It was refreshing to meet an honest provider.
Description of Work: I had a panicked call from a tenant who told me she saw termites in the basement of my property. I called Afederal. They set up an appointment, and arrived promptly. The inspector, checked the basement thoroughly, and advised that there was a clothing moth problem. He suggested a simple solution. No fee was charged. I will hire this honest company if and when the need arises. I am happy to recemmond them to others.

We had bought the house with an known prior termite infestation in 2013. The seller provided us with a current termite treatment contract by Afederal and we transferred the contract to our name. However after closing we discovered an active infestation and extensive damage, which the seller either concealed knowingly or was unaware of. We called Afederal who responded promptly and treated the ground in all the areas on the side of the house where activity was observed (by law, they are limited to this). They also sprayed any areas that we were able to expose that were found to have termite activity. We also paid a concrete mason to replace the sidewalk along the side of the house, which was cracked and not properly graded, allowing standing water to create an environment hospitable to termites. The following spring we began to see winged termites (swarmers) coming from the ceiling on the top floor near the front of the house. Again we called Afederal, and they responded promptly and treated the ground in the front and front-side of the house. We also had the roof checked by the roofing contractor to be sure that there were no leaks. We have not see any evidence of termite activity since. We are planning to keep my termite contract current.
Description of Work: Treated for termites in front and side of house under annual service contract (less than $200/year).

I would never use this company again. The technician showed up and sprayed down the two apartments. It took about 45 minutes and went very smoothly. I thought the cost was very reasonable. However--- three weeks later my new tenants called me and said they were seeing tons of bugs in the kitchen. The very next day I got a call from A Federal asking if I wanted to schedule a new treatment. I was surprised and assumed they'd called the wrong customer and told them they'd just treated my house three weeks ago. The guy informed me that they recommend a treatment every 3-4 weeks. I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life. This morning, 5 days later my second tenant who had been living in the unit for almost two years said that every since the treatment they've been seeing tons of bugs where before they had seen 1-2 over the whole time there. The idea that a pest control service can cause more bugs is ludicrous. And they obviously know it because they're trying to ensure that their services are used every 3-4 weeks. Previous to this I have had preventative pest control come in once every 6-8 months with absolutely no problem.

We do sincerely apologize for the service given. It is routine for us to call a customer 3-4 weeks after service to follow up to see if you'd like to set up another appointment. However, if you're having a problem before that, we always suggest to call the office so that we can send another technician out right away. Sometimes when servicing an apartment/home, it is possible for a nest to be sprayed causing them to come out more. We'd be more than happy to offer you another service at no cost to ensure that we take care of your problem.

It was not very good. The guy who came in sprayed the stuff all over the floor. It was so much spray that I didn't know whether I was going to be safe. They showed me that it was fine but I thought that was weird. It did get rid of the ants but I was worried about my health for a while. I was not impressed with the service that I got.
Description of Work: They took care of the ant problem.

We do sincerely apologize for the dissatisfaction in service that you received. The chemicals we use are considered "green" products as they are made from plants (pyrethrum) and give off a very low odor if any at all. Therefore, they are not hazardous to your health. We would love to be given the chance to make you happy so we ask to please call the office as soon as you get the opportunity. Regards, Janine Afederal Exterminating

Initially, we hired them for a termite inspection ($85). During this inspection we were informed that we've had carpenter ants. Although we knew we had an ant problem, we never understood that it included carpenter ants. We decided to use them to treat the house. The initial treatment was $175 with three follow-up treatments, one per month at $50 each. In the past we've had numerous ants in the kitchen, bathroom and sometimes the living room. After the first treatment, one month ago, we've noticed a significant difference. We've only spotted two ants since that treatment. Unfortunately, we had the second treatment this morning and it is currently raining, so I hope that won't be a problem. We didn't shop to find out if the price was the best, but we've liked the people.
Description of Work: Monthly treatment for ants, specifically carpenter ants.

The time of service we were given was 2-4 PM. Out the exterminator did not show up till almost 5PM. When he did performed his duties as instructed and also provided us with pest control glove traps to lay around the house.
Description of Work: As exterminator came to my home and used a solution called Cynn to spray all around the perimeter (as suggested) of each room in my apartment, as well as closets, radiators and any space we asked for.

Afederal was professional in their quick response. A date was arranged with a window of 9am to 11am. At 9am, the bell rang and the worker asked where he was to start. He finished the work quickly and asked if I wanted him to treat any other part of the house. He did a good job and I was finished much earlier than I had planned to be.

I am so please with AFederal. They are responsive. onetime and aim to please. I love the communication and attention to detail. We have hired them to be our ongoing exterminator for the building. This is just one thing off my checklist that I don't have to obsess about monthly. There fees are reasonable as well. They put up signs in the building to let the tenants know when they are coming to gain the most value of their visit. Nice touch! Thank You!

They came when promised. They did not pressure me to sign any contract or any need to return. I bought the coupon for a service call from Angie's List and that's all I paid. I had seen several water bugs and therefore called them. After they sprayed, I found a few dead bugs and nothing since then.

The gentleman that came was very polite, neat, clean and professional, and he took his time. He used gel in areas he couldn't spray, and bait traps where he could not use gel. He made sure that I was satisfied before he left. The company provided a second visit, which also went very well. The second fellow was just as nice as the last one. As of this date, I believe I am pretty much bug free!
Description of Work: I want to thank A -federal for being honorable. They provided me with two follow up visits to compensate me for the poor service of one of their techs.
