This is my first really bad experience with Scherzinger. I have been with them over 15 years, but I'm now taking bids from other companies.
Description of Work: For years I have purchased the quardian plus pest control service to the current tune of about $216 per quarter. The person who usually did the work for me was polite, if a little chatty. He has been replaced wit someone wh is very chatty (as in hard to get rid of) and has an explanation for why she can't do anything about the bug problems I'm having in the house and around my deck and front door, Her first explanation as to why she could not do anything about the silverfish in my house was because they did not respond to pest spray and I needed to light my fireplaces, which is where they were likely coming in. Next, after I cleared a tremendous amount of stuff out of two basement areas and found at least 6 dead mice stuck to the traps, she said that I needed to clean the area f all debris before she could do anything to put in new traps. Finally, I had some tree work done and one of the workers pointed out two places in the main seating area of my deck that appeared to have bees building a hive. I am also having problems with wasps in the same area and bees and wasps around my front door. I asked her to please spray in those areas and she laughed at me. She said bees and wasps hadn't started building nests yet and until I could show her an active nest, she would not be able to treat the areas. The bees are going inside the walls of my house because of holes that have been dug in the mortar between the bricks. That wasn't good enough. She refused to treat either area until she could see a nest. For the cost of the service, I don't care whether she can see a nest. She can spray pesticide to kill off the bees and wasps in the areas they are congregating. Maybe if she spent less time gossiping about her other clients. she would have time to do her job.

My wife and I had seen a few insects around the basement and house that were very unusual for us, so I scheduled an inspection to ensure that we didn't have a problem starting. The representative from Scherzingerwas punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable. He inspected the house and even helped me dig through the basement garbage to find a dead insect to aid in the identification process. He concluded that the insects we'd seen were common for our area and could be controlled in other ways. He assured us that they were not the start of a more serious problem. He offered suggestions to prevent the pests from entering the home and offered to schedule a service to put my mind at ease if I wanted. His apparent knowledge about the insects and his assurances really helped us understand and feel at ease. We opted to hold off on any type of treatment. They didn't even charge for the inspection. I will definitely call Scherzinger if I experience any sort of pest problem due to the excellent service and attention I received from this representative during this inspection.
Description of Work: Inspection of home and evaluation of pest issue based on circumstances and insect specimen.

I started hearing scratching noises in the wall of my house late at night. Unsure of exactly what the animal was, I called Sherzinger due to good ratings on Angie's List. The woman I spoke with on the phone initially recommended I speak with another contractor due to the uncertainty of the animal. Apparently, other than insects, they only deal with mice. I appreciated the honesty and professionalism. After further investigation, I determined the source of the noise was, indeed, a mouse. I called Scherzinger back and explained the situation. The woman recommended a service contract that would include future visits. The cost of this contract is $400 ($200 initial visit cost, $100 each for next two visits). Understanding that mice can be an ongoing problem, it seemed to be a good idea, and I scheduled the first visit. A couple days later, the technician arrived on time. He asked questions and performed an inspection based on my information. The technician recommended poison in strategic locations in my attic. He also put down a couple "sticky" traps in my garage. Technician was prompt, professional, and courteous. Technician asked if I had any other pest issues, to which I replied "silver fish". He wanted to "dust" my attic but couldn't due to my house having a whole house circulation fan that could blow the dust out of the attic. To his credit, he seemed to be trying to make the visit worth my money. He recommended keeping an eye out for any other pests so he can treat them on return visits. Technician followed up with a couple of phone calls to see if the mouse treatment worked. The mouse problem seems to be resolved (haven't heard any more noises), but overall experience was only "fair" due to the steep price. $200 for the service performed (40 minutes and some poison/traps), is borderline ridiculous. Hopefully the mouse problem doesn't return and the subsequent service contract visits will justify the cost.
Description of Work: Technician came to my house to perform inspection and treatment for mouse problem. Technician recommended poison and traps and recommended strategic locations. Technician followed up with a phone call one week later to check on status. Technician was prompt, professional, and courteous.

Response from Scherzinger Pest Control
While we acknowledge that we are not the cheapest service in the marketplace most of our customers find the value we bring to our services well worth the price. The Guardian program purchased by [member name removed] is our flagship pest control service program. It is designed to not only eliminate existing problems but to prevent future infestations of any crawling or flying insects as well as rats and mice. The program is offered as a continuing service and is intended to provide long term protection through quarterly exterior services. The value of the Guardian Program lies in its long term protection and continuing Warranty against future infestations and as such is not designed to be a 1 time service. Perhaps a better option would have been our Problem Solver Program that is designed to target and solve a specific pest situation rather than focusing on long term protection. These services are considerably less expensive and are typically successful with one or two services. We apologize if we failed to effectively identify his needs and desires during our consultations.

The company was hired by the previous owner of my home to treat a termite infestation for both the house and garage. The previous owner had ScherZinger install the Sentricon system around the perimeter, and was to be monitored on a quarterly basis with a minimum of 4 services per year according to their service agreement as of February 2012. In the past year, the ScherZinger only serviced the Sentricon system once, and left a bill in February 2013 to pay another $260 to continue service. I called several other termite companies - both national and local - and the inspectors confirmed that my home and garage still had termites. The Sentricon system that ScherZinger installed had failed in addition to not being maintenanced properly. I had to pay $1000 for another company to treat my house and garage with a liquid treatment to get rid of the termite infestation.
Description of Work: Termite treatment. Installed Sentrion system to eliminate existing termites within the home and garage.

Response from Scherzinger Pest Control
We apologize for any confusion or miscommunication that has occurred regarding this service. I have spoken with the customer and have provided copies of the inspection reports detailing the services provided under our agreement. Services were performed in February, March, May, August and November 2012 and most recently in February of this year. All were performed as agreed. We only wish the customer had given us the opportunity to resolve or address their concerns when they first first felt that there was a problem. Had such notice been provided I am confident we could have resolved their concerns satisfactorily and with no additional expense to them.

I've been happy with Scherzinger Pest Control. I really like the guy who comes and sprays the house, he's really good. He's a personable guy and does a good job, he answers my questions. I had him come in on a couple of little emergency issues in the beginning where we were starting to spray. He and Scherzinger worked with me pretty well.

We have Scherzinger come to our house quarterly to spray for pests (particularly ants.) They do a thorough job of spraying. One time we saw a couple of ants in between our quarterly sprays, and they came out at no charge to spray the inside and outside of the house again. They are also very responsive when calling their customer service line. I would definitely recommend them as a pest control provider.

I found dust in my kithcen and I cleaned it up. A week later it was back again and I noticed the door frame was being ate up by bugs. I never saw the bugs, but I saw the dust. The main infestation was in my kitchen, and they sprayed all over, even for spiders. They wrote me a 45 day guarentee that he would come back if I saw more of the dust. The bugs are gone as far as I know though. I also thought they were very professional and prompt.

Scherzinger is a local company that has been around for a long time. Their reputation is good. They are better in looking for areas where termites and ants can get in. They always send someone out if I encounter any problems. They send a different technician for every visit. It is inconvenient for us since they have to look for the stations that the previous technicians installed.
