Description of Work: Rob Winters, the owner, inspected my house for bats. I called Akron Pest Control, and they recommended Rob, since they do not deal with bats. I called Rob, and left a voice message, and he PROMPTLY returned my call. He gave me a lot of information about bats. I hired Rob Winters to go to my mothers house in Akron to inspect it for bats. I looked up his company on face book and Angie's List. He was a member of Angie's List, but did not have any reviews. I was hesitant to use him without any reviews, since there were other companies with A ratings on Angie's List. I called three other companies, but felt that Rob was the most professional & knowledgeable on the phone that I decided to keep the appointment. I liked his Facebook page showing his family. I scheduled an appointment for the same day, and Rob arrived promptly on time. Rob spent approx. 1 hour thoroughly inspecting the inside of my mom's house, and he also went outside of her house to inspect for entry points where the bats would have entered. He noticed areas that squirrels and raccoons could enter, but did not pressure my mom to have him fix it. He was very professional and polite. She is a senior citizen, and she felt very comfortable with him. He was very knowledgeable; he explained a lot about bats and where they might be entering her home. He did not try to sell her services that she did not need. He did not find the bat, but said he would come back within 7 days anytime 24/7 at no additional charge. I would highly recommend him, and will use his services again if we have another problem with any pests. He talked to me (the daughter) before and after the appointment, and texted me several times to answer questions and keep me informed. He is a true professional. He knows about bats!
