I think these folks know what they are doing, but communication and follow up is poor. I will try another company as I search for expertise and professional communication.

Great! They were out within a day when I called and the young man who came were very prompt on responding to my need and very knowledgeable on what he's doing and was careful to check the source of removal, thorough in applying the chemical and I highly recommend them and they're reasonable.

Noticed a couple mouse droppings in my basement so I called Plunkett's - my landlord at a previous location swore by them for pest control. I signed up for the exterior service. Plunkett's was very responsive from the start. Person came out within a business day or two of my first contact, she very thoroughly inspected the exterior of my house and plugged all the possible mouse-entry homes. This included happily fighting through very painful and thorn-ridden landscaping to make sure she wouldn't miss even an inch of stucco when checking for holes. On the interior, I already had several traps placed in my basement, so the person suggested I skip the full interior service (where they set and check traps) and instead just made recommendations of how I could better place the traps. She also noticed one successful capture and removed it for me. Very hard working and thorough, would call again but hopefully that's not necessary...

Shady operation. Signed up for a year long contract & they did not deliver services promised & charged us again when we called them to fulfill the original service agreement. Service rep told us one thing & corporate just wanted to stick us with another contact & fees. AVOID!

Over the course of figuring this termite thing out I dealt with five Plunkett's employees, and they were fantastic. Professional, punctual, and thorough. They went over the house with a fine-toothed comb looking for live termite activity (found two locations) and installed a Sentricon bait system. They were very good communicators and explained everything they were doing and looking for. (I ask a lot of questions.) There are off-the-shelf termite control products out there, but it was important to me to put it in professional hands.

Initially good customer service and they signed us up for a one year contract that called for regular visits/maintenance. They did show up a couple of times but quit coming half way through. When we called them to make good on the contract the rep offered to come out to visit again at no charge. Then we received an invoice for another full year of services which we did not want or authorize. We called the rep numerous times to correct the situation and he promised time and time again to handle it. He didn't and they turned us over to collections and the management refused to discuss with us. SHADY!

This company is horrible. They will renew a contract without your authorization. Dawn an employee there spoke very condescendingly and said "I'm sorry you don't understand the contract YOU SIGNED" then threatened to put the bill in collections, which it already was. They claim they provided service but never did. It's a complete scam. This company is horrible, nothing short of a scam.

Very satisfied with this service. Although no mice were found, I now have peace of mind.

Exceeded expectations. This treatment was of both a first floor rental apartment and basement in a fourplex apartment building. The tenant was bothered by seeing centipedes and, although no other insect problems have been reported in this building in the past 15 years, this was a habitability concern for her. From first contact with Plunkett's Pest Control, through treatment appointment, and billing, the process was smooth. The technician was on time, thorough, and enthusiastically answered questions from both me and also the tenant. (Two treatments, two weeks apart.) Recommended!

Great! They even came back to make sure everything was still good. After Scott sprayed around the house by the garage, I saw a pile of dead ants within less than a few hours.

They have always done a great job. If bugs start showing up in between services, they come out and it does not cost you anything. They guarantee their work. If I get bees and nests, they come out to take care of it and it does not cost me anything. It is an excellent company.
