Paffy's Pest Control is family owned and operated local pest control company. We provide residents of the St Paul, Minneapolis, and surrounding suburbs with a complete range of pest-control and extermination services. Two time Super Service Award winner and awarded the BBB Accreditation certificate since 2012. Our professionals are highly experienced and dedicated to offering quality, affordable services. We are extensively trained and experienced in the effective and safe removal of a wide range of household and commercial pests.
We brought bed bugs home from a hotel. What a nightmare. Paffy (Duane) was incredibly understanding and very responsive. His was the only company we contacted (we called many rated highly on Angie's List) that was willing to come assess the day after we called and to begin pest management a few days later. Most notable is that he did not try to convince us to do heat treatment, which we have come to learn would likely have been ineffective in our old home, in which crevices are deep and many. If we had taken the advice of the providers that wanted to do heat, it would have cost us thousands of dollars and probably would not have gotten rid of the bed bugs. Paffy sprayed the whole house, inside box springs, in all of our dressers, in chairs, sofas, etc. This required us to remove all clothing from the dressers (one needs to dry them on high heat to kill any bugs)--he coordinated well with us. Repeated spraying was required, as expected, and he was always timely and very very responsive. Paffy is the owner of the company. His sons also work with him. We found him to be more thorough than the sons. We also found that it was best to be present to help Paffy get into the hard to spray places. I am not sure I would have felt entirely sure that he would have done such a great job if I had not been present, assisting him by turning beds over, etc. But this was more than compensated for by his exceptional responsiveness and the care that he showed our family when we were freaking out about bed bugs.
Description of Work: Removed bed bugs from our home with repeated spraying.

The job was professional, and quick. Paffy's staff called me immediately after my purchase to set up an appointment. I was not home but called back a week later and was able to schedule an appointment within 1-2 days. The staff member who completed the work was friendly, informative, professional, and respectful. I will not hesitate to use Paffy's again and am happy to recommend their services to friends.
Description of Work: Paffy's staff sprayed exterior of house (soffit and foundation) for bees, hornets, wasps and general insects, including removal of existing wasps nests in eaves/soffit.

The ants came back a couple of weeks later so I called them up and they came back and sprayed again but this time with a stronger insecticide which worked much better than the first one.

This was a great experience. I called on Saturday and set up the appointment for Tuesday. I was given a two hour window when they would arrive. They showed up and it was a quick and easy process. Duane actually noticed two additional nests that needed to be taken care of and he went ahead and did that.

Duane Paffel took plenty of time to talk with me on the phone after I bought the Angie's List Big Deal. I was concerned that I might be seeing signs of carpenter ants in the house -- and he agreed to provide that treatment in place of the generic treatment described in the Big Deal. We negotiated a time when I could be home and he told me the tech would arrive sometime between 2 and 4 p.m. I left work early to get home in time (actually, 5 minutes early) then waited the rest of the afternoon. When I called to check about what was happening, it turned out the tech had come early, applied the treatment, and left before I even got home at the appointed time! I had gone to the trouble of leaving work so I could have the tech look at the damage I'd seen in the house and determine whether I actually had carpenter ants before applying the treatment. A few days later, I did see a number of dead ants on my bathroom floor, so I'm guessing/hoping that what was applied took care of my problem. For the price I paid for the Big Deal, I guess I'm satisfied -- but at the prices they would charge going forward I would expect someone to 1) check out the problem first and 2) not complicate my work day and waste my time by not adhering to the mutually agreed upon schedule.

The first spray did not work 100% (I had a really bad bug problem), so they came back out and sprayed again, free of charge. The only thing I would have to say is that they are a little slow on responding to voicemail. I left a few voicemails and I would either have to call back or they would return my call 2 days later. Also, for the second spray, somehow there was a miscommunication and no one showed up to the house (person on phone did not remember me calling). Dispite of this, they came the next day to spray. Overall, I would reccomend them based on that they stand behind their work.
Description of Work: I bought the seasonal package. Paffy's came out to spray my house for ants and other insects.

Justin was courteous and prompt. We were told it could take a few weeks to fully eliminate the colony as they carried the poison to the nest and queen. We initially saw a lot of ant carcasses, then fewer. The patio area is ant free which is quite a change from past summers. Prior to their arrival I had been working outside and pulling tools in and out of my pockets. Loose bills fell out when I pulled out the tool. Justin found them outside when he was spraying and returned them to me, stating that he found the money and knew it wasn't his. This is very honest and appreciated. I will use Paffy's againt if I have any pest control needs.
Description of Work: We had evidence of ants or termites in the form of sawdust anthills. Justin assessed the problem determined it was ants and sprayed exterior walls, patio and retaining wall.

I haven't seen one spider in the house since they were here. I'm looking forward to the July treatment for box elder bugs. We haven't had any ants in the house this summer, either. I'm very happy with the service so far.
Description of Work: I ended up signing up for the full year of services. They sprayed inside and out and set mousetraps in the basement and garage. they also set a trap for chipmunks. They will be back in July and again in the fall. They checked around the house for places mice could get in and fixed those areas.

They are always prompt and courteous. They have done what exactly what we wanted them to do. Since my mother lives in a condo they can not fully fix the job because the neighbors in the condo next to her wont agree to use them. They did all they can do.

We've been very pleased with the quick response (even on the weekends) that we've received from Duane.
Description of Work: We own rental properties and manage them on our own. We had renters bring bed bugs into our property. Duane responded quickly and took care of the problem in a timely matter. Since have the bed bugs removed we now have Paffy's come out to our personal residence for regular service. We have little to no creepy crawlys and are confident that we won't have to deal with any pests during the winter months.
