The owner was very friendly. I do wish they had been able to remove the giant hornet nest as I am afraid it will simply attract other stinging bugs. Aside from that all was great.
Description of Work: They came out and sprayed to get rid of hornets/ wasps.

I appreciate your kind comments. We aim to please and the nest should have been removed (depending on height). We'd be more than happy to follow up on that at no charge. Feel free to give me a call. Thanks!

If I have a problem they will come back. I feel their pricing is fair. They are always here when they say they will be. I would use them again in the future if I needed to.
Description of Work: I use HumBug Pest Control for pest control and exterminating. They just spray the perimeter all the time. I did have a problem with mites that were coming through one particular window area, and they came right out and took care of that for me.

They seemed okay, but we are not using them anymore because we got mad about the guy for making me get up on the roof and stuff to do some of the spraying. They didn’t make me do it, but I wanted it done and he wasn’t going up there himself to the second floor for spraying around windows and stuff. We were trying to do some sort of Japanese beetle prevention thing. They were reasonably priced. After I got up on the roof and sprayed, I got some of the spray on me and that concerned my wife because of the poison spilt on me. The guy didn’t have the ladder or equipment to get to the second floor to spray. So, my wife got mad at them. Then they said that they were giving us their best price, but would go up from $85 to $125 later on. That kind of put me off and we haven’t found a new company yet. I have been spraying myself with the insecticides that I bought from a particular store. We might even call them back because they were friendly enough. They might have got rid of the operator by now. He wasn’t the owner. He was middle aged, but maybe a little overweight. So, he wasn’t too good in climbing. I haven’t had an experience with another company in the area yet, but we thought it was a good price. They just said that they would charge us more the next time. We first went for bimonthly and it was $85 for the treatment to begin with. Then they were going to come back for $55 every couple of months. Then there was a special treatment for the Japanese beetles and they wanted $85 for it. Then they said that if we wanted them out the next time, they would be charging us $125 because we weren’t satisfied that they weren’t doing the second floor. It’s almost like the third floor. They were here on time. They were professional as far as dealing with people, not drinking on the job and so forth was concerned.
Description of Work: We used the services of Humbug Pest Control in the summer of 2010. They did pest control treatment and Japanese beetle prevention.

Member, if you ever need us back to help you out I'd be more than happy to make you experience a positive one. I am the new owner of the company and while I appreciate the good grade I don't want you to have a bad experience. Give us a call and I'd be more than happy to make it right for you with a free service to start and straight forward pricing from then on. Thank you for your business and your honesty, Clay Elledge
