Our job was completed on time, with total removal of the colony. Service was proffessional and included inspection of interior locations for possible infestations inside the house. Once again, very professional experience.
Description of Work: Barry, the owner of the company (a family run business) came to our house at almost the exact time stated. He was very professional, spending more time than we expected making sure our yellow jacket colony was eradicated. The nest was located under our handicap ramp between a header board and our siding. This location made it impossible for me to do the job. Since the ramp makes the front door accessible and is also the door used by our grandchildren and other visitors, I did not want to take the chance that anyone would disturb the nest. Barry was very honest and told me that if we waited, the winter would kill the yellow jackets off and they would not return next year. This alone speaks highly for this family business in that they were willing to sacrifice a sale. I am highly recommending Home Town Pest Management and will call them for the help in future as needed.

I discovered that yellow jackets had built a nest far underneath my house. The area was further blocked by a deck so it was it was not possible to safely and affectively spray the nest myself. After reviewing Angie's List, I called Home Town Pest Management. My call was promptly answered, the nature of the problem was explained, and an appointment was scheduled. The representative from Home Town Pest arrived exactly on time. He assessed the situation and quickly and professionally resolved the problem. It has been 5 days and I have seen no further yellow jacket activity. He provided paperwork on the chemicals used along with a two month warranty. Based on my experience, I would happily recommend him to others.

It went very well. He was professional (gave us papers on the chemicals used), careful about not tracking anything into the house and very pleasant to deal with.
Description of Work: Yellow jackets had taken up residence in the external part of the vent over the stove (and in the wall beneath it). They were getting into the house, too. Barry Booke arrived early (after calling to verify if it was OK) and dispatched the colony. He was careful to secure plastic under the vent inside the house to prevent fumes and angry yellow jackets from coming in. He explained the process and the timing for complete eradication.

Everything from initial call to the service completed, just now, went very well. He called back right away on a weekend morning and scheduled the first available appointment, arrived on schedule and was highly professional in the work. I definitely would use him again.

Excellent. I hope I don't have to go through this again but if I do I won't hesitate to use hometown pest management again.
Description of Work: I had a serious ant problem that I couldn't fix myself. The owner of the company came to my house and was able to get rid of the ants by using several different products to ensure the ants would be gone for good. He guaranteed his work for 4 months. He used products that wouldn't hurt my cat. He was very thorough and I am a person who pays attention to detail. He applied products that would work instantly and products that would have a residual affect. They were applied inside and outside on all three levels of my home and outside on the ground level and up high with a ladder.

I wanted to use a local company and so I went with Home Town Pest Management. Barry came out at the agreed time and inspected my home. Turns out it wasn't carpenter ants and he told that store bought products would eliminate my problem of the black ants getting into my window. He spent 30 min or so checking out my property and answering all my questions and concerns. I couldn't have asked for more. Barry and his wife were very professional and I would recommend this company.

It went very well. No problem whatsover. He was a very friendly guy and very informative as well.
Description of Work: We had carpenter bees in our back yard. I called the company, he called back a couple hours later, arranged a time and day to be here, explained that he would give us a two month warranty and give us a 10% discount for using Angie's List. He showed up exactly when he said he would, took care of the problem and we haven't had them back yet.

My wife and I discovered some mouse droppings in our kitchen. I called Barry and he showed up the next morning. Barry was very friendly and professional. He took his time looking around to find out just how big of a problem we have. He placed baits in the basement, attic, and kitchen. After he was done with the inside he walked around the house plugging any opening he found with a copper mesh. It's been almost two weeks and we haven't seen any signs of the mouse since then (as promised). Thanks Barry, it was great dealing with you.
Description of Work: Inspected the house for rodents, placed baits, and walked around the home plugging any visible spots that mice could come in from.

I knew from a recent home inspection that there were mice in my attic and basement. As the weather got colder, I heard an increase in the pitter-patter of little feet in the attic, and I knew it was time to call someone to get rid of the mice. I chose Home Town Pest Mgmt based on Angie's List reviews. Barry was able to fit me in quickly; he came out the next day. Barry was on time, professional, and friendly. He explained the type of bait he was using and told me that I could expect results within 7-10 days. He also answered questions about the mouse traps that I had bought on my own. He used approximately 12 bait containers throughout the basement and attic. Then, he inserted copper mesh in several openings at the exterior corners of the house and inside the garage to plug possible entry ways. Barry was much more thorough than I expected! I mentioned the 10% Angie's List coupon during my initial phone call, and I didn't have to remind him to apply it to the bill when he was done. As Barry said, the noise in the attic stopped in about a week. I couldn't be more pleased!!

I found them through Angie’s list. They did a spectacular job. The man was very personable and did a very nice job. He eliminated the problem inexpensively and efficiently. I can’t say enough good things about them. What they did was effective. Their pricing was very good. He was very prompt, friendly, and efficient.

Barry answered his own phone, which I really like. I explained the problem and he gave me an estimate over the phone. We scheduled an appointment for several days later. He was prompt, courteous, and meticulous in picking up any and all debris. He carefully explained what he was doing to get rid of the carpenter ants, and encouraged me to call should I see any evidence of their reappearance. He told me that he guarantees his work for four months, and he also took the 10% off Angie's List coupon. All in all, I was extremely satisfied with his work, and would not hesitate to call upon him again. Thanks, Angie's List!

Home Town Pest was absolutely fantastic. Response time was great. Barry showed up on time, the price was great and friendly. I have used other pest control companies in the past, but this was the best experience I have had. If I have any pest problems in the future I will call them. I highly recommend them.

Barry provided an estimate over the phone based on the information I provided. When he arrived he confirmed the price. Arrived as scheduled, clearly explained what he would do, answered all my questions, and worked professionally. I had gotten three estimates, and Barry's price was half the cost of one of the other estimates. I was very pleased with his service, manner, and price. When I need service again I will call him again.

I called Hometown and an appointment was set up quickly. Barry would have come on a Saturday, but we waited until Monday. He arrived on time, examined the house and rotted wood and found no reason to treat the house. He spent at least 30-40 minutes explaining what to look for and educating me on carpenter ants. He refused any payment and displayed a very high degree of integrity in not taking advantage of a anxious customer. Highly recommended
Description of Work: I was having repairs done to my wood siding due to water damage causing extensive rot. The workers noticed ants and channels in the wood that was pulled out to be replaced. They suggested to call in an exterminator to access the problems.

We were beginning to have quite a big mouse problem in the basement, attic, and even inside the house! (I spent 2 nights catching one that was running around in the living room to let loose outside) I called and spoke with the owner, and was very favorably impressed with both the reviews of his work and his professionalism and knowledge. He was extremely helpful on the phone, and gave me accurate information. Based on all of this, we decided to hire this company to handle our pest control needs. He was able to schedule us the same week, and came exactly on time. He thoroughly checked the entire house, basement, attached garage, fireplace, and attic, and set plenty of baits in all appropriate places. He also gave me an idea of how to make the attached garage more 'mouse-proof', and checked an outside wall hole to confirm that it was not, in this case, any kind of rodent or pest drilled. He also took the time, at my request, to check around the outside of the entire house, to tell us whether we needed to have any type of repair work done to help prevent more mice problems. His manner was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. We have had no further issues with mice, just as he told us. He also honored his advertised Angie's List discount coupon. We will definitely hire this company again in the future for all our pest control needs.

Overall I was completely satisfied and felt that Barry gave excellent value for his services. We also received a true "senior citizen discount" as he quoted the price before I asked about the discount. I gave an "A" for responsiveness even though I called on a Friday and he wasn't able to book an appointment until the following Thursday, because it was not an "emergency" situation and he's an independent businessman without a host of employees, so the response time was within reason. I like dealing with small businesses, particularly those which are owner operated because prices are often better, the owner is entirely invested in giving good service and also has the freedom to respond to any inquiry immediately and accurately, without the confusion of middlemen.
Description of Work: I discovered a huge infestation of carpenter ants in my mother's house. I immediately checked Angie's list for exterminators and called a large company who was more expensive than Home Town, but would have been able to arrive several days earlier. Though quick response was a significant concern of mine, since I was visiting and needed to fly home as soon as possible, I postponed my trip to wait for Home Town to do the job. Barry fielded several calls from me and patiently explained his entire approach before I made an appointment. I felt he would give me more personal service than the large company, and though I have no way to compare, I believe he did give excellent service. He used several different methods of eliminating the ants and discouraging them from returning. He spent over two hours at our home and appeared to do a very thorough job. If we still have a problem in two weeks, he'll return for no charge and the treatment is guaranteed for four months. He was perfectly punctual and professional and I enjoyed conversing with him. He's been in the business for 30 years and seemed quite knowledgeable and his rates are very reasonable. I would definitely use his services again (though I certainly hope that's not necessary!)
