Description of Work: After the first call, using the $49 bedbug initial inspection, I already knew I had a small infestation. They were able to send someone over the next day, Saturday, and as soon as confirmation was made, I was given options as to what I can do. I decided to continue with their services and contracted a 3 time visit for extermination, extending over a month. Their technician, Tyrone, made Saturday calls which was convenient for me. They were always professional, honest, and helpful to any question I had.

I do not understand our F rating based on your email to us that follows: Last month I purchased a stink bug treatment from your company thru Angie's List. I am requesting a refund since it is already too late to have this treatment done this year. The order number is #### look forward to perhaps using your company next fall. Thank You [removed member name]

We are disappointed that you were not happy with our service. We performed a bee control service on October 14th. You did not respond to our follow up quality control call. I also called after your posting on Angie’s List of a poor rating. If there is anything we could have done better, please let me know. Arthur Katz, Owner akatz@knockoutpest.com

Description of Work: First had a dog come and check out which room(s) had bedbugs. Only one room, and one side of the room (my side of the bed), had bed bugs, and only a very early light infestation. They come three times, I chose the most expensive option as I really wanted to get rid of them. So real live poison stuff, but then also CO2 freezing them. They answered all my questions, as prep for the room is very labor intensive. Everyone on the phone and then the guys that came very friendly and seemed to be through (although of course, since I had to be out of the during the treatment. They definitely got rid of bedbugs (even by the first treatment) But I was lucky I had a very light and recent infestation. | |

Thank you for your review. Your comments and suggestions for our improved service is 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 B 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 akatz@knockoutpest.com

Description of Work: We hired Knockout to remove a wasp nest from a tree -- a nest that we had removed ourselves already but which had come back. Knockout did a great job - showed up on time, removed the nest, it hasn't come back. I would definitely recommend them. My one quibble is that they sent an autoreply to my request for service - after I'd filled out the form saying what I needed and when I'd like to schedule it, they sent the autoreply that just said, call the office. Several companies have done that, and it really annoys me. I've just filled out the form and given you everything you need to know, and you tell me to call? Why did I just fill out the form? But that's just a procedural thing - the work they did was spot on, and I would recommend them. The lower grade for responsiveness is just about the auto-reply - once I emailed them and told them they had the info they needed already, they called promptly to schedule the work.

Description of Work: They subscribed me for a year long contract of pest control including a sentricon system for termites. Needless to say all pests still exist and have not seemed to slow down. Have had company come back numerous times to treat the house but no improvement. Employees who came to house were very polite. Would not use again considering heavy price tag.

Response from Knockout Pest Control
Thank you for your review. I am very disappointed that your experience was less that straight A’s. I requested that a customer service team member call you and I have attached his comments reflecting his call with you. Once you review them, please feel free to further discuss with me any additional comments or concerns. I would appreciate your reviewing your ratings and adjust as you feel appropriate. Arthur Katz, Owner akatz@knockoutpest.com 1 – Quality of service. He mentioned he still had Carpenter Ants activity on the EXTERIOR of the house. I asked him if he had any issues inside the house, his answer was no. I explained to him that we are a structural company and our goal is to keep insects on the outside. I further explained to him our treatment encompasses the exterior foundation and anything attached to the house, we don’t treat the driveway or the lawn. The activity is a byproduct of the ants exploring in their natural environment, outside. In addition, we have serviced the outside perimeter of the home every time he has requested service. He was upset with the Sentricon System that we installed in July 14’. Apparently he had some work done in house a short time after the system was installed and a contractor saw termite activity. This would be consistent with the need to have the system installed in the first place. I asked him if he called us at that time the workman found the termite evidence, his answer was no. I said if he had we would have dispatched a tech ASAP to identify and treat as needed ( a tech was sent to the house for a retreat and the customer presented a pic of termites, but upon further inspection, there no longer was activity) . He felt the system wasn’t working. I explained to him how the system was designed, that it is a baiting system that can work anywhere between 6 months and a year to eliminate the colony. I further apologized on behalf of the company in the event that wasn’t explained to him, although it is explained in our contract. 2 – Price. He said he felt that for the amount he spent he wasn’t receiving the results he expected. I mentioned that he received a generous discount on the Sentricon (less than $900) and that the system retails for $1275 + tax. I also stated that we are competitive with other companies and that the price he got was lower than industry standards. I also mentioned to him that the KO-12 program he received was given to him at 25% off (regularly 600) and was a value program (the more he uses it, the value he gets). 3 – Professionalism and punctuality. I asked him if any of our office staff or techs were unprofessional and he said no. I mentioned that he graded us a B and asked if there was anything that we can do to improve and he said no. He was a little put off that he had to wait for service and that there was a time frame given. I explained that we do our best to get customers in ASAP but unfortunately, due to scheduling, we can’t always do that. I also explained that we provide a 3 hour window for appointments. We never want to be late. After speaking with him, I think he realized he over reacted. I set up a service for him that was convenient, told him we would treat any areas of concern and if he had any future issues, he can call and speak to me. I also mentioned that we take the Angie’s reviews very seriously and that its disappointing to read reviews that sometimes don’t reflect well on the company or the services that were provided
