Very well. The exterminator explained what she found and what needed to be done. She quickly took care of the problem, and we have seen no sign of the pests since.

Jerry came to our home to inspect our basement and garage. I had found some boards that had some termite damage and was anxious for an assessment. After inspecting the home, Jerry explained that the termite damage was old. He showed me evidence of prior treatment and reassured me there was no active infestation. He was friendly, professional and informative. Best of all, he was honest in his assessment and I was very impressed.

David came to the house and inspected everything thoroughly, inside and out. I have three crawl spaces in my home, so that was not an easy area to get around in. He then explained exactly what the issue was and took care of the ant problem. He then returned for an inspection 30 days out to be sure he had taken care of the issue. He did a great job. We will be sure to call him for any future problems.

Chris Schavel visited my home and introduced the services of Sure Thing Pest Control. He explained the initial home inspection for pests and the on going program to prevent future infestations. Chis had no problem with me accompanying him as he toured my home. He explained what he was looking for and any areas that could be problematic. I appreciated Chris's professionalism and knowledge. He demonstrated his knowledge and willingness to explain Sure Thing's program. I liked the "no up-sell" and "no scare" approach to his services in relationship to my home. He gave me confidence in Sure Thing Pest Control. After this visit I signed up for a quarterly treatment program.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. The owner Glen, sent his son out to do our termite treatment in April 2018. While out at our house, his son drilled holes through our concrete front step and through our basement ceiling drywall. This then has allowed water to leak into our basement. Glen sent someone to our house 4 times to "patch" the hole. We were assured each time it wouldn't leak again. Well, guess what, it has. After this company marred our home and allowed water to enter, Glen couldn't get a concrete person to come out and do a proper repair. His suggestion was that he file a claim through his insurance company, which he did. The insurance company is offering to pay for the drywall repair, but nothing with the source of the leak from the hole put in our steps. These holes are still leaking today. I called Glen today and he proceeded to lie and now tell me that the steps had issues prior to his son DRILLING HOLE THROUGH THEM. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He told me that he will not help me get my steps properly repaired and that an engineer would say there were prior issues. I assure you that this house did not have issues with leaking prior to this treatment. We bought it in May 2017 and had a thorough inspection completed. Now I sit here in tears, as I have been patient and worked with Sure Thing on this since April. Now for some reason they have decided to lie and deny the damage they caused. Unfortunately, now I will have to look into a lawyer. I'm not sure what else to do. The photos attached were of the most recent rain fall and leak, taken on 12/8/2018.

December 13, 2018 On April 13, 2018 we performed a termite treatment to Mrs. [Member Name Removed]'s home. Unfortunately we drilled four holes into a porch slab close to the front door. The porch slab is built with some unusual construction. The slab is cantilevered over the foundation wall and extends into the basement. Therefore there is no off set of the foundation in the basement. The ceiling is enclosed and visually you can't tell the slab extends into the basement. When the treatment was finished the holes on the porch where filled with concrete. We were notified about the holes in the basement ceiling and the manager went to investigate. On April 21 we patched the four holes in the ceiling. Sometime after the repairs we received a call there was water leaking into the basement around the patched holes in the ceiling. We had had some heavy rains. We responded and thought it might be possible the patched holes in the slab could be leaking. We reopen the holes and used hydraulic cement [hydraulic cement is used to stop water and leaks in concrete]. Several weeks passed and we received a call after another heavy rain that the porch is leaking into the basement. We returned, made an inspection of the holes we patched. The holes were perfectly patched with no cracks or signs of leakage around them. We did not believe the amount of water Mrs. [Member Name Removed] was describing to be coming from the sealed holes. We did however reopen and seal a couple of holes some distance from the others in the general area of the porch slab. We have never believed that our holes were leaking especially after using the hydraulic cement. I never contacted a concrete company to do a proper repair because it was repaired properly. I was trying to get an engineering firm or independent inspector to come out and review the situation. I could not get someone to come out after contacting three different firms. I then turned the claim over to our insurance company. They had an independent adjuster come out. During his inspection other factors were discovered that could be contributing to the water damage. They have made a settlement offer based on damages observed and evaluated by the inspector. At this point it is up to Mrs. [Member Name Removed] to accept their offer or decline it. Mrs. [Member Name Removed] has some construction issues with her porch. You can see where cracks around the edges of the porch slab have been caulked and sealed in the past. She also has a step slab pulling away and being undermined from the main porch slab. We have always believed that these issues are causing her water issues. That is why we have tried and have had an independent inspector look at the issue. If you have any additional questions concerning this issue please direct them to my attention.

I requested a bid for removal of a wasp nest from the side of my garage. The price was attractive, so I accepted the bid for removal of the wasp nest. A technician sprayed the nest by 8:30 AM the next morning and left a bill for the bid amount. I called to see when the nest would be removed and was told within the next few days. After several days, the nest was still in place, so I called again to inquire when it would be removed. A technician stopped by and remove the nest within a few days (some nest residue remained on the side of my garage), but left an additional bill for removal of the nest. I called to see why I was being charged an additional fee for removal of the nest when the original bid was quoted for removal of the nest. As a result, the second "nest removal fee" was cancelled and I paid the agreed upon bid amount. Clarification of fees and procedures at the time of the original bid acceptance could have prevented this misunderstanding.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. What you had was a hornet nest and we do charge to come back and remove them. If it had been wasp we could have treated the nest and removed it at the time of treatment. Thanks, for your business, Glenn!

In short, one of the Sure Thing Pest Control vans ran the stop for my son's bus this morning, how dangerous, irresponsible and disrespectful of this representative! If this is the kind of care they take when driving i sure the heck don't want them anywhere around my home.

Response from Sure Thing Pest Control
First of all, We at Sure Thing take our technicians driving habits very seriously. We have spoken with our driver. He had no intentions of passing the bus, saw the yellow flashing lights as he approached the bus, but did not realized they had changed to red. I called the school transportation dept and spoke with the driver of the bus, he confirmed our driver passed the bus but appeared to have not realized the bus had stopped. A review of our tracking system show our driver had slowed down as he approached the bus. When I spoke with our driver he expressed shock and surprise at what had happen. He felt relieved no one was hurt, and expressed Ms. [Member Name Removed]concerns. He has kids that ride the buses also, and they need to cross the street to get on the bus. We will continue to address driver training in our service meetings. Again in this weeks meeting remind everyone about watching school zones and being aware of school buses. Glenn!

The first time the technician came and eliminated the problem . After a month I noticed another area around a different site near the light fixture. I was getting a new door and another wasp nest was noted by the door installers. I had a follow-up charge within 30 days to eliminate the problem. I appreciate the professional treatment of the technician to the problem . The lesser charge for the follow -up was an added bonus.

I was concerned that we might have a termite issue in the mulch outside my house. The young gentleman (can't remember his name) was polite, punctual, and professional! BUT, here is the part that amazed me...after a thorough inspection, inside and out, he told me there was no evidence of any critters and then went on to completely educate me on their habits patterns and what to watch for! He could have sold me something I didn't need and I would have never known the difference. I am so appreciative of the honesty and professionalism that I will definitely keep this company in mind if I ever have any concerns.

Description of Work: I called Sure Thing to come give me a second opinion on a potential termite situation. Another company had told me that we had termites and needed to spend $900--but Jerry came out and showed me how yes--there were termites once long ago--but they had been treated and were no longer a problem. He saved us $900, for which we are super grateful.

We had a severe wasp and yellow jacket problem in several areas around our house. Even our dog was afraid to go outside. They came and evaluated the problem, discussed plan, and effectively treated them. We have never had a wasp free yard, but we do now. Yellow jackets are gone also. We can now go outside without fear of being attacked. Suggestions were made to help minimize problems for next year. Would definitely use again.

So far so good. Since the installation of the bait stations, Sure Thing has been out to check the stations every month. After discovering activity, sometimes 2 times a month.
Description of Work: Termite inspection, bait station installation and monthly routine checks during application of bait. Don't let the price fool you. This $1000 price tag was based on a year of maintenance. Included in that price is: Over 20 bait stations around the perimeter of the house, labor of installation and monthly inspecions/re-baiting for 12 months.
