Description of Work: They were very responsive to a mole problem and came out the same day. The person who came out to bait the trap was excellent. However that was to be the extent of the service. When pressed, the exterminator promised to do a follow up for no charge which he did. I thought there would be more help such as collecting dead animals and more than one bait check for the price.

We had chipmunks get into the wall in the house on a Sunday. We called a nationally advertised company on Sunday & again on Monday who never called back . We contacted Midwest, they came right out, found where they had gotten in and took care of the problem.

I called and they dispatched the next day. The person doing the work gave me an explanation of the process before starting. I watched him from inside as he sprayed and dug out the nest. He also explained there could be a few lingering bees for a couple days but they would eventually leave. I was glad he told me this so that I wasn't concerned as a few did come back. After a few days they were totally gone. I have used these folks a few times over the years and have always been extremely pleased with their service. Once I had plans on a Saturday and was told, don't worry we will just leave the bill in the mailbox. On another occasion I was afraid I had termites on my roof. I had sprayed bug killer and when they arrived there was no evidence. I was charged for a termite inspection and the next day they called me & said they were tearing up my check because based on the report they had not really done anything. I would recommend them to anyone in the western suburbs. They are good friendly people and care about their customers.
Description of Work: I had a nest of ground bees that need to be eliminated. Do not attempt this yourself! I read on line how easy this is, but then got to the posting of people who tried this and wound up in the hospital with multiple stings and complications. The person doing the work explained how the nest was actually away from the opening. Had I attempted this I would have only been spraying the opening, not into the nest. I also had no idea how large the nest was, it was scary to see what he pulled out of the ground.

We like them and recommend them.
Description of Work: :Lots of big trees where we live, and carpenter ants used to find their way into the house most every spring. Or at least they used to. Seems that our recent filling of the exterior wall stud cavities with Airkrete insulation my have have finally stopped the problem in our 100+ year old home. Anyway, according to my records, we've called upon Midwest Exterminating in the spring of 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2009. Every time, they've been prompt, friendly, thorough, and effective. Charges have ranged from $240 to $290 for our (roughly) 1800 ft2 house.

There were a few bees remaining in the home after the service was completed. That was to be expected, but they did stop the problem. I found the service very expensive. I had not done much price comparing beforehand.
Description of Work: I used them for exterminating of bees.

I am very upset with this company. I have called them 3 times now because I still have a carpenter ant problem in my home and they were supposed to come out one time for 1000 dollars and get rid of them all guaranteed. It never happened that way. They came out and I still have the problem and now they won't return my phone calls at all.

When they came and sprayed the first time, the bees moved so they came a second time, free of charge. Their price was great. They are accommodating with scheduling the work to be done and are very friendly. They are good at what they do.
Description of Work: We had problems with bees, so they sprayed the outside of my 2,100 square foot home. The bees were under the eaves.

Very responsive and provided valuable information as to our pest problems. They also pointed out an ant nest that led to the discovery of a roof leak and water damaged wood. We've used them twice now and also back for a quick follow up.
Description of Work: Sprayed around the house and in the basement for insects and rodents.

While their office rep on phone is very knowledgeable/professional, the actual exterminator seemed to care less. Our problem is still not resolved after three months and they drag their feet on coming to refill poison trays. With small kids in house, I need a more responsive company that shows quick results. Unimpressed.
Description of Work: Company was supposed to rid us of mice that entered during construction of addition on our house.

THE PEOPLE AT MIDWEST QUICKLY IDENTIFIED THAT I HAD YELLOW JACKETS. THEY ASKED SOME QUESTIONS AND GAVE ME A QUOTE ON THE PHONE (I ALSO HAD A $15-OFF COUPON FROM THE PHONE BOOK, WHICH HELPED A LITTLE). THE GENTLEMAN SHOWED UP WITHIN A COUPLE HOURS AND KILLED THE NEST QUICKLY AND WAS GONE IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. HE ANSWERED ALL OUR QUESTIONS AND SAID THE BEES THAT WERE NOT IN THE NEST AT THE TIME WOULD SWARM AROUND OUTSIDE FOR ABOUT AND HOUR AND THEN DISAPPEAR, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. IT HAS NOW BEEN 3 WEEKS AND NO SIGN OF ANY BEES AT ALL. GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT RESULTS! PLUS GUARANTEE FOR A YEAR.
Description of Work: I HAD DISCOVERED A FEW BEES IN MY SON'S BEDROOM AND FOUND A HOLE IN DRY WALL NEAR THE CEILING. WASN'T SURE WHAT KIND OF BEES THEY WERE OR HOW DIFFICULT IT WOULD BE TO GET RID OF THEM SO I LOOKED UP SOME LOCAL EXTERMINATING COMPANIES AND CHECKED ANGIE'S LIST TO CONFIRM MY CHOICE AND THEN DECIDED TO CALL MIDWEST EXTERMINATING TO SEE WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE. I USUALLY TRY TO FIX MOST THINGS MYSELF, BUT DIDN'T THINK I COULD HANDLE THIS ON MY OWN.
