Technician put bait stations, snap traps -- and poison in obvious "holes" from the outside where the rodent could have entered or might be exiting. My follow up service was today and another technician checked the bait stations. Rodent is still in ceiling/walls and he said if on the next checkup the rodent was still there, they would put the poison into wall where we are hearing the activity. Both technicians were very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I purchased the service call to install the bait stations, etc. and then checkups each month for the technician to check the bait traps to see if any of the poison bait has been eaten which would be an additional charge each month. I also purchased their KO 12 plan which covers any emergency calls for 12 months, which not only includes the rodent situation, but other pests like ants, roaches, etc. This was definitely money well spent, as now I am getting ants in my home and the technician today also treated the house for ants. I would definitely recommend Knockout Pest Control.
Description of Work: I had rat droppings in house under front steps and a rodent in basement ceiling/walls. Don't know if this was the rat or another rodent, but my house definitely needed to be treated for rats. Since the ceiling/walls are sealed the technician could not see the actual space in which the rodent was nesting.

They came out once. To do pest control you have to do it consistently. One service is not enough. I talked to them a couple of times. I had made two payments. What I needed to do is combine the two payments and get a one year deal, but I don't know what came out of that. There was one worker and he was here for 25 minutes. They didn't use anything other than putting stuff down.

Thank you for your purchase and review. You paid for a one-time service that included a 30 day service contract. Apparently, the service when we "put down stuff" was successful since you did not call for any follow up service. You are correct sometimes a service does need a follow up. However, not in your case. The payment error was yours. In error, you paid Angie's List twice and you were advised to contact Angie's List for a refund on your double payment. Arthur Katz, Owner

It went very well. The lady we spoke to at the office (Yvonne) was very helpful in explaining the options for service, and in answering all our questions. They were able to come very quickly, and the technician was very professional and thorough, and clearly knew what he was doing. We are very pleased with our experience with Knockout and look forward to working with them in future. The cost shown is for a full year contract, not a single visit.
Description of Work: We needed to set up a pest control service in a townhouse that we moved to recently; we had seen a couple of bugs and there was evidence that there had been mice in the house in the past.

It went great the technician was pleasant, well mannered, well groomed, and asked me questions that would help best suit my needs. Once complete, he explained what he did and let me know with the 1 year service plan they would come back anytime i noted an issue, and suggested preventative maintenance. I will update next service needed, which should be soon as there are a lot of crickets in their traps.
Description of Work: I just purchased a new home and noticed crickets kept showing up in odd places. What is up with all the crickets? Well having moved from California I was informed that they are a big problem. I purchased their year service agreement and have had my initial service.

The people at this company are extremely nice, prompt and professional. They have been out here twice. All they do though is put out glue traps and poison, things we can do on our own for much less. It has been a month and we still have mice. We have paid for a year contract so we will call them again if we have ants or other problems when it gets warmer, but for the mice it was a waste of money. They get high marks for friendliness and professionalism however.
Description of Work: We have a problem with mice as does our next door neighbor. We each paid $450 each for exterminator services.

Response from Knockout Pest Control
Thank you for your review and your business. We thank you for purchasing our annual program that affords you unlimited service for one year. Please review our technicians notes that follow: " I added more glue traps. In addition the customer has old steps under the deck that might be connected to the house or may have gaps or pipes that lead into the house that's open. The customer agreed to remove material that's blocking the area so I can inspect next time and see if there are any openings that they need to seal." This is the advantage of an annual program. Sometime one service is not enough to solve a problem. When the homeowner works with our professional staff they will get the results desired. I hope once you get the results you change your review of "C" to "A" Arthur Katz Owner

They were very nice and reliable! You also don't have to sign a contract. It was $150 for the evaluation ($150 goes to bill if you use them for a service) and the second visit was only $81.00. They were very accommodating as well and came out the same day I called.

It was a terrible experience.! I contacted Knock-Out because we saw a rat in the house. We had never had any problem prior to this time. The technician came out and inspected the house. He said there was no evidence of rats but there was a small mouse problem. He put out traps and and showed me the hole around the pipe where rodents could get in. As soon as he left I patched the hole using steel wool, iron mesh and then plaster. 2 days later we found a rat, lethargic and dying (from poison) in our family room. The patch in the hole in the wall was intact, so no new animals could have come in.. I immediately called Knock-out and asked them to come remove the poison as I was afraid if there were more rats I didn't want them to die in the walls and I have dogs, which I didn't want to try and eat a dead poisoned rat and get poisoned themselves. The service people at Knock-Out were not only unhelpful, they were incredibly rude and condescending. First, they told me there was no rat problem, as their technician had not seen any evidence. This was after we had not only seen rat but found one dying in our house. They said that the technician hadn't used poison, even though it is clearly written on the receipt that he used poison. He said that for twice what I had paid they would come back and reevaluate the problem. I calmly explained that they had made a mistake leaving poison in the house and I just wanted them to come remove the poison they had placed, as I didn't know all the places they had put it. The supervisor said this must be a new rat, since their technician hadn't seen evidence of a rat. I pointed out that we had seen a rat, which is as clear evidence as you can get, and he said "you can't believe what the customers say, I mean when you go to a doctor do they just believe you" ( I found this particularly ironic as I am a doctor, and a patient history is crucial to diagnosing an illness). In short, they made a mistake as to what the problem was and refused to take the very simple step of just returning and correcting the problem. I would absolutely not recommend this service because they do not stand by their work or correct mistakes.
Description of Work: I contacted Knockout Pest control because my 18 year old son saw a rat in our house.

The review is not is not factual They wanted free rat service and the money back for the mice service. We offered the tech to call her on the findings and to go back and show her the mice evidence even though he pointed it out on the original visit. She said if we don't do what she wanted then she will give us a bad review. She also called in a pest consultation September and she indicated that she was having a mice issue. The client purchased a discounted service for mice. The procedure for rat control involves different products and the client did not want to pay for this additional service. Arthur Katz, Owner

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. Thank you for your review. You purchased a one time service for mice in May 2016. This included a 30 day service contract. We had no complaints and no requests for follow up. 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. Arthur Katz, Owner

The specialist was super cool. First of all, I was happy they showed up on a Saturday just a day or so after making the initial call. When he arrived, he walked me through my entire home showing me all vulnerabilities for mice. He inspected all the big appliances and laid down glue traps. We also found a dead rat in my tenants unit. It was something the tenants suspected and the reason I paid for the service in the first place. The specialist cleaned it up and showed me how to patch up the hole it got through. He also put some poison bait in the ceiling of the basement. I paid for a year's worth of service and they're supposed to come back quarterly to inspect. We'll see how those visits go. They were really informative and calming when it comes to something as unappealing as mice, roaches, and rats.
