He was prompt and friendly. Seemed like he had a lot of experience. He thought he saw signs that a squirrel might be in the attic, but he didn't find the opening that it was using. The opening was found after we put up a camera on the side of the house to watch for it. Then we knew when all the squirrels were out and blocked it ourselves.
Description of Work: He inspected the attic and crawlspace, then gave us recommendations on what could be done.

Salesman was very nice and took great interest in the project, marked exactly where the screening would go and priced out special requests of mine. We agreed plastic would be able to go 8 inches up the walls (I would come back to adhere it), the trim boards I had stored under the house would be set aside, there would be 9 bays screened. However, the workers just did something else! No plastic to go up the walls, trim boards are gone, 2 or 3 bays are screened. In two bays, they put concrete on the bottom plate and along the stud. I never would have agreed to concrete on the wood! I guess the work is done per pest control standard but not what I wanted and not what I agreed to pay for.
Description of Work: lay crawl space black plastic and screen rodents out

Prompt response after initial contact. We were in the middle of a complete kitchen remodel (tear down and rebuild) when contractor discovered evidence of prior rodent and bird infestation within wall and ceiling insulation (insulation only in the academic sense - it had turned into complete powder.) After initial evaluation and inspection, we scheduled them to provide the insulation replacement project. Their team arrived early and set up to power vacuum out the old insulation, replace insulation and sprayed on barrier. The job was done professionally and on time, all evidence of old materials removed and cleaned up work site completely without further trace. They sprayed repellent for insects and ensured barriers to any critters attempting to get under eaves, etc. They were careful to add plastic barriers within inside of house where needed and set up all equipment to be least intrusive to our normal activities. In September 2014, we again contracted with Pest Free to perform quarterly inspections and update repellent, check for any possible infestations, and clear areas inside and around outside of property. They are responsive to all questions, and have provided first two months of repellents and maintenance. So far so good - no annual migration of insects and spiders into our home as per usual when temperature gets colder. The quality and cost are reasonable considering the alternatives. We highly recommend Pest Free for preventive maintenance and insulation needs.
Description of Work: Had inspection and evaluation for infestation of pests and attic insulation inspection (used the Angie's List coupons). Based on inspection, we immediately contracted with them to replace all ceiling insulation. The cost was $250 for both the rodent inspection package and with $400 worth of insulation by using the coupons. $2500 cost for the final total insulation replacement since we have a large 4-bedroom house and needed to have entire attic/ceiling insulated.

Pest Free responded quickly to inspect the crawl space in our rental townhouse. The inspector detailed what he found and what was needed to be done. It was more involved than we anticipated but we were not surprised either. We agree to have them perform the work and paid a deposit. Scheduling to have the work done was a bit of a hassle, but that was due to our schedule and our renter,s schedule. Pest Free was very accommodating. When finally scheduled, the technician arrived on time and work efficiently to get the job done. They performed some work to improve the drainage under our townhouse and installed insulation. We would definitely recommend Pest Free to anyone needed work done on a crawl space.

The service is good, the technicians that come out are courteous, knowledgeable and great to deal with. Overall, big kudos to the technicians! My only complaint is that for some reason even though I've been a customer for over 2 years each time I see a technician it is always someone new and have no knowledge of the program that I'm on or the recent pest activity that I've had dealt with. Several times they try to sell me the quarterly program and are surprised that I'm already paying for it. It's as if they run the company by sending out the technicians each time with zero background or history on the house they are servicing. It's kind of embarrassing for the poor technicians. The last time the guy didn't even know about the service that I had 3 weeks prior and the point of the visit, which was to check the traps they set in the crawlspace and inspect the fan output to ensure that the yellowjacket nest was indeed killed. I had to tell him why he was there! The reason I'm cancelling the service and will go to another company is because when I called to give them feedback (regarding the technicians not knowing the history of what traps were set previously or that I'm on the quarterly program) the person at the desk seemed uninterested in the issue. She just gave me a rote "thank you, I'll pass this feedback on to our representatives" and I didn't get the feeling she even wrote anything down to pass on. I didn't expect anything, I just was offering feedback that they should equip their technicians with information about the accounts they are seeing that day, but at least I expected them to seem interested in hearing what I had to say. So I think I'll go to a company that actually cares about their customers. The technicians do, but the company overall seems not quite up to par.
Description of Work: I bought the quarterly perimeter check and monitoring for rodents since I live out near a wooded area and have had problems with rats and mice under the house and in the garage before. I have used this service for several years now, and when a problem does come up (such as a recent yellowjacket nest I discovered in my bathroom fan output cover) they have been available to come out and deal with the situation promptly and with no cost to me.

Description of Work: I have purchased deals for inspections and rodent exclusions. They have had to replace all of the insulation in the vapor barrier and crawlspace as well as all of the insulation in the attic in as home I was selling. They have recently given me an estimate for insulation and I am planning on having them do the work.

Estimator arrived punctually. Looked over the area in question, even crawling into a dark and dirty crawl space to look for signs of rodent infestation. Looked at the areas we had questions about, found no signs of rodents. Left us two traps just to make sure. We were quite pleased to know we didn't have rats.

Inspector arrived as scheduled and did a thorough examination of attic since we had seen birds entering routinely in one area and had heard baby bird chirps there. Inspector confirmed that babies had left the nest in the attic and that the area needed new screening. He also noted that squirrel tracks indicated squirrels had entered the attic in another area, but had not nested or remained there. He drew a sketch of the attic, noting which areas needed securing. The inspector was very informative, explaining the habits of birds and squirrels in area. We scheduled an attic clean-up and screen repairs for the next week. Workers arrived on time and were very professional. After they finished, the foreman explained what they had done, showed me the areas screened, and answered all my questions. I felt much better after their work, and plan to have them return to put new insulation in the attic. Also, the office staff is very helpful in scheduling and answering questions. All in all, a very professional operation.
Description of Work: Pest Free checked my attic for openings that birds and/or squirrels used. The workers then cleaned out birds' nests found in attic, replaced or repaired attic screens, and checked for any problems.

1st treatment went as planned, no issues. 2nd treatment was a different story. Appointment was set for between 4-5pm. I showed up at 4:10 due to traffic. At 4:12 I get an email bill that says job completed. I looked at the exterior of my house and did not see any evidence that any technician was there. The bill stated ?Treated both front and back yards. Customer was not home. Heavily spray exterior of house. Found and removed all spider webs?. This was all supposable completed and the technician leaves before 4:10. What the technician did not know is that my neighbor was watching my house for me. He watched him pull in my driveway. Go to my front door. Go in front of my garage and was waving something. He was most likely spraying. Get back in his truck and leave. The technician did not go in the rear of the house at all. There were spider webs still by window seals. He did not treat my front or back yard. At 4:14 I called Pest Free and inquired about the service I had just supposedly received. They agreed that do to the small amount of time the technician was there; he could not have put the graduals on my lawn. The billing department tried to get scheduling on the phone but was unable. I was told I would get a returned call to schedule the correct treatment. 2 weeks later I was still waiting for scheduling to call. They have my cell number. I called them today and again attempted to get with scheduling with no successes. I am told again I will receive a call for scheduling. I really wish I would not have done business with Pest Free. They are not truthful and have issues within their scheduling department. Pest Free has lost all credibility with me and I do not recommend them. Unfortunately they will come out for my 3rd treatment later this year. They will be watched every minute.
Description of Work: I purchased a 3 treatment pest option for my home and yard. 1st treatment was interior and exterior of my home only. 2nd was for interior and exterior of my home and yard. 3rd treatment is scheduled for interior and exterior of my home and yard.

Response from Croach
Dear [member name removed], We apologize that the Pestfree technician did not perform the services that were promised to your standards. Our records show when you called us on July 8th at the end of our business day, we left a message the next morning at the phone number that we have on file to call and arrange a time to rectify the situation. When you called back on the 21st of July, we were then able to reschedule a technician to come and re-do the service. We hope that the re-service that was performed on the 23rd of July resolved any issues. If you have any other problems, please give us a call and we can take care of the problem. Sincerely, Pestfree Customer Service

Today I had Darrell from Pest Free here at the house to look at the insulation job I had recently purchased for $149.00. He told me that what I wanted done was not a good idea to do and explained to me that it would not insulate the attic space properly and would disrupt the air flow/ventilation of the attic space. The insulation will not be done so I would like a refund of the $149.00. Darrell said he would make a note of this so if there is any question from Angie's list you could contact him. He was extremely nice and helpful. I know nothing about insulation. Thanks, Sherry

When he leaves me with $1947.50 bid (less 1 big deal) my husband says I should do some checking into the company before we commit to that much. When I looked them up on the internet, their satisfactions ratings are not good. The real problem for us however, is that on their proposal sheet they say they are BBB accredited, also on Angie's List, but they are not. This seems deceptive and we don't want to start off with a company like that.
