Was very satisfied with the service. The entire yard was treated to rid it of fire ants. The technician seemed to know what he was doing and apparently did a very thorough job. Have not seen any fire ants since treatment 3 week ago. They gave me a 6 month guarantee on their service. If I see any fire ants during that time, they will come out and retreat the yard.

I called them to see if the pests in my house were termites or flying ants. The technician promptly showed up on Monday at the appointment time & informed us there were no termites at no expense. Did not use their services this time, but good experience with the inspection.

I really liked everyone I spoke with at the office - the women there were great, very easy to talk to and work with. The technician that came out seemed really great at first too - he seemed to do a good job with the general spraying, which is what I'd scheduled. Then he came down from checking the attic and told me how there was all this evidence of rat activity and that I needed to put 6 traps up there. He told me all this stuff about how bad it would smell if the rats died up there and no one came back to get the traps; how sometimes rats die in the walls and then they have to cut out sheetrock and search by smell till they find the rat. So he stocked the attic with traps and said he'd come back in a week and a half to check them. Well, I had a good friend check the traps repeatedly that week and they never caught a thing. I ended up canceling the appointment that had been set up with that same tech. I have had the traps checked repeatedly since then, multiple times, and they never caught a single thing. The obvious conclusion to draw from this is that I never had a rat problem in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems IMPOSSIBLE that the traps would never catch anything. So I will not be using this provider again.
Description of Work: Originally came out for quarterly pest control. Also did an unexpected rat treatment in the attic.

They were great. Scott McGrath came out the first time and did a wonderful job. He's a very nice man. We talked about fixing the depths around the pipes coming in. The employee cut a tin and put it around the opening and filled that and caulked that well. He did a nice job. I highly recommend them, they're very nice people. They concerned on doing the job the way that I wanted. I talked with Scott whether to just spray outside or inside and he said that we would do it the way I wanted it because they had customers who didn't want spraying inside. He assured me the spraying would not harm my wood floors, and it did not, and that there wouldn't be an odor or anything like that and he was correct. I thought this was good because you pay a lot of money to a company to come out every once in a while and look and see if you have termites and all you can pay these people for regular pest control to keep cockroaches out and they will look for termites on the outside as they walk around and spray. So I appreciate that. They're just good people. They're never pushing extra service or anything like that. They just come in, they're pleasant and they do a great job. I haven't done too much checking around but the price seems quite reasonable to me.
Description of Work: McGrath Pest Control Services came out the first time and sprayed my townhouse. He came out again in April and another employee came a few weeks later and filled in the gaps and did the caulking. Another employee came in 1-2 weeks ago for spraying again. They charged me $65 for the spraying and $65 for the caulking of the opening.

They are very professional and courteous. After the initial investigation and estimate, they told me that their next available slot for treatment is in about two week. They came as promised and did the treatment around the house in a very professional manner. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of pest control.

My experience with McGrath was fine. The young man who sprayed told me what he was going to do and then sprayed inside the cupbords and closets and around the baseboards. He sprayed in the garage and then outside the house around the foundation. He told me if I saw any bugs to give them a call. They are a family-owned business, they are in my area, they did a good job, and I'll call them again.

I've used McGrath Pest a few times and am always pleased. Their technicians are always friendly, fast and knowledgeable. Their prices are very reasonable and my favorite thing is that they don't try and get you on a service contract I literally just call them when I need them and the come out. It's easy and pressure free. Sometimes I don't need them for months and months so I'm not paying for services I don't need. I also love that they have 90 day (I think it was 90) guarantee. If the bugs they sprayed for show back up in that time they come back out and spray for free. We had some pesky ants that kept coming back and they came back out and used different stuff and took care of the problem. Totally hassle free. I have recommended them to all my friends and will continue to use them.

The office staff was so kind, both when I initially scheduled the appointment then again when I called to confirm. Kevin was very nice and showed up right on time. Sprayed the attic (where a few bugs have made their way in), as well as the entire house and around the edge of the yard & garage. Came inside to get me & took me outside to show me what he called a termite tube. I will definitely be having them back out to treat these termites I apparently have :/ Other than the bad news toward the end of the visit, it was wonderful & I will definitely be using them again in the future!

I waited to write this review because I wanted to see if their follow up was as good as the initial consultation and work. Wow! Talk about a company that has its act together. Hawaii (our service person), is incredible. He is personable, knowledgeable, and punctual. He was working on our house when he got a call from the office about a follow up at another house and offered to skip his lunch so that he could get there (forget the fact that it was a FRIDAY) and service them! Since his initial visit we have had NO problems with pests and the rat that was making a ruckus in the walls was caught and out of the house. Lastly, though the names escape me, the people at their office taking calls were proficient, efficient, and very pleasant. This company is spot on and I can't say enough good things about them!
Description of Work: McGrath was sent out for a quarterly follow-up visit. Initial visit was approximately 3 months ago.

Overall....good work!
Description of Work: I had creatures living in my attic but I did bot what they were. They set a trap but no luck. I need a little more aggressive investigative work to determine what was living between the walls. I finally called a company that specialized in only animal control and I caught 5 raccoons in my house! McGrath was extremely personable and competent. I just think I needed a company that was more experienced with critters and not pests!

Very pleased that they solved the problem. The technicians were very nice and very professional.
Description of Work: I heard squirrels in the attic and between floors, so a McGrath technician set a trap in the attic. After two weeks nothing was caught, so they came out and sprayed a pest control product around the entrance the squirrels were using. After a week of monitoring, I heard no squirrel activity, so they came out and patched the difficult to reach hole.

McGrath Pest Control Services Inc was here a couple weeks ago. If you want to keep the cockroaches out you get a quarterly deal and so they come out here quarterly and spray. For my house, and we have a pretty big house, it's $60 something dollars. $62.79 and that's for inside and outside. What I like is they give me a quarterly reminder, they call me up and we schedule a time and they are very friendly, they know the family, they know my kids, they do the pest control for my kids house too. They are a family run business. If it rains and they can't do the outside because it's too wet, they will do the inside and come back later and do the outside. Or if it rains afterwards, they will come and redo the outside. They are very, very good. Very easy to work with.

Absolutely could not asked for better service to be provided
Description of Work: Scott was right on time, did a thorough exam of the property for termites, as I had requested and since I was a member of Angie's list, did not charge me for the service. He answered questions and, upon request, gave information and prices about other services they provide and prices. This was my first experience with an Angie's List provider and am so pleased with the whole transaction!
