The Bed Bug treatment itself was effective. almost 2 months later there are no signs of bed bugs. The problem is that when they did the treatment, one of their technician's stole a firearm from my home. No one at Russell's seems to care. I filed a police report, but there are no witnesses, so not much can be done. And because i signed a piece of paper saying i removed all such items from my house, i have no recourse. It was a mistake that i left it behind, but apparently because i signed a piece of paper, Russell's Pest Control Technicians are free to steal from me? also missing was a cheap necklace. apparently it looked real, so they took that too. Again, no one at Russell's Pest Control seems to care being as they already got their thousands of dollars for the treatment.

During huge rain storm, we had a horde of termites suddenly emerge from under a floor board into our living room. Called several termite companies, selected Russells. They were able to inject termite poison into the foundations of our house without drilling into our patio. After a year we have seen no termites. NONE! very good job.

They could do a better job of doing the inside of the home more frequently. They only do it once-a-year or on request. I do not think you can attack that type of job from the outside. I think you have to do it on the outside and the inside.

We have had Russells termite protection for a number of years and were satisfied until we purchased a much larger home and have a termite protection plan with another company for about 1/5 the cost. I'm sure the canisters and termite bait are expensive, but $300 a year is a bit much for me comparatively speaking.

The service from Russell's was very excellent. They were very sympathetic and helpful. And most importantly, no more fleas!
Description of Work: I had a terrible flea problem inside my house after my dog got infected. The technician (Ben, maybe?) came and sprayed the house very quickly after calling. He also gave us a great plan for vacuuming and other critical activities that are necessary to insure fleas do not return.

It started with my husband & I getting everything up off the floor that didn't belong there. Once the guy showed up he spoke to us about the process. He would go through and spray all carpeted areas & we had to be out of the house for 4 hours due to the chemical smell & it also needed time to dry. We had already tried all the flea medicines for the dogs & flea sprays for the carpets & nothing was working. This stuff did the trick, the fleas are finally gone in the house, but I think I still need to have the yard treated.
Description of Work: I had to have my house exterminated due to fleas!

There were bugs in my kitchen and when I told Russell's Pest Control about them they said "You don't have to worry about them, those are called unidentified crawling objects". Then I was advised by my friend to change them and then the new company came and got rid of the bugs. I was not happy with the Russells. I will never use them. I rather not see them again.
Description of Work: I have used Russell's Pest Control about a year ago and I am not happy with them at all. I had to change the company.

If I have a problem, they come right out and fix it, and they have been very, very good. For example, if I have ants in my house, they are here in a jiffy, and they get it fixed at no extra charge. They guarantee that I won’t have these things, and if I do, they come and correct them right away. I have never had any problems with them.

They did not call me when they came back the second time, so they did not come inside for treatment. They did leave another note saying they could not get inside again, and I did not have an appointment. I called them, and they did not have my phone number correct. They have also sent me a bill for services that they have not even provided yet. Based on how things have gone so far I would not use them again once my contract is finished.
Description of Work: They did an initial treatment of my home inside and out. We signed a one-year contract with them.

They are so good! They are like my best friend and I could not say enough good things about this company! If you have any kind of problem at all they come out to fix it right away. We have had them for four years and they are the most wonderful company ever. The same man comes out every time and he is just so polite.
Description of Work: He is coming out today to spray for some bugs as we are having a problem. They usually do our termite control as well as our routine spraying every 3 months.

I’ve been using them for a couple of years. I pay $70 for the quarterly spraying and it was $300 for 3 or 4 years for the termites. I really like them. They are very good. It has been the same lady that has sprayed for me all the time and she is very nice and does a very good job. The price is normal. They were willing to break it down over a period of years or months so they work with me. I've never had any issues.

It’s probably good that I haven’t used them in three years because that means I don’t have pests. I like them and the price was very reasonable. They told us how to maintain it; they’re really not after my money, they are really there to help fix the problem. I would recommend them to a friend and I would tell them that they don’t need to get into a one year agreement. They’ll come out and assess it. They are fair, they know what they are talking about and they are there to fix the problem and not necessarily drain your budget. If I need help again, I would absolutely use them.
Description of Work: I used Russell’s Pest Control about three years ago. My mother and my whole family use them. We had an infestation of some kind of beetle that seemed to be in food products. They identified it and helped us eradicate it.
