Bob, the inspector, arrived right on time. He was clean, professional, and most of all, honest!!! The beams did not have termites or any other pests. He could have told me they did and I wouldn't have known the difference.
I asked him about two different wasp nests. One he informed me were docile and wouldn't hurt me so just leave them alone. The other he said, would grow during the summer and needed to be eliminated because the larger the nest became, the more hostile the wasp would become. Rather than come back another time he offered to take care of them immediately which he did.
I won't say what I was charged because some other person's problems could cost more or less to eliminate. Just reassure, I would recommend them to anyone who asks.
Great! I held off on a review for a couple of months to get a full feel for how it went. These ants are gone, the visible presence of spiders is almost non-existent, and overall I am very pleased.
They suggested I do bi-monthly treatments; which I decided to pass on.
When I called to make an appointment, Debbie (I think) was very helpful, knew answers to all my questions as I asked them, and presented a few options for us. She shared pricing upfront, which I appreciated. The office called with a reminder the day before as well, very helpful. Today, John arrived right in the middle of the 2-hour window given. He began by asking again what I was needing. Even though he had a printed sheet with info I'd shared during that first phone call. I appreciated this, in that it made sure he was doing what actually needed to be done, as stated from me at that point in time. I explained our concerns (loud noises over our bedroom periodically, neighbor stating he'd seen a raccoon climbing under the eaves/over our covered deck, recent mouse issue out of nowhere) showed him the areas I referred to, and he set about inspecting all the places. He climbed up in the attic and gave us a great report that there was no evidence of anything up there at all, which was very comforting. Then we went out in the back yard to see the small opening where our neighbor had seen a raccoon enter a few times over the past couple of years. He checked it out and explained what might be happening, but also told me how that cavity wasn't open to the attic or the interior of the house, so we were probably just hearing them on on the metal roof over the deck. We talked about ways to close the opening. He offered great input on ideas about trapping if we wanted to try it ourselves, and he explained their process thoroughly along with pricing so we could know what it would look like if we had them follow-up.
Regarding the mouse issue, we'd trapped 5 in the last several weeks, which had never happened before in 4 years. I explained that my priority was finding out how they were getting in. He examined the garage and showed a few places where they had created holes in the drywall. He explained how we might go about closing those access points, but he said there was no evidence on the main floor or in the attic that they'd been there. (The basement drop ceiling did show evidence and quite a bit of it, though some of that is related to the previous owners.) His tips and simple education about the habits mice have were really helpful.
All this was done in about 30 minutes or so. Concise, but thorough, exactly how I'd hoped. I will definitely call them back for further service if the need arises.
