They come annually. They inspect the house for pest. I have a mouse problem. They sent someone out to set traps on the basement level, the main floors, and the attic. They will check them quarterly. They are very prompt, and professional. They did not try to oversell their services. They did not focus on things I did not ask them to.

We get a yearly warranty which covers termites and carpenter ants. They get out to you quickly, make themselves available and take care of the problem. Their responsiveness, friendliness is very good. We have to call them out twice so their quality of service is good.

They come out every couple of months for various things. I have contracts for a number of different things and they make regular visits. I really like the particular technician who comes to my house. They are very reliable. They back up their warranties I mean when I ask to use their warranty they'll stand behind it. I have no reason to change.

They call within an hour before they come within few days. They guarantee their work. They have programs for warranty up to six months. The prices are fair but their work is guaranteed. My boyfriend is very happy with them. My boyfriend has a business and they take care of the things there as well. I would use them in the future.

The guy came out and explained everything. He walked around the house and saw where the ants were. He was very thorough. He explained everything to me: where they were nesting, why they do what they do, why the products weren't working. He gave us an estimate and a couple options. They come back every year now. I wish they were cheaper, but I don't think other places would be cheaper.

After discovering a rodent in the house, I called and they set up an inspection for that same morning. In fact, the inspector arrived a bit early - about 45 minutes after I called. He was very thorough and checked the entire property. I had already started plugging a hole I had found and he told me that he could send out a tech, but all they would do is what I was already doing; plug up any access holes and place bait stations. He told me they had a retail store under the "big blue bug" and explained exactly what type of bait station to get and how much they cost. He noticed some carpenter ant signs and explained that it was nothing to be concerned about unless I see active signs during the winter. That means the nest is inside the house and would require treatment. Since we have not seen ants in the house he said treatment was not needed. Before he left he gave me 25 glue boards (for free) and was on his way. As I see it, he had two opportunities to soak me for service that was not really needed. Instead of taking advantage of the situation he simply explained everything I needed to do. That kind of customer service earns my trust and makes me very likely to call when I have another issue. I am confident I will be treated fairly. That afternoon I went to the retail store and talked to the man running the place; he was an entomologist and was also very helpful. After hearing my story he concurred with the inspector's evaluation and set me up with 2 outdoor bait stations and bait. The total was less than $50. He explained the life cycle of carpenter ants and confirmed the inspector's conclusion for that as well. As I checked out I noticed a certificate from Angie's List displayed on the wall. Well deserved, in my opinion.

It is a contracted service. They come in spring to do a survey and set mouse traps around. They come few times a year to check them. It is a fact that they keep coming back because it is a contracted service. Other companies do the same. The work has turned out well. We have not had any problems since they came. I have not compared the prices.
Description of Work: New England Pest Control is a pest control service we have been using for about 20 years. They were here in September.

A salesman was able to come ot the house several days after I first called. He was excellent - very observant and knowledgeable about insects and treatments. He not only noticed all of the insect nests outside the house, but made knowledgeable observations about our lawn, our boiler model, etc. He was very pleasant. He told us that there is no preventive for wasps, etc, but they will take down all the nests and come back any time we see new ones. We signed the contract. Today, about two weeks later, the technician showed up. He did a pretty good job spraying inside the house. Outside, I had to point out all the nests we had found. Apparently the salesman does not communicate his findings with the person who actually does the job. Then all he did was spray them with something in a spray can, wait until the wasps were dead, and knock the nest down. We could have done that ourselves. He was rather awkward and had to make two trips to his truck before he got the proper tools. I noticed some little white globes above a window, and he said those were spider eggs, and the homeowner has to take them down - he said that's company policy. He said if they vacuumed up cobwebs, they'd be there all day (even though we had hired them because of a spider problem!). I am very disappointed, and feel it was not worth the money.
Description of Work: Treat inside and outside, primarily for wasps, hornets, and spiders.

Very prompt response to inquiry. They were able to do an inspection quickly and could accommodate my schedule. They returned quickly to perform the service. Still a little soon to tell if it was completely effective, but will update the report when we know.

I thought Tony, the owner of this company was wonderful. He took the time to talk to me at no cost, so that I gained knowledge about pest control in my home. He did not rush me and answered my questions, even though he was not making money at that current point in time. I now see why this company has a great reputation. Tony told me he spends his days going to pest control conferences and talks around the country. He really knows his stuff. I will be giving my pest control business to this company in the future. My experience with this company to date, has been absolutely fantastic.
Description of Work: The Big Blue Bug spoke with me over the phone about estimates for doing bug control, at my 1200 square foot home. I spent time having several cost-free conversations with Tony, the owner, about things I should be looking for and expecting out of a bug control company.
