Adams sprayed the house and the exterior and placed baits to poison the queen in the exterior cololoy. Two visits were involved. Adams was quick, efficient, and effective.

I've been using them for 12 years. They are excellent. They do my house quarterly. I don't have the inside done, I did that when I first moved in. As long as they do the exterior you don't need the inside done because that takes care of it. It's the Adams pest location in Denton.

Easy to make an appointment. Very professional and courteous. Nice equipment. Saw carpenter ants so called them to spray the outside of our home. They sprayed and put bait around the base. Seemed a little expensive for a quick job, but they did a great job...so guess you get what you pay for.

They have a very good reputation in the community. We used them in our old home when we did have termite activity and they treated it very quickly. When the termites didn't return, we signed up for their annual service.
Description of Work: This is our pest control company. We've used them in our current home and we used them in our previous home; overall, we've used them for at least 10 years. We have an annual contract where they check the termite stakes in the ground, and they check those quarterly; after they've come, they leave a door tag with a report. If there is any termite damage, they cover the cost of detection and treatment.

I was having a problem with molds and he came out and explained to me that I was correct, it was a moldy issue in my backyard, but because they go dormant in the wintertime, it would be better to have them back out on the spring and do the treatment, so he did not charge me for the service call. I was impressed with his honesty that I did not need the service for 4-5 months.

We have a yearly contract with them and they come every 90 days to check on termites and install rat traps. They are very professional. Their is a friendly lady who found some termites in my trash and put some bait in there and came back after 60 days and there were no termites in there. They stopped the termites before they got to my house. They were very responsive even over the phone. They answered all my questions and explained how things work.

We called Adams to request a treatment for a specific carpenter ant problem. We were told on the phone that the technician could use a variety of techniques including drilling the areas in question to treat the problem. The technician arrived and was shown the exact area where the problem was occurring. He was told, and quot;The ants seem to coming from the area underneath and around the master bathroom vanity cabinets, and along the wall behind these cabinets. Every day we see 10 or so new, dead ants from the household chemical we used to spray around the cabinets. The problem has been going on for over a month now.and quot; The technician stated that, and quot;I am going to do a perimeter spray on the entire inside and outside of the house. It will take a few days for you to notice a reduction in the ants.and quot; We also signed a contract for one year of service, because the technician insisted that this would be necessary to combat the problem. Four days later we called because there was absolutely no difference in the number of new, dead ants we were finding in our house. The woman on the phone at Adams stated that the technician would come back out and address the problem. We asked about drilling into the cabinets, and she stated, and quot;If the technician feels that is what need then he will do it. Don't worry, you are covered. We will do what it takes to address the problem.and quot; The technician arrived and stated that we really should have waited two to three weeks before calling him back out, and then decided to use chemical bombs in the attic. When asked about drilling the cabinets in the bathroom and the adjacent wall, where the problem was coming from, he stated he would NOT drill and then said, and quot;Look, this problem has probably been here along time and it is going to take a long time to correct it. In addition, we can't guarantee that we will eliminate the problem, only reduce it.and quot; The next day we again noticed more new dead ants. This condition went on for two more weeks. More new dead ants. Clearly the bomb was not addressing the source of the carpenter ants. We called Adams to complain and to cancel our contract. We told the Adam's secretary that we were very disappointed in the technician, 'Ryan,' and that we thought the only real problem was that he did not want to do any 'work' (ie DRILL) except to perimeter spray and set off bombs. The problem persisted for another month, and I began to research the issue. Everything pointed to the fact that the carpenter ants were underneath the vanity cabinet or in the wall, and the ONLY solution was to drill small pilot holes into the base boards around the cabinet and insert a duster to disperse a chemical such as 'Delta Dust' into the void under the vanity cabinet and the adjacent wall. Further research stated that the trees should also be trimmed back trees and a chemical such as Termidor be applied to the base of all the trees and exterior foundation perimeter. These procedures were followed per the application instructions for the chemical, to the letter by another company we hired to perform the job. Withing ten seconds of drilling and injecting the dust into the underneath cabinet void, hundreds of winged male carpenter ants emerged, dust covered, from the pilot holes. Jackpot. Three weeks have passed since this treatment was used, and we have found not one, new or old, dead carpenter ant in our home. It is our opinion that in our case, Adams was NOT interested in solving our carpenter ant problem; however, they were highly interested in selling a one-year perimeter-spray contract that would have done NOTHING to address our INTERNAL carpenter ant problem. If you have a carpenter ant problem, please know that it is 100% possible to get the job done right THE FIRST time, with no excuses about the problem not being able to be solved, only 'reduced.'

My experience with Adams Exterminating Company has been fine. They are reliable. Most of their products are not harmful. I don’t have to leave the house when they spray. They have been very responsive to my concerns and questions. I have nothing to compare their prices to. I would continue to use them in the future.

Service was very professional. The technician was very knowledgeable and friendly. Good communication between the receptionist and the technician resulted in treatment with a different substance that is more deadly for spiders (this was our main concern). Price would have been better if I had selected to have the treatments done more regularly.

Generally it goes pretty well, and we haven't had any evidence of termites since moving in. We are concerned that they seem to pick random times to come by. We've given them the combination to our gate on several occasions, but they seem to come by and either don't know it, and leave a not saying to call the office or just don't go in the back yard. Also this year, they finally realized they didn't know who we were (our name) even though we've been paying a bill for five years and have spoken to them on the phone several times. So my summary would be that they generally perform well but their communication is a bit off.
Description of Work: This company has had the termite contract on our house since we moved in. They perform regular checks of bait stations around the perimeter of our house, and should any be found, are supposed to take action with regard to remediation, although we must admit we've never have seen a contract so we really don't know what they'll do if that arises.

I am very happy with them. We live in the country a little bit so it's helped quite a bit. I like the service and their punctuality. They people that actually come into your home are outstanding. You don't have any concerns or anything about that. They way that they conduct their business is good. They send a card out prior to them coming, and give you two or three weeks to say if the time and date works. if it doesn't work you can adjust the time and date. John Nelson comes to our house, and he does a great job. We have absolutely no worries about him. We will continue to use them.

Description of Work: I have used Adams for years. They come out every 3 months and spray my yard. I had a tick problem in my yard about 7 years ago and I do not want to have it again, so I have them come out and spray my lawn. They spray the exterior only because I haven't needed them to come inside.
