Response from Bug Busters Inc.
"The customer called on 5/26 asking us to come out regarding digger wasps under his kids swing set. Charlie (owner of company) and one tech went there on 5/28 and sprayed under the set. They went back on 5/31 and at the request of the customer sprayed a different area for digger wasps. The customer called again on 6/4 and said there are 2 different holes of digger wasps in different areas. Because the customer was dissatisfied he was refunded his $100. From our office to the customers property it is approximately 75 miles round trip, and we went there 2 times. We believe we treated this customer right. The job was not too big for us to handle. It seems the customer changed his area's to spray too many times to pinpoint the problem."

The price varies depending on the services required. When you live in an area with lots trees, sometimes bugs and critters want to come into your home. Bug Busters are very responsive, and friendly. They are a nice group of people. I have known Charlie for many years, and I have recommended him to many of my friends.

The ground bees build individual nests in the dirt so that a thousand bees means a thousand holes in the ground. Each hole has to be sprayed and injected with a powder to kill the nest below.

We started to see carpenter ants in the kitchen and store-bought traps were not effective. Saw good reviews for Bug Busters and called them. Very easy to set up appointment; they confirmed day of visit; and even called me when they were en route so I could meet them at home. Work itself took over an hour (longer than they estimated), but was due to their thorough work and willingness to explain what they were doing. After initial visit, some ants still appeared, and Bug Busters was happy to come back for a follow up (as they had promised). Will likely use them again.

A professional company from top to bottom. Courtesy employees who show when scheduled. I use this company once a month for preventative maintenance.

This experience was a disaster because within two days, the squirrels just chewed a new second hole on the opposite side of the house so that they would have a new access point. I know it was a new hole because I was having my house painted and the second hole was chewed through newly painted wood so I could tell. I called back Bug Busters and they said they would come out and look at it, but their only solution was to install a second door over the new hole. I said I didn't think that would do anything except prompt the squirrels to chew a new hole. The worker shrugged his shoulders and said, "Well, they are wild animals..." I called two other companies (Yale Pest Control and Anderson) and they had the exact same solution to my problem and that is to live trap these animals and then they are taken away M-F until all the squirrel noises are gone from within the wall. At that point, they close up the hole that is their entry point and give you a one-year guarantee that the hole will not be re-opened by the squirrels. This service of daily visits to empty the traps and closing the two holes and the guarantee cost me a total of $500 plus tax. I am so disgusted that I trusted that Bug Busters knew what they were doing when clearly they did not.
Response from Bug Busters Inc.
"We do not normally trap Squirrels because it costs the customer more money as we have to go out daily to check the traps; we used to give the customer the opportunity to check the traps for us and call us if something was in them but we have found this to be unreliable. Also, after an animals is trapped, by law it must be euthanized, let go on the property it was trapped on or let go on property you have permission to let it go on. It does not make sense to let the animal go on the same property you trapped it on because naturally it will go right back to where it was comfortable. On rare occasions squirrels will have a second litter in August this is not the norm but happens very rarely, this seemed to be the case with the member'shome. If we waited a couple weeks and installed another one way door over the new hole this would have alleviated the problem with out costing the customer any more money as we guarantee our work. We advised the member that we need to wait a week or two for the babies to be old enough to leave on their own, she said ok. We called her two weeks later and she informed us of her calling another company and being unhappy with our work. We would have loved to explain our reasoning to her but she didn't seem to ask any questions nor did she call in to try and reconcile anything. We are sorry that she feels this way about us but we are very well educated in what we are doing and in rough times like these we like to try and keep the customer's cost and ours as low as possible."

I asked about termite control and they said it wasn't the time of year and I may not needed it given our elevation. I think they were an honest and credible company. They explained their products to us in case we needed something in the future. The price was fair and I would use them again.

Bug Busters sent out an exterminator who was very professional and knowledgeable. He collected around 25 wasp nests and destroyed them. He gave us good advice about screening certain areas to prevent the wasps coming back. The problem at this point has been taken care of. Bug Busters has told us thatshould there be a recurrence then they will come back out and re-treat.

I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH ANTS ANYMORE. IT ONLY TOOK THIS COMPANY TWO HOURS TO COMPLETE A QUALITY JOB. THE SPRAY WASN'T TOO STRONG AND I WILL TRY THEM AGAIN IF I EVER NEED THEM IN THE FUTURE.

WE LIKE HOW POLITE THEY ARE WHEN THEY COME OUT. ONCE THEY ARRIVE THEY START WORKING IMMEDIATELY. I WAS HERE WHEN THEY CAME LAST WEEK AND THE SPRAY DID NOT MAKE ME SICK. WE DO NOT HAVE AN ANT PROBLEM ANYMORE.
