THE INSPECTOR CAME TO PERFORM A TERMITE INSPECTION. HE WAS ON TIME AND POLITE. HE GAVE ADDITIONAL INFO. REGARDING THINGS THAT COULD CAUSE A TERMITE PROBLEM.

They arranged the appointment conveniently, arrived promptly, and were done in about 20 minutes. Rep was very courteous, explained the type of hornet, and answered my questions. I didn't shop around so I'm not sure if the price was competitive, but it seemed fine to me.

JIM WAS WONDERFUL. CHECKED EVERYTHING HE COULD CONSIDERING ALL THE SNOW WE'D JUST HAD, AND TOLD US THAT WE COULD HAVE HIM COME OUT ANYTIME WITHIN A YEAR SO HE COULD CHECK ANYTHING (FOR FREE) NOT ''CHECKABLE'' DUE TO THE SNOW. ON BOTH VISITS (WE DID CALL HIM BACK AFTER THE SNOW MELTED), JIM PROVIDED TONS OF GOOD INFORMATION REGARDING WHAT WE COULD USE A PEST SERVICE FOR, AS WELL AS THOSE THINGS NOT REALLY WORTH THE MONEY (EVEN THOUGH THEY DO PROVIDE SERVICES ON THOSE THINGS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY ANYWAY). THE APPOINTMENT SETTERS WERE A BIT FRUSTRATING (THE ONLY REASONS FOR THE B RATINGS PROVIDED), BUT IF YOU GET PAST THEM, AND GET JIM TO DO THE INSPECTION (HE GETS ALL AS!!), YOU'LL BE GOLDEN!

CAME OUT WITHIN 2 HRS OF MY INITIAL CALL. QUOTED A RATE OF $160-220 OVER THE PHONE, GIVEN THE NEED FOR EXTENSION LADDERS. PRICE CAME IN AT THE LOWEST END OF THE QUOTE. KIERAN WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND COURTEOUS, TOOK TIME TO ANSWER ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. WHEN I CALLED FOR A SECOND TREATMENT WITHIN MY WARRANTY PERIOD, THEY WERE ABLE TO SCHEDULE WITHIN 48HRS OF MY CALL. GAVE A WINDOW OF 2 HRS WHEN THEY'D BE ABLE TO COME OUT, BOTH TIMES WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE. WOULD RECOMMEND WITHOUT HESITATION.
Description of Work: REMOVED WASP NESTS FROM PITCHES OF HOUSE, WHICH REQUIRED AN EXTENSION LADDER. THOROUGHLY CHECKED THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE, INCLUDING GUTTERS, TO ENSURE NO OTHER NESTS THAN REPORTED. SPRAYED BEHIND ALL SHUTTERS, AS WASPS/HORNETS TEND TO BUILD THERE. WHEN WASPS RE-APPEARED ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER, PROMPTLY CAME OUT TO RE-SPRAY AT NO COST (90 DAY WARRANTY W/SERVICE).

HAD AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH PIGEONS ROOSTING ABOVE A GUTTER BEHIND AN INACCESSIBLE EAVE. MY REP, JIM GILBERT WAS EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE & IS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE. THE COMPANY WAS POLITE & REALLY KNEW THEIR BUSINESS. I WAS HAPPY WITH THEIR PRICES & QUALITY OF WORK. THE JOB WAS UNDERBID, BUT HELD TO THE ORIGINAL QUOTE; A SAVINGS OF ABOUT $40. JIM ALSO GAVE ME INFO ON A WINTER FLY PROBLEM, IN THE ATTIC, I WAS EXPERIENCING. I'M VERY HAPPY WITH THIS COMPANY & WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE AGAIN. THE COMMUNICATION IS EXCELLENT. A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE WITH A MESSY BIRD PROBLEM!

GENERAL PEST CONTROL WAS COURTEOUS, PROFESSIONAL, AND HELPFUL. THEY CAME WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD AND CHARGED WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD. WHEN I STILL HAD BEES A WEEK AFTER THEY CAME, THEY CAME BACK AND RE-TREATED AT NO CHARGE. THEY WENT UP ON MY ROOF, WHICH IS VERY HIGH, TO TREAT THE NESTS, WHICH SEVERAL OTHER COMPANIES REFUSED TO DO. THEIR RATE WAS VERY COMPETITIVE WITH OTHER QUOTES I RECEIVED. I WOULD RECOMMEND THEM. I SIGNED UP FOR A 3 TIMES PER YEAR PREVENTATIVE SERVICE THEY HAVE BECAUSE I WAS PLEASED WITH THEIR SERVICE.
Description of Work: CAME OUT TO TREAT CARPENTER BEE INFESTATION, CAME BACK A WEEK LATER TO RE-TREAT (NO COST) AS WELL AS REMOVE WASP NESTS AND OTHER NESTS.
