Capital Region. We got four wildly different assessments of the problem
and price quotes. We decided to go with Meerkat because they inspired
confidence, seeming fairly certain regarding our problem (mice and
flying squirrels). After setting traps, they went through and sealed any
obvious entry points. They also installed a "one-way door" for the
squirrels to leave and not return. They came back just about every three
days to check traps and finally removed everything. The workers were
clean, professional, and cordial. It remains to be seen if the problems
have been fully eradicated, but we are confident.
"Thank you for your kind review of our services!"
The Meerkat staff and crew were patient in explaining everything, professional in their demeanor and friendly and professional to work with. The work is guaranteed and I have no doubt if any of my former guests try to return Meerkat will be there to greet them. I would without hesitation recommend them to any homeowner doing battle with small furry critters. THANKS MEERKAT!
Jesse came and determined where the entry points were. He was so thorough and professional! I have to add that we have used other companies over the years. Our house has been sealed and resealed.I feel that if we had used Meerkat and Jesse earlier perhaps the flying squirrels in our guest bathroom and attic would not have returned.
Matt did a great job sanitizing and checking traps. He also made sure that all entry points were sealed and explained what was done and why.
All technicians were very professional, knowlegeable and thorough. All appointments times were kept. Phone calls were returned promptly.
I finally feel confident that we have a long term solution.
If you need are looking for a pest control company and wildlife removal, this is the company to call!
"[member name removed], Thank you for your review. Please call us with any future needs."
"Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your business."
"Thank you for sharing your kind review. You were a pleasure to work with, thanks for being such a great customer!"
The owner came out promptly and inspected the house and the exterior and evaluated the different types of insects that were found in yard. He even discovered other potential problem insects that we were unaware of and the inspectors from the other companies missed. He made me feel that this was his problem to deal with now and we didn't have to worry about it any longer. Within a few days a technician came out and treated the area around the house, fixed any potential entry areas for rodents and also removed a large yellow jacket nest in our attic eaves. He also gave us advice for making changes to our landscape to discourage any return of insect or rodent activity. Since the treatment we have not seen any return of any of the insects they treated for and have not seen any bees return either.
The ladies that answer the phones in the office are super nice and always treat me respectfully. They take all my concerns seriously and listen without trying to rush me off the phone when I call.
They sent a technician out promptly this week to treat for a pavement ant issue unrelated to our initial treatment and it was taken care of quickly and completely. He was also very nice and respectful and even though it was a minor problem he took it seriously. All the people at Meerkat are great to work with, very professional and courteous. I highly recommend them.
Unfortunately, it took a full month to catch the raccoon. We understand that this isn't necessarily Meerkat's fault and every time we called them to check on the progress, someone was available to stop by, reposition, or re-bait the trap. However, considering this length of time, the raccoon had had a litter and the attic required the full cleanup process. This turned out to be extremely expensive. It was $1100 to catch the raccoon and $3400 for the cleanup - ouch!
In addition, my fiance's house was being rented to tenants and, during the repair work in the attic, someone had stuck their foot through the ceiling. The spot was patched, but not painted, and bags of old insulation were left in the garage. The tenants had no idea what was going on and only when they complained to us were we made aware of the situation. Meerkat picked up the trash, but painted the ceiling a non-matching color and not even the whole room where it was damaged.
While Meerkat was polite every time I spoke to them, this process was long, expensive, and a huge hassle for ourselves and our tenants.
"We certainly appreciate the customers business but we are somewhat misrepresented in the review. Trying to get a pregnant mother raccoon into a live cage "Humanely" is not an easy chore. We can't force her into the trap and they are extremely cautious when they are about to deliver. We were attempting to remove the Mother Raccoon while saving the unborn babies. It took three weeks for everything not four. The droppings in the attic were mostly from the mother (90%) and had to be cleaned up either way. The cost involved in the $3400 "Ouch" price was for ripping out old insulation, installing new and the cost of the actual new insulation. A very fair price indeed if you check your local hardware store. All excess insulation was removed, the ceiling was painted white, same as the current color. Once again we appreciate the business!"
