It went great. I was informed that they came out free of charge a second time because it rained shortly after the first treatment was done. They are very affordable and the treatment worked. There were no more wasp nests built.
Description of Work: We found wasp nests around our side patio and front entrance to the house. We were wanted to get rid of them before we moved into our new house.

McGrath Pest Control Services Inc had to drill holes, covered up the holes and under the sink area where the leak was. We signed a contract with them. They gave us a guarantee that if anything happened they will come back right here. They were terrific. They were very professional, very neat and on time. They explained things to us so that we knew that we were getting a fare shade from them. We felt like their price was reasonable and honest. They did a good job because they used a big amount of exterminating fluid to take care of the problem. They put it heavily and extensively in the area the needed to be treated. They were greatly responsive to our needs. We got a fast appointment. They were knowledgeable.
Description of Work: They did the subterranean termite extermination and we expanded on what we found out from another provider. They treated all around the house .

McGrath Pest Control Services provides our periodic, ongoing pest control.

It was a pleasure doing business with them. I will most definitely use them again if ever the need arises.
Description of Work: The office staff were very responsive and respectful. They wanted to get my issue resolved, very quickly. They were very punctual and professional. The first visit was to lay traps on the second visit I had them spray.

Knew that we had rodents in the attic and a wall. Self dispersed rat bait not effective. Service man scheduled within 2 days of initial service call. Right on time, confirmed rats, identified multiple entry points, set multiple traps. Scheduled free follow-up visit as well as appointment for repair tech to come to home to seal all identified entry points. Follow-up visit three days later revealed no animals trapped. Repair technician showed up promptly 2 days later and worked efficiently to seal all entry points. Guaranteed that rats would now go to traps because their entry/exit points are sealed and they will seek food. Waiting now for rats to be trapped. Experience with company and reps very positive. Repairs not inexpensive, but we were willing to have work done ASAP and it was done well. Expect rats to be trapped, and then I will be 100% satisfied. UPDATE: Company owner visited my home after 2 days without trapping a rodent. He identified additional entry/exit points that had been missed by tecnician. The technician returned within a day to seal this additional hole. We have trapped one rat and have not heard animals in attic or wall.
Description of Work: Rats identified as rodents in attic. Multiple entry/exit points identified in home. Multiple traps set. All identified entry/exit points sealed and repaired.

Overal, it went great--no problems at all. I would definitely recommend this company.
Description of Work: I was very happy with the service provided. The techs (Hawaii and George) had to travel a long distance to get to my house, and arrived on time. They were friendly and competent, and fully explained the process they were using. I thought the price I paid was very fair, and well worth it.

The company was several minutes early before the scheduled appt time. The services was great, done in time and the technician was very informative on general questions we had. We had the general spray for basic pests. We felt safe with the technicians in our home. McGrath did a great job and will be using them again in the future.

Service was excellent. The service guy called first to confirm appointment and arrived within 10 minutes of appointed time. Spraying was effective, professionally done and described in detail. The service call saved me money as in addition to spraying I was spending $125 a year of independent termite inspection. This inspection is not needed as McGrath checks for termites every time they spay house for pest control. Excellent service
Description of Work: My regular pest control service became unresponsive. I checked Angie's list and then called McGrath requesting they provide pest control spraying for my home.

I phoned several Pest Control firms listed on Angie's List regarding the gas fireplace vents. I was worried a fire might start if we (or my neighbor) turned on the gas log and the sparrow nesting material ignited. ONLY McGrath offered to do the job - and for a very reasonable cost. George is so pleasant and professional. Ask for him!
Description of Work: Their technician George sprayed for cockroaches up on my rooftop terrace. He also climbed up on his ladder to my second story to remove sparrow nesting material packed into the gas fireplace vent. George measured and installed a screen on the vent to prevent further sparrow activity. He did the same for my neighbor's gas vent (it faced mine and the droppings from the sparrows were a constant mess near my front door).

Our needs have always been addressed in a timely fashion, and the staff has always been friendly and efficient, from the front office to the service technicians. We even get to speak to the owner of the company, something many owners shy away from. The service was prompt and thorough, and all of our questions were answered. My wife was a little concerned about the chemicals used and our pets, but we were able to discuss our concerns and get all the answers we needed before the service was provided. Pets are doing great and the bugs are gone!
Description of Work: McGrath Pest Control Services has been taking care of us for years. They handle our quarterly service and have taken care of individual needs such as rodent exclusion, etc.

I called for an estimate on my property for termite treatment and raspberry ants. Scott called ahead as I had asked on the day specified. He was highly friendly and professional. He listened to me as well as explained all that needed to be done. He gave me a fair price on the raspberry ants and treated the whole property right away. The termite bid was understandably higher and would require a lot more work and another appointment. He did not pressure me when I said I would have to get back to him about the termites. I did get back to his office and set the appointment with his friendly secretary. I feel confident they will do a great job treating the termites. They also have a guarantee and yearly contract price that is very reasonable.

Great company to work with. This was our second time using them for general pest control. Both instances I found the company to have great communication when scheduling, and very professional reps show up to complete the jobs. Emailed through Angie's List for availability and received a call a few hours later to schedule an appointment. My schedule was limited and the nice lady on the phone was very courteous and more than willing to work with me. The appointment was set for the next morning and the rep actually showed up early to complete the job. Worked with Jacob this time and he was very polite, informative and efficient. He noticed we had a little one in the house and took time to explain to me exactly what chemicals were being used. He took care to not spray in the "sensitive" child areas (ie. bedroom, play area). Very accommodating and friendly group of folks to work with!! Highly recommended!!
