I've used this company 4 or 5 times now. When Scott (owner) came out to perform services, he did a fairly good job. I asked for rodent bait to be set in my garage and attic but he has yet to do that. I asked him to go in the attic to check for rodents, but he has not done that yet either. I asked for this company to come out quarterly to perform services. They never call me when it's time to come out, I have to call them, which I am not happy with. I would think this is their job if they want my business. I have a representative here now from their company (not Scott) who is spraying bug spray on everything in my house. He does not just go along the baseboards, he just aims and sprays and it goes on my curtains, walls, plants, antique furniture, books, etc. I AM NOT HAPPY!! When I scheduled this service, I specifically talked to the lady who answers the phone about having my yard and outdoor areas treated for carpenter ants. When the service guy got here, he said he was not told about treating for the carpenter ants, or that I wanted the yard done today. I feel I have given this company a fair opportunity to perform up to the standards that made me choose this company in the beginning, but after today. I will not use them again. If he is pressed for time, then don't do a substandard job for me, let's reschedule.

From start to finish, Mr. McGrath himself walked me though what was proposed, how it would be done, and showed me the work when completed.

The guy from McGrath's came out promptly. However, he just walked around the perimeter of the house, glanced up, pointed to two holes and said they needed to be closed up, but didn't appear to know much. He didn't inspect the roof, or chimney or go up in the attic. Basically he did nothing! We called our usual Pest Control guy out (although he doesn't rat proof just puts poison down). He was able to tell us a lot more about the size of the rat, where they were coming in, what to do about it. He put down more rat bait in the attic and told us to wait to close up the holes until the weather got to 88 degrees as rats will stay near water then and won't come into the attic. He said if we sealed the holes before this, the rat or rats wouldn't be able to get out and we didn't want that! He gave us the name of another guy who rat proofs attics as well. I was disappointed with the non-service we got from McGrath's Pest Control. I guess you can't win 'em all?
Description of Work: As McGrath Pest Control had excellent reports we called them first. The girl on the phone was new and didn't know much if anything about their service. We needed them to come and rat proof our house and she didn't now if they did that. (I knew, because I saw a report from another customer on Angie's List that they performed this service and did a great job and sealed up all around her chimney too). She said the service fee to come out to inspect the house would be $50. My husband got upset at this and said he just wanted them to come and do the job, as we had a rat die in our attic and he was panicked in case we had more of the same. "Just send the guy to seal up our attic" he told the young lady. That's all I want. He got pretty frustrated.

McGrath was wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them. They were so nice and responsive when I called in a panic because I had a mouse loose in the house, and the work was first rate and at a reasonable price. Great company!
Description of Work: McGrath came out to rat & mouse-proof my house including a large open space between two chimneys in the attic. They sealed/screened off the openings including the very difficult, hard-to-reach chimney space.

My husband and I had been seeing some insects in and around our stove area. Scott arrived early to our appointment, so we finished early, which was nice. He was quick and efficient - all told, it took him only 15 minutes to spray our condo ( 1,400 square feet), and he examined our insect problem and determined it was a result of our neighbor's remodeling. He left a refrigerator magnet with contact information and said his office would call at three months to remind us to set up a regular appointment. He was very polite and courteous, and I would call him again in a heartbeat if we had an issue. We have seen no insects since he sprayed our condo.

Over a period of a couple of months we would occasionally find ants in the pantry, another cupboard in the kitchen and on the kitchen floor. They even showed up on the bookshelf in the living room. After trying to treat them ourselves, we decided that we needed help. McGrath was extremely courteous and friendly when we called them. I called on a Monday and they were here on Friday. When McGrath was at our home, we were pleased with the professional and pleasant service we received. We will not hesitate to call them again.

The guy was late one day but he called and said that he was stuck in traffic and that he would be about fifteen minutes late. So really that was no big deal to me, at least he called.

They did a great job, the man who did the clean up of the shed felt safe entering the building without worrying what may be lurking in this long neglected shed. He did a very effective extermination.

McGrath Pest Control came out gave me a price, sprayed the inside and the outside for bugs. They did a great job. They showed up on time, were polite and professional. They gave me a guarantee. I haven't seen any bugs since they sprayed. If I do they will come back out and spray again. They come out four times a year and I have been using them for eight years. I am satisfied with the service and I would highly recommend them.

McGrath Pest Control answered my call quickly, and followed up readily with an estimate and service agreement. They were very reasonable with their prices, and were able to explain the difference between their pesticides and the stuff on the shelf, and why their's works so much better. The treatment was scheduled as soon as a day and time were set, and the technician was on time. He sprayed the inside and outside of the home, and gave us instructions for leaving and coming back home.
