The young man that they sent was polite and seemed to know what he was doing. He was very prompt.

The service was just done yesterday so I can not tell if it was completely successful. The tech will be back in a month to check and make any changes if needed. We signed up for the Tri-yearly service so I have peace of mind that my property will be protected by unwanted pests in our home.

Very well. Actually was having tree removed and didn't want them to scatter, so they broke the treatment into two days coordinating with tree removal. They pre-treated the day before the tree removal and then came back the next day within hours of the tree work finishing to finish the treatment. Pro-acricely treated indoors just in case. Very accomodating.

I called and spoke to Danielle and described my issue. She had Thomas call me right back. He said it sounded like paver ants and he sent Carmello out to assess my problem. Since I was not home, he called to tell me his findings and he treated for paver ants. I mentioned a few areas of concern outside. He had called my mother to tell her he was coming back over to talk about them, which was surprising. He checked the areas of concern, sprayed, and also inspected for any other problems. I found him extremely knowledgeable and a very nice young man. After ill treatment from a larger company, it was refreshing to have such concern from Carmello and Bowco.

I am very happy with the work performed and with the staff. Over the past year I have had several of the technicians out to my residence to perform the tri-yearly service and take care of some bees. Each technician was very polite and took their time to inspect and treat the affected areas. The technicians will educate you as to the insect, bug, or rodent they are treating for and explain the extermination process. In my past experiences, the technicians have always been on time, were very professional, clean, and dressed in a neat appearance. They even wear booties on their shoes when inside my house which makes my wife very happy. I would highly recommend Bowco for any pest control issues.

I contacted Bowco via the Angie's List link after hours and received a reply message the same night that I would be contacted in the
morning.  As promised, I received a phone call early the next morning and we scheduled an appointment.  
Paul arrived on time, was professional and, after evaluating the situation, explained his recommended plan of action.  Everything went smoothly and the problem appears to be resolved.  We would use Bowco again without hesitation.
