The service provider (Robert) was wonderful. He was prompt and called before he arrived. We discussed my concerns and he answered all of my questions. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. This company has been around for 30 plus years and it is understandable why they came so highly recommended to me. I would definitely recommend them to family and friends. There is also a warranty for their service and I truly appreciated his honesty and friendliness.
Description of Work: This company was excellent! The provider that came out to exterminate for carpenter bees and for insects in general. He did an excellent job instructing me on where he was going to spray and the process involved. He was prompt and very polite. The chemical he used was safe to humans and to pets.

It was terrible. They first sprayed the whole building. Never checked to see if bed bugs was still there. We called again the next week. The problem with cooks is they sprayed but did not care if the bugs were gone. Some tenants had their apartments sprayed as much as 5 times. That tenant finally moved out because her baby was kicked out of daycare because they found a bed bug on her. The baby in another apartment kept getting bit. When we finally called cooks to see what we can do the office staff did not think it was important to tell anybody right away. Our bed bug problem was not there problem. They did a horrible job and most of all took our money and never cared if we were satisfied. As long as they had our money.
Description of Work: We used them to get rid of bedbugs in our apartment building. They sprayed so many times. Never checked backed to see if bed bugs were gone. The 30 days had passed and the bedbugs were worse then ever. Tenants were throwing their furniture away. Poor customer service-the office staff was terrible. They did not care if we called weekly for complaints. They did not even care if we still had bed bugs. I had to hire another company.

The price was reasonable. I have used them couple of times and I have been very happy with them. They don't do a like a bunch of stuff, they do only what's necessary. They are very prompt; when they want to come out they come out and get the job done. If they have to come back out, sometimes because of the swing they do it, I can't remember with a reduced rate or free. They make sure everything is taken care of. They are upfront.
Description of Work: I have used the services of Cook's Termite & Pest Control. Last time around, they sprayed our swing set for the carpenter bees.

Once when I was having basement waterproofing done, Cook's Termite came out and retreated the soil, free of charge (part of the annual program). I could not be more happy with a company that takes its commitment to customers seriously.
Description of Work: For my annual inspection, Robert Downer covered the entire interior and exterior of my house and garage. We have had annual inspections for 20 years with this company, and Robert Downer remembers the old owners as well. He explains what is worrisome and what is no big deal. I enjoy seeing the termite inspection through his eyes.

We had used Cook's at our previous house and were very happy with their service. We decided that we needed a termite inspection and spraying at our new houme. Asked if the person who serviced our old house was available and he was. He has been with Cook's for 20+ years. He rememered us and our dog's name. Did the inspection and found no signs of termites. Sprayed the house for the common bugs we were starting to see. Have not had anymore bugs. Cook's is a very professional company and we will continue to have them inspect our house.
Description of Work: Had the house inspected for termites and sprayed for bugs.

They are pretty thorough. They drill some holes to treat the ants, and put in some stuff to kill the ants. The inspector who came could find only the ants, and not the termites. They went around methodically searching each area to see where the bugs were and where they weren't. They only treated the areas if they found had anything in it. They were easy to work with.
Description of Work: We hired Cook's Termite & Pest Control on 12 of this month to treat the carpenter ants in the house. They also found termites during the process.

They performed the services OK but, their front office staff is too difficult to work with. The gal that answers the phone was flat out rude on the phone regarding setting up for service. I got passed off to the owners daughter and got the impression I was wasting her time. She said the owner(her dad)is having some health issues and they are struggling to make ends meet. I suspect the business is on the verge of shutting down. Buyer beware. I went with another higher rated Angie's list company.

Response from Cook's Termite & Pest Control
THIS "CUSTOMER" IS A REAL ESTATE AGENT. HE DID NOT CONTRACT THE SERVICE THIS REPORT IS BASED ON. HE IS USING THIS FORUM TO RETALIATE BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT AGREE TO ADVERTISE IN A PROGRAM WITHIN HIS CIRCLE OF CONTACTS. WE DO NOT PAY TO BE ON A PREFERRED LIST. WE ARE SOLICITED VERY OFTEN BY REAL ESTATE AGENTS AND WE ALWAYS DECLINE. WE PREFER TO REMAIN INDEPENDENT OF REALTOR INFLUENCE WITHIN OUR BUSINESS DEALINGS WITH THE PUBLIC. THE MEMBER REFUSED TO TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER. I INFORMED THE MEMBER I WAS NOT INTERESTED IN HIS "BUSINESS PROPOSAL." HE WAS OFFENDED AND CHOSE TO TAKE A CONDESCENDING TONE. WHEN CONDESCENSION FAILED TO CHANGE MY MIND HE RESORTED TO INSULTS AND INNUENDOS REGARDING THE STABILITY OF THIS COMPANY. HE DEMANDED TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER. WHEN HE WAS TOLD THE OWNER WAS NOT AVAILABLE HE DEMANDED A HOME PHONE NUMBER FOR HIM. I WOULD NOT GIVE THE MEMBER THE OWNER'S HOME PHONE NUMBER. I TOLD HIM MR. COOK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LUNG CANCER AND WAS AT THAT TIME IN THE HOSPITAL UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY. THE MEMBER HAS DEMONSTRATED INCREDIBLY POOR TASTE AND TRUE UNPROFESSIONALISM BY MAKING MR. COOK'S ILLNESS A PART OF HIS "COMPLAINT." HE FURTHER DISPLAYS HIS LACK OF INTEGRITY BY USING MR. COOK'S ILLNESS AS A MEANS TO PUT QUESTIONS/DOUBTS IN THE MINDS OF READERS OF HIS REPORT REGARDING THE STABILITY OF THIS COMPANY. HE HAS STEPPED OVER THE LINE BY USING THIS FORUM TO INTENTIONALLY MISREPRESENT THE FACTS AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF.

We had a termite inspection performed by another company who found carpenter bees at one home and carpenter ants at another home. We hired Cook's to do the treatment at both homes. The technician was friendly and the treatments were performed as scheduled. I didn't fill in the cost for the jobs since I am reporting about two different homes on one report, but it seemed fair and competitive.
Description of Work: Treated two different rental properties we recently purchased. One for carpenter ants and the other for carpenter bees.

Robert was on time, with a call 1/2 half hour before to let me know he was on his way.
Description of Work: I called to obtain a routine termite inspection. Robert came out on time and did a fantastic job explaining what the inspection entailed and what to look for. He even looked over my initial home inspection report to make sure I was not still on a warranty. He took the time to explain everything to me. He did a great job!
