Superior as always!! My Technician Chad McChesney, as always was Prompt, Professional, Extremely Knowledgeable, Polite, Nice, Friendly. Though we have a "standing" appointment each month, he lets me know that he will be there on that day and what time!! He is Exceptional and deserves a BIG RAISE!! Thank you Chad!!

The work was done on time and done well. Since them I have not had any roaches in the apartment sprayed.

Initially, great. But then the contracted service visits stopped because the technician couldn't find our address (even after being able to find it just fine the first visit and the first few months after that). When I called to find out if we could get an additional service visit because we were seeing more ants than usual, I uncovered an absolute mess of cancelled visits, missed calls, and a lackluster customer service response. Despite there being two phone numbers on the account, the technician kept calling only one of them for a while and then just stopped when he never got an answer. I guess it was just too hard to look at and call the second number to find out what to do. Turns our we'd not been receiving any service visits for four months and they simply canceled our account (with no phone call or email notice). When I called and found this out, I requested a follow-up call and reactivated the account. Not only did Western cancel and change the date of this newly reactivated account, they neglected to tell us about the rescheduling. I only found out about that because I called to complain about even more ants on the property. Suffice it to say, I'm not recommending this company at all. I'm sure they've been great at others' service (how else can they stay in business for 90+ years), but they completely failed me.

He calls me the night before service to tell me he is coming. If I am not home and don't get the call then he just comes. He is calling from a cell phone so I am just not sure what would happen if I don't get the call. The last time he wanted to come I had a doctors appointment so I couldn't be home so luckily I was there to take the call so I could tell him I could not do it on that day. Normally I don't know what would have worked had I not been there. The problem is he has to come in the house and check the attic as well as check our basement, which is locked so he needs to get the key from me. Does he just show up if he does not reach me? I like another company I use that schedules in advance. Apparently rats can get into spaces that are really small and this company does not look for openings. They just come in and remove what is there and then re-bait the traps. There are companies that say they try to prevent invasions so I am kind of tempted to look into those, but Western was recommended by another company I use. I am reasonably satisfied it is just something that is never going to stop. we have a long history of rat problems in the house. I would like it if they would get rid of my rats so I would not continue to have the problem.

They always called the day prior to performing service.  If I was low on cash they could always wait to do the service later.  They were very flexible and we never had any pests while we were using them.  They told me they would stay away from my organic garden and they did a great job of that.  They are very professional and I would recommend them.

After I hired them, they returned and treated the subterranean termites by drilling several small holes in the foundation slab, injected insecticide, and plugged the holes. They also treated two above-gtound infestations. Very neatly and quickly done.

The technician arrived on time and immediately went to work.  He started treating the exterior of my unit first.  He got rid of the wasps and spider webs around the area.  Afterwards, he started treating the interior of the house and recommended we leave the premises for about 2 hours.

They are fine.  They come out once a month.  I haven't had many problems indoors because they take care of the outdoors and that is good when we live in the desserts.  We were using a company that left the area and so started using them.

This is a large company that fired one of its best services workers and hired a young worker who was nowhere near as good.

I have had them out for service twice and both times they have arrived at the appointed time.  I had expected that they would call me to schedule the next service appointment after 2 months, but I ended up calling them.

They are really good and it is a big company. When we first moved into this house we had a really bad problem with ants and they came out until the ants were gone. I like my technician, Richard, personally; he is a great guy. I also like it that when he says is going to be here he is here. They are thorough and have given us lots of good advice about how to avoid having critters other than insects invade our territory; they have been really good. When Richard had some down time because of illness the replacement guy was just as good as Richard. Their pricing is competitive.

They come every two months. They are quick and efficient, and the use biodegradable, environmentally friendly ingredients in their pest control. It doesn't hurt the good bugs; it hurts the bad bugs. It doesn't hurt the birds or my cat. It's not toxic. I have been with them for four years, since we bought the house.

I used them several times. They were competent and they did a good job. I did go back to them. Their prices were competitive. The quality was fine. They were fine and I would go back to them.

I have been using them for at least ten years. Their service has always been good. If we have something that comes up, he comes and takes care of it. They are very responsive to our needs. Their price is reasonable.

They are wonderful, prompt and efficient.  They get the work done and are on time.  They are responsible and if there is a problem they haven’t fixed they will come right away.  They know what they are doing.  Their pricing is very fair.  I would use them again in the future.
