Taylor Termite & Pest Control, LLC

I WAS a paying customer of Taylor Pest Control and maintained a contract for pest services. The technician that serviced my property was the ONLY reason I stayed as long as I did with this company. I am no longer a customer because of the following: Office staff is incompetent, lies and has failed to respond to service requests. Brad Taylor whom I was told was the owner, would rather cover for them instead of provide the services that I paid for. My initial issue was that I signed a contract and it was subsequently lost by office staff and I did not receive service for months until I inquired about why my property has not been sprayed in about six months. Second, after never having a pest issue since purchasing this property in 2018, I had an ant infestation this past Friday and called to request service since I had a contract with them. I left a message at 9am after no one answered the business phone. I called back multiple times throughout the morning because with Easter being on Sunday and family coming to visit, I did not want to spend the holiday with ants crawling all around the house and guests. Finally, later in the day, I get a call from Taylor Pest and was advised that they were closed "since it was a Federal holiday" I was perplexed as I knew this was not true, and advised the caller of such. The story then changed and was then advised that the reason now was because they are a small company and like to treat their staff well. I guess Brad thinks it is more important to give a three day weekend for your employees than to provide services for your customers? I guess you rather your customers jump through phone prompts and leave messages rather than just advising that the business decided to close on a normal workday without notice. Anyway, after getting the runaround from them and the caller not being able to advise whether someone could come out or if I would be charged an additional fee "for emergency service", I decided to go out myself and purchase supplies to get rid of the ants. Yesterday (Monday) morning, I again called about the issue and was advised that Brad would contact me to schedule service. I did not hear him. Today, I called and after again explaining my issues with the office staff, I was eventually left a voicemail advising that I would not receive service until Thursday (a week later) which I felt was ridiculous given the circumstances. I called the office and the phone was answered by the owner (Brad Taylor) who after hearing that being a current and up to date customer with a service contract, I was not satisfied with the timeframe of waiting a week for emergency service. He decided that a contract doesn't matter and said they were no longer going to provide the service that I paid for and to look elsewhere for my pest control needs. Brad Taylor tried to state his reasoning was because of the way I treated his staff; however, if calmly providing feedback to the office staff of a company about their shortfalls and how a company that values their customer should have handled the situation is "wrong" then I don't want to continue service with this company and you probably don't want to be served by them either. I would like to add that I had not talked to the office staff between the time Brad left a voicemail advising that I was on the schedule for Thursday and my calling him to let him know my concern about the wait. So, his rational about the reason for terminating service was a lie. Now I know his office staff get their values.

Matt himself showed up on the day of heat treatment. Usually one person will come and discuss and get you to sign the contract and usually you don't see that person again. I was surprised to see Matt again. Both men were great. They heat treated the one room that had the biggest problem. They heated the room to almost 140 degrees. It took hours to get the temperature up that far and to keep it at that temperature for a while to make sure the bugs and eggs got hot enough to die. Matt told me I could call him back of I wanted another room done since we were being occasionally bitten in all 3 bedrooms. I thanked him and told him I would call again if needed. It worked, my son's bite marks are going away and his skin looks great now.

Good job, no hidden costs, professional tech, will hire in future to do fungicide treatment

The inspector refused to check under the house for termites since he determined that the entry to the crawl space was too small ( all other servicemen had entered the space without difficulty)
The inspector failed to notice termites in the house and on the outside wall.
When I showed these areas to him and demanded that the areas in the house be treated I was informed that these areas were not in the estimate and could not be treated.
THe bait stations around the house were not installed properly and moved above the soil.
The work was done with a high degree of unprofessiobnalism.

The inspectors, Matt and Paul, and applicator, Richard, were very professional, friendly and informative. The inspector (Matt) came the same day I called their company, Taylor Termite and Pest Control. The crawl space under my home is quite narrow, and Matt determined that he was not going to be able to get under my house to make a thorough inspection. So, he called another inspector (Paul), who came over that same day. Paul was under my home for about 15 minutes inspecting and reported that he saw no active termites. That was great news, however we felt the need to protect our property from any future termite invasion and decided to have the Termidor applied. Inspection was done on a Tuesday and they came to apply the termiticide that Friday. We were very happy with this company, their staff and how the product was applied. I would recommend them to anyone who wants their property protected from termites.

This is the first time I have EVER had ants....no matter what I did, they kept coming back; so I called Taylor. They came out within a couple of days. We signed up for a yr. 4 times...$85 each time. He had to come back 3 times for the ants before completely getting rid of them. We were very pleased with their responsiveness and reassurance that whatever it took...they would see it through! Yes, we are very pleased and will continue to recommend them!

I am very happy with them.  They call ahead of time to let us know when they are coming.  They are just very friendly.

rick the technition came in and looked around.....saw traces of the bug problem.........he knew where to look......told me ahead of time that i would need to remove my animals from the house and keep them and myself out for 3 hours .......after he was finished and i had paid him , he went back into my house to get my coat as it had gotten colder outside. 2 weeks later he was there for a follow up visit........this guy really put my mind at ease.........told me that we got the problem before it became a real problem
