Description of Work: I called about getting protection against rats only and they kept saying there package included insect and bedbug inspections and protection which I did not need. The package was about 50% more than I had paid for rat only protection a couple of years ago. They would not give me s price for rat only protection.

The service man refused to go up on ladders or even go into the attic where hives were located. The business is managed poorly. They contacted me regarding the work invoice because apparently the worker did not turn them in to his manager. I will never use them again.
Description of Work: They came to apply chemicals to repel bees and wasps. My daughter is highly allergic and this is a serious matter.

They are professional and give you advanced notice of when they are going to show up. They show up when they say they will and take care of what you ask them to take care of. We will continue to use them for future service. The approximate cost listed is per service.
Description of Work: They provide pest control service for us and come out on a quarterly basis. We have used them now for three years for this service.

They use natural products that aren't harmful to humans. There is a chemically sensitive individual in the house so there aren't many companies that do this work. I would continue to use them for future care and would also recommend them to others.
Description of Work: They provide pest control service annually and as needed. I have a contract with them to do this service. This is for inside and outside pest control. I have used them now for about two years or so.

Since hiring Alpha in October the rodent problem has gotten worse. We have had an increase in rat activity. We have had a infestation of flies inside and outside the cottage. There is a putrid, never before, smell of foul decay from within and all around the cottage. I have called Alpha to see when they would be sending someone to address these issues. They replied that they could send someone once every 30 days to check the traps and rebate them. They told me it was the customers job to call and request a technician to come out and let them know what the situation was. They told me that at the end of 6 months a technician would come out to assess the property to see whether there were still rats on location. I have terminated my contract with Alpha. I requested my money back. I was told I would not receive any of my original $420.00 back.
Description of Work: I hired Alpha in October to eliminate a rat problem I was having in the cottage next to the house. I signed and paid a 6 month contract with them. They initially sent a technician to the house who put 3 rat boxes, with bait inside, around the cottage. Since then a technician has come by the house twice to check the traps and rebait them. They have done nothing more.

Excellent! The ants disappeared right after the treatment and we have not seen one inside the house since. The first of our two monthly follow-up visits occurred this past week as well. The tech sprayed around the perimeter again. We did not meet the tech who did the follow-up but the guy who performed the initial diagnosis and visit was very helpful, professional, and interested in making sure that we knew what he was going to do and why, and made useful suggestions.
Description of Work: Treated property for house ant infestation. The tech sprayed a barrier inside the house and around the external perimeter and then laid bait out around the grounds.

We had a termite problem a few years back where they were around the railing post on our deck. Since that infestation, we keep up this service plan that covers me for no extra charge if they ever find termites again. I like that they offer less toxic options. Chris is professional, informative and takes the time to explain things well. He also has a great sense of humor.
Description of Work: They treated around the railing post on our deck for termites. They sprayed all around the deck and around the perimeter of my 1,500 square foot home.

They did a good job getting rid of the insects. They were prompt, professional, and easy to work with. They were thorough and they did a really good job. I would recommend them to everyone, especially if they have a bee infestation.
Description of Work: We had a bee infestation in the walls of the upper floor of our 1,200 square foot home. They drilled the walls and put insecticide in there. This was a one time service.

The staff members are clean, in uniform, polite and informative. They did not rush through the job, took their time during the application.
Description of Work: I have a 80 year old 30 unit apartment building that recently dispute all efforts had a roach infestation. They came in for an evaluation visit and recommended course of treatment. Their product is non-toxic and does not require that the apartments be empty or residents leave during application.

While we wanted to remove the rats with as little impact to the environment, we realized that their approach with the bait was not actually that effective. We kept having to call them back every few months since we would hear more ''rat sounds'' (scratching) in the walls and in the attic. The tech's didn't do anything proactive to find out how the rats were getting in or suggest any alternative as we all began to see this solution wasn't working. Eventually, we had to give up on Alpha and go with another company that used snap traps and actually looked for and sealed points of entry. The baiting idea is a little hap-hazard. According to the tech's, this bait once eaten will make the rats thirsty and will drive them outside so they eventually die. But what if they die in the walls, attic? No one had a really good answer to that.
Description of Work: Came out 4 times to help subdue rats in our attic. Baited inside the walls, inside the attic and around the outside of our house with bait stations. Also sprayed for spiders once.

We had a sudden infestation of insects (identified by Alpha Ecological as moisture ants) around the bathroom windows, 2 days prior to leaving on vacation. I called several companies for assistance. Alpha Ecological was the only company that made the effort to arrange to come on short notice (thanks to Chris and the schedulers!) They also pointed out that they had published a $25 coupon and honored that discount - even though I didn't have the coupon. The technician arrived on time (even though they had squeezed me in) and was very efficient and informative about how to prevent future problems. Most importantly, he used plant-based insecticide that was effective and did not require us to evacuate the house for 6+ hours, like other companies I spoke to. With 4 kids and 2 cats, that was critical for us! I recommend this company and will use them again.

Office staff always very cheerful and friendly. Scheduling is easy and they can usually come out right away. Their technicians are very thorough, professional and punctual. One technician tried to convince me that I had rodents in the insulation under my house by showing me rodent feces he had 'found' there. I let him know that I had just installed that insulation myself, and that while I was born in the morning - it wasn't yesterday morning. He backed off on that and another service that he was trying to sell me. Other than Mr. Fleece, the employees are great. Their prices are very low and their products aren't toxic for the environment, pets, or people.
Description of Work: Sprayed for carpenter ants under house, around perimeter, inside bottom floor of medium-sized house.
