I was not happy with their service.  I was with them for one year, under contract, and then went month to month thereafter.  I told them I was not happy with the condition of my yard -- it looked terrible, weeds, etc .  I paid $34 a month and my lawn looked no better than my neighbors who had NO lawn service.  They blamed me for either not watering enough or watering too much.  It was always the customer's fault.  Once a Bug Out rep came into my house and spoke to me in a very disrespectful manner.  I was ready to throw him out of my house.  I told his associate I never wanted to see this jerk again.  Then I had a devil of a time cancelling this service.  The office personnel insisted we were on a contract and I insisted that we were month to month.  I had to threaten to go to the state Attorney General's Office and file acomplaint before I got someone to actually cancel this service.

"We are sorry to hear of your disappointment with our service. In reviewing the notes on your account, we acknowledge that your lawn was having some issues including compaction and the need for improved watering. We provided information for improvement around watering and recommended solutions, including aeration, that may improve the lawn. We acknowledge your frustration regarding any delivery of our recommendations and any lack of communication on our part. We hope you will consider Bug Out again in the future as delivering superior customer service and world class results has been the focus of our efforts for more than 50 years. Thank you."

They perform the services described in their contract, including responding to calls to treat issues we discover.  We wish we didn't have to call them as often as we do.

REPLY TO MAY 20 MESSAGE FROM BUG OUT: Thank you. That is encouraging. We would love to be rid of the fire ants.

He was exceptionally friendly.  Did all the work including work (found the leak and repaired it) that we had not originally asked for, replacing and re-aiming several of our sprinkler heads and reset the timers to work more efficiently, at an extremely reasonable price. We are looking to have him return and add another zone for our container garden's drip irrigation.

I use Bug Out for termite and pest control. For the size of my house, I pay $42 a month and it's been well worth it. Always very friendly and the response time is great. I once asked a question of the weekend and they had someone out to the house first thing Monday. I've had any issues, and the prices are much better than others I had checked out.

They are not too responsive. I have to keep calling them to have them come back out to take care of weeds that will not go away. I feel there is a lot more effort on my end when this is their responsibility.

The technician that came out only sprayed the front lawn and not the back.  I felt that if he was not doing the work correctly when I was here, what are they doing when I am not here. I have since stopped working with them.

They are really responsive whenever I call or need them to re-treat an area. We seem to be prone to a lawn fungus, and they work very hard to keep it under control. The follow-up has been great, and the office folks are very courteous and knowledgeable.
We have been using them for years.

On the Pest Control, side they come out and look over our foundation, windows, doors and any other points of entry.  They knock down and get rid of any cobwebs or pests that are visible by sweeping them away prior to treating both the perimeter of our house and all entry points.  They treated our home on the inside just the first time (as it's new construction) as the idea is to create a barrier on the outside to keep pests out.  We found them to be very good.  When they come over, they knock on the door and let us know they are there.  They keep us appraised of any issues they find and I love the fact that through their website I can see all the service dates and reports on what's been done and you can pay your bill on line or have recurring payments set up.  We are extremely pleased with their service and have recommended them to neighbors.  We also use their Lawn Service on an ongoing basis.
