It is now 11 months and have over 40 subterranean termites in my bathroom. laundry room, bed room. In their contract it states they will provide retreatment if reported before on year. I have reported and the representative came out and took samples and agreed i had an infestation. I talked with the owner Rick who simply said no he will not do anything to solve my same problem i had a year ago. He said ," its like a doctor i cant quarantee you wont have the same problem. DO NOT WASTE YOUR 1060$ ON THIS TREATMENT. THEY DO NOT BACK THE QUARANTEE ON THEIR CONTRACT.
Description of Work: I had infestation of subterranean termites and was told i needed bait stations all around outside of my house to rid them

Excellent company. The staff couldn’t be more friendly and flexible to work around my schedule. Work was done timely and at a high quality. The service tech educated us on not only how to treat but also prevent future infestation. Before you call one of those fly by night large national companies, give Best Termite a call!

They have done my pest control for years but recently we had installed a screen porch. Day 1 a squirrel broke through in multiple spots. Rich came out the next day, found and cleared a nest and did a few preventative treatments and the problem has disappeared.

They did a terrible job. I had an independent roofer come out and look at the damaged caused to my roof. His response was "they beat the H___ out of your roof." I have contacted them several times. They sent the salesman back out who told me that was "normal" damage and that I already paid them so they would do nothing. They wanted half the money months in advance and the rest BEFORE they finished the job. Naturally, we weren't there to see the damage until after they had our money. They completely knocked down our drip system that went around our roof porch and just left it on the roof. DONT USE THIS COMPANY. Oh! I almost forgot. I'm still picking up cigarette butts all over my yard that they left!!!!

Response from Best Termite & Pest Control Inc
Not true we were as careful as possible in putting on and removing the tent. The customer was informed prior to the job being done and signed a document telling him that we would be careful, however, would not be responsible for any damage to the roof whatsoever unless caused by gross negligence. We were not negligent in the performance of the work. It should be noted that the structure had solar panels and that he was advised that they might be damaged. He decided to remove them and had other people up on that roof, perhaps in that respect they may have caused some damage our observations after the job showed to small dents and what he claims were stains on the roof(could be dirt off the tarp as the color off of the tarp does not come off. This is a woven material We do advise the property owners that we will not be responsible for damage to roof covering solar heaters, gutters, etc. when properly performed fumigation procedures are conducted, which is what we do on each and every job

NOT GOOD! I was told by 3 employees that when I moved I would get my money back. I paid for a year!! We are moving into an apartment and was told service could be transferred to the apartment. Why would I have service transferred when the apartment has their own bug control service. I paid cash and now this company will not give me back my money!! Employees are un-professional. I was told to give them notice, which I did prior to my move. GO WITH A DIFFERENT COMPANY UNLESS YOU JUST LIKE THROWING MONEY AWAY!! THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE IN ANGIE'S LIST!!

Not completely accurate the client was refunded any advanced payments less 60% of her early cancellation fees as per our agreement, she had a 285.50credit and was refunded $205.50 Looks to me as of that is fair treatment

The tenting for dry wood termintes went very well. Probably because I read the instructions and expectations for the tenting and was capable of preparing for the event. Having seen tenting on houses before, I could understand and comprehend what needed to be done and how they would need to do it. SO, I realized (and confirmed with Tony), that in order to wrap the tent around the house to completely seal it, I would need to remove anything that would be in the way. This meant I would remove some of the pickets on the 3 fences abutting the house, remove the downspouts. Since I have a screen porch with full length skylights, I also bought 3, 4x8 sheets of plywood and laid them over the plastic panels so that they would not fall through when removing the tent (as they would not be able to see the panels). This cost me a little more but eliminated any problems with the panels breaking and trying to get new ones installed. Overall, tenting is a pain but was necessary due to dry wood termites. The reason I went with BEST is because they do their own tenting. Their crews work for BEST. I was very happy with how things worked out. I would recommend them to anyone who needs such a job.

They serviced us for 10+ years, too often we still had bugs and sometimes had to call them back out again to re-spray and often never saw them at all. Then we found what looked like a termite and asked them, they said house must be tented. We later examined the bug and it was an ant. House was tented on a Thursday, they never mentioned that if gas is off on a Saturday it means no gas all weekend. When called to suggest they tell customers that were met with angry employee who repeated over and over it's not his problem and "they know nothing about gas company". Really? Been in business how many years here and couldn't just mention we should end tenting on a weekday if we wanted hot water and cooking that weekend? Seems they want to squeeze appointments in and know people will not choose all the slots otherwise.

They were suppose to come back, missed a prescheduled appointment and only eventually came back after a month of me hounding them. Separately they never came back to finish inclusion work either and left an area wide open. It wasn’t worth the headache to chase then down so I’m counting it as waisted money that I got very little for and will not do business with them again. I would NOT recommend them to anyone. ALSO! Their salesman was very pushy and was constantly trying to up sell me. Very annoying.
Description of Work: I thought I had rats and paid for inspection as well as trap placements and some inclusion work. I can’t remember the exact price of what I paid.

Great pest guy. Experienced, and knew his trade. They have an annual price plan that you can pay periodically or lump sum. I chose lump sum. Ants were gone immediately and haven't returned. I paid up front and the pest guy told me he would see me in Feb. They maintain a schedule of their return visits on my account page of their website. Well this date has passed and they have not called, or been here, to my knowledge. Maybe they are expecting me to call them, You may have to keep this team on their toes.

Estimator visually inspected house and advised that it would be $250 to have a tech return at a later date and perform a more detailed inspection of property and place traps. Attempted to up-sell me a service plan and also had me read the fine print on their Angie's List offer which stated discount only good for new monthly service plans. (Sneaky) When tech arrived he inspected the house and placed 5 $2 wooden rat traps in my attic. Tech would not inspect crawl space under house. Tech indicates he could come back and check traps in 3 days. No call no show. I called and left messages and no one called back. After several attempts I checked the traps myself twice not knowing how many were up there. Thank goodness I didn't get hurt by one of the traps as I didn't know where they were. I finally got through to them and they sent the same tech to reinspect. He indicated he forgot due to the holiday and he was off. He did note a smell that was conducive to rodents but didn't know how to get at them. He indicated the company would call me back in three days with an action plan and they never did. They did get my $250 and waisted my time. 100% unprofessional and terrible services and they never inspected the crawl space.

The technician was very professional and very thorough. He checked all of our plants and palms and yard to try to find where they were nesting. He sprayed down our entire deck and dusted our yard. Also checked the attic and around the house as well. Finally found where they were nesting & treated heavily. Spent a lot of time and also told us that because of the rain if we did see any signs of ants in the next few weeks to let them know and they would come out again and treat for free. We have not seen any ants and very happy with the service they provided.

Salesman was a great guy. Was actually a little early, which I very much appreciate. The crew showed up in the morning on the appointed day, covered the house, inspected to make sure everything that was out supposed to be bagged or out of the house was correct. Tent off Thursday morning and we were back in by the afternoon. Great job.

They were dependable. They show up every month without me having to call. If I needed something outside of my normal monthly schedule, they were very easy to work with. They come out and take care of it.
Description of Work: I've used them every month for the last four years. They did monthly maintenance so they would spray outside; once a quarter they would come and spray in the house then one time I had treats for fleas.

I like them. I've been with them for probably 20 years. I pay $36 every other month. I've rarely had to call them back and when I did, they were right there. I can count on them. It's quick and it's easy and I like that because I'm busy like everybody else. My interactions with them was great. The work they've been doing has turned out perfect.
