They come out when we call them. They seem to control the pests pretty well. We will continue to use them.
Description of Work: We use them for pest control. They come out three or four times a year or more if we call them out. We've used them for probably five years.

I actually don t use them anymore because I had an ant problem. I used them for two years but they were not able to remove any of the ants. They came on time, they were very professional, and they did what they said they were going to do as far as the regular maintenance program.

They came out right away and took care of the immediate problem. They also needed to come out before next scheduled time and came out right away and took care of problem. Always there when they say and do what they say and seem to manage the ant problem really well for us. I switched from another company because I had minimal relief from ants. When we discovered rats in the yard they came out right away and took care of that. They always check traps in return and call and respond to any calls immediately. I will never get rid of the ants but they seem to manage the problem really well!
Description of Work: Eliminating sugar ants from getting into the house and rats eating bird seed in the yard.

It's been good. They like to continue on a contract service sort of a deal. They come out pretty late in the season sometimes. The employees are all very respectful and things like that. They don't use too many chemicals.
Description of Work: Primarily, they sprayed the outside of the house for spiders and crane flies.

They are a very dependable company. They will usually come out the next day after we call them and need an emergency taken care of. The people are very friendly. They explain the chemicals they use so that way we don't have to worry if the chemicals are harmful or dangerous to any of our pets or children.
Description of Work: We pay Barrier $89 each time to come once every three months to do a routine pest spray around the exterior of our home. They will come out and take care of any emergency problems and they also will do an interior spray if we need something taken care of.

They appear to be doing alright so far. It takes a little bit for the treatments to work. We are under contract for a year so hopefully the job is taken care of by then. It seems to be working good so far.
Description of Work: They sprayed for most bugs and rats once and then they will do 4 more treatments.

I normally don't buy services that go door to door, but I happened to be outside doing some gardening and just a week before I had seen some carpenter ants back by my pond. The salesman was very nice and explained what they could treat. I was especially happy to see that they treated box elder bugs, which annoy me no end. So far, I haven't had any problems, but it may be too soon to fully tell. After each service they would leave a receipt with full details as to what they found and any suggestions to help prevent problems.
Description of Work: So far they have come out twice-- once for the initial treatment, which was $100 off at $65 or so. And then approximately a month later to treat the eggs, etc. That is the $89 treatment. They treated the outside of the house, sweeping wasp nests from my eves and spraying the perimeter. They found carpenter ants in my driveway so they thoroughly sprayed that. The next treatment will be in about 3 months.

The company shows up right on time and sprays around the exterior as a barrier to any pests. We have pets and the company uses materials which have not had any adverse effects on them. The company representatives are polite and work efficiently.

They came back when after 3 weeks the ants were not all dead. This visit was free. They men who came were courteous,informative and willing to please. The day I called for this re-visit, no one answered the phone. I left messages but didn't get a response until I called and left a message again the following day. This initially concerned me but they came through at the end.
Description of Work: We have a contract with Barrier to spray for ants and spiders. We agreed to pay an initial fee of $65 and will pay $89 for four more scheduled visits September, December, March, and then June. They promised to come back in between scheduled visits free of charge, if there are problems.

Dusty was professional and thorough. He sprayed in and around our house and dusted the attic space. He even removed a hornets nest. Ever since they sprayed our house we've seen a dramatic improvement. We have a year contract to continue the service. They did a great job and the price was reasonable compare to our previous company.

It was extremely benign and pleasant experience. The technician was right on time and very courteous and professional. Incidentally, the company does not seem to know about Angies list, so they are not trying to falsely impress customers.
Description of Work: I usually dont contract for work done when someone comes to the door, but this time I had a good feeling, the need was there, and I decided it would be ok without two more estimates. The first eradication call has been made, and I am very impressed. The technician was courteous, polite and considerate. He immediately removed his shoes before coming into the house. He carefully explained the procedure and allied any thoughts I had of poisons. The procedure inside was quick, quiet and did not smell. Outside the procedure has already yielded results, as I have been out sweeping up dead ants. The schedule of two months in a row and then quarterly makes sense. This is a very user friendly service, and so far, I have no complaints.

Barrier came through our neighborhood with an intro offer of $70. We had to commit to 4x over the next year at $89 a treatment. For all they did it was a good deal. They always call the day or two before coming out and they arrive on time. Each guy we talk to is friendly, helpful, and explains what it going on. Were impressed enough with Barrier to hire them to treat a second home, were purchasing. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Barrier inspected for critters inside and out, swept out the spider nests under the eves, treated for carpenter ants (some were in the area, none in the house), and they got rid of a couple of bees nests in the yard. They also treated inside the house (the cat got sick but it was her own dumb fault for licking the stuff) and they put down a barrier along the foundation. They also sprayed for spiders. Lots of work for the intro offer of $70.

Even though the initial quote seemed very reasonable, be careful because it was very misleading to me. The face to face conversation stressed a 90 day guarantee of work for their visits and work. But it was only when I questioned why, in viewing a schedule that my neighbor had signed up for, that I noticed there was another service visit the following month right after the initial visit, that the person told me the initial visit was only good for 30 days and they would need to come back the following month (for an additional $89) to deal with the "eggs" that would have hatched after their initial visit. Please, as one should with any service provider, ask a lot of questions so you fully understand what their services are and the warranty for "each" visit, the reasoning behind the schedule, etc.
Description of Work: I did not sign up.

I'm so impressed with this company. I actually got this name from a friend who has used them for years, and I must say that they do a great job. The technician that performed the work was so patient with my requests for spraying additional areas for carpenter ants - where he saw them as well, and searching for yellow jacket nests in my attic, as well as spraying in the crawl spaces and attic areas for extra pests. He used all the safety gear needed - respirators and gloves, and was very thorough in his approach. I have a year contract with them, and would highly recommend them above the other national brand companies.
Description of Work: Treated outside and inside home for carpenter ants, yellow jackets, silverfish and other pests. Not able to do termites.

THIS HAPPENED THREE OR FOUR TIMES, THEY WOULD SEND ME A BILL IN THE MAIL AND I DID NOT EVEN KNOW IF THEY WERE HERE. THEY DO THIS DURING THE DAY AND I AM NOT HERE DURING THE DAY. THEY WOULD SEND SOMEONE OUT AND THEY WOULD GO TO THE WRONG HOUSE AND THEN THEY FINALLY WENT TO THE RIGHT HOUSE. THE PEOPLE WERE NICE. THEY COULD NOT JUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.
