Two very nice gentlemen came out to inspect the house. Was told they would get back to me with an estimate. Two weeks went by and no response. Called and was told person that the person that came out was on vacation and would call when he got back. Two more weeks have passed and still no call. All total it has been a nearly month since they first came out. Very disappointing.

I have a relationship with this company back to 2010. I spent several thousand dollars to treat rats and ants. This year I had five visits from this company which were not effective. Whether they changed their treatments or personnel, this company does not do their job and are totally ineffective. After 4 visits from their techs, I still have ants coming into my home in my bathroom and occasionally into the kitchen. Also, I never got a call from anyone to see if their service was effective, even after I had to call back 3 times. It was as if the service they provide is what it is, and I paid for it, and that is that. I am surprised by the extremely poor service and even a snarky attitude from the "Inspectors" who came to my house. I would have given them an F rating except that, in the past, they were very good. I would hope they would call me after this rating and explain why they were not able to control ants going into my house. By the way, I bought Terro ant baits at Lowe's and attracted a bunch of ants with this $4 bait to my house. That at last stopped the ants in one part of my house. That is a lot less than $75. I don't want to have to pay for a poor attitude and poor service. If I could, I would ask for my money back. What is really insulting to me is that, the last "inspector" who visited was surprisingly rude, asking me, "What do you want me to do?". If I had been equally snarky, I would have answered, "Do your job and treat for the ants." This company is not worth your time.
Description of Work: I have a contract with this company which cost $100. I paid $75 for a service visit to treat ants and to check rat traps. They came out first on 9/19/2014 after I waited 2 weeks for an appointment. They came out 4 times after that. Today is 12/14/2014 and I still have ants.

Priority has been providing pest control for our home for over a year. They come out quarterly. Initially they provided plastic and replaced some insulation that was destroyed by some 'critters' which were living in our crawl space. The critters are gone and the crawl space is clean and dry.

After I did much research on current termite treatments, I selected this company and called for an inspection. Mark S. returned my call promptly and discussed the scope of work. He came at the appointed time, conducted the inspection, shared his findings with me and we discussed the types of treatment. He also advised me on wood replacement and moisture control, but noted that I was already working on those items. He did not try to upsell these items; that was good because I was not going to be fooled into things that I did not need. We agreed on a scope of work, price, and date. Jake showed up on time, assured he could complete the job by himself on a Saturday, and got started. He took hardly any breaks, completed the termite drilling/treatment, minor fungus spray at the porch joist area, cleaned up after himself, and even removed some rotted wood from around the garage slab under the house (that was not in the scope of work). Since Jake had to pull the plastic back and trench in the crawl space; he asked if I wanted him to put the plastic back in place. Due to the need for the sand to dry, I told him I would take care of it. This would also allow for my inspection of his work. All work was performed as Mark S. said it would be. My only negative comment is that there was no follow up after the work. No one called to see if all went well and to see if I was satisfied. I also would have been highly impressed if the tech had showed up after 2-3 days and smoothed the sand back into the trench and put the plastic back in place. I would have paid a bit more for this additional service and would have tipped the tech $50. I am very satisfied. I will use this company again and will recommend them to others needing this service. I do urge them to establish a follow up service to determine satisfaction.
Description of Work: Termite, fungus, and moisture inspection; followed by a retreatment for termites, replacement of a wood joist, and minor fungus treatment.

The technicians have always been polite and professional. Over the past year, the products were unsuccessful. I had them back numerous times for the same ants and spiders during the summer. There are additional fees. Although I had a contract and insurance with them, the termite treatment had to be done several times. Now, that it's warm, the ants and spiders that just slowed down over the winter came back with the ants swarming my kitchen. I called the company and said please try something different and they did use a better product. My question is why did they not do this the second or third time last summer. With the termites, it was the same thing. If if didn't work the first or second time, why didn't a company choose to use a better product on their own. I called today because the termites are back. I understand imperfection, I understand trial and error, but the treatment I got was inexcusable. Apparently, there were two dissastisfied clients on the phone., The GM, Scott Pilkington picked up the phone, he went off on me, the customer. It was a very scary, angry person that I spoke to. After, berating me, I tried to end the conversation by just saying I thought it better to get my termite treatment and not renew my contract. Mr. Scott says let me check and laughs. Then he says that there are no appointments until after my contract expires. I am not sure what is going on with the company, but the Priority Pest, over the past year and definitely not the one represented by today's G.M. is very different from the one I did business with my first year. My Pilkington, General Manager/Owner, I hope that you get help for your anger issues. You made me very sad for those wondeful people who work with you. FYI-As I typed this a young lady called to schedule an appointment. I let her make the appointment, but I'm not sure I'll have them back in my house. I trusted them the first year and but what I just experienced was scary and I no longer trust the company Mr. Scott Pilkington runs. I would like to give the company an F rating due to the products, materials, and the scary GM, but the technicians and appointment setters who probably have little control over the products or methods were great.
Description of Work: We have a contract with them for at least two years. I'd first like to say the technicians that I had appeared polite and professional. However, I would pay contract fees and continually have to call them out because the ant and spiders did not go away during the summer. Over the winter the spiders and ants slowed down but they never went away. They treated numerous times for termites and it was the same story three numerous times. The termites did not go away until I had to escalate my complaints. Finally, I was told they would do a more robust treatment. When it warmed a few weeks back, the ants came out with a vengenance. I called and told them unless they improved the treatment, I would have to cancel. This time they used a different product that was effective. Now, the termites are back. I called to ask for treatment and was told I would have to pay. The importantant issue for me was that the treatment work and it was not true that I had to pay because my contract is not up until April 22. The person answering the phone was nice and wanted me to talk to the GM, so I was put on hold. I don't know what was going on, but he apparently had two unsatisfed clients on the phone. He was beyond rude, nasty, and unprofessional manner. I tried to de-escalate this guy, but he wanted me to know his name and he,Scott Pilkington went off. Having paid them tons, I wanted a final treatment and to show how professional Mr. Scott was, he laughs and says nope we don't have any appointments until after your contract expires. Very, very sad.

I have tried to contact the member since last Thursday. I finally left a lengthy message letting her know that we wanted to resolve the problem and wanted to speak to her. The member has been a customer since 2008 and we wanted to keep it that way. The charge she was talking about ($100) was just an annual renewal fee which she pays every year. I really do not know what else to do if she won't answer the phone or return my call. We are very that she feels this way and would like the opportunity to correct it.

It was a positive experience. They were punctual and did what I was told they would do.
Description of Work: They did an inspection of our house for insects and rodents and whatever else they inspect for. They treated the house, ie, in the crawl space, around the garage and house for termites. They replaced the access door to the crawl space. They placed bait and traps for insects and rodents in the garage and attic areas (3). They removed and replaced the insulation in the attics.

Our first person we met with was Ken. and then when we got the french drain in, it took 2 and 1/2 days to get the drain done and everything else too. They were on time, very polite, around around great guys with an great attitude.
Description of Work: We have called Priority Pest because we orginially had a Groupon and Ken came out. Nice guy. We needed a french drain put in because we had a moisture problem underneith the hous. They came back about a month later to install the french drain and they also laid plastic down underneath the house and treated the wood. They also put bait out for pests and also with that they treated for termites. Yes we did check with a friend about the price and our friend told us the price was good.

Priority was very pleasant to work with and coordinate via phone. I had an appt set. They actually called about 2 hours prior to my appt and asked if it was ok to come by because they were already in the area. I was more than happy to oblige. The guys were very professional and courteous. Took care of treating all necessary areas and at the same time respected the inside of my home. They took off their shoes inside, they were not intrusive about putting chemicals everywhere, only necessary places. I was very appreciative of their services. Haven't had any roach sightings inside the house since then. The paperwork was easy to follow, and they took their time to explain contract. Very smooth operation. Would use again.
Description of Work: General pest control for roaches and spiders. Treated the following areas: inside baseboards of kitchen and bathrooms, doorways, garage, attic, and outside perimeter, approx 145 sqft.

We ended up not using their services but they didn’t charge us anything for the estimate. They were really helpful in answering several of our questions. They were very prompt and came out the day after we called them. We were very impressed so we do plan on taking an annual package from them. The people who came out were extremely helpful.

I had been using Priority for my quarterly home pest control over the last year and a half. They were to contact me each quarter to set up my service. They never did contact me. I always had to contact them. It would then take several weeks to schedule. Almost every time they came, I had to call then out again because I was continuing to have ant/spider/bug problems. Each time I asked to have someone from the office call me to see if there was a better plan (more often than quarterly) for me to be on to control my pest issues. No one ever did call me. I have now switched to a different company.

They will come out for a regular service quarterly and we've signed up with them for a year's contract. We are very happy with them, they are very polite and there have been no problems. They are thorough in explaining what they are going to do and they are not pushy at all. They give you suggestions and we are very pleased with them. I thought their prices were reasonable and they were very good about coming on time.

I initially called on a Saturday and the company representative was at my house within two hours. He was knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. They treated my house three days later, and when that didn't completely take care of the infestation they repeated the treatment two more times (mites are Notoriously difficult to get rid of). I had tried several other pest control companies, all to no avail. They had no idea what I was talking about and were only interested in selling me an annual contract. Not so with Priority. I am quite satisfied with their work.

I first would like to apologize for the delay in response. I have just recently connected with my sales representative to find out how this all really works. I took this position as Office Manager in August and was not aware of all of the procedures for maintaining Angie's List Members. We thank you so much for your comments about Priority. This is certainly the reason we do what we do. We love hearing that a customer is satisfied and we are also open to suggestions. So many times people will call immediately if they are unhappy, however it takes a "special person" to take the time to write in detail their feelings about service from a company. And, that person is you! Again, we appreciate all of your comments and hope to remain your Pest Control Expert!!! Nancy Harrell, Office Manager

We are currently clients of theirs and will continue to be. They are polite, professional, caring and prompt. They let us know when they are coming and then they show up. They do the job well. I wish all companies would work as well as they do.
Description of Work: They came to our home when we called last summer and took care of some pest problems we had. I don't have the accurate date in the date field, but it would not let me continue without putting in something. We signed up to be a regular customer. They came out and treated and carefully explained what they would do and how, and followed through with everything just as planned. At first the pest problem was not resolved right away but they continued to come back and work on it until all pests were gone. We enjoyed working with them, and we still continue to work with them today. We signed up to be an automatic regular customer so they can continue to keep the pests away. Another time we had a problem with a live animal that got under our house. It turned out to be an opossum, and they directed us to the right people to help with that problem. It was all taken care of in a timely manner.

They were good. They were little expensive, but they were professional and showed up on time. They did everything in a timely manner and cleaned up as well. They were ready with an estimate immediately and they didn?t wait for a couple of weeks. They also showed up when they said they were going to show up. They were pretty quick in getting the job done and we never even really knew that they were there.
Description of Work: We used Priority Pest Services in October of last year for pest control. They put down plastic underneath the house. They sprayed around the outside of the house and sprayed for the fungus underneath the house. They also sprayed for termites around the shed.
