I loved these guys. They were on time, ready to work, and worked until they were done. They periodically gave me a report on how it was going and what they were doing, and I never felt like they were trying to "over sell" themselves. They offered options but did not hard sell, which I appreciated. They were very knowledgable about what needed to be done, and they even stuck to their bid, which was great. I'd recommend them to family and friends for sure. When I called prior to the work date, I felt like the office person knew immediately who I was and she had the records at her fingertips which made me feel like they were very professional and trustworthy. They provided pictures of the before and after, and sent me pictures so I had them for a home inspector follow-up pre-sale report. Great company!
Description of Work: Rodent prevention and crawl space insulation repair. My crawl space is barely 16 inches at it's deepest section, and the worker had to maneuver on either his back or stomach - there was no turning over under the house. Approximately 250 sq ft of moisture barrier had to be replaced, and insulation tacked back up (from rodent damage), block holes to keep rodents out, attach the dryer vent hose to an outside vent location, and install the outside vent to attach the hose to, build two crawl space covers, and attach heavy-duty wire screens to all the vent openings under the house.

I contacted the company for a pest problem with squirrels in my attic. I was advised in the initial phone call that squirrels were one of the most difficult pests to eliminate. An appointment was made and the representative came a few weeks later. We discussed the problem and he went up to the attic. Upon his return he said he could see signs of a nest and three dead animals in traps which he removed and he reset the traps. I am disabled senior and it is apparent I am not able to get into my attic. I have dealt with other pest control companies and I have always received a follow-up visit. I have not heard from them again. Maybe they are good with bugs and insect problems but not so much with animals. I would not recommend them.
Description of Work: He went into my attic to check on a squirrel problem, set some traps and left.

Pest Free sealed all visible gaps in the crawl space for rodents to enter. They were about an hour late due to a prior appointment and I had to call to find out where they were. It would have been nice to get a call letting us know they would be late. They were professional and did a thorough job sealing up the crawl space, but I felt I was getting up-sold to remove and replace all of the crawl space insulation to ensure everything was sealed up. Without doing this there was no guarantee rodents would not enter. It made sense, but the cost was a whopping $4000 which I declined. Not sure I would use a service like this again unless I was prepared to replace all insulation.

Great! Ants are gone. Each visit has been very professional, and the treatments actually seem to work very well. We have definitely noticed a reduction in the "pests" - especially the spiders inside the house!
Description of Work: We have set up a quarterly plan and they come out 4x per yer to take care of potential pests. For this last visit, we noticed an infestation of carpenter ants. They came out on a Saturday, and the treatment the provided has taken care of the issue. Since we are on a quarterly visit plan, this call was actually covered free of charge!

Went great. The sales guy was walking up/down our street going from house to house. I'm always skeptical of these type of sales people. So after he told me there offer I told him to come back in 5 minutes. I went in the house and reviewed them here on Angies list. Very highly reviewd and we have lots of spiders etc so I said go for it. They were quick and professional. They also sprayed in the inside next to the door openings etc. The few ants that made it under the door arrived dead as they crossed the first barrier and died from that or the second barrier. A majority of the spiders are gone but as they said it takes 30 days to break the egg cycle so I'm looking forward to there next visit. Over all my wife & I are very happy as the spiders were hatching hundereds of eggs on and around our property within 2 days before PEST FREE arrived so great timing.
Description of Work: sprayed the entire exterior of the house for spiders, ants & insects. Also sprayed bottom floor entry doors.

Fine! They always arrive on time, work quickly and efficiently, and maintain polite and professional attitudes!
Description of Work: We have Pest Free under contract - they come out every 3 months and treat around the outside of our house, including under eaves and on deck and porch. Previously had a serious spider problem, but that has been eliminated. When we recently had our shower replaced, a nest of moisture ants was found in the wall. I called Pest Free and they had the tech out within an hour to remove the nest and treat the area. Very impressive!

In retrospect I think the $695 charge for this follow-up work was really over the top. If I weren't so creeped out over the rats, I probably would have called some other contractors and gotten additional bids for the work. As it was, I just wanted the rats gone never to return, and I wanted the work done yesterday...so I signed without shopping around (my bad on that one). Did they just use the Angie List Big Deal to get in the door and then sell me more expensive work? I don't know. I'm curious if other customers who bought this Big Deal had a similar experience. Other than the cost for the followup work, I rate Pest Free A+. Their personnel were professional and very pleasant to work with, and the quality of the work was great.
Description of Work: I had just discovered a rat infestation in a 6' x 8' crawl space area under my house. Pest Free came to my house as part of Angie's List Big Deal for rodent removal and sealing up the area to ensure that the rats did not return. Cost for this was $139. The service was great. The person who performed the service recommended additional services including replacement of some deteriorated wood, eradicating some moisture ants, and generally cleaning up the crawl space. He gave me a bid for $695 for this work, and being a bit creeped out by the rats in the crawl space I just signed the bid and told him to go ahead. A technician came back a week later to do this work. It was one tech who worked about 4 hours to complete the job. He sealed everything up nicely, reinforced the new wood with concrete, and cleaned up after himself. There were still lots of rat droppings in the dirt floor of the crawl space, which I subsequently cleaned up and concreted over myself.

Replaced vapor barrier in crawl space. This was one of our best experiences ever with Angie's List. Some providers cannot schedule you for a month because they are so busy. This company got right in, located what needed to be repaired, and got it done. We highly recommend Pest Free

The Pest Free technician discovered a crack in my drain pipe in the crawl space which I appreciated. Given the work performed beyond the Angie's List special price, I can't comment on whether I got a good deal. They are reponsive and professional. Let's see if they're back in 90 days checking the traps they left.

I was out of town and did not supervise or witness the work being done. My husband said two workers showed up and there was a little bit of confusion about what work we had contracted for. This was an Angie's Big Deal offer and after speaking with one of the workers everything was quickly straightened out. I already knew all my floor insulation had been pulled down by pests and was basically looking to get the old insulation, some unused ductwork and any other junk removed, as well as replace the vapor barrier. The workers were very professional and polite and neat. They left a detailed estimate of what work they recommended be done in the future. Approximately one month later, one of the guys came out to do a followup inspection to make sure the work was OK and no pests had taken up residence in the crawlspace.

She replied that they don't do clean-ups, but I said the coupon said half an hour of clean up. Yes was the reply but we charge by square foot. So how much per square foot? She can't tell because it varies. So my normal reply was can she send someone for an estimate, well no not with the coupon she says. Confused I asked, but you usually send someone out for free estimates before treatments or services? Yes, but not with the coupon was her reply. So how do I know how much this might end up costing me? They'll tell you when they come out to do the job. What if they overcharge me? She replies, I don't know what to say. Seriously?!
Description of Work: I called the company to ask about the details of the coupon and informed the lady that answered that I would like to have my crawl space cleaned out from any dead ant hills that have formed over the years because we continuously spray the house and since the team will be pulling all debris and materials out then we would appreciate doing it at the same time before installing the new water vapor barrier.

All workers were very professional and protected the inside of our home as they did their work. We have signed up for a quarterly service with the company at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: They came out for the initial inspection and found areas where rodents could get into the crawl space. They completely sealed these areas during this inspection. Subsequently, we asked them to remove all insulation in the crawl space since there had been rodent activity. They removed the insulation one day at a resonable price and they will be reinstalling new insulation in the near future.

Very well, they were prompt and efficient.
Description of Work: Investigated interior area where I suspected rodent activity, found lots of evidence and cleaned everything up as best as possible, and set out traps. Then investigated exterior for points on egress, found some and blocked them all. THe coupon was only for the exterior inspection and plugging things ups so they went beyond that and managed the problem in front of them as best as possible.

Overall, the experience was a very positive one considering the situation. Angel was fantastic to work with. While he was doing the work, he informed me with pictures and let me know what he did. I was able to make corrections from work due to his abiltiy to communicate with me prior to finishing the job. This company also worked out a payment plan with me which was extemely helpful. They are really great people to work with and their service is fantastic. I have signed up for quartely visits as well.
Description of Work: I originally bought the Big Deal which was a great offer knowing I had rodent activity under my house. They came out and removed a nest, patched whatever entry points they could find, set traps and did a complete inspection under the house. They identified that my existing installation was installed improperly which was alarming. They scheduled a 10 day come-bak to check traps. They caught 2 rats which indicated there were other entry points but they couldn't find them until they removed the installation. I hired them to do the full job they proposed which was remove all the installation and plastic floor covering. There was a bad smell which needed to be deoderized and sprayed. They did all of that work in addition to setting 4 traps under crawl space and 3 bait stations around the house. They completed all the work in 1 day.

with a foot or so of concrete and underneath that would be a barrier of treated wood (apparently they won't want to chew through it). I signed right up, believe me! So we went back to the basement and he had covered the largest hole (by where the rat was) with mesh, and filled another with foam. He put 5 traps around, at the ceiling height by the crawl spaces, just in case. Thank you for taking such good care of me on the spot!!
Description of Work: Angel showed up promptly at 7:59am ready to do an estimate. I thought I had mice in my heater floor vents. He quickly told me he didn't think that was the case because the scent wasn't there. He also said he thought it was rats not mice (ugh!) When we got to my basement he pointed out how a rat could have gotten in a couple of places. He got up into my laundry sink to look into the crawl space and got a surprise - face to face with a big rat! He reached in and pulled it right out - yuck! He suggested I go elsewhere while he finished up, thankfully. When he came back upstairs he walked me through an estimate to shore up my foundation
