Lewis Exterminating Co

I liked the communication and friendliness. They were very nice. We called them out the following year. We have the trees here and we get carpenter ants. They were coming into the house. He was interested in what he was doing. He had a passion for his work. He was overall friendly. That's always important to me. They were efficient and we didn't have a problem with the ants again.

Took a day to get ahold of them but they moved appointments around to get to me asap (thank you). Once sprayed, it took a couple days for the onslaught of ants to stop but they did. All is well again.

After contact (8-7-17), Lewis Exterminating came the next morning. The Yellow Jacket wasps were still quite busy coming in and out of their nest right at the front entry steps. They had been buzzing around the heads of visitors and residents. The drug store spray I purchased one day earlier had not slowed them down one bit, only made them swarm around the entry steps even more. Mr. Lewis put on his safety equipment, got his sprayer then got busy destroying the nest. He explained that the chemical would be carried into the nest by the yellow jacket wasps where it would destroy them entirely. I returned to the property on 8/9/10 and there was no wasp activity at the nest. They were gone!

I thought it was overpriced for what I got. He came out with that big round thing with the holes, and he sprayed around the edges of my house and around the windows. If I could have had what he was using to spray with, I could have done that myself. The quality was all right. I still see bugs around my window, but they’re always dead. So, I guess the fact that I’m still seeing but they’re dead. They were responsive. They were on time. They were professional. I would not use them again. I wouldn’t recommend them because I wasn’t thoroughly satisfied and I don’t want to have somebody else feel the same way that I do. The spray took about a half an hour.

We had a nest of aggressive yellow jackets near our sliding patio. It seemed as though the nest got large and nasty overnight. I called Saturday about 10:00 am to have it removed. John showed up about 11:30 and completed the job. I have seen no more yellow jackets today and he says his work is guaranteed for two months. He was very polite and professional and did not seem to mind answering my many questions.

It went well. He was professional and arrived on time for both visits.

I was disappointed in the fact they didn't find how the mice we getting into the house, which was want I really wanted to have done. They inspected the house and laid bait. I wasn't in favor of putting bait out. But I did find how the mice were getting in --- a crack in the foundation. I may not have found it without the bait as I saw which bait was being eaten. Lewis was right on top of things. He called afterward to check how things went and to remind me of a 2 month guarantee. If they would have found the crack, I would have given them straight A

Mr. Lewis and his team are terrific. My initial call resulted in next day service. The technicians were prompt and professional. They were patient in addressing questions and concerns.

I bought the deal for pest spraying and they came out quickly sprayed and were very good. We later found that the bugs around a vent on the interior wall so they came out that same day and sprayed more in that area and now we are bug free

I was extremely happy with the timely service and professionalism of this company. I reached out to several other A rated companies on Angie's List and this company was the only one that actually answered when I called. And as of this review, the other companies have yet to even return my calls. I spoke to John Lewis, the owner, and he was courteous and took the time to explain all the options and even gave me a range for what the job might cost. He gave me a time when the service guy would show up and the guy was right on time. Dwayne, the service tech, was polite and courteous as well and took a lot of time going through the house to determine where the potential problem areas might be. The final cost actually came in within the range he quoted. I will be calling them back for any future issues I might have. They were fair, honest, and it seemed, truly concerned about solving my problem. Hard to find good companies that value their customers and take care of them. Lewis Exterminators are one of those companies.

They didn't do anything, I had to call them back. They could improve on better follow-up.

He came by and he did the job and I was pleased with him. Once he sprayed I didn't see any dead bees but I didn't see any more bees either so I just assumed he killed them but I really don't know. He did say you won't see any more bee and I did not.

It was fine! He came through, he exterminated everything. Everything worked out, he did everything good. I was satisfied with his work! He gave me a better deal. He did just the inside pest, I didn't need any outside work done. He was good! He was very professional. I have been using him again. They were good and professional, I would recommend them to people. The worker was good, he was the owner.

I just called for a quote and I explained it was a little too expensive. Whom ever answered the phone told me I was looking for a "jack leg" and that he was very reasonable. I told him I called Orkin and the price was $89 every other month for a year. He called me a liar! Then he said well call Orkin! How rude. I would not recommend him to do anything in my house!

Mr. Lewis and his crew are awesome. Very professional, and able to meet my crazy schedule. The price was very reasonable.

Badly. After many ineffective visits, he refused to refund money, in spite of his warranty: he claimed he didn't guarantee 100% effectiveness. What is extermination if it's not 100% effective? After a lot of arguing, he consulted with his supplier and bought new chemicals which were finally effective after multiple applications. He was paid in advance for his work. The amount of "conversation" and arguing needed to get the job done was beyond unprofessional. Much of his conversation was his boasting how long he's been in business and how successful he is. He did answer his phone and return calls, which leads to his acceptable rating for responsiveness. Building he treated has no pets; rooms that were treated were clean.

They got rid of the mice, but I thought it was overly pricey to put down 10 traps. He was there 10 or 15 minutes or half-an-hour. He put down what they were supposed to eat the stuff and run off and die. I could have gotten that from a store. He was thorough. I thought it was on his ad that there were to be recurring visits at least two more, but there was no offer of that at all. He was responsive.

They were supposed to come out and inspect, bait, and seal holes for mice as advertised. They came in didn't even look around and just started pulling out plastic trays out of a bad. I don't know what it is that's in my home. I told them this. They didn't insepct and didn't even ask any questions. I start asking questions I was just told "this professional stuff." About the chemicals for the mice. I asked if they were going to inspect the lady said "we can't be looking all around your house for mice." I said, "for $199.00 you should." So I asked them to leave politely I chose against their service I felt it was a rip off and not worth it. They ignored me and kept working. I asked them to leave again, still ignoring me and kept working. So I had to yell at them to get them to leave. Then the lady starts getting loud with me and told me "well you knew what you was getting for $199." I said "no I thought you'd do more." I said please leave I'm not arguing with two strangers in my house." She said "well you called us." They left the lady starts laughing I slam the door. Turns out from the owner the techs were his daughter and son, it's no wonder they don't care about losing their jobs. It shows!

too pricing and service is just ok.

My husband and I spent a reasonable amount of time seeking out an exterminator that would have a good rating and that would take care of the issue we were having with rats and mice coming into our home. We decided to hire the Lewis Exterminating Co. and purchased the deal to solve our problem, believing that they would perform what the deal offered. The services described in the $250.00 deal that we needed performed included: -A home inspection to find potential rodent entry points and seal them off. When the service man first came to our property he laid bait traps around our home, but said that they do not crawl into crawl spaces to seek out entry ways or seal them up. We contacted the owner, Lewis, to dispute this issue with him. He met us at our home with his service man and inspected our basement. After inspecting our home, he explained that we needed a contractor to come and seal up the entry ways to our home because his business does not do that. He stated that his company only provides the service of planting traps in the home, and sealing up entry ways that are on the floor of the basement. He said that if the rodents have made entries into the home where supporting beams of the house sit on the foundation, like under a porch, at the top of the block, or else in a crawl space, they will not assist with this issue. We asked for our money back, and Lewis willingly agreed to comply with the request. He could not fulfil the deal details which is what we needed to be completed. Thank you for your time. Eli and Sarah Wisecup

Did not solve rodent problem, but provider refunded money based on inability to perform service.

I had purchased from Angie's List an online service for $250 Rodent Removal. I had found a squirrel in my house and removed it but was concerned that there might be more so I purchased the service. He called within a couple of days of my purchase and scheduled a visit within a week of the call. He arrived on time. After we talked a bit, we realized he thought I still had a squirrel in the house that I wanted him to remove. Instead, he studied the house, eves, basement from outside and assured me there was no place that squirrels could get in except perhaps through the chimney. He inspected the vent on my boiler and suggested that the squirrel fell from the roof, through the chimney, and climbed out through the vent into the house. We discussed payment. He said he charges $100 for a house call, and Angie's charges him $15, so he passed that on to me and said he would refund the balance as soon as he got Angie's payment. I received a check within about one week. He was professional, patient, and fair. I thought the $100 service call was a little steep but am glad to have peace of mind that squirrels cannot set up in my house.

Needed this quickly! I placed the Angies List order on Saturday morning and John called me within the hour and scheduled a Monday AM visit. I really appreciate his flexibility. Couldn't have gone any better!

If your problem is at ground level this is the service to go to.

I purchased the deal on Angie's list for wasps nest removal. We agreed on a date and time. I told Mr. Lewis that I might be a couple of minutes late and I was. When I got home the technician Dwayne was already there. He had walked around the house and found another wasp nest. He agreed to remove both and he did a great job. Dwayne was efficient in removing the nests. He was a pleasure to work with. The nests have been gone for a couple of days now and no wasps have returned. I thank Lewis Exterminating for a job well done.
