Description of Work: I've been using American Exterminating for 25 years and have never had a problem. They are wonderful to work with and charge a very reasonable rate. In addition to exterminating, they have installed a sump pump, put down plastic and replaced the vents in my crawl space.

We had a major water problem under our home when we got a lot of rain. We contacted American Exterminating Co. and Phill Pearson, the owner, came out twice to explain what we needed to do to solve the problem in his professional opinion. We had also contacted other resources for input but we felt American Exterminating Co would do the best job. We had a crew of 4 men who worked on the project for three full days I might add that the crawl space is very close the the ground. They all were very professional and knew exactly what needed to be done. You could also tell they enjoyed working with each other. At the end of the job they asked us to go under the house to inspect their work since they prided themselves on their work. The next day Phill Pearson came out again and went under the house to inspect the work as a follow-up. The final cost fell within the estimate we were given ahead of the work being done and they also gave us a veteran discount. We are confident the work will solve our water problem for many years to come. I would not hesitate to use American Exterminating again for other projects and woulld highly recommend this company to others.

Description of Work: I used these folks the first time at my home to spray for all types of bugs but specifically ants at that time. After they sprayed I saw more ants than I ever had and when I called them, I was told they would have to investigate it and return to spray more. I then used them on one of my rental units for fleas from a prior tenant's cat. They told me they would need to have the home vacated so they could spray and fog the home for $125. I arranged it with the tenants. A week after the service the tenants called and said the fleas were not even affected by the service and so we called another service which came and sprayed for about the same amount and the fleas were gone. Now I am not an exterminator and probably would not have done this review if when I called American to cancel the quarterly visits to my home, he had not gotten so upset and hung up on me. What goes around, comes around.

Response from AMERICAN EXTERMINATING CO
As a business owner, it is very difficult to please everyone, but we do try. This particular customer was one of those. He mentioned that I hung-up on him, that simply was not the case. On the issue of his property he , accused us of spraying "sugarwater", which I found very insulting. As to the other property, we did not recieve a complaint till he called to cancel the service. In discusions with him I made it clear to him that we would do whatever it takes to get control of his problem but obviously this proved to be of no effect.

We have been using them for probably more than ten years. We pay them the same amount most of the time.
Description of Work: We use the service of American Exterminating Co for pest control. They come out once a year and do termite inspection. I last used their service in December.

Being relatively new to the area I didn't know what Pest Control company to call when I started to see a few insects in my home. I looked here at Angie's List hoping for some guidance and wasn't encouraged. It seems most pest control companies want you to sign a long term contract these days and I was not interested in doing that. I just wanted dead bugs, now. We called American Exterminators though there wasn't a review written for them as of yet. I was willing to try them with no report available rather than call any of the ones reviewed here for one reason or another. I decided I'd just chance it. I am happy to say the guys came and while one sprayed under the crawl space and all around the outside of the house the other gentleman sprayed my entire home. He was very thorough and very professional. I will know soon enough if the bugs are gone but I can say right now I was happy with the curtsey shown me and my home and the professional manner of the service. I feel the total cost of $125 was a good value for the services rendered. I would not hesitate to recommend this service to my family or neighbors. Thank you American Exterminators for sending such professional people to my home.
Description of Work: Two servicemen came and while one serviced under and around the outside of the house the other sprayed the interior of the home for pest control.
