It went great and took short time checking my place (its one bedroom, so not surprised by the short time it took) and confirmed I didn't have bed bugs. Oh well.

My mice problem was eliminated by Knockout. I would strongly recommend their services to anyone in need of an excellent exterminator.
Description of Work: The provider went into my attic and placed bait traps to address my mice problem. Three weeks later and at no additional cost, they returned to check the traps. They found two dear mice and set more traps. My problem was solved. I found Knockout's employee to be highly professional, courteous, and punctual.

It went great. Two gentlemen came--they were tidy, thorough and nice. They laid traps and put mice boxes with poison. They walked around the outside of the house and showed me where to put steel wool around a couple pipes that had gaps around them leading into the house. Hopefully problem solved!
Description of Work: They came the same day to take care of mice!

I'd give them the highest grade, but the results weren't quick. Even now, I'm still worried, even though I haven't seen a mouse in about a week. The problem was they never attacked the problem from the outside. They did everything inside fine, but how did the mice get in? They never really approached that problem at all. It was weird. The mice started coming back again because we didn't know where they came in and they didn't even try to find out where they came in. They did show me two openings in the outside of the house as a possibility for where they came in. I thought they should have a complete plan and a method of closing the outside also. Otherwise, they were very nice guys and very good. He helped me with the roaches also and did a very good job with the roaches. He came back a second time for the roaches as well and I haven't had any roaches since. He does a very nice job. I watched what he was doing. It's clean.
Description of Work: I purchased a Big Deal to get some mouse control services. They also helped me with roaches.

Response from Knockout Pest Control
Thank you for your purchase. I know all our clients want magic. They want the pests to disappear “quick”. This is a relative term. Our products do work fast but must be giving time to work. The mice do not eat our products as soon as we put them down. They may not trust the food a first. Over a few hours or days they will consume it. Then it may take a few days to do its job. We suggest a patience period of 14 days from our first visit to judge if our process is working. Remember if you have an infection and take an anti-biotic it will take days for the medication to do its job. You may want the infection to go away within a day but that is not a realistic expectation. We are real good at what we do. Give it time. Arthur Katz, Owner aktaz@knockoutpest.com

They came to the apartment and after inspecting realized that our problem is squirrels which is something a specialized company handles and they don't. The technician was very polite and courteous he wore shoe covers in the apartment and overall was very pleasant to deal with.

Should we need to, we will use Knockout in the future.
Description of Work: As it turned out, we did not need the services of Knockout, and that was a relief. The man who came could not have been nicer nor more informative, and, of course, we appreciated the fact that we were not pushed to do work that was unnecessary. Now how often does that happen? Thank you, Knockout!

The service was professional but also personal from initial contact to the actual service itself. The people in the office were sympathetic and very helpful in describing the variety of services that were available and in helping me choose the best service for my situation. The professionals that were sent to my home were courteous and efficient and I felt confident in their ability to rid my home of bed bugs. After the canine inspection we wanted to modify the original contract to fit the situation and Knockout was willing to help us and provide only the services that we needed. Having bed bugs is as much a psychological as a physical problem and Knockout was able to calm us down and assure us that we had chosen the correct people to eliminate our problem.
Description of Work: Knockout Pest Control provided a canine inspection and bed bug treatment.

Thank you for your purchase. I am not clear why we did not get an A rating. We arrived on the day you chose. Our appointment was between 3 and 5 and we arrived at 4:15 spending over 40 minutes treating your home. You did not indicate any particular issue. You requested a preventative service for crawling insects. We placed bait around the outside perimeter of your home. We treated all rooms of your home. We replaced monitoring stations in the boiler room and garage. The $99.00 deal you purchased does not include follow up services. Our goal in offering this highly discounted service is to introduce you to our company and our high quality service. Our technicians are encouraged in a mildly encouraging way to inform you of other services we offer. If you thought this was an “up sell” we apologize. Our goal is to have you a customer for life. Please reconsider your poor rating. Thank you. Arthur Katz Owner aktaz@knockoutpest.com

I feel the vendor should provide some kind of follow up service. The impression I got was that there was guarantee that the extermination would complete (and in this case, there were some straggling, up to 20, additional insects that had to be subsequently killed, though likely 90% of them were killed in the nest. I was close to having to call them back for a follow up, but after killing the 20 or so after the extermination, there were none spotted afterwards and I reconfirmed this past weekend on 11/6/2015. They came on time, prepared to do battle and did the job.
Description of Work: Exterminator eliminated a nest of yellow jackets that had borrowed inside the side of the house. He was successful at killing the entire next although after he left a number of them still infiltrated into my house and had to be subsequently killed via a spray can. Ultimately, the insects were killed in their entirety.

Thank you for your purchase and review. I am gratified to learn our service completely eliminate your bee infestation. It is important to note that it could take up to 10 days for the products we use to interact with the insects for the desired results to occur. Our products and service performed just the way we intended and gave you the results you paid for. Arthur Katz Owner akatz@knockoutpest.com

This review is not about their quality of service as much as their lack of customer service. Did they kill bugs? Yes. Did they spray something on my house that stained the siding? Yes. Did they do anything other than say that the stains should come off with soap and water? NO! I've power-washed my house twice since this happened last year and the stains persist. Knockout has done NOTHING otherwise. No offer to have my house professionally cleaned. They state that what the technician applied should not have stained the house. Clearly either the technician didn't use the correct item and is lying to Knockout or Knockout is lying to me. I sent pictures shortly after the incident and they were basically unresponsive with their suggestion of soap and water. My siding is ruined and Knockout has basically not stood behind their customer service or lived up to their mistakes.
Description of Work: We hired them for their quarterly maintenance program.

I'm sure theyWe have mice and I paid 500$ for a one year contract assuming that this money would go towards getting rid of the mice. The agent who came to our house placed traps and baits around the house but made it clear that the real battle is sealing all the holes in the house, which they dont do. For that job you need a mouse-proofer. So you're better off buying traps and baits online and spending your money on a mouse-proofer who will come seal all the holes and crevices where they get in. Or doing that yourself. In other words, I'm sure they knew it was a waste of money.

Thank you for your review and purchase. Our service will eliminate the mice in your home. You must have miss-read our offer posted on Angie’s List. We do not provide construction work to seal holes. Please re-read the offering where we state we will inspect and advise you of openings that we can see: Here's the Deal: • Full inspection of your home to find rodent entryways • Deal includes placement of bait boxes (up to 12) in entry points • Deal includes the poison ready for the bait boxes--advising on interior rodent-proofing prevention such as food and trash placement • Deal includes a 30 day service agreement (free visit should mice return within 4 weeks) If you have any questions, please contact me.
