I emailed Maddox in May when we were pondering replacing our irrigation timer with one of the new wi-fi models. I asked for 1) advice on which model to purchase; and 2) whether it would be a problem during service calls that these timers don't have controls on the unit - they are entirely operated via web or smartphone. The answers I received were 1) we don't know, they're too new and 2) no problem, the tech just needs access to the valves outside. OK, I had hoped for more knowledgeable assistance, but at least it sounds like we can pick the best one and won't have trouble getting winterized. So we purchased the most popular wi-fi controller that is readily available at Best Buy. Also in May. Our neighbors were planning to have a large tree removed on our property line. I emailed Maddox and said, do you have a way to mark the irrigation lines so the tree company doesn't destroy them. They said "I can have my guys come out and mark them for you", we just need to pay a service call and 15 minutes labor. Scheduled the appt. A day or two before, I got a phone call saying oops, we actually don't have the ability to mark sprinkler lines. Now it gets to get time to scheduled our winterization. I contacted Maddox (different employee) and said hey, we have this new controller, are you sure that's not going to be a problem. She said "as long as we can access the valves on the outside and the water is off, we do not need access to the timer." So I set up the appointment on a work day, like I always have, figuring they would do their thing and leave a bill. That morning the tech calls, we can't figure out how to work your controller. I'm in a meeting at work, so we have to reschedule the appointment, and now I need to take time off work to be home for it. They give me a window of 1-6PM. I have another commitment in the morning so I asked "can you be sure they don't come before that?". No problem, "I will see to it the service tech does not arrive until after 1PM." I got a call at 11:54AM saying the tech is running early and is on the way to my house. I get home shortly before 1 and they are in my driveway. At that point I informed them we would not require their service anymore. We have used this company since 2008 to make significant changes to our irrigation as well as annual winterizations. I've given them A's in 3 past reviews. Very disappointed in their performance this year.

Before I wrote my review, I looked at the others. The communication back and forth was very good. E-mail was better than calling, but even calls were answered in a reasonable time (24 hours in high season). They installed my system 10 plus years ago and have winterized it every year. I get a...

Cheapest quote and I was charged what I was quoted. I received a call back within 5 mins and they scheduled to come out very next day. I was killing about 5 brown spiders a day in home (possible brown recluses) and after they sprayed, I have only been finding dead ones. Jared was the guy that...

FAQs for pest control projects in Howell, MI
Different pest control methods exist to help mitigate an infestation. Not every technique will work with every pest, which is why speaking with a pest control expert is crucial to taming your problem. Different methods of pest removal include:
The cost of pest control is $175 for the average homeowner. However, you could spend as little as $100 or as much as $500 or more, depending on the infestation size, the number of visits you need, and the pest you’re exterminating.
For example, if you need to rid your home of spiders, you’ll likely be spending between $100 and $300. However, if you have a termite problem, you can expect a bill of $230 to $2,500 or more, depending on the infestation size and damage caused.
There are specific methods for pest removal that you can DIY without hiring an expert. If you are preventing pests from making an appearance or clearing out a small infestation of harmless insects, you will likely have success on your own. However, if you’re dealing with pests that eat wood, bedbugs, or other pests that carry a disease risk, like rodents, it’s always worth it to call a pest professional to help you.
Even if you’re not immediately showing signs of pests, it’s a good idea to get into the habit of routine pest control. This should be done yearly, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly, depending on your location and if any signs of infestation are already present. For example, if you live by water, you might experience more pests in the spring and summer than someone who lives in a dry climate. Discuss treatment options with your pest professional to determine a suitable schedule for you and your home.
While not every infestation is preventable, there are some actions you can take to minimize the risk of running into these pests in your home. These actions include:
Keeping your home tidy. This includes vacuuming regularly, sanitizing your kitchen, storing food in airtight containers, disposing garbage regularly, and keeping your home clutter-free.
Deep clean at least twice a year. Deep cleaning neglected crevices and corners of your home can help prevent breeding grounds from forming.
Repairing your home when needed. If your home has cracks or holes, you have an open invitation for pests to come in. Remove any standing water and seal any gaps in your floors, walls, and foundation.
Cleaning up your yard. Keep shrubbery and branches well-trimmed and away from your home. Remove fallen leaves and other debris.
Be smart with storage. If you use firewood, store it away from the home (at least 20 feet away if possible) and off of the ground.
