I moved to Virginia Beach in 2006. I have had Southern Pest Control since I moved here. I don't know if there is a new business model or new management, but customer service does not seem to be their forte. I am only talking about the customer service reps and office personnel only. Their exterminators are very professional and get the job done. My Wife's cat was dying and somehow contracted a flea infestation. My wife contacts Southern Pest control and they showed no empathy. They only wanted us (and quot;people that have had a contract with them for yearsand quot;) to sign another contract for flea eradication. Since our cat's passing my wife has been slow to pay off the contract because of her resentment to southern pest control. Our remaining balance is $99 and I look forward to finding someone else (of course after paying off my balance for them having come out to my house once during the year). $336 for pest control should mean that they should come to the house quarterly. I have never seen a company where they think that we need them instead of them needing the customer. I did in fact write the leadership and the rep did send a very professional response and offered me a discount on my next one year contract. What happened to loyalty.
Description of Work: Annual Pest control contract. Called today to set up treatment. I paid for annual pest control protection and paid monthly installments

They called me after the purchasing the Big Deal and I questioned the process. I passed the Big Deal along to my daughter-in-law because I didn't know it was harmful to animals and we have animals. It wasn't clear that the treatment isn't pet friendly in the Big Deal description and ndash; you have to ask. I don't know how the service worked out for my daughter-in-law. I think it did work for them, but I don't know for how long the chemical process lasted.
Description of Work: I purchased a $49 Big Deal for a Mosquito Treatment with Protect Against West Nile.

After they leave my house I find a lot of dead bugs, so they are effective. I'd recommend using them that they provide a good value and a professional service for the money you spend.

I thought I had the cockroach problem under control, but boy was I wrong! I discovered a cluster of the things, freaked out, and checked Angie's List. I called Southern Pest Control for their whole house treatment deal and they were polite, friendly, and professional. They had an exterminator out that afternoon, who sprayed the whole area inside and out. He was very concerned that all of us (including 4 kids and a cat) would be out of the house for the whole four hours; once I convinced him that we would be safe he began to treat the house. It took him about twenty minutes; he was very thorough. When we returned the bugs were dead and I swept them out of the house. Later, I decided I wanted to get an annual contract and not just the one deal; when I called the company they gave me a price reduction for the annual contract since I'd already bought the deal. I've had an exterminator out twice more; both times he was prompt, professional, polite, and concerned for my kids' safety. I will be renewing my annual contract when the time comes.
Description of Work: Killed cockroaches dead, dead, dead.

We still have the same problem with ants after they came that we did before. It rained shortly after they came so that could have been part of it. We actually had an issue with the scheduling of it.

As he told me though, they could be coming over the fence from neighbors'yards which were not treated (makes sense).
Description of Work: I can't recall the exact month that the service was performed. The Tech did a good job, but it didn't really help - - the mosquitoes returned in less than a week.

It went fine. The price for a treatment is expensive. The only time I do it is when Angie's List offers the big deal because $200 is very good. We have to have it done pretty much nine months out of the year, if not ten, to keep the mosquitoes away, so that would be very costly.

They had really good ratings and that's why I went with them. They were phenomenal. I really like that they were extremely responsive to my phone calls and emails about scheduling. They were very comprehensive. They went over all the different options and explained it thoroughly. When they came out, they explained the whole process thoroughly to make sure I'm aware of that. The staff was very professional and personable both in the office and the guys who came out.

It did not work as well. He was not forthcoming with any information. He did not want us to look at where he was working or what he was doing. We had to step outside of the house because he was going to spray inside. He was not service orientated or friendly. The price was fine. I would not use them again.

The technicial arrived 15 minutes early. Yea! He worked with me to keep me and my dog away from the wet spray sites but still in the house for as long as possible. It really made keeping the dog safe easier. He was attentive as I described the bug activity I'd seen. He explained I might see a dead bug here or there within a few days of the spraying (I saw one). A week after the treatment, we started a 2 week long rain cycle. Long periods of rain have been a trigger for water bugs appearing in the house.........and I have not seen one bug since he sprayed! I also noticed the typical Fall spider activity around the house was cut short. Many thanks!
Description of Work: The technician sprayed the peremiter of the house outside & the baseboards inside. He also fogged under the house and spread granules as well as leaving several bait traps (cardboard).
