The man came and was able to get on roof of porch through a bedroom window and then with a ladder was able to reach the nest (which, luckily was empty) and then removed the nest and sprayed the surface of the eave with something to prevent any further building of a nest. This was done in approximately an hour.

Dead bees began to fall on the walkway in front of the house so I guess the treatment was successful. I have not seen any wasps in the house since the treatment. Technician was very professional and explained what he was going to do and the type of material he was using.

Frank, Knock-Out's representative, arrived at the time I requested which was early in the morning (8 am) due to my tight work schedule. He was very professional and knowledgeable. After doing all of the above mentioned work, he then made recommendations to me on why I was having an infestation problem and what I could do myself to remedy the situation in the future. He then left me with an annual contract proposal to read at my convenience. No pressure tactic to get me to sign while he was there. I've used local pest services in the past and Knock-Out's servicing was so much more thorough than any other company I've used.
Description of Work: Inspected all areas for infestation of ants & other unwanted outdoor insects. Sprayed all crevices, baseboards, unsealed gaps in flooring and placed ant bait traps in discreet, key locations. Sprayed entire base exterior of the home & placed granular poison throughout landscaping close to home foundation.

The person performing the job was very professional and knowledgeable. He indicated that if the issue continues to call the company and he will come back and spry again. Called the company and asked to send more traps in that way the technician don't not have to come back. They told me that was only one time visit and was guarantee only for 30 days , and If I need it more traps I had it to pay for. I indicated to them that I will never again use their services or recommend them . The reason a selected them was because the rating provided by your company. You advertised for $ 99.00 the final bill came up to $275.00

This insect is NOT included in the deal you purchased: “Excluded pests: fleas, ticks, bedbugs, rodents, wood-eating insects, or flying insects”. You agreed to pay the difference between the deal you purchased and the cost of this service. Please see our customer service notes: Tuesday, 06/09/2015 01:45 PM PWERNER GEN NOTE [ Edit ] customer called asking for more traps. found his contract and it is over the 30 days (treated 4/30).

I was extremely pleased. The technician was professional and courteous and when I asked him to break a large bill so I could give him a gratuity, he said that it wasn't necessary. He said if there was any re-occurrence within 30 days, that my payment would cover a second visit and that I could feel free to ask for him. He was a pleasure to meet and work with. My first experience with Angie's list was extremely positive.

I found knockout from Angie list and used it for termite inspection when we purchased our house about year and half ago. I found their service excellent like most of review says. As a result, I called them again this time when we are having pest issues. 0n 5/21, the technician came on time,he was great and knowledgable. He explained the issues and recommended the treatment. I told him that I would like to sign up for $450 general pest control year contract and Sentricon system for termite. However, I found the price he provided was much more than I anticipated since I had contract with them up until December 2014 and someone from Knockout called me to offer the system for around $500 before the contract ended. The technician called the office explained the situation and they agreed to offer it for $700 which I still wasn't comfortable with it because it was a lot of more than what was offered to me a few month ago, besides I wanted to get a second opinion in the price as well as to research to see if the system actual work. As a result, I tip the technician and told him that I need time to research and declined the service. A week later, I've done my research and decided to go with Knockout so I called them for both general contract and Sentricon. To my disbelief they told me now the price is $850 and $700 was for that day only. I have never see any reputable company switch prices on the customers like Knockout did so if you planning to use their service make sure you have it in writing. Updated on 6/4/2015 I called after read Arthur Katz, the owner's response on Angie's list and talked with Dee who was very pleasant and helpful. She didn't hesitate to honor the lowest price Arthur promised and an appointment has been scheduled for Sentricon system next week. In addition, Dee wasn't pushy and actual advised me to hold on of purchasing $450 year contract when I described to her that I wasn't sure if we had carpet bee since it wouldn't be covered under the yearly contract, that I should speak to the technician on the Sentricon installation date to determine the right options. I truly appreciated her honesty as well as impressed with the fact Arthur actually takes his time, read and responded to my concerns. Needless to say, I'm updating the rating. Thank you Dee & Arthur!

Response from Knockout Pest Control
Thank you for your review. On August 7, 2013 we provided a pre-purchase inspection for your home and found no active termites at the time of inspection. The inspection fee we $95.00. Knockout unlike our competitors provides a one year service contract at no additional charge as a guarantee of our opinion. If termites were to appear you would receive the Sentricon System for free. It is rare that any professional would provide a one year no charge guarantee on their opinion. We do! The Sentricon System typically sells for $1275.00 and up depending upon the size of the house. You are correct; we offered this upgrade to you prior to the expiration of your contract for the discounted price of $500.00 plus tax. Your contract expired on August 6, 2014. Again you are correct; on May 21, 2015 we came to your house and offered you the discounted price of $850.00 plus tax. (This is an Angie’s List deal posted on the Angie’s List web site.) I am sorry if you feel we changed our offer. In fact we did. Like many companies we at times have special time limited inside deals for our current customers. Because you are an Angie’s List client we will extend the best offer to you for the next 90 days. Arthur Katz, President akatz@knockoutpest.com

The treatment worked for about 10 days, then the ants were back. The provider was professional, prompt and accomodating to our children and pets. The only problem is the treatment didn't work as long as I had thought it would.

We were extremely satisfied with Knockout Pest Control! They were very prompt to respond to our inquiry, quick to make an appointment, and were there the next day! Our exterminator was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. While treating the home, we were given tips how to keep the ants out. This meant a lot to us because it shows they care and were not looking to come back and treat again. Would highly recommend.

Michael the technician arrived and asked if there were any specific problems. I informed him that ants were my main complaint. He pointed out areas where they were traveling along the foundation of the house and conducted a full inspection. I informed him that I was only interested in an outdoor treatment at this time. The outdoor perimeter was sprayed and granular bait was applied in my flower beds along the foundation of the house. Michael also pointed out an ant colony along a front path and spray and bait were applied there as well. Michael was polite, courteous, knowledgeable and very professional. I have hired this company in the past and would not hesitate to recommend them to others or to hire them again!!!!!
