The exterminator, Matt, did a great job. He was pleasant, knowledgeable, and prompt. He explained everything from the ant habits to the different layers of treatment. I would definitely use them again.

First John came out to lay a few traps around the outside of the house to catch mice before they can enter it. He was very nice. Explained everything he was doing and gave me a price upfront. Then I asked John about something entering my house thru my bathroom air vent. He said this is not something he would be able to do but he would be happy to have animal control come out and check the air vent. He then scheduled the appointment for me when he went back to his office. Dave came out a few days later and he cleaned the vent and put a screen on it so nothing can get in the vent again. This time I also received the price upfront. Dave was very nice too. He gave me his card and told me to call if I had any other problem. I highly recommend this company. I was very happy with the service and the representatives they sent to my home. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: I had NW Pest control come twice to my home. Both times I received prompt service to take care of two different problems. First set traps-mouse problem and Second visit put screen on bathroom vent.

They scheduled a several hour time window to take a look at the nest, and called in the last hour of that window to say they would be a few minutes late (~ 15 minutes outside the appointment). He arrived, gave me a price for applying insecticidal dust, and I chose to have the treatment done then. The treatment was effective within 24 hours. There is apparently some residual product on my deck and around the door which I may have to clean up, but he told me which product he used so I'm not uncomfortable doing that.

[Member Name Removed], . I do apologize that the technician was 15 minutes out of range, due to unseen circumstances it can sometimes happen. This is why we use a four hour time frame. The residue you noticed could of been from the flight of wasp going into the wall area. Unfortunately any wall void nest is not as cut and dry as a visible hive. I believe there is a warranty to the area treated, if you need to have it treated again ,please call the office. You can request a first am appointment or Saturday. Thanks robin

I was told they would be out to house to give free estimate on Wednesday between 8-11am. Well, they came early, saw my problem but I was told service person couldn't do it alone. But would be back later in day to take care of nest. They did a Fantastic job! The nest is gone. Also a little bit of the nest fell in a neighbor's yard and they went and cleaned it up. (they asked neighbor first) Great Job,The wife and I couldn't be happier. Thank You GeorgeM

Many communication issues with scheduling initial consult and actual service. Office did not seem to relay the correct information to the field agents. Office did not have our quote on file. Never received reminder call as promised the day before scheduled service date. A calamity of errors. It took about 3 weeks to get it all straightened out. Service was finally performed, and no sign of ants so far 11 days later.

[Member Name Removed] Sorry to hear that you had some obstacles during the time of NW Pest treating your home. I did review the account and there was a call night before, but unfortunately it was not in the correct field.( which I understand is very frustrating) As for the estimate in the office, Our office only has the estimate when the service tech turns work in, Some of my service men are not at the office each day, so it may not get to the office staff right away. The staff does contact the service tech when an estimate is needed for scheduling purposes. I did see that we were able to accommodate you and the treatment was performed with the week. sorry for the troubles Robin

one visit the inspector was good. the other visits not so good
Description of Work: Careful when you buy a deal through Angie's the agreement goes on forever, not just one year like you think. One of the four visits they showed up in the winter, without warning (I wasn't home), inspected the sidewalk, and left an invoice. Now they are charging me $100 for this visit, regardless of endless phone calls and emails to dispute this as a "real" visit. I continue to get a bill.

[Member Name Removed] , I am sorry if things were not what expected the second service with the technician. As for the third contract, It is an a program that automatically renews unless either party cancel 30 day prior. It is in the contract signed, and I did rectify the situation when brought to my attention and credit your account for the $100 service billed before cancelation. Robin

Wonderfully. The technician, Paul, was honest and informative. He arrived well within the time frame given. He explained that damage I was seeing was not due to insects but water/ice. He answered all my questions and inspected the area of the basement that butts up on the damage area. I was so appreciative that he answered all my questions (including how to prevent or remedy infestation if needed). Before his arrival I had been worrying so many "signs" (Internet videos had heightened my anxiety about what I might be facing) and Paul's expertise, information, and communication reassured me. I will highly recommend NW to others and will keep their number for future use.
Description of Work: I feared insects (carpenter ants or termites) had cause wood damage on my back landing. I called for free estimate and inspection.

Prompt attention, inspection shortly after I called, Staff came out a few days later and sealed holes in exterior, showed me where animal had chewed his way through the the eave into our home, and showed me their findings. They set 2 kinds of traps and came out frequently to check traps. They also re-inspected the attic, since animal was not caught in trap, but noise and gnawing sounds stopped. They will keep coming by to inspect traps until we are sure animals are gone, and gave a 1 year warranty.

I was thrilled to find a company that does heat treatment so I could avoid most of the toxic chemicals. And they were able to do it with relatively short notice. Their guy was really meticulous and took lots of time to explain the process and answer my questions.

So I called NW to remove a wasp's nest on the side of my house and to help do a quick check around the perimeter of my house to ensure there weren't any more. A month or so later, I called them again (using a different coupon) for an ant problem. Their team recognized that I had called them for two different services and offered to put me on a contract. Where some companies might take the money and call it a day, they saw that the money I had already paid was equal to the cost of a contract and with better coverage, so I jumped at the chance. While under contract, they scheduled a couple of more visits and even recognized a mouse problem I didn't even know I had. Overall I am very happy with the services provided and especially their customer service, who I feel went above and beyond. I am already looking to renew my contract for this year, since my area has a bit of a wasp and ant problem. i recommend them to anyone who reads this and will recommend to friends and neighbors as well.

We noticed a bunch of carpenter ants in the common areas of our triple decker. NW came and treated the exterior foundation. The service was fast. The technician was very informed and shared what he was doing. Work came with a 6 mos guarantee. I would definitely use their services again (but hopefully we won't have to)!

That was part of the plan, but it cost me $100 anyway. They usually give me a call to let me know that they are coming out and I can tell them not to, or I can tell them I?m busy that day or whatever. They give me a heads up before they come out. Price is something I?m not sure of, I think they?re pricey, I?ve nothing to compare them with. I?ve thought of trying someone else just for fun, just to see what the price would be, but I?ve been having such good luck that maybe I won?t. Like I say, if I cancel these guys and try someone else, and the others, maybe they won?t be as good, maybe they be less money, but these guys are doing a good job. So, I think I will let them ride.
Description of Work: I think I’m on a maintenance plan with them, they come out automatically. I had quite a problem and I have no problems anymore. They just did the one house. I guess they just kind of looked it over, because they let me know. They looked to see if there had been any action, and there hadn’t been. So, they said that I’m good.

The first time was like “WOW”, everything they put down disappeared quick. But, we got rid of them all, everybody’s happy.
Description of Work: They looked for droppings and found quite a bit. They put poison down in the areas where they saw there was traffic. Then they came back in about a month and they were really eating it up. The first time they were there almost every month, because they were eating a lot of the bait. Then after a while, they were not eating, like lately, they have not been eating anything. So, now they don’t need to come out as often. They don’t really do much now. They just kind of check to see if it’s okay.
