I noticed some termites on a Saturday morning and called them right away. They had a truck at my house within 30 minutes which was amazing. Set up bait stations inside and out. Gave me the Angie's list price. Service tech was very nice, informative, helpful. I would easily recommend them and/or use them again.

Response from Knockout Pest Control
Thank you for your Angie’s List review. Your comments and suggestions for our improved service are very important to us. In addition, other Angie’s List clients also read your reviews and in part their selection of a service provider is based on your comments and ratings. Your comments do not reflect any deficiency in our service. Therefore I request that you reconsider your C review and upgrade us to an A. If you do have suggestions for our improvement, please share them with me. Thank you. It was not poor service that required service again this year. We have no control when carpenter bees attack your home. Arthur Katz, Owner akatz@knockoutpest.com

After having a termite swarm in our crawl space, we got some estimates for the Sentricon system and it was easy to decide to go with Knockout. We had a great experience with Knockout and used an Angie's List promotional to get an excellent discount too. With that discount, the price ended up being almost half of what another company gave us an estimate for. Jim did our installation and was an overall great guy who explained everything courteously and made sure that not only our house was covered by the bait system, but also our garage and woodpile as well. He did an excellent job finding places to bury them when it was a bit challenging (such as by our concrete driveway.) We appreciated the professionalism of him and also the customer service rep Fred who we originally talked with to set up our appointment.

Thank you for your review. We treated the entire exterior of your home. When it came time to treat the inside, you told our technician that you did NOT want liquids. We used baits and gels on the inside. Your review confused me. You claim we did not use enough liquids yet you told our technician you did not want them. Well, anyway, thanks for your business.

It went well, I have two children and there was no need for worry. The exterminator was curious and professional. He was very informative regarding the product being used. It has been over three months and there has been no signs of roaches.
Description of Work: The provider analyzed the situation and determined what were the best solution. Fumigated between all the appliances and placed bait in all cabinets. Also baited around all the electrical outlets and floorboards.

They offered a $99 ant treatment. However that is a one time treatment ..no guarantees. So I bought the 249 package which guarantees extra treatments for the next 30 days if ants return. I had a bad ants problem with .the tiny sugar ants coming into the bathroom. They were good to there word, and returned 2 more times and treated for ants. They were nice and professional and used different chemicals because they did not want to come back again. I think all the ant companies have the same chemicals... baits gels and granules. They provided me with all the paper work for the chemicals. Unfortunately after the 30 days I still had ants... but much fewer. They did manage to kill several ants nests, but probably did not find all of them. So they get a grade of B.

The punctuality, responsiveness, and technician's attitude were perfect. The price was fair, but when a mouse was found about a week after the warranty period had expired (can't remember if 30 days or 6 weeks), Knockout balked at returning for free. This, despite that the service includes free comebacks as needed during the warranty period, which they didn't need to perform. Their customer service offered a $75 price to redo the mouse service in lieu of a full $175 again, and recommended that I purchase a yearly membership. They also gave me a take it or leave it answer for the $75 deal that would expire within a couple of hours (deadline was end of day and I had called in the afternoon). I decided to check for new openings myself because there was no need to get new bait! In my mind, the technician missed an entry point, and the mouse was not found on time but could have been there before the warranty expired. Last summer, i wasn't happy with the bee service, either, because I had to call them 3 times to treat for bees over and over because there was indeed a beehive that they never saw (my carpenter eventually found it), and they had charged me the costly service because there was no beehive (cheaper service to exterminate if there is a beehive than not). In short, I am not comfortable using this company again based on 2 consecutive bad experiences with the pricing strategies, and lower quality service.
Description of Work: Mouse extermination, i.e. locate entry points and place baits, but excludes plugging the holes.

Response from Knockout Pest Control
Thank you for your review. Our records show that your initial mouse service was performed on December 15, 2015. Your first call for a retreatment was on January 27, 2016, 15 days after the initial service. You are correct when you report we offered you a discount well past the date of your service contract. Most clients call us when they have an idea where the bees are coming into their home. On our initial visit we could not find the bees nest after a thorough inspection although we spent one hour at your home. We returned at your request on two more visits spending about one hour each visit working to eliminate the problem. We do not magic and at times more than one visit is necessary. The good news is you hired a company that did and will stand behind our contracts. Arthur Katz, Founder akatz@knockoutpest.com

They showed up and sprayed something. The bees never went away. It didn't knock out the pests as we were hoping. It may require several sprays. There was a noticeable change though. They came when they said they would. They charged what they said they would.

Thank you for your review. We performed this work 9 months ago. We would have no idea that you had a problem since we did not hear from until two weeks ago. Nine months after service you did not call us, you called Angie’s list, told them the service was not done and requested a refund. We provided A L with your signed contract, they and subsequently you agreed. I do not think a reasonable person would expect a refund when they never informed the service provider they were unhappy and then expect a refund 9 months later. In the future I suggest if you are unhappy with a provider’s service let them know when they still have the opportunity to help you. Arthur Katz, Owner akatz@knockoutpest.com

This was a $99 big deal purchase. They came, everything was finished and it was okay. They called me to schedule the service and they came out within a week after I bought the service. The service was good. I think I like them. My interaction was nothing really special. This was the first time I used them. They did the work pretty quickly, like within 8-10 minutes and my house is pretty big. To get a better grade I think they may explain a little bit. We tried to do the service just to prevent. I think the time they were here was too short. I did not even realize they were done.

It's two weeks later and the roaches are back. Look I tried to 99 dollar special as an introduction to a good exterminating company that I could use in the future. It was a mistake, there are no guarantees and no coming back...to see how it worked. It did not. I was not looking to pay that all the time but to find an exterminating company that I could rely on. This was not it. He spent maybe all of 10 minutes, meanwhile I emptied out my kitchen and bathroom (lot of work). My advice is "Dont do the special if you are not going to do the job." I am now going to look for another exterminator. I am going to try Angie's List one more time and see.
