Barry returned our initial call within a couple hours and was very flexible in setting up an appointment. He was very professional and knowledgable about rodent control. He seemed genuinely invested in making sure our problem was resolved, and gave us options for how proceed. He also gave advice on how we can keep insects out of the house. We will definitely use Barry's services as needed in the future!
Description of Work: Barry inspected the exterior and interior of our house and determined how mice are getting into our attic. He took the time to explain how our existing mouse control measures were inadequate and provided instruction on how we can effectively block rodent entry. He also set up bait stations in our basement. We chose to block the rodent entry points ourselves based on his feedback.

He was able to come on short notice and did a thorough inspection. He said there was no evidence of animals in the attic (the noises we were hearing must have been from the roof), but left a bait trap in case there was something he was missing. We used this provider five years ago as well and we were also pleased at that time with the prompt service (at that time effectively ridding a previous residence of mice). We haven't received a bill yet but based on previous experience would expect it to be very reasonable.
Description of Work: Checked attic for pests.

It went fine he sprayed the inside and outside of the house on 6/18/13. I called back the following week to report that I had a terrible problem with bee's outside my back door. I was stung by one that morning. I left a message with the woman who is in charge of scheduling. I have not yet had a response. This is 6/28/13.
Description of Work: He was returning because I was still having problems with bugs. They had been here about 2 or 3 months before and the problem was getting worse. They said I had waited too long so it would be the cost of a regular call. When I said I would go else where she brought the price down to $75.00

Very well! Barry rings the door bell when he arrives once a month (late spring through early fall) to let me know that he is at my house ready to provide the service. He asks if I have any special needs (this time I told him about some new locations for wasps). He is very friendly and has good ideas for solutions for problems that arise.
Description of Work: He sprayed pesticide all around the house.

Very unresponsive, unprofessional company.
Description of Work: I was looking for a local company to help me with what I belived to be a mouse in my wall. I had read many very good reviews here on Angie's List for this company. I called and left a brief message explaining what I needed. Two days later, I had not received a return call so I called again. I did reach someone the second time, this gentleman told me that his associate performed the service in my area so he would have him give me a call to set things up. After several more days I had not received that call so I tried once leaving a message specifically for the associate. I have never received a return call from anyone at this company.

I was impressed that even though the 2nd call was for a different mice entrance, technician felt he should have done it all the first time, so charged less than the normal cost for a service call. Excellent follow through.
Description of Work: We had problems with mice in our residence. Certified took care of the problem. Then a few months later the mice came back in a different location in the house. Certified came back and only charged a small amount ($25) for this service and blocked the entrance.

I had a mouse problem. I called on a Friday morning and he came out that day to check the exterior and give an estimate. He was back the following Monday to do the work (fill all exterior holes with foam), then came back a few days later to remove any excess foam after it had expanded. He followed up about 2 months later to confirm that there were no more mice - it was only after that that he sent a bill. His price was extremely fair (I recently paid MUCH (5x) more to another company for a bat problem - who only patched one hole) . He was very pleasant and I haven't seen any sign of mice since.
Description of Work: Mouse problem. Filled all holes where mice might be getting in with foam, then came back a few days later to remove excess foam after it had expanded and hardened.

I chose this company from Angie's List reviews. I initially called to combat a chipmunk problem (though they are cute, the little buggers are wreaking havoc on our landscaping to cause water to flow into our house) as well as a wasp problem that was just annoying and I should have called in springtime. Barry, the owner, returned our phone call promptly and even came out the same day. He evaluated our property and also determined we also had a mouse issue--we live on a large property next to woods so not a big surprise I guess. He gave a suggestion for removal of chipmunks (it involved a bucket and water...) but said most people don't have him take care of it b/c there are a lot of them and they don't want to pay that much money every time -- so suggested the water/bucket method. (I ended up buying a Rat Zapper to cause less suffering b/c my husband didn't want to deal with a bunch of drowned chipmunks and I wasn't going to either!). So on that end, he didn't take care of the initial concern but he gave solutions to do so as well as even set up the trap for the poor buggers, though I didn't use it. He used a mirror to identify, around our home, where mice were getting into the siding of the house and filled in the mouse holes w/foam on the oustide of the house, then came back a few days later to trim the foam. He then put mouse bait/traps in places my kids will not be able to access and checked out the attic. He said he'll come back in a month to check the traps. He found several wasp nests--we'll see in the spring if it took care of the issue or not. All in all, a good experience and a really, really nice guy to boot. I also like how I did not have to sign a contract for X number of visits, etc., and the price seemed reasonable.
Description of Work: Addressed wasp, chipmunks outside our home (we just moved in several months ago). Discovered mice problem as well, from his visit.

Barry showed up right on schedule. He went right to work and seemed to know what he was doing. I think he did a nice job and I expect the critters are gone. He has a 60 day guarantee on his work in case they come back. I thought he did a good job for a very reasonable price.

I asked him to go ahead and do the job. He returned the next day and set up traps, sealed holes, etc. He came back several days later to check on his work. I haven't seen a mouse since!

I called Certified Pest Control to deal with some mice in the Fall, and as spring started, I noticed a hole in my siding, and I thought I should call again to see if I had an animal in my attic. I played phone tag with Barry, and he ended up being near my home and stopped by to check out my problem. He took at look at the siding and said that he thought that an animal probably tried to get in but couldn't, but that he would stop by another time when he had a ladder to go up and check it out. He was very nice and helpful, and he gave me some tips on what I should do to fix the damage. He didn't charge me for the visit, and it made me feel relieved to know that I don't have the kind of problem that I was worried that I would have. Although Barry may be a bit hard to get ahold of, I would recommend him without reservations.

Barry was prompt, fair, and professional. I would definitely go with him for future pest needs.
Description of Work: I had some raccoons going up into our actic and we needed to trap them before the insurance guy came over for a damage assessment. Barry provided a very fair fee for trapping a raccoon and if he didn't trap a raccoon, the service charge would have been only $35. I was very pleased with this because a couple other trapping companies were giving me quotes in the hundreds like one had a $100 to come out and for every raccoon they trapped, it would have $125 which I thought was ridiculous. Barry was great in being fair with the prices and provided a solid professional service. The insurance paid for his services anyhow but it still was nice to not be ripped off.

I had a great experience working with Certified Pest Control. We caught 15 mice in traps below our kitchen sink before we really realized that we had a serious mouse problem. After reading other reviews on Angie's List, I decided to call Certified Pest Control. I left a message, and I had to wait a day for a return phone call, but it was totally worth the wait. Barry was upfront on the phone about charges (a minimal charge for an assessment, estimate, and instructions on how to fix the problem yourself), and then a fair estimate for the cost of the work. He came to give me an initial estimate where he showed me all of the entry points that mice were using to get into my house. Then he came back the next day to fill in the holes, and came back an additional two times to put poison in the attic and to fill in a few more holes. He was thorough, reasonably priced, and very professional. I would absolutely call him again.
Description of Work: Filled in the holes in my foundation and where the house meets the foundation to stop mice from entering our house. He nailed in siding and put mouse poison in the attic.

Everything was quick and painless. He first addressed the woodchuck under the shed by putting out a live trap. He then asked where I spotted the ants and then we drilled a few holes, sprayed and then covered up the holes with wood putty. You can't even tell where we drilled a hole anymore. The ants disappeared within 2 days. The woodchuck was captured that evening so we called and left him a message. He stopped by first thing in the morning to recover the woodchuck.
Description of Work: Sprayed for carpenter ants; caught a woodchuck with a live trap that was living under the shed.
