Varmint Guard representative was very friendly and not too pushy over the phone. She gave me a per room estimate over the phone. I called a few other places and they were the cheapest and the only company that offered a 90 day no cost guarantee, so I called them back. They came on the day I requested and were on time. The worker who came to the house tried to give me another estimate after he "looked at the place". I told him I had already gotten a quote over the phone and that was all I was paying. He told me they usually don't do that, tried to phone the office and couldn't get through, and then filled the work order for the amount I was originally quoted. We told him there was evidence of mice. He said he thought that was the problem, but didn't check for mice or ways they could get in. However, we haven't seen any fleas since!
Description of Work: Varmint Guard sprayed our house for fleas.

Brad came out to give me an estimate, and was very friendly and prompt. He put out a trap on the roof the same day. Then William came out everyday to check the traps and replace as necessary. After 2.5 weeks, 9 squirrels were caught. William closed up the holes as well as installed copper flashing on a couple other areas as preventative maintenance. (They only come out during the weekend if you call to say an animal has been caught in the cage.)
Description of Work: Caught squirrels that were getting into attic space and closed up holes in underside of roof.

The company representative had a wonderful sense of humor while explaining mice habits. He assured me that I could be free of the little critters even though I live with a woods behind me. The plan is to set bait on the inside and in garage then they treat the outside around the house so they don't want to come in. They come back every 3 months to treat the outside and that is $110 and the contract was for a year. I am to immediately call them if I see any evidence of mice. I was very happy and feel sure this is the answer to my problem. I would recommend this company. They were a pleasure to deal with and gave me some good laughs too. I would have paid more money to get rid of the critters that kept scaring me.
Description of Work: They treated the interior and exterior of our home for mice.

They came out, figured out the problem for us (raccoon coming in a malfunctioning cat door), gave us recommendations (easy to do), and didn't charge us a thing (since they didn't think they needed to set a trap). They gave us a cell phone to call back if that didn't resolve the problem (but that DID resolve the problem). We were very impressed and well-satisfied. They were on time and very polite.
Description of Work: We clearly had some sort of animal getting into our basement and making a mess.

Mick was professional, about 15 minutes early (which never happens) and did a great inspection. He explained what his company already does for our condo community. He was efficient but yet did not hurry.
Description of Work: A representative, Mick, came to inspect the inside of my condo unit to make sure that no pests of any kind existed. He made a thorough inspection, found a couple of spiders, checked basement and outside and determined that everything was OK. This cost me nothing and gave me peace of mind.

The technician was friendly, neat, honest, and knowledgeable. He did a very good job. I would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: We had sparrows nesting in the corners of our window dormers. Varment Guard came out, gave an estimate, and a week later a technician removed the nests, disinfected and then sealed off the openings. Because there were fewer nests than they thought, he reduced the amount of the original estimate.

Called to schedule an appointment on Memorial Day, and received a return call first thing Tuesday morning. Worked with me on a time to suit my schedule, arrived promptly and walked with me around the property to identify and explain what was happening in the problem areas - eaves, deck, pool - affected by paper wasps and carpenter bees, and even gave suggestions on things we could do ourselves to help ward off the problem. Explained the spray they used would eliminate these pests as they returned to their nests, and that they would stay away the whole season. The wasps and bees have totally disappeared from our property and Varment Guard has guaranteed to return at no charge if they are again sighted this season. With kids outside a lot with a pool and friends, it is truly peace of mind to not have to worry about these pests. We will definitely call them again next year.

Varment Guard responded to my request for an estimate fairly quickly. Their staff is tidy and professional.
Description of Work: I discovered some holes in my house/deck/fence that were attributed to carpenter bees. I needed some insect control to stop the bees from drilling more holes in my house. Although the carpenter bees are not active at this time, I had Varment Guard treat the problem areas. Varment Guard said that their treatment would last 3 months and should kill any bees that hatch and come into contact with the treatment this year.

I called Varment Guard and they sent an associate, Mark, out the next day to provide an estimate. He was on time and prepared to do the work if I agreed. Mark and the person who took my call were polite and professional. It's been a week and I haven't seen any more bees. I would definitely use this company again.

The company responded to our call promptly, and their representative was polite, friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly, the rep quoted one price for squirrel catching and removal. All of the other companies that I called wanted to charge per squirrel and per daily trip to check the traps. (Who wants to enter into an open-ended agreement?) We were very pleased with the results, and would definitely use this company again.
Description of Work: We had (can you believe it!) ten squirrels who had taken up residence in our attic. Varment Guard removed all of them over a three-week period. After removing the squirrels, they closed up the entry hole the squirrels had made.

Company was very responsive and had a representative out to my house within a day to assess situation and provide estimate. Getting the actual bird removal scheduled and completed took a little longer than I would have liked. Estimate was provided on 5/16/06; birds were not removed until 5/25/06. Work quality, however, once completed, was very good. Birds have not returned.
Description of Work: Removed birds that had pried open metal soffit panel over garage door. Technician found nest with eggs which was also removed. Soffit panel was secured with screws and area was disinfected.

We were very disappointed in the level of service that we received. A scribbled bill in a mailbox is not enough of an explanation as to what was found. We are not even very confident that the tech went up onto the roof. The ground did not look disturbed anywhere by the house indicating that a ladder was placed. None of our neighbors saw someone on the roof. When the tech discovered that we were not home, the inspection should not have been completed. Or if it was completed, the tech should have called us to explain the bill. Instead we had to initiate the conversation. On the plus side, the customer service representatives/schedulers were very nice, and also helpful.
Description of Work: We had requested that animals be removed from our non-functioning chimney, and that it be capped to prevent further four-legged residents. The tech came a day earlier than the day that was scheduled, and inspected the chimney without anyone from our family there. We were both at work. We know this because there was a bill left in our mailbox. The notes on the bill were not very clear. My husband called the company, and according to the representative that he spoke to, there were not animals present at this time, but was evidence that they had been in the unsealed part of the chimney. The tech also reported that the chimney was not capped because it had crumbling bricks and mortar. The customer service rep did apologize for the confusion.

Brad came out to do the estimate. He was on time, courteous, and friendly. We agreed on the work to be done. A time was later scheduled by phone. The person had a four-hour window to complete the work. I was home the whole time. I called 45 minutes after the window had closed to ask why noone came to do the work, and was told that someone was here at the beginning of the time slot. I never heard a knock on the door and the doorbell never rang. They finally agreed to come at another time (it turns out I didn't even need for them to be home to perform the work since I am a Total Gold Package member). Other than finding lots of feathers on the roof and driveway, the work was completed satisfactorily. I just wish they could have done it on their first visit to our house.
Description of Work: We had a sparrow nesting in the corner of our roof underneath a dormer window. Varment Guard came out to remove the bird and its nest. They also added some flashing to remove the hole where the nest had been and sanitized the area.
