the whole thing took just a few minutes and required absolutely no involvement on my part. I just showed where the nest was, and it was cleaned out very nicely and quickly. The guy seemed eager to sell me additional services that I did not need, but a simple "no thank you" was enough, so it was not a problem at all.

Called the week before and made an appointment. They called me the day of the appointment and explained there had been an over time issue on the job ahead of me and they were going to be a little late. Arrived and got the whole job done in less than 3 hours.
Description of Work: Complete flea control inside the house and all over the yard. They were a little late for the appointment but the service was well done and the total experience was a real positive!!

This is my second round of using a pest control company this year. Although the young man they sent reassured me several times that outside entry ways to the attic were secure, I continue to hear the familiar noises both in the attic and inside my bedroom wall. One thing I did notice, was that the man who came here each time seemed always in a hurry to leave. Maybe he was busy with other jobs. I had two fruit trees cut down and two large trees in my front yard cut back to minimize squirrels jumping onto my roof. This action was not advice given to me; I decided to become more proactive in removing incentives for rats to come by and stay. Was told by the owner of this company there is a rat epidemic in the metro area. Not sure if that is true or just a scare tactic. The last treatment was done 11/30 and I was told this is likely the last time I would need them to come by. Well, that's true, since I don't want them back. I do not know what the alternative is in dealing with this problem other than have my home formally inspected to find out how the critters are getting in and then hire someone to replace/fix the weak areas. After that, I can put out my own traps and poison.
Description of Work: Treat attic for roof rats and squirrels. They used baited snap traaps in the attic and bait boxes outside.

We have been hearing rats in our attic at night. Called Metro Pest Control and talked to the owner at 8 am on a Tuesday. I explained what was going on and he provided some information about the best way to help manage rats. He told me he could have somebody come out that same day before 2 pm. They called in advance and showed up by 11:30. Keith, the technician, was very helpful and informative. He pointed out several possible entry points that rats may be getting into my attic and gave me suggestions for how to seal them up. He placed 4 bait stations around the perimeter of the house, and set 3 snap traps in the attic. The quote I was given in the morning matched exactly what I was charged and feel the value for what I paid was very good. I am now considing hiring Metro Pest Control for my regular bug spraying service as well.

This company has been my one and only for years. This particular event was for a cluttered property leased by a patient/ friend in need. I know the price charged was way below the rate normally expected and the job was especially challenging. The gentlemen were prompt, thorough as possible and courteous as always. I am grateful.

Considering all the hassle with communication, I would say that overall, I am dissatisfied with Metro Pest Control. They did get rid of the rats, but it took a lot of effort on my part. The pricing was not 100% upfront, and clear.
Description of Work: Metro inspected for rodents, and found activity outside my home. They set bait stations and a trap in my garage, and said they would inspect on a regular basis, and rebait the stations. They did that twice, and then just quit coming, and/or checking. The communication was poor, and erratic. I had to keep calling them to get the issue resolved. The rats did go away or die, so that part of the service was ok. Also the price kept changing from the beginning.

quick, honest, friendly and reasonably priced
Description of Work: I had two nationally branded services come out to do an estimate. I had NO idea whether I had termites or whatever. One told me I would be eligible for a 3 year contract at only $590/year, the other was $900 including full inspection and quick fix. So, I looked up Metro on Angie's List and called Bob (owner) who got me an appointment the next day (today). Keith came out and immediately told me (from the residual insect stuff on the floor) that I only had carpenter ants and it was probably a localized nest. After about 30 minutes, he'd applied the treatment, gave me some common sense advice on future needs. I'm very happy with this company and wouldn't hesitate in recommending (and they are local 40+ year company).

It went just great and I could not expect any better service. I called into the office and spoke with Bob who was most helpful. He explained how they treat different bugs and what has been going on with sugar ants and how they treat for them. Bob provided me a cost on the different services I was interested in and included the Angielist discount. I was fortunate to catch them at a time they were on hold on a job so they were able to come out the same day I called and perform the work. Mike came out and did the spraying. He did all that Bob and I talked about at the price we had agreed on. Mike was extremely gracious and assured me that we would not have any more problems. I was most pleased with all of Metro's service.
Description of Work: Metro Pest Control sprayed my house for bugs and specifically spiders and sugar ants that were coming and going in a couple of areas. They also addressed a problem with ants getting onto my roof

Description of Work: Things went great. Bob was very friendly and responsive on the phone and keith was great at explaining the necessary treatment to resolve our termite issue. They identified and treated our home very quickly. The price was modest considering the extensive termite problem and subsequent damage they'd caused. If I have trouble in the future with bugs, I'll be calling these guys again!

Rodents had done thousands of dollars in damage to the interior of my new car, and I was very distraught about the whole thing. The company responded in a timely manner. The technician was very kind and reassuring, telling me they would take care of everything. They didn't tell me the cost up front right away (even though I was upset, that certainly is the norm for their business, and he should have advised me). The man walked all around the house and garage saying, "see? they can get in there. We'll fix you up". I thought he meant, in that trip. Apparently, he didn't. They treated the garage with thin paper adhesive mats and put 3 large plastic bait houses around the perimeter of the house. Then they said they would have to charge me to come back to retrieve any dead bodies and replace the mats. I couldn't believe the fee didn't include at least one week of return services and I hit the roof. Finally, they called me and said they would not charge me if they happened to be in the area. When they came back, they put down heavier-duty sticky mats. At my desperate request, they finally at least left me a pile of more thin sticky mats to replace them myself. There was no further contact from the company to see how it was going, if I needed more work done, anything. Just silence. I left it that way. In spite of my distress, I'm sure I'm not the first homeowner to approach them that way--that's the nature of their business. I would have appreciated a thorough explanation of charges up front including some sort of estimate of the cost of future work (since the technician had examined the house so carefully, I imagined he would be giving me an idea of cost as well).
Description of Work: The technician checked the perimeter of the house and in the attached garage. Then he lay sticky paper mats down as well as packets of bait around the walls of the garage. He then put two large bait boxes outside the door of the garage and one in front of the house under a window where I had fed the birds. The technician also went up into my attic to lay a couple of bait bags.

Response from Metro Pest Control
This member of The Colony, Texas is not, nor has ever been a customer of Dave's Pest Management. I am sorry that she had a bad experience with any company connected with Angie's List, but it was not MY Company. Dave's Pest management uses traps, not bait packs, so that the rodents can be removed, not left to die in a wall or attic. Dave's Pest management ALWAYS quotes the price UP FRONT, before any work is done. In rodent cases, Dave's Pest Management ALWAYS sets up a follow-up visit before leaving the initial visit. Again I state that this customer was NOT serviced by Dave's Pest Management. We just don't do business that way. Dave Gronewold, Owner, Dave's Pest Management

I called for an appointment a little after 8 in the morning and left a message on their answering machine. My call was returned about an hour later and they sent someone out the same day. Keith Lowe came to my home 40 min. early. I had set the appointment for 3PM and he came at 2:20PM. He called before he came but I had another exterminator in my home when he called so he ended up waiting for the other company to leave. I explained the situation and showed him the termites I had collected and where I had found them. He then proceeded to inspect my property. He inspected both the inside and outside of my home and did not find termites entering my home. He gave me no written estimate but told me if I was worried about the termites in my yard he would spot treat the area for $100 to $200. In the end I elected to go with another company . The company I went with found a mud tube of active termites in the back porch area of my home showing termites entering my home in this location. Thank goodness I got other estimates! I had four estimates in all and only one of the exterminators found the mud tube by my porch.
Description of Work: Early this spring I was working in my yard and was removing some pavers from an area next to the foundation of my house. (I have a 2 story house that sits on a monolithic slab). I unfortunately found termites tunneling around under the pavers next to my slab. I collected some of the dirt and some of the termites into a jar so that I could show them to the exterminators. I then called four different exterminating companies to have them inspect my home for infestation and to give me an estimate for their services.

they called and were available on the dates I requested. They gave me a two hour window of arrival, but were acutally able to do it early. They did call and confirm the early time was ok. Kieth asked what my problems were and did an inspection and got to work promptly. covered entire inside and outside of the house. Sprayed for carpenter ants, and the problem is gone.Very nice company , would use again.
Description of Work: moved into a new home, noticed some flying ants around a guest bedroom window and a large brown cockroach in the kitchen. Kieth came and sprayed/treated both the inside and outside of the house and also laid bait in the garage.

We'd seen some roaches inside the house, coming into the kitchen via an uncaulked seam under a window. They came out and sprayed inside and outside the house. They said that the roaches (German) probably were living in the ground cover growing right next to the house. The same day I caulked the seam under the kitchen window. Haven;t seen any large roaches since then. I did find a small one (maybe a juvenile) in the kitchen 10 days after they treated it. I'm assuming that it came from an egg that had been laid earlier.
Description of Work: They called to says that it had been a while since our last roach treatment. They came as scheduled and sprayed around the house insside and out.

Where I live, carpenter ants have routinely climbed up alongside the staircase leading up to my second-story condo and walking around the front of my tiny porch area. There are some quarter-sized holes at the top of the stairs, where some painted metal flashing exposes holes in the exterior wooden trim and where the stairs is supposed to join the landing. Before I called Metro Pest, I had also begun having problems with finding large, usually brown, cockroaches in my bedroom and adjacent bathroom. When I first called to get an estimate, Bob answered. He was very, very knowledgeable and was able to answer my dozen or so questions about cockroaches and carpenter ants. He also mentioned, besides having served on the local pest control boards for the EPA and so on, that they have a licensed Ph.D. entomologist on staff, who specializes in bugs. Bob assured me that if they didn't already know the answers to whatever bug problems I had, they would know how to find them. That convinced me to hire them. Initially Bob's quote to me was $150. A few days later, Bob's associate, Michael, showed up to spray and dust. Michael was very friendly, chipper, and eager to help. He quickly went to work and soon was injecting powdered ant killer into the cracks and crevices both along the bottom and top of my front porch area, assuring me that the chemicals used (primary ingredient=boric acid) were safe to both humans and pets. Later, he sprayed the same areas with a liquid chemical, too. Then, he went inside and sprayed the areas around my front door, bathroom, and bedroom areas and moved into the dining room, kitchen, and back patio. The entire service was done in about 20 minutes, and I was only charged $135. I thoroughly felt comfortable with these guys and they did a great job! I no longer see carpenter ants running around my stairs outside and haven't seen a cockroach in a little over a week!
Description of Work: Sprayed and dusted for carpenter ants and waterbugs/cockroaches around exterior crevices (front and back) and interior baseboards of my condo unit.
