A representative came out in the morning to review my property and the specific areas that needed to be sprayed. He was actually ready to do the work that day, but I needed to confirm other estimates. The other estimates were either to comprehensive for our property, or didn't seem to specifically address my problem. No other company offered to come out for a review. That made a huge difference for us. All of my questions were answered fully, including concerns about the odor of the spray and toxicity. I called NW the next day and scheduled the appt. for a week later. The rep. was a bit early, but fortunately I was ready. The work was performed in about 1/2 hour. The same representative came out, which helped a lot since he knew the specifics of the problem and areas to pay attention to. It's been almost one month and I have not seen one centipede. I will definitely use NW Pest Control again.
Description of Work: Needed extermination for centipedes. Just starting to appear, but last year's problem prompted action early this year. Needed an estimate and advice and a convenient schedule for the spraying.

I ended up not using their services, at least not yet, because I was hoping to avoid poisoning the rodents. However now I think I know how they are getting in the house (it was a hidden place in the garage there is no way Dave could have seen) so I may call them back and see if they do hole blocking etc. I feel very positively about this company based on the experience I have had with them thus far.
Description of Work: I called them because I heard rodents in my walls. The woman was very nice and even tried to get me a same day appointment (on a Saturday) because she could tell I was freaked out. That wasn't possible,but she scheduled me for first thing Monday morning. The technician, Dave, arrived right on time on Monday morning and was polite, professional and very knowledgeable and helpful. He looked over the attic and even walked my foundation to see if he could see any holes. He described the type of pest control that they do and gave me an estimate of what it would cost right then which I thought was reasonable. He addressed my concerns and took the time to answer all my questions.

This company is a great value. We initially put our pest control services out to bid, and NW was the least expensive by a good margin. They are organized, and willing to roll with the punches. They are responsive to customer service issues, and they are polite and respectful to our tenants. The owner is always just a phone call or e-mail away, and we couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: (1, 2, 3, 4 Bedroom Apartments and Single Room Occupancy Buildings): 37 aggregate units and all common areas are serviced monthly. Rat-trap bait is replaced monthly as part of regular service. If the 37 aggregate visits are not used initially, the visits can be used during the remainder of the month, but they will not be carried into the next month. No charge for additional service during the month at selected properties.

I talked to the owner and they are refunding half the money back. This result is very satisfactory.
Description of Work: We thought their were bugs in the house because my daughter developed a rash that we thought was from bug bites, because it seemed to be worse in the morning. We called NW Pest Control to come and check. They came out promptly to do the initial spraying. They did not find any bugs in the house, but we took their advice to spray because of the rash. It turned out to be psoriasis and we asked NW for a price reduction since there were no bugs and we didn't need the remainder of our contract.

I can't say enough about this company! Everyone there is so knowledgeable, so patient, so professional. All the employees the company has sent to our house have been very professional and willing to explain things. This last time, the exterminator walked through the basement with me, pointing out suspicious areas, showing me the traps he re-baited, offering me all sorts of advice on pest control. I never thought I would say this, but I'm so happy with our exterminating company!

We've used N W Pest Control before for yellow jackets and they did an effective job on those, too. The carpenter ants are gone so we're very pleased with them. They are in and out with no hassles and they don't try to sell you extra services. It was also nice that they were friendly and remembered us and our names. They were prompt and professional, and not pushy.
Description of Work: We had them come to spray inside and outside for all insects but especially for carpenter ants.

NW Pest Control Inc. is a fine and upstanding business. They reassured me that I didn't have cockroaches and didn't charge me anything at all for all of the checking and the service call. I was very impressed with this. We just recently moved here and they still came right away and were just very pleasant and courteous.

They were very polite through this whole process. There was clearly carpenter ants coming into the house and they were very knowledgeable about that. They were very responsive when I called them. They came right out, looked around and educated me very much on the life cycle. I am very pleased with them. They quoted $865 for the termites and $150 for the carpenter ants.

The first time they came they had the wrong area code for my phone and couldn't find us in the back yard so we had to reschedule. They were very accommodating with the rescheduling. Kevin came out later on the next business day and inspected the place. He had to leave before finishing, but sprayed part of one condo so that we would not have to bother our neighbor again. He came back the next day (at our convenience) to finish spraying. He was very courteous and did a quick, but thorough, job.
Description of Work: Sprayed for carpenter ants that we had found in our back porch. Also treated the inside of all three condominiums in our association to prevent them from escaping into the house.

Description of Work: NW removed mice from garage and flying squirrels from attic. They searched all crawl spaces for signs of animal 'visits', set traps, and removed any captured creatures.

They came the next day after I called. They sprayed the hive and eliminated all of the wasps. We were advised to let the hive come down by itself but it was so ugly and scary looking that I ended up knocking it down my self (after waiting a few days to make sure everything was dead). Overall quick, professional, and efficient. Would have been nice if they had removed the hive however.

Called NW Pest Control for an estimate, the office stated that a visit was required to provide the most accurate estimate. We made an appointment for the following day, the office said the technician would arrive between 9 and 12. At 10:30 that day the technician called to say he was running late, when asked "how late" he replied "about 30 minutes". At 12:30 the technician arrived, and apologized sincerely for being late. Explained how it had happened but did not make excuses, said if we agreed to the service, he would deduct $50.00 from the bill to compensate for the late arrival. During the inspection he was very open and informative, described how the treatment would work, the time, the chemicals and answered any and all questions. We called the following day and made an appointment for 2 days later. Technician arrived on time, asked if we prefer him to start inside or outside, once he began he was very careful and thorough.
Description of Work: Treat interior and exterior of house for carpenter ants. Confirm the existence of and treat ant nests.

My initial call was answered by a human being; the initial visit was scheduled promptly and the representative showed up exactly when he said he would; he was polite and knowledgeable about the types of insects we had; he examined the interior and exterior of the house and provided an estimate on the spot; he also had additional information on the types of chemicals that would be used and gave clear explanation of how long it would take, how long we would have to be out of the house, and what it would accomplish. While we were are only a few days post extermination, I am very happy with the company and the way it related to us; I thought the estimate was reasonable; the work was guaranteed for six months. So it remains to be seen if the carpenter bees and ant are really gone but I am very happy with the service.
Description of Work: Company examined the house, inside and out, for ants, bees, and mice, and returned about a week later to do an initial spraying/dusting.

Everything went great. Very rapid response to our request for an evaluation and the technician was at the house a mere two days later. We've seen the impact of the pest control program already, especially as regards ants and mice. Only "surprise" was that we had to vacate the house for a couple of hours after interior spraying for ants, but this wasn't a huge problem for us. Great technician and, in fact, everyone at the company was both pleasant and professional.
Description of Work: Sprayed for insects around the outside of the house as well as inside the dwelling. The technician also set out rodent bait throughout the house and in the attached garage and attached shed.
