I have been very pleased in my dealings with this company - initial phone contact, visits, re-scheduling if I need to and the professionalism of Tony, my rep. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything well. I also like the fact that I continue to have no bugs inside.
Description of Work: I have been using Scherzinger for about a year and a half and have been very pleased. The initial visit was because my new house was swarmming with very small black beetle-like bugs. Tony conducted a whole house inspection and identification process. He then had to use a couple of different chemicals and sprays depending on the area being treated. These bugs were in the attic, garage, and in the house. They came back once for another treatment but also followed up to see how things were going. They thought it was a "cigarette beetle" and confirmed through UK. I have them on a quarterly treatment program and don't see one bug in the house even I have fields all around me and new construction where things get stirred up.

I rate them high overall. They come when they say they are going to come. They take care of all the problems. I used to pay them once in a year and now I pay them quarterly. They do regular spraying when they come. If you have any issues in between, you can call them and they will come when you are at home and take care of it. I will definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I use Scherzinger Pest Control – Cincinnati for pest control and extermination. I have a contract with them. They come once in every quarter. They were here before thanksgiving.

I am on their plan for prevention. Years and years ago they had installed a termite station for prevention. They come out on a regular basis to check the station and see if there is any activity. I pay for every two years or something. They are very respectful of my home. They are professional and very autonomous. They seem to know what they're doing. My overall experience with them has been fine.

We just canceled the former service. As prices change and things are getting more expensive we had to cut back. They do a general treatment for any kind of bugs or anything like that. Previously we were using them for that. Now we have canceled that part. They have been very good in reporting in whenever we needed them here. In general they have been very handy. They were reasonable when we started using them. It has been a number of years we have been using them but we have not compared them lately. Quality wise they are very good whenever we needed and they are very careful when coming through our yard and through our plants. We will continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: A couple of months ago we had Scherzinger Pest Control to come out. We had an annual contract with them. We just converted from that because we were getting different treatments but now we are doing just termites for which we pay $300 a year. So they come quarterly to treat check and maintain the little traps to see if those tiny little insects are running around.

They are a really cool company and I have had them before. The guy who came out actually went down into our basement and sprayed around the inside of the foundation. I like the technician because he is really thorough; usually the problem is taken care of immediately. I will use him again in the future.

We started using them a long time ago. The great thing is that, if you have any problem between their visits, they will come out within 24-48 hours and take care of the problem at no additional cost. I would recommend them.

Heat Treatment was not successful. The bed bugs came back. The company did not honor their warranty. For a second treatment, they gave me an even higher quote then before.....of $2,500 instead of $1,750 because Ryne said that the original $1,750 was just an "introductory offer". Sounds to me like he didn't really expect the first treatment to work. The first treatment probably didn't work, because it was cold outside and Scherzinger did not have the capacity to adequately apply the heat treatment given the amount of space inside the apartment and conditions outside. The room temperature may have been 140F, but it is unlikely that all the places where the bugs hid under the floor or walls also got that high. From what I have researched, heat treatment will kill the bugs and eggs, but it is a very difficult treatment to apply, and bugs can hide and be insulated from the heat if they crawl into certain cracks or crevices. The heat treatment should only be recommended and used during the warm summer months when it is easier to bring the house up to the desired temperature. However, the salesman did not recommend this at the time.
Description of Work: Heat treated one of the units in order to destroy bed bugs and eggs. Salesman Ryne McCormick told us that only the living room, bedroom, and bathroom needed to be treated. They taped of the Kitchen with plastic because they said they would not have enough capacity to also do the Kitchen. However, they promised me that they did not believe there were bed bugs in the Kitchen and that it was not necessary. It was a cold day in December, but the rooms and walls felt warm when I came back inside.

They come every three or four months to do maintenance kind of spray on the outside of the house. They come out on an as needed basis if you have any issues in between. The person that we use in particular called Chad is fantastic. We had an ant problems and he came out two times trying to figure out where the source of the problem was. He was very determined and figured out the source. He solved the problem.

They got the job done. They could only do half of the job while they were here because they did not have some equipment. I had to wait for another two or three months to get it done, but it was my fault not theirs. They did an adequate job. I have had no complaints. I would use them again in the future if necessary.

I called Scherzinger. I asked about an estimate for a specific service and they set up an estimate appointment for that specific service. The estimate appointment already took several days longer than all of the other exterminators I called. The day of the appointment, the guy calls me and says he will be at my house to perform services and they weren't even the correct type of services I requested. When I questioned him, he said he would have to set up an appointment for another guy to come out because he doesn't handle the type of service I requested. He said the other guy can take care of this. He also told me about how much money the other service would cost. (It was extremely high compared to other exterminators.) I could not get information about the cost over the phone when I called for the original appointment. Had I been told the cost up front, then I would not have bothered with the estimate appointment in the first place. I told him not the bother to come to my house because I lost confidence in their services at that point. I have heard that Scherzinger is a good company however my experience was not good. Added: March 13, 2011 This is in response to Scherzinger's response. Your response is false. I was not told all of the information your response insinuated. If your response were true then why in the world would I set up an appointment for an estimate--ONLY an estimate? Why would you dispatch your technician to do the job for a treatment I didn't even ask for, get an estimate for or even approve? When I called your office I was told they could not give me any pricing and that I HAD to have an estimate for the service I requested. The appointment was for that estimate and ONLY that ESTIMATE. Your technician called me, the day of the estimate appointment, and told me he was on his way to do the job. (instead of coming for the estimate appointment it was supposed to be) I told him he was supposed to be giving me an estimate for the Heat Services. He said that he doesn't handle that (heat services) and that he would have to have someone else come out to do the estimate. I told him that I was unhappy about it and that I just needed to know the price of the Heat Services...even a "ballpark" price. He told me the price. He knew I was upset that I had not been given that information up front when it could have easily been given and the whole appointment or anything else would not have happened in the first place. So he said he would call someone and call me back. He called me back very quickly (of course NOW he would since he was losing the business!) but it was too late in my book. I was tired of everyone at Scherzinger being evasive AND not divulging information up front AND sending someone to do a job I didn't even ask for OR get the estimate for OR even APPROVE the estimate or the job! I hope my experience was an isolated experience and that your company doesn't normally handle matters this way. It is a good way to lose business. I also hope that your company learns from my experience for the sake of your future customers.
Description of Work: I did not choose this exterminator. No services performed.

Response from Scherzinger Pest Control
The Member did request an inspection for her home with concerns regarding a target pest for which we offer two solutions; a conventional service requiring an Initial Service and a minimum of 3 follow-up services and the other a 1 time service that uses heat technology to eliminate all life stages of the target pest. We dispatched a Technician that could provide the conventional treatment as our Heat Teams were scheduled 3 weeks out and it was our understanding that the Member wished a timely response. Our Technician was told when he contacted the Member that she was interested in the Heat Treatment rather than the conventional service to which he responded he was unable to provide that service and that those crews were not available for another three weeks. She told him she was unwilling to wait that long and told him not to bother coming to her home.
