They sold me a 6 month removal package. I didn’t know that it meant one nest of bees. When you kill one nest, they always start a new nest with the ones who were out. I have a new nest near the old one and they want me to pay more money to remove this one! Supervisor claimed I didn’t read the fine print!

Response from Absolute Pest Control
We apologize for any confusion, however at the time of sale we explained that this was a nest removal and has a 6 month warranty on the nest removed. If the customer had an issue in this same area, or in close proximity we would treat it at no charge. We treated and removed the nest which was in a tarp under the deck. The new nest area that the customer has in an eve area, not near the nest under the deck. The remaining wasps from the nest that was treated and removed do not go off and start a new nest. They become displaced and are unable to restart a new hive. At the time of the initial phone call, and when the technician came out we did explain we had other options for full house protection. The customer wanted the one area treated and did not wish to pay for whole house protection. We offer plans for yearly protection, which includes free trouble calls for the entire structure. The supervisor did not tell her to read the fine print. The customer did know we offered other options, and we are still willing to work with the customer if she would like to upgrade to a whole home protection, but this review contains multiple inaccuracies. We unfortunately cannot do single nest removal for the price of a full home protection plan

Went very well. On the day of my appointment, they called to to say they’d arrive in 10 minutes, just slightly behind schedule. That is no problem and understandable. Chris was very polite and thorough with explaining the procedure. It didn’t take long. He said to give it a week for the bees to be completely gone but to call if the bees got inside the following day. Yes, the next day about 10 bees did get inside my shed that is attached to the house. The yellow jackets were obviously dying, but I called because they got inside. The technician returned within a few hours of my call & “dusted” the interior of the shed. I had two different technicians on the two different days and they were both polite and the job was complete! The 6 month guarantee that comes with the price is worth it. They were able to return with no added charge.

It went as well as it could have. I first contacted this company for a second estimate (the first was a lot more, by about $100.00) on a Monday and I had an appointment scheduled for that Wednesday, two days later, between noon and 2 PM. The technician, Josh, called when he was about 15 minutes away, showing up around 1:30. He got right to work in removing it, and once the hornets had died, he broke it apart to show me the inside. (Even though it was a nest of stinging insects, I must admit that the intricate structure within was amazing. He took the time to explain how the hornets and hive fuctioned, which was really interesting - - he missed his true calling, in that he should have been an entomologist.) If I ever have the need for hive removal again, I would call Absolute Pest Control without a second thought, and have absolutely no reservations about recommending this company to friends!!!!! Overall, with the senior discount, I felt the price was very fair; I had checked on-line to get an idea of the average cost of nest removal, and this company’s pricing was well within reason. Plus, the nest had to be reached by ladder....

Overall, I highly recommend this company for any job. Josh there removed an inactive bald face hornets' nest on roof which is very difficult to climb. The price was cheaper than a top rated competitor. To me it was quite a story. My whole story about this job is as follows. I had a bald faced hornet's nest from last year (took a while to figure this out, a bee expert told me). I know it's inactive after a season. Basically, this hornet is very fierce and defends its nest bravely (same bee expert told me this too and confirmed it from google search). Normally, I would have no problem taking this inactive nest out of my house without a help, but this is on the roof, about 40 feet high. And to access the roof, for me, I need 32 feet ladder, since the front side access (which need shorter ladder like 16) is 95% covered with solar panel. I had to take this nest out and tried on my own. Tried pressure washer with extension from distance, but didn't work, so I called around. I actually searched for pest control in angie's list. And I called top rated one there and showed the pictures that I have taken (the height is the main issue). It wanted to charge $275 since it is up very high and told me that they can't remove it without marks. For this, they recommended to call pressure washer company. But pressure washer company didn't want to do the job, so I called back the pest control. They said again 275 but when I asked if I can use Angie's list coupon (15% for the first job), they told me that they can't help me, telling me something about solar panel wiring being difficult to handle. So I called next top rated one, which is Absolute Pest Control. I showed them the pictures, and told that you would need 32 ladder. I was told that it's going to be $175. A few days later, one guy showed up and he realized that he can't go up that high and he brought 24 ladder. So he went back and probably talked to others that it's going to need much more effort or longer ladder. Then I got a call that it can do the job for $250. I was fine with it, since I really wanted to get rid of it and still cheaper than the competitor. So, another guy came, and his name is Josh. He's much more fit and nimble. But he brought 24 ladder, so I was like, here we go again. Josh, however, didn't need 32 ladder to go up and is so nimble that, with a small passage (about 4 inches wide) toward to the top of the roof, he went up and did the job perfectly, without any mark. He said he does all the 'crappy' jobs and told me it was bald faced hornets' nest (which I knew) and bald faced hornets penetrates into protective gear (which again I knew), so he was also very knowledgeable on the issue. He was also very friendly to listen what I had to tell him and understand the situation quickly too. I feel good about its management too, although it had some mishap (the rep who got my call and pictures knew the job needed the long ladder, but send someone who doesn't have one), eventually it sends a right person for the job. Two times they visited me, they called me in advance when they would arrive, and a courtesy call to confirm the reservation too. Wish I can post some pictures.

That experience was very, very, very good. They explained everything. They were here immediately. I looked them up on Angie’s List, I called them and they were there like 2 days later. Not even maybe a day and a half later. The quality of work is very good, very excellent. Their prices were, I’d say competitive. Responsiveness - They were excellent. Punctuality – They were great. I thought they were a really good company.
Description of Work: We had spiders and all kinds of stuff in the back, because we have a dirt cellar, which is going to change. They took care of everything.

Hello [Member Name Removed], I took a moment to pull up your account and I do see that we went out to the property 3 separate times to treat for the pavement ants in May 2017. It does also look like you are still covered under your guarantee so if you are still seeing ant activity please give our office a call and we can set up a time to have our technician go back out to your property to reassess and treat the ant problem. Thank you, Nick
