At ExperiGreen our company philosophy is based on decades of management experience. We believe customer care is as important as lawn care. We treat every customer as an individual, with specific needs and expectations. You can trust us to do the job right, the first time. Call us today!

"I was getting many weeds and it looked like the technicians were not covering the whole lawn. On September 3rd, Joseph Lynch came to my house and told me he was there to apply treatment. He left within 10 - 15 minutes, did not even enter my back yard, and obviously had prepared his "report" before coming to my house because he indicated on the report that I was not home even though we spoke on my porch. I immediately contacted Experigreen to cancel automatic payment and tell them what happened. I also told them not to bill my account since the work was not done and then spoke to Lilly and terminated their services. They billed me anyways on the same day and I received a reminder email about this outstanding bill. I called and was told they would not void the bill and that my only option is to have them come back out. When I refused because I don't trust them, I was told that I can explain that to the collection agency! No way! Never had such horrible customer service!"

"Calvin was who called me back and he said in order for them to come out and give me a service I would have to sign an agreement that I would continue with them for a year. When I asked what happens if I'm not happy with the job, Calvin said it would be no problem to discontinue. Well, I wan't happy with the job, though the tech that came out to service our home was very nice and professional. However, it did not take care of my pest problem so after 2 tries I cancelled. Now they are saying I have to pay a disconnect fee per the agreement. I told them what I was told and all they would say is "I apologize." Clearly this is a rehearsed line that they've told others. I would have to say that this is a dishonest company. Saying what it takes to get the job and then holding you responsible for their poor work. I am a bit cautious to say the least to go with Angies again if this is whom they are recommending."

"I hired the company and paid a deposit. They put me on the schedule for around 10am. No one showed up and I called. They said I was on the schedule for 2p. 2p came and went and still no one showed up. I have requested a refund for my deposit because they are unreliable. They are high price too"

At Greenix Pest Control, we know that effective pest control is a process, not a one-time fix.

"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

"As the director of a non-profit organization in a small town, I know how unusual it is to find such a capable, knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt technician to come and help with unwelcome “visitors” to your property. We could not have asked for a better experience in dealing with an ant invasion, along with skunks and racoons burrowing under our buildings. Gerrod was always pleasant to deal with and diligent to explain the procedures and costs involved. He responded quickly and took care of our problems in a most timely manner.

Pest Control questions, answered by experts

Contact pest control if you have a stink bug infestation that you need to eliminate quickly. It’s difficult to kill them without crushing them and releasing their signature odor, or without using a toxic insecticide. Some homeowners have had luck with peppermint oil sprays or soapy water traps. But a professional exterminator will have the best advice and course of action.

The hardest ant to get rid of is the pharaoh ant. Although small, pharaoh ants can spread infections in hospitals and are known to transmit infectious diseases in schools, apartment complexes, and office buildings. For this reason, they’re best handled by pest control professionals.

While pressure-treated wood offers extra protection against decay and insects, it’s not entirely immune to termites. These pests can still snack on treated wood, so if you spot them, be ready for termite treatment costs that range anywhere from $73 to $1,730. However, your final price ultimately depends on how bad the infestation is and the treatment method. To keep your deck and home safe, regular inspections and preventative measures — like sealing gaps around the home and installing screens on doors and windows — are essential to protect your home, saving you from costly repairs in the future.

Ant and termite infestations look very different. Since termites feed on wood, one of the warning signs of their presence is drooping drywall, peeling paint, loose floor tiles, and crumbling wood. On the other hand, ants feed on plant- and animal-based food options, so you’ll likely spot a colony near your home’s food sources. If you’re unsure what type of pest infestation you have, hire a pest control specialist to inspect for you.

Stay calm and avoid acting like a threat. Avoid swatting at the wasps or yelling, which will agitate wasps and make them more likely to attack. Instead, move away at a slow, steady pace in one direction, getting as much distance between you and the wasps as possible. 

Wasps swarm to protect their nest, so moving far away indicates you are not a threat and they should subside. Do not try to handle a wasp nest filled with agitated wasps. Wait until they call down before you take action, or trust in a professional.
