They came out and treated for small ants. Service provider was very pleasant and punctual. I called them about 2 weeks later to say that I still had small ants on my deck. They set an appointment and came back to treat again.

As promised, the exterminator arrived at the prearranged time and treated several locations that were in close proximity. He made sure to explain how the powder would work and how long it would take; the results were exactly as described. He also cautioned that weather might affect how long the treatment would last. In areas that were undercover, the powder would continue to remain effective. In areas exposed to rain, the powder would be washed away, and indeed, that is what happened. Several days later, heavy rains washed the powder out of the gutter and the hornets have returned to that site. They have not returned to the other, more sheltered sites.
Description of Work: Sprayed to eliminate hornets.

It went well. They seemed very good. There was not a problem offering to come back. They even said they probably would have to come back but ended up not having to come back. So it all went very well.

Well for starters, after leaving a voice message, I received a phone call back within 5 minutes or less. I spoke to a gentleman by the name of Larry who took the time to explain my options and around what it might cost for his services. He was more then happy to apply a Veterans discount (my hats off to him). Larry called the next morning to confirm all details and his Technician was spot on time... I was greeted by Jeff, the Technician that was assigned to my call. Jeff was very knowledgeable, courteous, and more then willing to explain step by step what he was doing and what to expect. After all was said and done, ( about an hour later) I received a follow up call from Larry's Son, asking how things went. I told him I could not be happier. I highly recommend Bug Runner hands down.

Doug was very helpful and responsive to my initial questions and shared with me all the info I needed to make an informed decision on the treatment. Technician was punctual and very professional. After the treatment, Doug continued to be very responsive in some follow-up questions I had. Overall a positive experience and I would use again if I have a problem in the future.

Bug Runner was professional and did a very thorough job. I have had carpenter ants appearing in many of our dowstairs and upstairs rooms in the house over the last few years - this is the first time I hired an exterminator. I have not seen any ants since the treatment! I am very pleased. I asked the agent to climb into the garage attic and spray the perimiter - he was happy to do so without additional charge.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. It was great. I contacted them to schedule the date. The treatment went fine. I am definitely going to call them to have them come out one more time for a return treatment. The guy thet actually came was very informative. He really seemed to know what he was doing so I was happy with that.

During a home inspection, we were told that there was evidence of carpenter ants that needed to be addressed. Bug Runner sent out one of their guys out for a consultation and treatment that normally costs $275. He took a look and said in his professional opinion he saw no evidence of carpenter ants, and that our home inspector was likely overzealous (or covering his a**). He called the main office to ask what to do, and Bug Runner didn't even charge us for the service call. Given the home inspection report, they could easily have sold me on a yearly service plan and I would have bought it. I also would have understood if they needed to be paid a portion of the fee for showing up. But they did neither of these things. That kind of honesty and integrity is hard to come by. Service call was scheduled for "after 3pm," he showed just after 4:30.

I called Bug Runner on Tuesday, and the exterminator was here on Wednesday. He showed up on time, and quickly went about his business. I couldn't ask for better customer service. Now I know who to call in the future! Thanks, Bug Runner!

The exterminator spoke with my husband for about 5 minutes, expected the areas with the bees and hornets, told my husband what he was going to do to get rid of the insects, donned his bug-proof suit, squeezed powder from a plastic bottle up behind the vinyl siding on the house, talked with my husband some more, accepted a check, then left.

The man came and sprayed the nest. WE were told to stay in the house for 1-2 hrs in case the yellow jackets became angry .
Description of Work: Had infestation of yellow jackets. Someone came out the day I called and was polite and professional. The job only took approx. 10 min. It completely took care of the problem. I had called someone else first and they were MUCH more expensive and I would have had to wait an extra day.

We still have wasps. We sprayed ourselves. They would come over and look not very carefully for nests and didn't even spray anything most of the time. They even had someone come to our house who is not able to look for nests higher then 8 feet even though we told them the wasps were congregating on the roof. We kept calling and they told us that it was a bad season for wasps. Well then I don't understand what we payed all that money for if they couldn't take care of the problem. I honestly feel like I threw away $500. I would recommend that you try a different exterminator. They were pretty pointless.
Description of Work: We had wasps in the back of our house so we hired them to exterminate the wasps and also spray monthly for 6 months.

Response from Bug Runner
I am sorry that you were not pleased with our service. We take customer service extremely serious here at Bug Runner. We are a locally owned family operated business and the owner is only a phone call away if one is unhappy with our service. We ALWAYS come back if there is an issue at no cost. Unfortunately there are times when wasps congregate at a roof to be at an area with the strongest sun and also to drink water from the gutters. If there is no target nest for the technician to spray it does present some challenges from time to time. Usually we can spot a nest but there are a few circumstances when they are just swarming to get some sun and water and not nesting. We are an environmentally conscience company and will not spray chemical if we know it will not solve the problem. If there was a nest in the area we would have been able to treat it immediately. I feel this was an isolated incident and if one uses our services they will see how seriously we take our business. Hopefully we can make it up to you in the future. Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry for your displeasure with this particular incident. -Doug -Doug
