"No. I was told he would be here at 1159. We got home before 1130 and received an e-mail saying the work was done. We need our garage serviced each time since we get hundreds of insects there. Plus, I was going to ask that he spray the interior since we had scorpions in the master bath."

Green Mango Pest Control provides Arizona's finest premium service. We are known for our knowledgable, clean cut technicians and extremely thorough application methods. We use only the highest quality products on the market and even offer a completely natural service. We are passion about our image, and customer service. With our unmatched results with scorpions and all other pests we are the innovator of the industry.
"To whom it may concern at Green Mango, Calling your company has been so unpleasant! I don’t need to hear your marketing messages... nor the clicking musak when on hold... I was trying to return the call to Jessica... who left a voicemail to call her and press extension 5; but, when calling your number, (480) 717-8174, there is NO option for extension 5! I finally reached Jessica after being disconnected once and on-hold for 35 minutes! My experience of Jessica, an alleged manager, was that she was concerned about her personal family issues and should not have been at work. She did a lousy job of addressing my concerns, interrupting me, antagonizing me, repeating what “should” be, even though I was trying to tell her that what she said “should have been done” wasn’t what had been done. In my opinion, she never addressed my concerns and kept deflecting responsibility to IT or something or someone else. I also don’t need your company to offer a “free termite inspection” only to try and upsell me more of your services and use scare tactics, saying there is activity when there isn’t!!! Shame on you for that! I believe you have overcharged me and I ask for a refund. On 11/21/2023, you charged me $712.50 for the lot size of 12,000 sq. ft; but you NEVER sprayed the lot nor near the fences; I observed you spraying only around the 1,954 sq. ft. house, never on the rest of the lot for which you charged me! Finally, my prepaid contract ends November 21, 2024. Jessica told me I was scheduled for a last treatment on November 11, 2024. Since I paid up until November 21, 2024, do service my property until the end of my prepaid contract November 21, 2024. THEN, do cancel my contract. I am NOT renewing service with your company or your new owner. I have been stressed out and disappointed with your customer service, and with your alleged “free termite inspection” that was an excuse to upsell and a tactic to scare. The only thing I have appreciated is the Technicians (other than your alleged termite specialist) who have actually serviced my property—they were courteous and responsive. Owner"

FORMALLY PIGEONS PROS OF GREATER PHOENIX OWNER OPERATOR. NO SUBS USED. COST IS DETERMINED BY THE JOB. NO TRAVEL CHARGES. FREE ESTIMATES
"Got a call from our pool guy saying there was a snake in our skimmer, and would not service the pool til it was gone! Since we’re away for awhile I had to get someone quick. Called several places including Angi list . Most places said it would be next week before they could get out. Then Jeff from Pigeon experts called and came out that afternoon and re homed our little reptile to a place more suited for a snake. He explained his pricing ahead of time and stuck to that amount. He was professional to work with and was in and out in just a couple of minutes. What a relief to have this issue easily dealt with. I would definitely use this company again!"

"Mixed at best. I called for help removing a crow stuck in my chimney. The company came out over the course of three days. On the final day, a new technician arrived and simply reached up the chimney and removed the bird by hand—quick and straightforward. While the issue was resolved, I was surprised by how drawn out and expensive the process became. Worse, I later discovered I’d been enrolled in a six-month recurring pest control contract without clear explanation. Despite paying $4,352 up front, the company insists I still owe for two additional months, even after I submitted a written cancellation. The communication was confusing, and the billing felt deceptive. I would not have agreed to recurring pest services for a one-time wildlife issue."

FAQs for animal removal projects in Scottsdale, AZ
DIY animal removal is rarely a good idea and is not advised for many reasons. First, these types of animals can carry diseases and, therefore, pose a health risk to you, your family, and your pets if mishandled. Second, depending on your city or municipality, it may be illegal to remove or handle wildlife yourself.
Sealing your home against these animals yourself is also a bad idea. Trapping an animal under your house will cause odor and insect problems when it passes away.
Pest control is not the same as animal removal. Pest control specialists treat for insects and bugs, often by using chemicals. Animal removal specialists try to avoid chemicals if possible and instead work to trap and move the animal that's causing problems.
Since each expert has their own removal methods, it's best to contact a pest control professional for insects and bugs and an animal control specialist for other animals.
Animal removal specialists specialize in removing critters and wildlife from in and around your home. These include:
Bats
Birds
Groundhogs
Moles and voles
Opossums
Mice and rats
Raccoons
Skunks
Squirrels
The specialist's method to remove these critters will depend on the animal. For example, groundhogs will be live-trapped and relocated, whereas, for birds, the expert will remove and discard the inactive nest and sanitize the area.
You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.
Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
Professional animal removal costs between $200 and $600 for average homeowners. However, depending on the type and number of critters removed, this cost could range from $85 to $1,400.
This cost does not include the cost of home damage caused by the animal, which could be as low as $300 for minor drywall repair or as much as $15,000 for crawl space cleaning and restoration.
