Technician came out but said since rain was coming he would reschedule. Rescheduling never happened now its November and I don't need mosquito treatments but the and quot;Dealand quot; expires before spring. Guess I just threw that money out the window, shouldv'e just used that money to buy some spray from Lowes!

The initial appointment went quite well. Tiffany, the technician was professional, informative and thorough in her explanation of what she was about to do and what can be done in the future. She was quite prepared with the contract paperwork in hand to be signed AFTER the termite inspection. I was tempted to cancel the entire 2 yr deal based on the fact that I was feeling as if I had been previously mislead by customer service who told me (more than once) that Southern would be servicing the property every 3 months. When I was reading the contract it said they would be servicing ONCE each year. When I explained to her that I can have another company come do that for $100 per yr and ask why I would choose to pay them $296/yr she explained that I was entitled to CALL for service once every 30 days but they DO NOT take initiative to come out every so often. However, she was nice about it and never treated me as if I was telling a lie as she agreed that I didn't just pull the 3 mth statement out of a hat. The deal easily could have gone south at that point but Tiffany worked hard to save it and she succeeded. We agreed that I will call every 2 mths for service and she finished her job and left after making sure I was going to leave the house for 2 hours as we has previously discussed when I ask her to treat inside as well.

The gentleman arrived and described what he was going to do. I asked about my pets and he said not to let them go out in the yard for 2 hours after. It's been 3 days since the spraying and I haven't seen any mosquitos when I'm on the back deck of my house and that's a relief. My daughter for some reason is basically attacked on a regular basis even in her bedroom at night and she has awful reactions to the bites so this has brought me some relief. The only thing I would suggest the company do is have the person come to the front door and let you know when they are done.
Description of Work: The gentleman sprayed my lawn front and back and my bushes with a mosquito repellant.

They were very professional. I was 100% happy with them as a company. Unfortunately, I didn't see much change in the mosquito population after their services. The reason why I would give them a lower grade for pricing is because the services were not as effective as I hoped.

Response from Southern Pest Control
Member, Thank you for taking the time to communicate your thoughts and opinions. We take all of our customers’ reviews seriously. I just wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for any inconvenience. Most companies recommend treatment every 21 days. Precipitation is the largest factor. During our 2011 testing, our experts found, when the application was applied mid June it was still substantially effective until mid August. The dry summer was a big help. We treat and apply the chemicals to your yard, shrubs, bushes and trees for mosquitoes. A homeowner can expect a significant decrease in mosquito population near and around the home within 24 hours of application. Remember, mosquitoes traveling from an untreated adjacent property will not be affected until they land on a treated area within your yard. We care deeply about our customers and want to make every effort to find a satisfactory resolution. Please call one of our customer care representatives at (804) 897-7744, they are waiting by to guarantee your satisfaction. Sincerely, Lee Coleman, Jr. – Director Customer Relations Phone: (804) 897-7744 Lee.C@SouthernPestControl.com Lee.C@SovereignPestControl.com

They come out yearly in March. We are under contract with them. They are thorough and that one word describes them, thorough! I used the same company when I lived in Norfolk and I had termites there and I got in touch with them and they solved the problem and I have used them ever since. Their prices are competitive and they are always here on time. We have used them for over 30 years and will continue to use their services in the future for our pest control company.

I have a yearly contract with them. They come out once a year and inspect and they come out anytime I call them that I see any type of bugs, mice or anything like that. They also treat for fleas. They are competitive. I have never really sat down and looked at what somebody else could do for me but they seem to be relatively competitive. It is $354 a year. I would grade them B for my overall experience. They don't do anything extraordinary. They have been responsive. They have always been very good about coming right out and working with my schedule and they have always been on time. The guys that come out have been really nice and very informative. I would continue to use them in the future.
Description of Work: I have been using AA Southern Pest Control for years for pest control. They have inspected the house every year for termites. I renewed the contract on May 5th.

Once you have a contract with them they take care of you. I pay a monthly payment for the service. The treatment does a good job. They also check for moisture and provide a report. If they see anything that needs attention they will speak with you about it. I feel that has saved me money in the long run. They offer a good service.

I signed up for a 2 year agreement and they never seemed to be available when I needed them.They came out when it was convenient for them. They only came out 3 times and when they would come out they would only come for around 5 minutes, really quickly. Considering the size of my yard and house it should take more than 5 minutes to complete the job.They didn't inform me that my hard wood floors needed to be covered so he got an attitude and wouldn't do the work. If I had known that I would have purchased a tarp before. I had to call the office to have someone speak to the gentleman to get him to do the unfinished work outside of my home. They also keep calling me every week after I had already told them I do not want any service with them. I have told them twice but they continue to call. Now I just ignore the calls.

They came out for initial visit, and recommended that when we were able to schedule our pets to be out of the house, they could come back and respray over larger area. The representative gave us several options and explained the potential benefits, limitations, and side effects of the various products. The appointment staff was receptive to our schedule issues and were accommodating. Both times the service rep was friendly, neat in appearance, and courteous. I would give them a higher score, but since I have not fully researched all their services, I am withholding a higher grade unitl after determining their termite protection plans.

We have been pleased with them and so we are using them continually. They come once a year and check the house for termites basically. We get an appointment date and they come in and check for termites. So far we have not had any termite problems and we are lucky as we have termite prone area. They do a fairly thorough inspection and we haven't seen any evidence to the contrary and we are satisfied. They charge once a year for the termite inspection and fortunately we haven't had too many problems with the bugs. They spray for termites basically. Their price is very decent when compared to others and may be it is because we have been with them for so many years. They show up when they say they are going to show up. They are always on time.
