I will never use this company again. I found a mouse in the bathroom and was able to trap it in. I called Cavanaugh based on reviews from Angie's List. I called the company and told them that I found a mouse in the bathroom and I was able to keep it in the bathroom. I asked if someone could come that same day and she said yes but that I had to pay $250 for the service. I found the price ridiculously high for just one visit and without checking the problem or providing any services first. Since I was stressed out in finding the mouse and having a very nervous elderly mother, I paid the service fee beforehand over the phone (which I never do!). When the technician arrived, I showed him where the mouse was trapped and he was able to catch it right away. He checked the house and found no holes (since we had these all covered from the day we moved into the house) but set 3 traps. I then called the office once the technician left and asked if the price could be lowered since the only thing that was done was catching the mouse and setting up 3 traps. The girl said that they couldn't reduce the price but if I wanted to, they offered a service contract at a discounted price since I already paid $250. So, in other words, I paid in advance for a "so called" service fee so they can get me into a contract. I told her that I didn't need one since this was the first time a mouse ever came into the house and would not need the services again.
The technician thinks the mouse came through the front door when I left it open to bring in groceries. Since then, no issues with another mouse. The technician was professional and courteous. I'm very disappointed that a company will take advantage when someone is in a stressful situation.
A few years ago, a tree from our property fell on a clear night. The tree was partially hollow in the bottom half, which was due to age and carpenter ants. I had Cavanaugh's come out to verify that termites were not involved. They did not charge me for the visit.
In general, they give us a three or four hour window, and almost always show up within that time frame. They check the first floor, the exposed blocks in our mostly finished basement, the garage, and the perimeter of the outside of the house.
