They were pretty quick to come out. They did tell me about their service plans; but they did not push me about it. They were pretty good. One guy came out at least two times to make sure things were going right. The woman who came out to spray for the carpenter ants was very nice. She did a good job. He gave me the metal mesh to put around the cracks because mice will not chew it, and they cannot get in.
Description of Work: I used Griggs & Browne Co Inc to get rid of four squirrels in my attic about two weeks ago. They have been around for many years. They also came in to spray for the carpenter ants. They set out the traps for the mice.

I called Griggs and Browne when I noticed about twice as many carpenter ants in the house as I'd seen last year. They sent an inspector out. He inspected the property inside and out, and didn't find any evidence of actual carpenter ant infestation. I said I didn't want the ants to get a foothold anywhere. We decided to do a one time prophylactic treatment that would last for 3 months. The inspector scheduled a technician who arrived promptly a few days later and did the job. While he was spraying he discovered vulnerabilities in my foundation - holes where rodents could get in. He was very informative about how to deal with all the areas of concern. I will take his sound advice and seal the place up before the fall.
Description of Work: My house was inspected for carpenter ants by one gentleman and then treated by another technician a few days later.

I would opt not to use this company in the future. They found carpenter ants in our garage, but they did not think to look for pests in the woodpile located in our yard. They also failed to look for carpenter ants outside of the garage area where they located them. They could stand to improve upon the thoroughness of their work. You get exactly what you would expect to from an average contractor, or even slightly less. They will show up but they might not do everything they're supposed to. You basically have to step up and monitor like they are doing to make sure everything is done correctly and accurately.
Description of Work: Griggs and Brown inspected my 1200 square foot home for termites and carpenter ants.

I am sorry to say that they were not very thorough in their inspection. They missed a major mold problem starting where the deck attached to the house and going all the way up the wall underneath the siding. There was a small black dot on the exterior of the house my own handyman noticed right away, but then it was my problem to fix, not the prior owners. I do not recommend them.
Description of Work: They inspected my 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1500 square foot home before we purchased it. They checked for any safety issues, any damage to the framing structure, cement foundation, roof or any other issues.
