We just signed up for service recently. They came out and did the first spray. We got a bill in Early Nov with a due date of Nov. 22. On Nov 8 (today), we get a call saying our account is past due and a hold was put on our account. Huh? When we called back, we were told that it was an error in their system as they switch to paperless, blah blah blah. Apparently the bill was sent out late and with incorrect dates? Not a big deal, right? A reasonable company would, knowing and admitting fault, would still continue service. But nope. Even though they called recently to let us know they would be coming out and spraying, they will not until we settle our bill. We are brand new customers, and this is how they show us they appreciate our business. Like delinquents? Even though it is clearly, and they admit, their fault... now we have to go out of our way to run the money right over or just wait until they get the payment in the mail and likely miss our service appt. Oh, and they made it seem like they were doing us a favor by not charging us a late fee. I would love to hear their legal argument for how we could be late on a payment if we had never been given a date by which said payment is due. And then given a due date which hadn’t even passed yet. It’s absurd. They know they have an issue, yet nobody bothered to call us and let us know until now. And now it’s late and nothing can be done. Even tho according to our bill it isn’t late. And according them, that’s their fault. But nothing can be done until we drop what we are doing and pay. BS. And to top it off, they are clearly trying to push people into paperless billing. However, if we’d been given that as an option when we recently signed up, or anytime between then and now, we would have gladly chosen paperless billing and none of this would be happening. So, to sum up... poor customer service, and incompetent. I’ll be hunting for a new pest control company. I’m very disappointed, as they seem to have such good reviews, but this kind of customer treatment is a deal breaker for me. There are plenty of other options out there.

I opted for a one time application and it has done the job. I am no longer having a problem with ants or centipedes. As a matter of fact, I haven't even seen any since a few days after the application. I am totally happy with the service.
Description of Work: I was having an ant problem in the kitchen and a centipede problem in the basement that I could not get rid of my self. I have used Scherzinger before and was satisfied with their service so I called them again. (I believe it had been at least 2 years since their last visit.)

The initial service went great. They arrived and installed bait stations as promised. They also inspected the home, although I don't think it was very thorough. After that I only saw them one other time and he didn't actually do anything on that visit other than have me sign the contract (he forgot on the initial service) and he had to write down the serial numbers of the bait stations. That was the last time I saw them and that was almost a year ago. They don't return calls and service is a joke. It's a complete waste of money to hire this company

see above. The billing department harasses you, they are money hungry and could care less about customer satisfaction. I am disappointed in this company Tim was great though.
Description of Work: usual termite inspection as I have been having them "treat" the property with sentricon for many years and I still ontinued to have periodic outbreaks. They said it was because I lived in a wood area, however I suspect that some of the checkers did always thoroughly check the stations and bait was lacking. Tim was great until he was transferred to a fancy area in town. My biggest complaint was the nickel and dime attitude this company has. I was a long time customer who had the guardian protection service in addition to to the sentricon. I was in process of selling my house and I had told the company that I no longer wanted the guardian protection but I wanted them to come out to inspect the stations as I had a termite outbreak two months earlier where termites had eaten through the window sill. You would have thought they would have been detected before that stage as I supposedly was having regular inspections. Oh well, mistakes happen. I asked the young inspector to also see if the ant problem has reoccurred, and he checked, finding nothing ominous but said he would spray for good measure. Okay, so I get a bill for 170.00. I called, remember I am a 20 year customer, saying I had cancelled the guardian protection, and apparently there was no note about that and only documentation of the spray. I assumed that it was a misunderstanding and since I have given them thousands of dollars over the decades, they would accept my word and let it go. Instead, I got a series of harassing telephone calls, insisting I pay the entire cost of three months guardian protection. I question their greediness and also have suspicion that perhaps they don't fix the problem, as evidence by excessive termite damage throughout the years in spite of their advanced treatment.

Ms. [Member Name Removed], We apologize for the misunderstanding. Our accounting department was simply calling on an open invoice they observed in the system without knowledge of the full situation. Our Service Manager will be in touch first thing Monday morning to remedy this situation for you and we value you as a long term customer and will work with you to make the situation right for you. Thank you again for your years of loyalty to Scherzinger Pest Control.

Kenny was so professional and gave a lot of information on the why this was happening and how to prevent it. I was running late due to traffic and he waiting nearly 30 minutes for me to get there. Excellent customer service all around from not only Kenny, but both people I spoke with on the phone to set up the appointment. Would recommend them to everyone!

I have been using the company for about 4 years. Their service has gone very well. We have had little problems with indoor pests since using the company. Typically one technician comes out for the service. If you have a specific bug problem or issues in a specific area of your home they will take extra steps to alleviate the problem. They do a very good job and they come out as scheduled periodically. If we ever have an issue it is easy to call them to come out and they come out quickly.
