Bryan and Ryan were great. They were on time and explained everything. Made quick work of the yellow jacket nest and were very professional and even sprayed a few extra areas for us. Much appreciated. It's good to see people take pride in their work and these guys did. Great job!

The technician arrived slightly in advance of the scheduled time. He identified the species of ant and explained clearly the procedure involved in spraying the pesticide he intended to use, including its impact on floor care and our pets. He answered all questions thoroughly and provided additional information about a pest concern we had in general (bedbugs) though we were not experiencing that particular problem. He was pleasant, efficient, and left the spaces in which he worked in good order. We were pleased that the overall cost included exterior spraying in the spring (it was winter at the time of the interior treatment).

I contacted them over two days ago. No one responded, have heard nothing from them. I think a lack of response in two days is unacceptable in any business but especially so with this type of problem.

Brian came out and was very professional. I was not home at the time, but he called me to make sure the trap was in the correct area and walked me through everything he did/treated at my house. Very friendly. Very knowledgeable. He told me he would return the next morning to check on the trap and reset it if necessary. I initially called Akron Pest Control on a Thursday evening; Margaret returned my call the next day and set up the service call for Monday! I was amazed and appreciative of the prompt response and service. I'm confident that the "critter" will be caught eventually! I would highly recommend Akron Pest Control and will certainly be utilizing their services in the future if needed. Thank you!

Prompt. Very professional. Very thorough. I have used this company three or four times and I have always been very satisfied. I asked the serviceman about a bird's nest that is in the flue right outside my door. He said he would take care of it, but I asked if we could wait until the present baby birds have left the nest, and he agreed, and said he will come back at no charge (!) and remove it, AND cover the flue with screening to prevent further nesting! Could not hope for better service.

Response from Akron Pest Control
We have spoken to Mrs. [Member Name Removed] and she informed me that this was not an issue with our Service. She was having an issue with getting the appointment schedule due to our high volume of calls that we were having at the time she was trying to schedule. This is what caused her frustration, NOT our service. She in fact said she was satisfied with the service we provided and was not having any more pest issues. The incorrect review is unfortunately due to an Angie's List agent calling her for reviews. She had a brief discussion with them about Akron Pest Control and Angie's List actually decided to post the response for her. She explained to us at Akron Pest Control that she felt the issue did not warrant a bad review but instead Angie's List felt the need to post. She was not aware that the review was going to be posted on her behalf. It is very disappointing that they posted an inaccurate response. I am currently working with Angie's List on this matter. Akron Pest Control will always work with the customer to first be sure the pest issues are resolved and second to be sure you are a completely satisfied customer. We take our Customer Satisfaction and our Angie's list rating very serious!! Thank you, Tom Whitis - Owner

Technician arrived when expected and began inspection immediately. He examined the exterior of the house, the garage, and some areas throughout the yard. We had only seen a few carpenter ants but were concerned enough to call a professional; we expected whoever we called to apply treatment and were prepared to pay the treatment cost. However, he did not find any signs of carpenter ants (or any other pests) and said he really couldn't see any reason to apply a treatment. He charged us an inspection fee and said to call them back if needed. We are grateful for his honesty and the peace of mind he gave us. We would definitely call them back for other issues.

They were good. They're really nice. My house has a funny angle and the squirrels like to make little nests up there. They blocked it off but one squirrel knocked right through it and they had to come back once to get him out. So far there hasn't been any more up there. They left traps and came back and checked them. They were so good. There was no charge for the second time they came back. They knew what they were talking about. They could have just put trash out, but they went up and investigated and did good work plugging the hole and caulking it in so they couldn't get around the edges. I'm so happy with that. They could have charged more when they came back out and they didn't. That was very nice. It took them a day or two to come out. They're humane and checked the traps on a regular basis.

We heard scratching on our roof during the night and saw evidence of possible entry to attic. We called Akron Pest Control and they sent Roger Westover out to check for Racoons in the attic. Roger was right on time and checked the attic and also the roof for possible entry of racoons. Fortunately the racoons were not able to get in. Roger advised us how to avoid future problems with racoons. The price was very reasonable, Roger gave us a senior citizen discount and provided us with great service and peace of mind. We will use Akron Pest Control with any future needs and recommend them to our friends. Thanks again to Roger and Akron Pest Control for prompt and professional service.

The service man was punctual and very nice. He came out, looked around, set up the food traps and checked the perimeter for holes they could be getting in at. A few weeks later I was still having mouse sightings, so I called them back. Again, he was very punctual & very nice. He checked the repellent, saw it was being nibbled on so in theory something should have been working. He did another perimeter check, this time found gaps between to siding and foundation and advised how to fill them. So that weekend I did get the spaces filled, but I was seeing an increase of droppings. So I ended up going to the store and buying glue strips. This was the only way I got rid of the mice, but filling the gaps helped to keep new ones out. I may use them again if needed, but I may try to do it myself first next time with the glue strips. They were very pleasant to work with, from the customer service on the phone to the service man at the house.

insula.Brian told me what to expect and true to his word, the rest of the day it seemed to be raining half dead and dying bees and I would vacuum them up, Brian was very knowledgeable and informative, explaining to me how and why the bees are clustering around the windows lately. I have total piece of mind now knowing my dog, cats and birds will not be stung. I have used this company at three different homes now and was completely satisfied and would recommend them to anyone. EXCELLENT job Brian!
Description of Work: I have been having a problem with yellow jackets, and was unable to locate where there were getting in the house., Brian immediately took charge of the situation, located the nest, went and got his ladder even though he was there for a different pest problem.He placed his ladder where the nest was located where he immediately got stung himself. He marched out to his truck, got his beekeepers uniforms on went back up the ladder and dusted the nest while i was cowering in the house. I had been stung several times in the past few days.

We have 4 children and we had a bee problem and so we didn't want the bees or wasps to sting our children. They came last summer and spray so we didn't have problem the rest of the year. It took them a while to come out because they were pretty busy because of all the rain so it wasn't really their fault.
Description of Work: They did service for us about 2 weeks ago. We were getting bees and wasps again so we called them and they came out to spray again this summer.

After the flooding of my basement I had a lot of carpenter ants showing up. Akron Pest Control scheduled services very quickly with an estimate over the phone which they honored. They treated my basement and around the perimeter of my home. Four nests were found outside in yard and all were treated. The ants seemed to immediately disappear from the nests :-) Good news is the service is guaranteed for a year and they will retreat if necessary.
