Had some issues with communication, but they responded back fairly quickly the next day. Once we cleared everything up, Cowleys refunded us for groundhog removal.

We set up an annual agreement with them and they were very successful with getting rid of the mice. The guy that came in spent a lot of time in my home to figure out where the problems were and he was very nice. He was very knowledgeable and gave some excellent suggestions. We have not had any signs of mice since.

Bought their coupon on Angie's list that had three yard treatments over the course of the season for tick control. Technician was professional and showed up on time for first appointment. They offered mosquito as well for an additional charge, and I agreed. Technician advised office would call to schedule remainder of tick control treatments and mosquito billing. That was in July, it's now October. I have left three messages in that time frame and have heard nothing back.

They came out almost immediately, assessed the situation, priced it and went to work. The louvers were covered with hardware cloth with one end attached with an extractor to prevent reentry. Three days later the techs returned removed the extractor and we were good. Everyone was pleasant and professional.

They were excellent. With the squirrels, they came right away to remove any of the critters who were in the trap, and the carpenter ant problem was handled right away and was very effective.

From the first contact over the phone (I'm sorry, but I don't remember the young lady's name) to when James came by on a really hot day, to their removal of the animals the next day, it was great. James was very personable when he explained everything he was going to do, and the logic behind doing it, and why they are cheaper than their competitors. He started by installing traps on our roof with non-toxic bait inside and explained he or another technician would check the trap every other day at a minimum. If/when an animal entered the trap, they would be removed humanely, and not euthanized but relocated. The next morning, my wife found the mother raccoon in the trap and a call was made that day, a Saturday, to Cowley's. It took a bit, but we realize we aren't the only customers out there, and they came by around 2:30 in the afternoon to retrieve mom and her babies, which were still in our attic (three babies in all). After removing them, the technician installed a mesh screen over our broken attic cover, and would have replaced it, but we already have a guy lined up for that. At all times, every employee of Cowley's was top notch.

I have used Cowleys for several years, at two different residences. They are always highly responsive, friendly, and very professional. I've used their Silver Protection Plan, which covers a wide number of pests and includes regular maintenance visits. I believe this plan is around $500. Their products are pet safe, which we love, and I have seen first hand that they can mitigate or eliminate mice, spiders, camelback crickets, pill bugs, and ants. My husband and I also recently had our new house sealed along the roof to try to alleviate the number of stink bugs appearing inside (cost around $400). We still have a fair amount of stink bugs, but the technician did warn us that stink bugs still trapped below the roof would continue crawling into the house, so it may take a while to see a reduction in numbers. Fingers crossed it does the trick after the stragglers finish crawling out!
