Terrible communication and very poor customer service. I communicated with them on multiple occasions that I was moving from the residence where I had services and a woman on the phone even said "No problem, we'll take care of this." Now I am receiving collections notices about unpaid balances with them from a property I NO LONGER OWN. Do not waste your time or money on this company. FYI - you can purchase all of the termite control supplies yourself for a fraction of the cost of their overpriced, low quality, services.

Great, Patrick was a bit late but he was facing rush hour traffic. He did a great job explaining both systems, when to have them refreshed and put us on an automatic refill program. Plus a discount for paying for the whole year up front; only $400 verses $600 on our old service. I would recommend them to anyone.

The pricing was an A because of what they did. We dealt with them on the phone and they were great.
Description of Work: My wife uses HomeTeam Pest Defense. I know they took care of it just recently in July. That was around $120. Actually, we had one more recent than that but it was like over $300 because we had some weird bug that was there that our neighbors were actually reporting to us that was in the yard, around the yard area and in the grass and stuff like that. That one was $326.

The service went fine, I have used them for almost five years and they come do the work without bothering me at all. One of the things I like about what they do is that they change the poison recipe up every 3 months to prevent the pests from becoming immune. I would recommend them to friends.

I have been using HomeTeam Pest Defense for the past 12 years and have been very happy with their service overall. The technician that did this inspection ( i don't remember his name) did an excellent job going throughout the crawl space inspecting very carefully all the areas. I accompanied him throughout this inspection and he was knowledgeable and pointed out things that might be beneficial to me to better understand how to look for and see if there is or has been any termite activity. He gave me the final report and pointed out the moisture readings, and made suggestions for helping to prevent termite problems. Again, must say a very helpful individual.

Good but use to be better. They return and can't find the termite stations and keep putting more and more in the yard. Also always deny the termites are covered in the service agreement.

The guys stay outside. All they do is, ask me to be sure that my dogs are inside. We have giant roaches here. When they treat it, it is fine. They have some sort of treatment where they don't really have to spray that smelly stuff. I don't know what they do outside, but no pets have gotten sick. I have three other pets. They just want them inside for safety reasons. I have some super termites and for those they do bait stations. They plant it in our yards and they check those every three months too to see if anybody has taken the bait then they do some other treatment for most of the termites. They don't do squirrels or raccoons. They keep up with the every three months and they call me just so that I will be able to bring the big dogs in. When I thought I had something in the attic they came and set some traps, but it turned out they were gone. They are very good. We don't pay extra if we have mice. I have had them for all the years I have had the house which is about 24 years.
Description of Work: I used Home Team Pest Defense for pest control services. They treat the giant roaches every three months. I also use them for my termite bond. They also come over if we have mice.

They are fantastic, they are very professional specially in terms of calling you and meeting the scheduled appointment. They are really good and I do recommend them because they always do a good job and they are very friendly.
Description of Work: HomeTeam Pest Defense are my favorite contractor and I have been using their services for five years now. They come once a month to do both termites and regular pest control. What they usually do is, they work on one month for the termites and one month for pest control. They also do inside spraying once a year and for the rest of the year, they work on the outside.

I would certainly recommend them. They came out when they were suppose to. The estimate they gave us was exactly what they charged us. We scheduled in June and they came out and did their work.
Description of Work: We use HomeTeam Pest Defense. We have a plan with them. They recently treated all of the termite boxes and made sure that they all had termite food in them. They also checked to make sure that we had no active bugs anywhere.

We've had no problems with them. They show up when they say they're going to show up and it did seem like they are pretty thorough. It was actually a brand new house that we moved into but because of the system the builder put in I think that's the only company that services it. I don't know whether they have a pattern on the system or what but we just with them. I don't really have anything to compare it to you but they have gone up a handful of times. We have not had any major issues. I think we've had a couple of times where we've had heavy rains and have some bugs kind off turn up in the house and they have been out right away to check it out and retreat it.
Description of Work: We currently use HomeTeam Pest Defense for pest control. The come out quarterly for outside spring and we also have termite service with them where they check the bathing stations and everything. In the particular builder's home that we are in, actually has a system that they put in which are like tubes inside the wall into which they actually put pesticides. We have stayed with them for about 8 years.

We are not happy with them. Their price started out reasonable and their service was up to around $800 a year. They had a separate termite inspection and they had a pest inspection and they sprayed for both. They charged us differently and it was done on a quarterly basis. They were there for maybe 20 minutes. They would initially send 2 guys out, but then as it got more expensive for them, they started sending out just one guy who would be done in 30 minutes. It kept getting more expensive and then we put that house up for sale. At that time we had a contract which was till January of this year and I asked them to skip the contract. If in April the contract does not go to anyone else, I will continue with them. They said it was okay. I never asked them to cancel my contract. They skipped that one. April came and I called them, but nobody showed up. Then they said they would send out a person for inspection, but they would have to charge me for a new contract. The person that handles the contracts claimed I had cancelled it. I turned around and another person said that the person I spoke to also said that I cancelled it; I could see what I was up against right then. Their prices were somewhat competitive overall, but once they get the work started they are a little bit pricey. They were always willing to come out whenever I asked them to.
Description of Work: We have used HomeTeam Pest Defense for pest control. They are both for termite and pest control.

See above statement as this is the result of one morning trying to get service restarted. I will obtain other source(s) of this type service.
Description of Work: Had requested to skip (or cancel) one appointment due to contract on selling home. They said it would be Ok to do so and I could restart on the next quarter scheduled appointment if contract did not work out. If it did work out and all was well I would start them on our new home. The contract to sell fell through as did another during that quarter. They would not restart on the next appointment as they claimed I cancelled the contract. I would have to pay for treatment, inspection and new bond. They are no longer our pest/termite control professionals. They were part of Centex homes originally and unknown now as Centex was taken over by Pulte Homes.

.They do both the termite and pest control for us. We are very happy with the work they do. They treat outside the home and will clean out wherever they see cobwebs. They don't spray inside the house there are tubes on the outside they they can spray into which helps to keep the inside treated. We are very happy with the way it all works out. We will keep using them.
