the pest guy was not overly friendly but he did spray all around the house and we have not seen any bugs since he sprayed.  i talked to the owner who explained they will come out a toal of 3 times this season to spray and more often if bugs are seen.  the owner was wonderful in explaining everything to me and i highly reccommend this company to anyone who has pest problems.  they stand behind their word/work

I got 3 bee stings yesterday, so I wanted this bee nest in my backyard removed ASAP. I called around 10 am and they said they'd be here at noon today. The guy was even a few minutes early. He took care of the problem quickly. I don't recall if it was wasps or hornets, but they weren't the good kind of bees that we need to pollinate crops. I was relieved to have the bees gotten rid of  the same day I called. Both the guy who took my phone call, and the man who came to do the job, were very pleasant. .

when i tried to explain the problem the man who showed up he made faces and dismissed everything i was saying and asking like i was a complete idiot.  he didnt seem interested in what i was saying and would not give me anything in writing saying what the spraying would prevent such as termites or ants or anything so i really dont know what the 300 dollars i spent was for. he gave me a blank recpt with nothing written on it.  i have stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and i feel like i was totally ripped off.  i dont have a lot of money and cant afford to lose 300 dollars.  i still see tons of ants around my house.  he couldnt explain to me what exactly the spray would kill.  i called for wood eating bugs and the girl on the phone said it would kill them but the man who came said it doesnt and that i didnt have wood eating bugs  but he sprayed and took my money anyway and then would not put in writing what it would cover.  i feel raped.
Response from MANTIS PEST CONTROL CO

"I am sorry you were unhappy with the service we provided. A month has gone bye since our visit, and we have not received ANY feedback from you regarding our work. Just a negative mark on Angies List. You paid for three preventative treatments to be performed throughout the course of the summer. After the first visit, if you were not satisfied, we could have rectified immediately. Mantis stands behind our work. We have not made it 40 years in the business "raping" our customers. Jim, our senior technician (who did your treatment), has been with us for 28 years. He is extremely knowledgeable, and complaints like this are "out of character. As stated on the invoice, this service was for preventative measures only. He could have explained this better and I apologize for that. I would appreciate a follow up phone call, so we CAN actually have a chance to rectify your complaint. Regards, Tom Pavlou"

After a few conversations the service was agreed upon and it was explained that there was no evidence of a current issue however droppings were discovered and needed to be removed and attic treated. The service tech said he was never told that he need to remediate any issues and was not equipped to remove or handle the issue. He told us to deal with it and to lay new insulation. The only activity performed by the tech was laying traps in the attic. Gee I could have done that myself for a lot less that $200+! Despite several calls to the office no one has gotten back to us. Would not recommend or use again.
Response from MANTIS PEST CONTROL CO

"Picking up mouse droppings in the attic was not discussed nor do we do it. The technician explained the best way to deal with the dropping issue was to change the insulation versus trying to pick them all up. There must have been some miscommunication in regard to what service we were providing, For that I apologize. Will refund your money."

They seem very nice. They came back a second time because they're still at the situation. I'm still waiting to see if its cleared up but they have been very nice about everything. They're punctual. Sometimes its hard to get rid of those critters. I'm not blaming them for that at all. Its just a matter of time I think. They were very professional and they followed up.

We are fortunate to call this company since they know how to handle these carpenter bee. Within 15 mins, there were at least 6 or 7 of the bees came out from the wooden plate beneath the patio staircase after the treatment was applied. It was effective.

The service was provided very quickly and professionally. He had us make sure all the doors and windows were closed before he started the process. It took about an hour to complete it and we have not seen any wasps trying to build nest after that.

The representative arrived promptly at the scheduled appointment time.  He got on a ladder and checked every conceivable crevice where it could gain entry. He was very thorough and determined that it had gained entry through a tear in the screen that once covered a vent.
I had other  pest control companies also give estimates and they all stood in my driveway looking at the house. Not one actually touched the house by getting on a ladder and taking a good look. However they gave estimates to just add traps or put "stuff" down, never even suggesting to close any entrance ways. Some estimates were outrageous in price, for not even determining where it got in or fixing the problem.
Which to me was most important to keep the squirrel from gaining entrance into my home at another time.
Mantis, installed a one way tunnel over the torn screen area, so that the animal if it was in the house, could get out but not re-enter.
After one and half weeks, the representative returned to remove the tunnel and put in a new screen, hence no more entry, no more squirrel.  I am finally at peace again. Problem solved.
I am truly satisfied, happy and relieved that I phoned Mantis.  I would recommend their services to anyone who wants a pest control problem solved in a fair, honest and thorough manner. 
Can't get better than this!!!

We had wasps outside the house and yellow jackets going through the soffit that leads to the attic. Purchased the $160 deal at Angie's List. Made an appointment right away. They treated the areas and the pests were gone the next day. It took about 20 minutes having to climb 2 stories. They forgot to treat the perimeter which was part of the deal. I contacted them, they apologized, and said they will come back in the Spring to do the treatment.

They said they would come back if the problem came back within 30 days.  Even though it was more than 30 days, they came back because it is very unusual for Carpenter Bees to return in September.  They came back at the appointed time and re-did the spraying of the area for carpenter bees. 

I am so very happy that they came back and felt that the service they provided the first time seemed to not have kept the carpenter bees at bay.  I was quite willing to pay for the service again because the first time they did come out the carpenter bees did die out.

Mantis representative arrived to the property on time, inspected all areas of the house and identified areas where mice was able to get in, cover those entrances and treated all affected areas. Very fast service. I'm glad I choose them over the other company. The price difference was minimum, the service was great.

Tom was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Once I explained the situation, he thoroughly examined the bushes and the surroundings. The nest was located on the side of the house. He removed it. There was also a nest of yellow jacket wasps hidden in a tree hollow. Once both nests were taken care of, he took time to answer my questions about hornets and wasps. Thank you Tom.
