"Both the inspector and the treatment guy were very friendly and professional. The inspector assessed our problem as an infection with fleas from a pet bird and he appeared to be right, however, the treatment guy said that he should have also checked for bedbugs. The treatment for fleas seem to have corrected our problem."

"I used them for mosquito control Weather has a major impact on scheduling, so it was hard to set firm dates for service. Always showed up once they were scheduled. Treatments provided significant, but not total relief from mosquito problem. Price was good compared to other services. Techs were always pleasant and professional."

"Pros: The people on the phone are really nice and helpful.
Cons: We found the lack of control over our service providers incredibly frustrating. Some of their service providers were really poor. One guy mailed me the parts and told me to fix the thing myself -- not because of anything I had done; just because he had better things to do and he knew that he wasn't going to lose AHS's business. Also, if your deductible costs more than the work would ordinarily cost, you still have to pay the full deductible. Finally, if you have a question, you have to wait on the phone for a full year and a day before anyone answers.
In the end, we decided that it wasn't really saving us much money, was making repairs take longer than they used to, and that we wanted to choose our own (better) service providers.
