I signed a contract with Cherry City for service every other month for a year. His prices are good and he is as good as his word, coming back at no charge when my darned ants showed up again in the back of the house. He comes quickly when you need him, he's very professional and also friendly. I would recommend him.
Description of Work: He came back because I had a resurgance of ants in my sunroom.

The whole thing was good, it was one of the things where you have to wait and see, it did not seem that he was here a long time and I didn't know how much of the furniture have to be moved and all that but like I said we never had any flea issues since. He was real helpful and knowledgeable. He recommended what shampoos to bath our dog with. He gave us good general knowledge for the different areas of it. I give them good positive comments and I'm very satisfied.

The provider set traps underneath and beside the house. Everything worked well. The rats left the vicinity before dying, just as planned. After the rats were gone, I upgraded a screen at the crawlspace so that there were no return visitors.

I signed a yearly contract to have bi-monthly external spray around the house and to eliminate a rat infestation under the house. Initially Sheldon did a good job getting rid of the rats. The external spray was another story. He said he would leave an invoice on the door when he had serviced the house. He only left one invoice the entire year. I never knew if he had come or not. He would generally return phone calls same day but you never reached a live person on the phone. He had left bait traps around the house for some months which was fine but then when he removed them there was no communication. There was no communication when my contract expired. I feel I was cheated on services because if I didn't call then he didn't come to service my home, even though the contract stated he would. I would not reccomend this company to anyone else.

I called explaining the flea investation caused by renters who brought in chickens. I agreed to one chicken, and when they left, there were 12 chickens. Renters also brought a cat into the house! Between the chickens outside and the cat inside, there were fleas. Bad situation. I called Cherry City Pest Control. They came the next day and again 2 weeks later. Bad story, happy ending
Description of Work: Service provided flea removal inside the home as well as outside (.89 acre!). They also returned and did a second treatment with no charge. No fleas now!!

As I have a yearly contract with Cherry City, I call them when I have a bug infestation. The weekend before, I had ants in my kitchen....LOTS of them. I called Sheldon and on Tuesday he came out and put the bait where they (the ants) would get it. Worked like a charm..two days later the counter had a lot of dead ants on it and I have not seen any more since he put the bait out. He has been my pest exterminator for a couple years and I am totally satisfied with his work.

When I saw ants coming under the kitchen window sill, I was concerned that they might be in the walls. I called a company that I had used before and found it would be a two week wait before they could come. I checked on Angie's List and found that Cherry City Pest Control had excellent ratings, so I called. Sheldon came that same morning, checked inside and out thoroughly, and applied bait everywhere there was a sign of ant activity. He came back the following Monday to spray. He came yesterday last Friday after I called to say I had seen ants and said he didn't think more bait was needed. He came back again today (June 25) to check and found no signs of ants. He sprayed the perimeter once more as a pre caution. I took out an annual contract which was $150 for the initial service and $350 for bi monthly visits. The total was $450 after a 10% discount was applied. Sheldon is easy to reach by phone and quick to respond. I do recommend him to others.

I had called another pest control company and they couldn't come out for a week and a half. I called Cherry City and Sheldon answered the phone himself and was at my house within 4 hours taking care of the ants in my kitchen and spraying for spiders. The price seems fair for the length of contract and he is super nice! Very happy I called.

Their service has gone very well. Their price was a pretty high, but they were highly recommended and their work is good. Their price is satisfactory, but it could be a lot better. Everything else is just fine.

We had a contract with him that he would visit four times a year and I have maybe scene him once. He said he would leave cards, no cards were left. Also, we told him to not spray an area and I think he sprayed it with everything he had.

The owner came by and did a free diagnosis of our problem of bark dust termites. He was very honest about the fact that nothing can be done about them. I also asked him about ants, and he said there was basically nothing that can be done with "sidewalk ants"......the ones that leave the little piles of sand. But that he could help with the sugar ants inside of the house. I'll speak with my husband, but the prices he quoted seemed reasonable. I would definitely use this business again, and with my short dealing with him today, I would highly recommend this business to others.

The treatment worked just as he described and I feel like we got a very good value for our money spent. I feel reassured that he will come back 4 more times to spray for carpenter ants as new ones try to enter. He left us his contact information and assured us we could call back any time during the year if we see bugs.
Description of Work: Inspected for carpenter ants, and explained the treatment options. Sheldon drilled and treated around the perimeter of the house and did a very tidy job of caulking the small holes. He explained that no annual contract was required, but since we live in the woods it would be difficult to keep ants from coming back without periodic perimeter spraying. He was very knowledgeable about what works and doesn't work. We chose to sign an annual contract for followup treatments, but I felt no pressure to go on contract.

We chose Cherry City Pest Control because of their high ratings. If I could, I would give Cherry City Pest Control an A+ in all categories. We had a carpenter ant problem and although it has been only two weeks, they have disappeared. There was no pressure to commit to a pest control contract of any sort. In fact, we were told that because we were only troubled with carpenter ants, it wasn't necessary. If we see any more carpenter ants within a year, we are simply to call and there would not be an additional charge for a return visit. We are happy, happy, happy and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cherry City Pest Control.
Description of Work: Cherry City Pest Control treated our house for carpenter ants. Discrete small holes were drilled into the walls via the under lower edge of the siding and chemicals were infused. The holes can not be seen unless you get down on your hands and knees and look for them.

He is a very nice and friendly guy. He answers every call and responds to every need you have. We still have ants but I know that it's not his fault. His price is good. He is not expensive. I would recommend him. He is an exterminator. He responds very well. I'm using him currently.
Description of Work: I'm working with Cherry City Pest Control. The ants are terrible here. I'm having trouble getting rid of the ants. He first did one treatment and has come back numerous times. Last time I was in contact with him was on Tuesday. You pay an upfront amount, I think for a year. He comes back every three months to apply the spray.

Evaluated problem areas for ants and seemed very knowledgable regarding ant habits and likes and dislikes. Explained pros and cons of different treatments. Advised a course of action and recommendations for ongoing pest maintenance. He called in around a week to check how the treatment was going. Treatments seem very successful so far and I am also glad that we signed up for quarterly maintenace.

Sheldon arrived on time and inspected the area, then gave me a quote. Very personable and affordable. He really knew what to do and was very professional. The first thing he did was set out snap traps as well as bait traps. He returned every few days to inspect the traps and when we no longer had any mice in the snap traps, he said he would be back for the semi-monthly pest control. Outstanding job.
Description of Work: Initial mice removal and then 1 year maintenance for all pest control.

I found this company on Angie's list when I had sugar ants in my kitchen. Sheldon came right out, explained his work, and fixed the problem. I signed up for year-round work and other than one extra return visit for the ant problem, I have had NO pests in my house. He does the work monthly, leaves me a note of what he did, and the pests stay away! I will definitely keep hiring him. He is knowledgeable and very professional.

Sheldon was very professional and helpful in his explaination of what needed to be done to treat our home for carpenter ants. Initially he did an estimate of services and explained the options. Then he scheduled a treatment appointment. He was very flexible in his scheduling. We had to reschedule several times because of our schedules. He arrived promptly on the day of service. Sheldon was able to drill at an angle under the siding so you couldn't see the holes that the chemical was sprayed into. Holes were drilled about every couple of feet where he sprayed the treatment chemical. He also came into the house and sprayed along baseboards and thoroughly in basement spaces. It was around 2 hours to complete the job on an over 5000 sq ft home. He had an invoice printed up to present at completion of his work. Overall it was painfree excellent experience. He explained that it could take as long as 6 weeks for the ants to get flushed out of the walls. He sprayed outside along the base of the cement foundation as well so the ants don't re enter the home.

He explained to me what he was going to do and explained the pricing. I signed up for the year round plan. By paying up front for it, I got a 10% discount. He sprayed for ants along all the inside walls and outside walls. He put some additional bait in the kitchen. It is now less than 48 hours later and the ant population is down by 99%, He will return every other month for a year and will come in between if I call him.

Sheldon came was very professional, gave estimate and performed the exact service he agreed. We did a year's contract with him and I waited a couple of months to see if he would honor the agreement before writing the review. He has so far fulfilled his agreement and we have 8 more months to go. We have no problem with ants. I would recommend Sheldon to anyone.

All went as expected. I have full confidence in the service that we paid for and compared to other companies quotes, I am satisified.
Description of Work: Complete exterior wall (in wall) treatment for carpenter ants. Also sprayed a 3' band around house and out buildings and treated all exterior wall baseboards inside (Oh, his chemestry is safe and odorless). Also did termite inspection in crawl space and treated crawl space for pests. Price includes bi-monthly treatments and spot treatments as needed if we see activity. Sheldon has also offered to do a fog treatment of the interior of the house and attic space when we will not be in the house for 4+ hours. His treatment addresses all usual bugs (ants, spiders, silverfish, etc). He gave a complete explination of what to expect after his inital treatment and gave me the confidence that we will not be experiencing the typical ant intrusion as we have in the past. Carpenter ant activity gone! Dead bugs scattered around the house, yea! Creepy crawlies BAD, dead bugs GOOD. Cherry City Pest Control - VERY GOOD ! ! !
