Spectrum Pest Control is owned and operated by Brent T Towle, a certified Master Technician with over 30 years in the industry. I understand Spectrum offers green pest control service, is this the only way you service? A. Spectrum Pest Control will use green methods when ever it is either requested or the best option.

One of most important things about being a QualityPro company is our commitment to provide environmentally responsible pest management. This means using integrated pest management, or IPM, to solve your pest problem. An IPM approach is focused on the removal of the three key elements pests need to survive: food, water, and shelter. By concentrating on eliminating the sources of these elements, your home or business becomes a less desirable destination for pests, and greatly reduces the likelihood of an infestation. More importantly, IPM aims to correct the root cause of the pest problem, providing you with a longer-term solution to your pest problem in the least intrusive manner possible.

I had a mouse problem in my basement. Brett came out set traps,live and bait. He set them inside and outside. Once he found their entry point he sealed the spot. Even set traps in the garage where they were also. In total he made 3 trips to my house making sure the problem was being solved. He was very knowledgeable about his profession.

Description of Work: Brent with Spectrum has been our go to pest control expert for the past year! We love that we are always dealing with Brent himself as it's his own company. He's treated for wasps, ants, spiders, centipedes and rodents. He's very knowledgeable and will also let you know if he notices things that may need to be taken care of by a different specialty. Some applications have a warranty as well and what he has used inside of our house so far has been pet & kid friendly (another great perk!). We would definitely recommend Brent to anyone needing pest control!

Brent showed up on time and sent me email schedule confirmations a couple days before his visits. He did a thorough inspection of my basement where we have seen spiders on a very regular basis and occasionally centipedes. He sprayed a barrier treatment around my house and spot treated some potential problem areas inside the house. He will come and do the same in the fall. Since he sprayed I have seen zero spiders or centipedes. I have seen some dead ones outside the house so it is obvious this treatment worked. We have a beautiful back yard that we often can't use because of mosquitoes. Brent put down a treatment a week before memorial day week-end. He then did a follow up treatment a couple weeks later. I am a mosquito magnet and I have been bitten ZERO times in my yard this summer. It is such a joy to be able to enjoy my outdoor space. He will come again in a few weeks if he feels the weather makes it good for mosquito growth. He watches the weather and times things very carefully to get the most effectiveness from each treatment. He won't come out just to get paid. If you pre-pay for a treatment and he does not feel you need it, he will roll over the treatment to the next year. He also came out and inspected my attic area above my garage where there was evidence of mouse presence. He said it looked as though the mice were long gone but he laid some strategically placed traps anyway. He was again correct, because the traps have caught nothing. I wanted to also note that the cost I listed above was for 6 visits and 5 treatments. I pre-paid for 3 mosquito treatments and 2 perimeter treatments. I think that cost is very reasonable for 6 visits, inspection, 5 treatment and considering the results we have gotten. Brent is a really friendly, professional guy and was also very clear about the toxicity of his products. He uses pet friendly products which was a big concern of mine. If I need bugs gone, I will call Spectrum.
Description of Work: Sprayed a barrier around my house for spiders, centipedes and other creepy crawlers we had problems with. Applied a mosquito treatment on my back yard. Did mouse inspection and laid traps to evaluate mouse problem.

EXCELLENT! I contacted them originally in fear of a bed bug breach! Scared to death I was!. They were above and beyond caring compassionate prompt professional and did not charge me for the bed bug examination because he could tell very soon after starting the inspection that I had nothing to worry about. He could have taken my money just playing on my fears alone! But instead he eased my fears visually showed me why he didn't need to turn my house upside down! I highly recommend Brent's Critter Getters for any and all services they offer!

Unsure of approximate date was the week before Xmas. Brent used "environrmentally"|safe method & was to return the Monday after New year his method didn't work as the parasites (fleas,bugs that I've NEVER seen before-referring to fleas) the end result was (still is) tapeworms.The situation in our home actually appear worse Our Bassets remain sick & are still on treatment(3rd time) we almost lost 1 of them I've lost 15lbs & have open sores which contain tapeworms the bugs/parasites that prelude worms are EVERYWHERE in our frig,freezer,stove,furniture. I've thrown out at least $700.00 in foodstuff as they infect all other foodstuff in 24hrs max. Our furniture & clothing have areas which have rotted due to the bugs the wooden furniture (MANY antiques) have spots where they have "nested" leaving holes & imprints of the worms They are ruined. Our clothing is falling apart & if one cuts the spots there are black"V" shaped parasites. When Brent was here to evaluate I showed him several areas affected including my bed & mattress the parasites were obvious but Brent stated that they were "dirt" & informed me that I was having hallucinations & needed to see my Doctor. He said this several times & in opinion was totally out of line as I do NOT hallucinate,& to the best of my knowledge is not qualified to make any diagnosis. He also said to use bedbug spray on my mattress.(what happened to environmentally safe?)my bed is ruined. It cost $3000.00 & was 2 yrs old. I am VERY concerned that our home is literally falling apart. The walls where the bugs have been are slowly crumbling leaving holes & impressions of tapeworms. Brent spent about 20 minutes spraying & left. No follow up & we haven't heard from him since the day he sprayed. I WAS impressed w/environmentally safe as we are both doing our part NOT to further damage the earth. I would not recommend him to my worst enemy. We spend our days getting rid of the bugs & trying to decide what other exterminator to hire. We will have to contact our house insurance representative as our appliances are ruined. All less than 1yr old. My recommendation re Spectrum & Brent-DO NOT HIRE! This has been & still is a nightmare. |Thank you for allowing me to express this experience. |Pam Mattioda

Response from BRENT'S SPECTRUM PEST CONTROL
Wow! I am not sure how to respond. I spent over eight hours in total inspecting, identifying and carefully explaining what was being reported as an insect or parasite was in fact dirt particles, pet hairs and other household debris. I even stressed that Pam send samples to a third party to confirm my findings. When I first arrived to inspect her home for fleas, the first thing she showed me was her bed, which had a coating of pesticide dust all over it. At that point I told her she will need to have the mattress either professionally cleaned or replaced. As a policy, Spectrum Pest Control does not treat mattresses. We recommend installing bed bug wraps. Which protect from dust mites, bed bugs or any other irritants that may be in the bed. We did service for fleas only after speaking to her veterinarian who confirmed the two dogs did have fleas late summer of 2013. We used natural organic Certified products. Again, never treating beds or on furniture. This was done preventively since at no time did I find nor did Pam produce actual fleas. This negative review is unfortunate. Especially when I took so much time away from my family to help her find the cause of the reactions she was having. Fortunately I am a Certified Master Technician with the highest score in the state. I have twenty nine years experience. Gaining the confidence and respect of my peers, I served 18 years on the board of directors of the Wisconsin Pest Control Association. This includes the two years I served as their president. I sincerely hope Pam can find the answers she is looking for.

Pretty quick service, found multiple nests on the initial visit (one didn't even know about in a light pole). Initial visit was $125 and additional $25 to come back for more nests found. Would recommend and use again.

Brent is AWESOME. We had a mouse problem in our garage, basement, and first floor of the house. Given the scope we called in a professional and Brent helped us identify the points of entry, routes, type of mice, and where and why traps would be most effective. He is incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly. He was on time and prepared with all the tools he needed for the job. He set up everything with us on the first appointment and checked in twice after that. We have not had one instance of a mouse since his services and I'm thrilled. I would recommend him again in a heartbeat.

I like the fact that his voice mail advises yje customer to email him, since he couldn't take a phone call while he was driving or with another customer. Email takes so much less time away from my day rather than hours on the phone. It took a day or two for him to get back to me but he always did and arrived right on time when the appointment was set. He set a follow up appointment for two weeks and scheduled a reminder to contact me next spring for an annual treatment. I can't comment on the price because I didn't get any estimates from other exterminators, but his service was worth the money to me. I would highly recomment Brent.
Description of Work: Discussed the problem I was having with ants, explained where they were coming from and what he could do to elimate the problem. He sprayed 2-3 different chemicals inside and outside and explained everything in great detail.

Brent is EXTREMELY knowledgeable about what he does and used very environmentally conscious products. He is very personable and explained everything well and offered options. I told a friend of mine that we had an exterminator come out and she asked who. When I told her said we love him and have used him several times for our properties.
Description of Work: Check basement for spiders and bugs and though none were found, had him apply treatment for peace of mind. Also had entire outside of home treated.

He was a 10 on a scale of 1-10. We use to have tons of lady beetles all over the house and since he came we have had no further issues. He uses alot of organic sprays which is great because it won't affect our children or animals.
