I am very satisfied with their work. I think he is reliable, and he seems to be very truthful and very pleasant when you are talking to him. He knows his business. I would definitely use them again, I will be calling them this spring. He might be a little expensive, but he is worth it for his work because he guarantees it and he follows through if there is any problem. I have never had any problems. They are quick.
Description of Work: They did work for me last year, and I will probably be calling them this year too. 2 years ago we had them spray for ants and wasps, and I did the same thing last year. They do it early spring, and there is a couple applications for the ants. I live right against a wooded lot, and so we have trouble with ants, and we have a lot of wasp bee things and my husband is allergic to them so I try and keep them away as much as possible.

Excellent! We called after 5 on a Tuesday and Doug was helpful, courteous and offered to have an exterminator come first thing the next day. We settled on an appointment time window between 3 and 5pm on Wednesday. Dennis came just before 4:30 and was polite, knowledgable and efficient. He explained what he was doing and how long it would take to work. He said that if we have any issues in the future to let them know and they will come out and work the problem free of charge. We are under a guarantee for 6-12 months with this service. Very satisfied!
Description of Work: Put down traps and gel to attract and poison our ant problem.

The first treatment was done on 6/26/2015. I was told to allow three weeks for the problem to be resolved. After the three weeks were up I was still seeing a few ants in the kitchen, first floor bathroom and basement. I called them back and they responded a second time to treat again at no additional cost. It has been three days since the second treatment and so far no sign of ants. The Bug Killer was very courteous and responsive to my calls.
Description of Work: Treat my home for small brown and medium black ants.
