I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and knowledge of Eddie Jenkins, who came out from Capital City Exterminating Co. and took care of the ant problems inside and out. He reassured me about the gel treatment indoors, which is odorless and will not pose a problem with my children or pets. This was a great relief - as I had been using insecticide spray with little success. The cost is well worth it, given this will eliminate the bug issues (and prevent the need for me to spray more chemicals inside). Excellent work. Thank you!
Description of Work: Use gel to remove ant colony in my living room/kitchen; spray around perimeter of my home for seasonal insects - including ants; and exterminate a giant ant hill in our front yard.

Went well. Jeff was on time. Work was completed. He did his best to get the problem fixed right away. Sprayed and tried hard to figure out where they came from. However, Unless I got involved, I am not convinced that they would have sprayed the entire under section of the window. However when pointed out he took care of it.

This company seems to be very reliable and trustworthy. The technician resolved the problem. we asked him to return for a check-up every six months at the reasonable cost of $75 per visit.
Description of Work: When we started noticing mice droppings in the basement, we checked the List and called the company. Service was prompt, professional and effective. The technician explained carefully the steps he was taking and returned a month later to check the situation. We used an Angie's List coupon. The technician arrived exactly on time.

Very professional and informative. We'll definitely use them again for other services.
Description of Work: We had evidence of mice in the house. The technician came out and performed an inspection, and left poison traps in the basement and attic. He came back out a couple weeks later and inspected again and let us know how many mice we likely had -- past tense. No more mice!

John arrived and inspected the exhaust fan and air duct where the birds (4) were located. The birds were in a particular bad situation given the routing of the air duct in that they could not leave on their own. I greatly appreciated John's strategy and approach to the situation from the very start. He was successful in removing all of the birds as carefully as possible and cleaned the areas where the birds were. John was very professional, prompt and follow-up was exceptional. We sincerely appreciate the exceptional service and care he took in taking care of the situation and our home. We plan to recommend Capital City Exterminating Co. to others and plan to use them again in the future.
Description of Work: We had birds in the air duct that needed removal. I contacted several companies and was recommended by one of the companies to contact Capital City Exterminating Company. I also verified their rating and recommendations on Angie's List where I found they have top ratings.

He was prompt and completed the job as he described it. He sent a map showing where the stakes were located and left a report when he came to check them in November, detailing what he found and where. He was very professional and friendly.
Description of Work: Mr. Belknap came out to give me an estimate. He did a very thorough job of explaining what he had found (termites) and his recommendation for treatment. He left some printed information and a DVD. I decided to get the work done and he was able to come out to install the Sentricon system 5 days later. He installed 23 in ground stakes/stations and 2 above ground stations. He answered my questions about damage to the house trim by termites. He came to inspect the stakes a month later and left a report. He will inspect the stakes and replace them if needed on a monthly basis April through November. The cost includes 2 years of treatments.

John came out quickly and resolved the problems professionally. He retreated with some heavier types of pesticides to rid our home of a carpenter ant problem around the exterior of the home. We haven't seen any more bugs in the home since this treatment. John was very helpful and reassuring that the problem would go away....he was right! Thank you, John for the great work!
Description of Work: John followed up our call to return because we still some bug activity following the initial treatment.

Job one: We found what appeared to be a roach inside the home and contacted Capital City Exterminating to see what was involved with interior spraying for cockroaches. He inspected it and said it was a water bug, commonly entering the home from the outside. He recommended an exterior perimeter pest spray instead. They scheduled it as soon as the weather cooperated. They sprayed 14' up and out from the base of the house. Their service was great, and so far, we haven't seen many pests inside. Job Two: We were getting millipedes in the basement. Capital City recommended spraying both interior and exterior, but due to indoor cats, and convenience, we requested exterior only. They said that would probably help quite a bit because the exterior spray for millipedes is concentrated at the foundation, but without spraying inside, it may not eradicate them. Within a day of spraying, there were significantly less millipedes; and within a week or two, they were gone.
Description of Work: Job one: Perimeter pest control spray. Cost: $175.00 Job two: Sprayed perimeter of house exterior for millipedes. Cost: $186.81

Job 1: It went great. I called and made an appointment. The exterminator showed up on time. He was very knowledgeable and explained what had happened and what I needed to do in the future. He put down the traps and literally that day I didn't see a mouse again. He came back once to change out the traps and explained the next steps and what I needed to do to keep the problem from re-occurring. Job 2: They are great. John came and explained the process and sprayed all the rooms, He explained that all of the current fleas would be dead, but that we might get another group of fleas that haven't yet been hatched, but that they would die as the product he used would last around 6 weeks. It went very smoothly.
Description of Work: Job 1: We had a mice problem. They were showing up in the kitchen. ($150) Job 2: We were getting bitten and didn't know what was going on. At first we thought it was bed bugs so Capital City came out and checked for bed bugs. They didn't find any but they did put down these sticky strips to see if it was anything else. A week or so later we figured it was fleas. We called them and they came the same week and worked with our schedule. ($225)

Due to water damage on ceiling tiles in the basement, I started to investigate where the water was coming from. I purchased this condo in 2004, built in 1965 with no known prior termite infestation. After pulling out the old spray foam around header, I found prior or current terminate/carpenter ant damage. I had small ants and winged ants in the area and what I thought was a possible terminate. I checked Angie's List and found many positive customer comments on Capital City Exterminating. Ron Belknap came over, checked the damaged area along with viewing both outside and inside the front and back foundation. He found no evidence of active termites which was wonderful. He could easily have sold me on an $800+ termite treatment but instead told me to keep an eye out for any new damage and showed me what to look for. I asked him what I could do about the ants and he proceeded to tell me that I could handle this problem myself. He sold me Bronide ($12.50) & instructed on how to proceed.

Very well. The woman who answered the phone when I called was very pleasant and set up an appointment that was convenient for me. The technician showed up right on time, looked over the nest and went to work. When he was finished he explained to me what he had done and what to expect over the next few days. They gave me a small Angie's List discount and a 30 day warranty on the removal.

Very well, John was very prompt, friendly and made sure that the bees and the ants were gone.
Description of Work: We noticed a few bees and the house and saw that they had built a nest behind the electric box outside and in a hole in the stucco. John Addair came out and gave us an estimate. We had him pump in the chemicals to kill the nest, he came back to make sure it was finished. We also talked about some anthills. He sprayed around the house and pumped chemicals down into the anthills. The bee extermination was about $125 (with a 5% Angie's list discount) and the ant treatment was about $175.

Representative John Addair, called ahead of my appointment time to advise that he could come earlier if I desired. He listened intently to my complaints of ants and spiders, and explained much about these critters and their behavior patterns. He then surveyed my home inside and out, identifying many areas of concern. He also noted evidence of other creatures which I didn't know I had. He showed me what to do to deter/eliminate future infestations, then offered to either begin spraying immediately or to return at another more convenient time. He first sprayed the basement, announcing when he was completed and providing an update as to how the bugs responded. He then sprayed the first floor before proceeding outside to spray the entire exterior. He let me know step by step what to expect. He was also adamant about calling him if any ants, spiders, bees or wasps were to return so he could come back to spray again. I called John upon referral by a neighbor. I couldn't be happier.

Jeff was slightly late, but I didn't really mind. When he got there, he immediately started by spraying the garage and then the basement. He also (very helpfully) called my attention to a hole in our basement which could allow mice or other pests into the house. I was very grateful he pointed that out, as we were not aware of it. He then went to spray the outside of the house, top to bottom, including our flower beds and deck. I am very hopeful that this type of service will prevent the large majority of pests for the following year (which is what they estimate), but of course, that remains to be seen. However, they did give me a 60-day warranty on the work (as well as the Angie's List 5% discount), and overall I feel confident that their method is the best pest control solution. It all went very quickly too! I think the whole visit took no more than half an hour.

They sent out the owner and he told us that the problem was not termites as suggested but a dust issue from a previous problem. Even the receptionist said the symptoms didn't sound like termites. They saved us $1300 and we're very grateful for that.

I knew I had termites in the house, so Ron came over to inspect and give me an estimate. He was quite helpful, explaining what he found and what he proposed as a solution to my infestation. His was not the cheapest or the most costly bid I received but I was most comfortable with his proposed solution and think that the price was good given what he proposed to do. When they came to install the termite control they worked with me to insure I was satisfied with the installation. He and the technician were prompt, courteous, and professional and I look forward to working with them as they continue to monitor for termite activity over the next two years. I expect to renew the contract after the initial two year period is over.
Description of Work: Ron inspected our house to determine the extent of the termite infestation and gave me a proposal based on what he found. They then came back and installed the Sentricon termite colony elimination system around the house, including two locations within the house where the termites had been most active. They will be back at regular intervals over the next two years to monitor for the presence of termites.

8/15/07- This is an update. While I appreciated their professionalism upon their initial visit, the problem I had with roaches is still not fixed. I have e-mailed them and called them, but no response. I refuse to pay until the service is completed. The job of removing roaches was not finished.
Description of Work: Roach Removal. Man came out and went straight to work. He was here for all of 20 minutes. We had an unfortunate roach problem due to buying some questionable furniture at a yard sale. He set traps in the basement, in both full bathrooms, and the kitchen. He promised the roaches would be gone in two weeks and if not, he would return at no price. We've seen fewer roaches with each passing day. I would use them again.

Response from Capital City Exterminating Co Inc
When the member initially called us and set up the treatment for roaches, he was told that there is no warranty on roach treatments and was even quoted a price if a second treatment was needed. Initial treatment was done on 7/6/07 and a check of our phone log records from that date on shows no calls from him until 8/14/07 and his complaint to Angie's List was made on 8/15/07. We also show no record of any emails from him on any date. The member was contacted on 8/23/07 and re-treatment was done on 8/24/07. At the time of the initial treatment, our service technician told all occupants of the home not to use any other pesticides as it would contaminate the gel roach bait (not traps) that he used. When he retreated the member told him that since he treated initially, he had been using Raid and had even used it the same day after he treated. As of this date 9/4/07 payment has not been received for this treatment.
