. So it's reassuring to know that as much as I hate to see more, if we do, they will spray more & hopefully we can get a handle on this. Now, since it was on ALL my clothes, we emptied ALL closets, drawers, anything & everything that was a fabric has been put into huge black contractor trash bags to get cleaned - 28 bags total. Once cleaned, the clothes go into air tight space bags & air tight plastic containers. We will probably stay this way until I know that EVERYTHING has been scrubbed & there are NO signs of anything. May just be me taking that extra precaution, but I wouldn't wish this upon anyone. So better safe, than sorry. Will keep you posted.On side note, we also get milliepedes and other bugs throughout the year & all that is covered. We paid the extra for carpenter ants even though we don't have them, just in case, so we are covered & there is a serenity in that. haven't seen anything else other than the larva for the carpet beetles & maybe one spider....

We had ants in our house. They put some stuff around the house keeping the ants to getting to them. There were trees and bushes around the house and the ants used to get into the house through them. There were some ants in the ad deck as well and they said that we had to trim the trees so that they could clean the ad deck. Then we trimmed the trees and we called them again but they didn’t clean the ad deck and they again put some stuff around the house and left. Their price was very reasonable. They were responsive and professional. They knew what they were doing. The only thing was the consistency between what they said they were going to do and what they ended up doing. The day they said they would clean up the ad deck, they never went into the house. Their price was fair.

After many years of trying to keep pests under control we had reached a point where ants were regularly finding their way on the first floor of our home. Occasionally they would find their way to food scraps (floors only) in the kitchen area. We called about 4 pest control services, all of which quoted similar prices, I believe just under $400. In each case they seemed to be offering 3 treatments, an initial followed by two continuing applications. They also offered free follow up in the case any pests are not controlled. Some did not actually look at the home to quote prices, I did not trust that. JRG did stop by to offer the quote. We hired JRG ( http://www.jrgpest.com/ ) (same as Western Pest Service) from the number listed above on Angies List. I do not know why that number linked to JRG as a company name and not Western. The reason we chose them is prompt response, knowledgeable staff, and the Angies List score. The first treatment was thorough. The tech explained what type of ants we had a problem with, what they seek out, and what they would do as well as what we could do to help control the ants. He applied on the exterior a foundation liquid barrier and pellets in the lawn to make a barrier approaching the house. Where I pointed out streams of ants entering he spot treated with a gel. Inside, surprisingly, he did not leave tons of things. I thought no way would it work. He left gels in cracks, sticky things on pipes (to show evidence of activity), a mouse bait in the garage (although no known activity), not much more that I can remember. After he left, I thought, geeze I could have done that, why did my stuff not work, this wont either. Well, after a few days activity increased. The chemicals were blood thinners, it made the ants seek out water, making them appear. He said that might happen. I was compelled to call them back but they said they could not reapply within a week, so I had to wait until after a vacation. I was not convinced anything would work. Upon returning after having been gone more than a week we found our home with thousands of dead ants in piles. totally gross. There was also some food that had been left uncovered which ants were streaming to. we called JRG immediately, they replied quickly and reapplied in similar fashion to the initial. We cleaned everything up, sweeping up literally thousands of dead ants. I also sealed every baseboard molding to cover any potential cracks (suggested by JRG on initial visit). After that visit we virtually never saw another ant in the year that followed. Considering how bad it was, and the piles of dead ants, I have been totally impressed and satisfied with the plan. At one point we had a wasp nest in dirt, they took care of that quickly. Wasps in rafters also taken care of. No other pest problems of any kind since the second initial treatment. In the year that followed we got two follow up treatments, neither left as much in the house (chemicals) and that is good. Pests are gone. In one case I got a call from their billing dept. They forgot to charge the initial charge price vs follow up, so the requested an additional $12 to fix that. Although I thought that was odd, it was true and I allowed the charge. It was minor and handled professionally. (reason for B score on professionalism, I would have expected a minor billing error to have been absorbed) The two follow up visits were scheduled automatically (post card), one I changed by a quick phone call. All techs were professional, well dressed, respectful of being in your home. Overall I am very satisfied with the annual plan. They totally took care of every pest problem I had. I do not know why I could not get it, but they did (they claimed professional chemicals are more effective than Home Depot chemicals), I doubted that claim until I saw the results. http://www.jrgpest.com/
Description of Work: Annual contract for pest removal/control. We've had all three of the services rendered and can evaluate the full annual contract. Initial problem was primarily ant infestetaion.

Western Pest Service provides good quality work for the price of the service. They come when they say they're coming and assess any potential problems there might be with my home. I like that if I have a problem with any bugs or other rodents they will take care of that also. I am very pleased with their work.

When calling for the estimate they were very detailed, thorough, and answered every question. Their rates were competitive. The first time they came out, the exterminator was very friendy, on time, and explained what he was going to do. We needed them to come out again for another intermediate service and per the contract that was free. Exterminator was on time again. No complaints so far. Would recommend them.

They cover all the animals except the squirrels. They are very responsive. They try to make it convenient to come by. They have been very good. I am not thinking of another pest control service company. I like the person who comes out. Their service has been great. We called them for a specific problem and they solved the problem. So we took a contract out with them and they have been great. I shopped for price before going with them. They were competitive.
