I talked to Dee. She was very helpful and informative. Helped me make the right choice of how to proceed in getting rid of bed bugs. First suggested that I have a specially trained dog come in to find out exactly where the bugs are. Fortunately the infestation was confined to just one bedroom (had recently gotten a new mattress !). I decided to go with the one time only HEAT treatment. Portable heater/fans are brought in to heat the ambient air temperature of the room to @ 130 degrees for over 2 hours (the bugs and eggs are literally dried up!). In addition they also applied a bed bud residual chemical treatment to all rooms. Saf, the exterminating technician, arrived exactly on time (7 a.m.) and was very friendly, polite and professional. He was very knowledgeable and well trained. He clearly explained what he would do and what to expect. In order to run multiple heaters, many power sources (some 220 volt) have to be tapped. Saf was well versed in how to safely and efficiently find the necessary power. After three weeks since this treatment, I am happy to report that all bed bugs have truly been "knocked out" of my condo !

My hard-to-please dad was very satisfied with the entire process working with Knockout. My parents discovered termite swarms in their house and I had 4 highly rated vendors from AL come give us quotes. Of all the vendors, Knockout was the most professional and thorough in their initial inspection. Knockout was the only vendor who followed up after the inspection to walk me through and explained the situation and treatment process. Also, their quote was the most competitive as all the vendors seem to offer similar termite bait systems. The person who installed the system was also very thorough, doing another complete inspection inside and outside the house before installing and also added additional baits inside the house. Overall, we had an exceptional experience working with Knockout.

The tech got up on a ladder and injected some sort of powder. He explained what he was doing, why and what I could expect in the coming weeks. I really appreciated his taking the time to educate me. I felt he was very thorough. He looked from outside the house, from inside the attic and he walked all around the perimeter of my house. I was very pleased with his thoroughness and professionalism.

Very good. No more roaches. I didn't like that they did not offer a guarantee though unless i bought the package for the year. I trusted them because l had hired them begore. However I think they should have offered a guarantee for at least three months.

I called to ask for more information about bed bug services, specifically thermal treatment. The phone operator refused to give any sort of pricing guidelines. I had to first commit and pay for a canine inspection before she would even consider giving me a quote. I continued to press, asking if hypothetically 3 of the bedrooms tested positive what would the ballpark be, and she refused to even give an estimate of costs. I own a multifamily home, with 2 apartments, and 9 bedrooms. Initially, I asked how much it would cost to have the whole house treated. She said they would not do this. Then I asked for a general estimate considering the area we already know have bedbugs and again she refused. I can't believe this company does not have a standardized price list to give estimates. I can't commit to a company before I know how much the treatment might cost - and since we already had a canine inspection and ineffective treatments I don't need to go on a fishing expedition to find out if my tenants have bedbugs. Though I was willing to pay for another canine inspection to enlist their services - I am actually willing to pay a lot to solve this problem but I need to have an idea to what I am committing to and know that the company I am enlisting is transparent. Other companies have volunteered ballpark figures. Absolutely ridiculous.

Response from Knockout Pest Control
Thank you for your review and interest in our company. This is not accurate. The customer called and said she has an ongoing bed bug infestation in her building. She stated it started in one apartment and has now spread to other apartments. She specifically wanted pricing for Heat Treatment. I told her Heat pricing is contingent upon a K9 inspection and is determined by where and how many rooms alert. She said she has a K9 a few months ago. The K9 alerted to every room in the original infested apartment and she wanted us to use those results. I told her they are no longer accurate as too much time has gone by. The K9 inspection providees a specific picture on that exact moment in time and can change after weeks/months. She demanded an exact price and called me shady for not supplying. I tried to explain to her it is not as simple with heat as charging a price per room. Without seeing the apartment and knowing where the bed bugs are, I cannot give an exact price. I gave examples that if we have to treat a living room and the living room is open to other rooms like a kitchen and dining room, we are now in essence required to have equipment to heat 3 rooms. The job may require one day or a 2-day service depending on number of rooms and how much equipment we need to use and this will affect the price. We also need to determine the level of electrical service to support our equipment. I told her I could give a general range. I did state we do not go in and heat the entire house. I explained this would be expensive and typically much more expensive than having a K9 and heat treating the K9 alerted rooms. Additionally, she did not even give me the property address, only that is was in Brooklyn.

This is the second time I've used Knockout. The first time, four years ago, was for an ant problem. The service this time around was just as successful as the first time: since they treated the house (inside and outside), I've not seen a single cricket. They again were prompt and professional. A good experience.

Lee (the Trapper) came and assessed the situation. He set traps outside and inside the house and predicted the amount of time (3 weeks) it would take to get the job done. Lee came almost every day (even on weekends) to check to see progress. He changed traps and bait in an effort to capture the critters. Finally the squirrels were out of the attic and did not return. He placed a temporary plate over the hole they used to access the attic. As predicted, it took three weeks.

During my phone call to schedule an appointment,I mentioned that I took pictures of my potential termite infestation. They told me to send the pictures their way so they can take a look to let me know if they are infact termites & suggested next steps from there. The following morning, I recieved an email letting me know that they weren't termintes but an ant that is not harmful. I was not charged nor made it seem like I was wasting their time. They went out of their way to make sure I had a great customer experience and if the moment arises where I need someone to come to the house for a pest control incident, they will 100000% be the first ones I call. Thank you for creating a lasting impression on myself & my family.
