They did a good job. They were punctual, very quickly understood the problem, and they fixed it.

The overall experience was great. Jon the technician felt confident in doing his job and made me and my daughter feel comfortable as well. Thanks Quick Kill Exterminating for your professional expertise.
Description of Work: I called Quick Kill Exterminating on 3/21/12 @ like 11:00 am. My daughter and I had pulled in the garage at about 10:00 am from the grocery store, when my daughter notice a wasp nest and like 5-8 wasp flying in the garage. We are so terrified of insects. I came in the house and got on Angie List and read the review for Quick Kill and I called them and the young lady answered the phone, could here my panic. I am so thankful for her. She contacted Jon the technician, and he was at my house by 2:00 pm. He sprayed the garage and around my house, and found 2 other wasp nest. He removed them and sprayed and I haven't seen any wasp. Quick Kill Exterminating also gave me a 30 day guarantee on corrective treatment. Jon also informed me of the different services and also informed me to go to their website for other treatment options. Thank you so much Quick Kill Exterminating. I will use you in the future and will always give your company a referral.

These guys are great... family owned and these are good people. They enjoy what they do and it shows. Had a great time talking with them as they worked and like I said it has been effective. They also know we are trying to save money, and mentioned that after a while, we could even go to an every 4 month treatment, so we wouldn't be paying as much on an annual basis. Will work with them for as long as I'm in the area. Really can't recommend them highly enough!!!
Description of Work: 1st visit involved setting mouse traps and poison, and a follow up visit which confirmed no activity (we recently moved in and found evidence of mice). ($295) During first visit, mentioned silverfish sightings and they bombed our attic. ($50) 2nd visit involved treatment of house for carpenter ants. Determined they were coming from a nearby tree into the house. Did the drilling and spraying and we've only seen 2 inside the house since, both dead. ($300) We then talked about the maintenance plan, which we'd turned down initially (we brought it up, they didn't). We basically got to sign up for the cost of the carpenter ant treatment, minus the $50 we'd spent for the attic bomb. Low cost for peace of mind....

I called Quick Kill to stop our carpenter ant problem from getting any worse. Sybill at Quick Kill was very friendly, gave me an estiimate and set up an appointment within a three hour window for the following day. Our technician, Greg, arrived on time and was friendly and professional. He drilled some very small holes in our walls around the baseboard to kill any colonies, sprayed near the walls inside and around the perimeter of the house on the outside. I was home the entire time (the job took around 1.5 hours). There was minimal noise, NO odor and the cost was the same as the estimate. I am very satisfied with the result and would recommend Quick Kill to my friends, although, to be honest, I hope to never have to use them again.

I was very happy with their expertise and the advice they gave me over the phone, rather than coming out and charging me for a treatment that may or may not have worked to eliminate my particular wasp problem--saved me $200! I would definitely call them again for any pest problem I may have in the future due to the trust they have built with me.

Saw a mouse, and freaked out. Joined Angies List to find a reputable exterminator. After reading reviews, Quick Kill stood out amongst all the others. Called in early AM, and within a few hours, I had a technician at my house. He was very helpful, very professional, and I think they are great. Would recommend them to everyone.

It didn't go well because this company didn't bother, or couldn't be bothered to come out and to even see what was going on in our home. I haven't called them back yet, still in shock that a company that was rated so highly could make such a huge mistake by telling us what to do, over the phone, and in turn, it has damaged areas around my drains -- permanently -- and it made the problem worse!
Description of Work: I called the office, spoke to the receptionist, who was very nice..............told her the problem I was having and gave her as much detail as possible. She recommended that I speak to a "tech" and that she would give him my name and number and he would call me back that same day. He did call me back at the end of the day -- left a voicemail. I called him back and OVER the phone, without asking any questions -- simply stated that there wasn't anything they could do for my problem -- it was a "drain bug" problem and I should buy tons of bleach and pour it down all of the drains in my house -- frequently. He stated that "may" do it, but couldn't guarantee it would eliminate the problem -- and than ended the call. I did as he told, and as a result, we damaged our drains, burned off the aluminum and didn't do a thing for the problem. Next day, I called another service, who is also on Angie's list and they were highly professional -- stating that they can't kill something until they know what the problem was................and came by to pick up a sample....................next day.............diagnosed what the problem was and stated that the bleach makes it worse, these bugs, "phorid flies" like acid.................worst thing I could have done. Well, for a total of $50.00 the problem has been solved by a highly skilled company.

Response from Quick Kill Exterminating Co
There are several Google sites confirming that bleach will help to kill bacteria in which drain flies breed.As a rule we recommend one quart of bleach in drains.The majority of issues can be resolved by this simple approach so people do not have to incur service call fees.Our feedback from clients is that they appreciate the fact that we do not take their money needlessly and they often call us in the future with other pest problems .

He came out and sprayed the entire inside of the house. He told us to put our dogs outside for 30 minutes, so they would not get sick.
Description of Work: He was wonderful. He went down to the crawl space and sprayed, we haven't had any bugs since. We are planning on signing up for their 4 times a year preventitive program.

We had a mouse problem in our basement area. I had been working on blocking the critter holes all summer and when fall hit, we were still getting them in our utility room. We called Quick Kill and they came out pretty quickly. Unfortunately, I was not able to be there when they came -- my husband was there though but he had no idea the area or the work I did on the utility room or even where he thought the mice problem was. The technician did an inspection but since I was not there, he did not know the details. After some crazy phone calls with Mark (sorry Mark!), the owner finally figured out that I needed to be there when the technician was there. When Mick, the technician showed up, I told him what I did and how, we did a thorough walk around the inside and outside of the house. (By the way, he is very good!!) Than he found the issue. My next door neighbor. We are in a town house and share one wall. Our next door neighbor had a mouse highway hole in the back of his unit (maybe two!). They were coming in through his utility room and coming into ours. I contacted my neighbor right away and he plugged up the hole. Sure enough, no mice since than! This was is exactly what we hired Quick Kill for! The technician did take the time to educate us about the small critters and suggested for us to do other things around the house to totally critter proof our house which we will be doing in the spring. That was great! Quick Kill is true to their word. They will make sure to take care of the issue even if they have to come by many times. Even though I was a crazy person on the phone, they were still professional. And I appreciated that.. I would hire them again in a heartbeat..

Our technician is very punctual and professional. He found mice activity in both our attics. basement and crawl space. Traps were put in all areas (plus our garage), and are cleaned out and refreshed monthly. After the first visit we immediately stopped seeing signs of mice in our living spaces. The number of mice trapped has gone down significantly from visit to visit. The technician removes all garbage without any of us seeing the evidence. Technician was very sensitive to my requests and concerns related to our young children. We signed up for a yearly contract, but will not have any preventive spraying. We have an organic garden, and the services will not affect that. It will cover, in addition to the mice, removal of any wasp nests, etc...
Description of Work: We returned from Thanksgiving vacation to find our house infested with mice. There were mouse droppings in our kitchen, including on counter tops and by the trash can and table (all of which had been cleaned before we left town). After a few days of trying humane trapping on our own, we realized that we needed professional help. Quick Kill was the first company to respond to our numerous phone messages. We paid for a mouse treatment, which included follow-up visits, and were so pleased that we signed a yearly contract (never again with the mice--ughh).

We called Quick Kill after our cat caught (and released) his third mouse in four days. We had never had mice before. Quick Kill responded immediately and Mick was on my doorstep within 90 minutes. He has such a reassuring aura of calm and competence that I felt better immediately. He took great care in identifying possible entries, placing baits and traps, and explaining everything he did each step of the way, and he was very considerate about the pet question. He told us what to expect, and what to do if various situations occurred before his return visit. We haven't seen a mouse since. A week later Mick returned to check on the traps and baits, and once again made me feel immeasurably reassured. Thank you, Mick!

The visit went very well. They’ve done a great job. We are in a kind of a rural area and all of those areas had pests. Overall the job they do is excellent. They are responsive and polite. They always come when they say they are going to be here. We will use their services again in the future.
Description of Work: We used Quick Kill Exterminating Co for pest control. We last used their services probably in August. They do pest control for us and sprayed for wasps which has been a problem for us. They also do general bug spraying for the house and they also put baits for mice.

They were wonderful. They were willing to come out but my husband refused to have them out. The interaction with them was great. They were very helpful. The mosquito programme that they had was for multi callers and I was trying to co-ordinate that. I ended up working with the mosquito abatement programme that repaired Texas too. So they came out and did a re-treatment which is why I didn’t go with the programme, and also because there’s no need to do that now. They were phenomenal and they followed up. I contacted them first over the internet and then they called probably within forty five minutes. I will absolutely use their services again in the future.

They came the day after I called and they said they would come back three days later if we saw anything. They didn’t try to push some plan on us which is good because we just needed this particular thing accomplished. The price seemed reasonable to me.

Based on Angie reports, I called Quick Kill. They came the next day as requested to eliminate several carpenter wasps, yellow jacket and black bee nests. They were prompt, proficient and professional. They sprayed outside the entire house, and then targeted the wasps with special treatments. This was my first time using them and would be my first choice in exterminators if I ever need any future exterminator service again. Offered to sell me an annual program in a professional manner, but I declined. Absolutely no pressure, just an emphasis on the benefits. I highly recommend this family business that obviously takes pride in their work.

I called QuickKill exterminators to discuss removal of some wasps nests on our home and they apologized that they couldn't arrive at our house for a few hours--wow, that's FAST service!! I actually scheduled the appointment for the next morning due to my schedule constraint. I was very pleased that the business owner himself arrived at our home on time and managed the removal of 3 wasp nests located in various locations around our home. He then took preventative action to mitigate the likelihood that the flying buggers would return. He offered to return within a couple of weeks if the wasps decided to return. The wasps did not return!! Nice people, good service. Would def. call them again!

Called in the morning and Marc came out the same day, at the time promised. He spent a fair amount of time determining where the ants were coming from and making sure that they didn't just scatter but that the fix would be permanent. He was professional and seemed very knowledgeable. It has now been fully 2 weeks and I haven't seen any more ants. I would certainly use Quick Kill Exterminating again.
Description of Work: I called Quick Kill Exterminating to take care of an ant problem - the little bitty ones that showed up the instant there was any food anywhere on the counter or table. Marc set traps in the kitchen and sprayed outside and in the basement, under the sink and around the baseboards on the first floor. He also treated one of the upstairs bedrooms where I occasionally saw ants when we left food on the bedside table.
