It went very well. Joe Barker visited twice and apparently killed all the moths the first time but came back to follow up. He was very conscientious, professional, polite and friendly. There is a 90 day guarantee.

I needed a dead mouse removed from my driveway. Based on an Angie’s List search, I contacted several companies in the area but never received a response from anyone but Speed. Speed was professional and understanding in providing me with a most generous price and came out immediately. Easy to do business with and I will contact them again if I ever have a larger problem.

Mr [Member Name Removed] I apologize for the horrible service you received. I mis-scheduled your appointment and didn't realize the error until a member of my office team called you much later in the day to apologize and see if we could reschedule the appointment. John Young

Very nice technician arrived on time and treated the nest quickly. The yellowjackets have been quite hard to get rid of but Speedy has been good about it and they are going to come back and treat it again. Even the folks on the phone are nice. They didn't give me a hard time or try creatively push back the second date to come out and treat the nest. Good people

Great customer service. I reviewed Speed Exterminating website and selected which service I wanted. When I called the main number to schedule an appointment, the customer service representative walked me through the services and answered my questions. The service technician called me before arriving at the house to let me know he was in route and called me after treating the house to review the treatment process. We will use Speed Exterminating again.

Provided a home pest inspection at the request of the buyer of our home. They did find termite damage and provided a possible action plan that we could provide to the buyer along with an estimate for treatment. The home did sell without actually having to be treated by us! However, I've used Speed Exterminating in the past. They are always very prompt and friendly. They never push services and contracts; they will simply show up, give recommendations, and treat with no strings attached. I recommend them to my friends whenever possible.

When the techician came to the house, he greeted us professionally. He told us his name and the company that he worked for. We explained to him that there was a flea infestion in the dwelling. He also explained that we would need to be out of the home for at least 3 hours or more. He went in and, about 20 minutes later, came out and explained that he sprayed throughout the house. He also said to wait about 2 weeks, and the fleas should all be gone. If not call the company back and i will return to respray. I would strongly recomend this company.

Overall my experience with this company was positive.The employee who came out (My apologies for not remembering his name) got right to the task at hand. He first treated the entire foundation of the home. He then treated around the window frames and overhangs of the home. He answered all questions I had concerning what was being done. After explaining how I was noticing a lot of bees flying around the new wooden fence we just had installed, the employee took the initiative to spray around the base of the entire fence length without me even asking. I am very appreciative of him for doing that at no extra charge. The only complaint I have is that they arrived later than the time frame I was told. I did not receive a call stating they were running behind. I had to call to find out what was going on. The company was very apologetic though and got right back to me with an approximate arrival time. I would definitely not hesitate to use this company again.
Description of Work: Had a general spray treatment done for ants, spiders, bees and other insects around the foundation, windows and overhangs of my home. New wooden fence also treated for bees.

It went very well from start to finish. One of the owners participated in the walk through, and I had no problems with the technicians. They're cheaper than Terminex, and the staff as very courteous during quarterly visits.

I love these guys. I used them last year and they are going to be here again this year for a bunch of my rental properties. They guarantee their work. If they have not done what they or I planned on doing, they will be back. For me the price does not matter, for me what matters is that they do the job. I use people who I stay with for long.

We used SPEED EXTERMINATING twice this summer . We were invaded by little bitty reddish brown ants. SPEED came promptly and treated the house inside and out and told us they would return (I think within 90 days) if the ants came back. When we returned from vacation so did the ants. SPEED returned, treated inside and outside again. Problem solved. What a relief! Great service, pleasant personnel, good value.
Description of Work: SPEED EXTERMINATING treated our home inside and out for tiny reddish brown ants. They were very careful to treat around the foundation and in all the kitchen cupboards. They even went to the basement and upstairs in the bathroom which is over the kitchen and were the little demons like to visit.

I have used them for probably twenty years. I used them at my business that I used to own as well as at my own home. I don't really remember how much they charge me. I have been using them for so long and I know that at one point in time I did switch and try somebody else at my business and it was more money and not good followup service. The wonderful thing about Speed is that for example my daughter is allergic to bees and throughout the summer bees and wasps make hives all over the house and things like that. After they come out for their initial spraying, they will come out every week or twice a week if there is an additional hive or something found. They never charge me anything additional and they just come out and take care of it and within like a three months period they will come out every week and that is truly wonderful. If I have an issue, I call them and they try and get out here as soon as possible which has really been wonderful. I would rate them highly and would continue to use them in the future. I have really never had any issues with them.

I found evidence that my home needed to be treated for fleas. I made phone calls to 4 exterminator companies and based on their approach, prices and "packages" I chose Speed Exterminating. The technician arrived and spent approximately 30 minutes examining my home to ensure I had diagnosed the problem correctly and home contents were as they should be before applying any chemicals. He was very thorough. We had to evacuate the house for the Flea Control service to be administered. I had my neighbors watch and he spent an hour and twenty minutes applying the chemicals. I have a small home and in that time that is a really thourough spraying. When I returned home I checked hidden areas and/or remote areas and they were sprayed. I had moved and prepped my home for the service but found furniture was moved again or even more, to the tech's satisfaction, to get to these areas. They invoiced as quoted. Never attempted to "over-sell" a pest control package; they said if I needed more service they would be available. Provided 90 day guarantee as did their competitors. I was willing to spend what I needed to get the appropriate service for my flea problem. I researched the Internet to understand my flea problem. I believe Speed Exterminating provided an excellent service at the best price. I am 100% satisfied.

My experience with them was very good. The guy came in and he went to take a look. I think he guaranteed his work for six months. My son-in-law went on their website and they had a whole discussion of how to get rid of black ants. It's an educational thing and that kind of impressed my son-in-law. They also gave me the Angie's discount. I paid $155 for their service. They are knowledgeable people. The fellow who was doing the job seemed to know what he was talking about. He was very businesslike. He came on a Saturday. They were good on the phone and to the point. They looked at the schedule and told me when they could come out. They took care of the problem.

The technicial Bill was very personable and friendly. He apologized for being a little early, which for me was a pleasant surprise because my day wasn't taken up with waiting for this job to get done. I really appreciated getting my time back which gave me the rest of the day to make progress with my plans. Bill mixed the ingredients and got right to work. He was most pleasant and friendly and did an excellent job! We talked about our pets and shared dog related stories, since I am a dog trainer. Bill finished the job quickly and left me with a whole day to get my errands done:). The ants were gone immediately and have not returned to date. I also would like to mention that I didn't have to deal with any odors from the chemicals and my animals didn't appear to have any issues resulting from the application of the spray inside or outside of my home.
Description of Work: Ants were invading kitchen, dining room and basement areas. I could not get the issue under control using over the counter sprays and insecticides. I also had concerns with safety issues using chemicals around my pets. The representative sprayed and left bait in all areas where the ant population was prevalent and then sprayed the entire inside and outside of my home, and leaving additonal chemicals in crevices and behind wall coverings.
