Great, after calling another supposedly high rated pest service to be told they would come out in 2 days for an estimate but not do the work for another few days, I called Family Pest Solutions. Within an hour Jack called back, I explained that a bunch of bees broke through the wall board and were swarming in the bedroom trying to get out the closed windows. He advised me exactly what to do (open windows to let bees out) and place a piece of tape over the small hole under the window sill where the bees broke through. I said I still would like a professional to come out so he promised a visit from Gary the following day, provided a very accurate and reasonable quote that was emailed to me immediately for electronic signature, and said the work could be done at that time. Solved the immediate problem with his guidance and put in place professional treatment the following day. Couple of hundred for the hive removal and another hundred to treat the entire two story house with spray around the foundation and all windows. They even treated the large shed in the back yard and took out a second ground hive in the garden. Immediate service A+, guidance to customer to handle an emergency situation A+ and price A+. Thanks Jack and Gary for a serious problem expeditiously solved. Will certainly use again, as needed! Thanks!

Jack, the owner, was very quick to respond to my e-mail. He eliminated 4 nests from my property, examined the exterior of the house, and sprayed the exterior of the house to deter other nesters. He arrived on time, was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I would hire him again in a minute and recommend him to others.
Response from Family Pest Solutions

"Thank you for the kind words about our service and the A grade. We appreciate you choosing our business to eliminate the bees nests from your home."

Jack, the owner of Family Pest came right on time the day after my call and did a walk around and gave me an estimate. I considered it very fair and the next day his employee, Gary, came out and filled all of the holes on the outside of the house where mice might be able to get in. He also put 2 large traps outside and several areas inside my home. He was also right on time. They were both very pleasant and answered any questions I might have. They also sprayed around the targeted areas.
Response from Family Pest Solutions

"[Member Name Removed], thank you for the positive review and kind words about our employees. We are glad that we were able to help with your mouse problem and appreciate you contacting our company to do so."

Jack and Matt were great. They displayed great knowledge of the causes of our problem and quickly came up with a plan that was affordable. Jack stuck to his quote as he promised and didn't hit us with any "surprises." I have already recommended them and WILL use them again for some future projects we have planned.

There was a nest in the bedroom wall that was treated. The Basement Sill and Sill Plate where they were coming in was treated and around any damp places and water pipes. The full Exterior Foundation was treated around the house. I was very happy with the service , price and results. I have already recommended Family Pest Solutions to my family and friends. Thanks Marc Watervliet NY

Jack returned for a follow-up visit and stopped up more entry points, and set more traps. Since then (a week ago), we've seen no activity. We hope he's solved the problem in two visits.
Response from Family Pest Solutions

"Mr. [Member Name Removed], thank you for the kinds words and positive review. Glad we were able to figure out how those mice were making their way into your home and were able to keep them out. Thank you for choosing Family Pest Solutions."

Fantastic! Jack picked up immediately and asked us to detail exactly what we were hearing and seeing. We agreed on a date and time, and Jack and Gary arrived on time and ready to investigate. As it turned out, we had carpenter ants not termites. Jack and Gary were knowledgeable, helpful and professional, and We couldn't be happier that we called them. I would not hesitate to recommend Family Pest Solutions to anyone looking for insect or Pest removal.
Response from Family Pest Solutions

"Thank you, Ms. [Member Name Removed], for the kind words and positive review. Glad that our investigation only found carpenter ants and not termites. We appreciate you calling us to take care of your pest problem."

Jack came the first time and explained about carpenter bees and gave us suggestions on how to treat - no charge for his time and advice. We called him again when we spotted moths in our home. He came and treated the whole house - they appear to be gone but he will come again in August to be sure. He was fast, responsive and very good. His price was reasonable.
Response from Family Pest Solutions

"Mr. [Member Name Removed], Thank You for the Positive Review and the kind words. Moths inside a home can be challenging. Locating breeding sites is key. Please be sure to let your Family and Friends know about our services."

Hard to say as bugs don't just come from your own yard
Response from Family Pest Solutions

"Mr. [Member Name Removed], Thank You for hiring Family Pest Solutions ! Our Organic Tick treatment works Great for protecting your Family and Pets from your yard. Mosquito's are a challenge, They can wander from neighbor properties that haven't been treated. Keep us in mind for future pest concerns."

Jack answered my call right away, arrived just when he said he would, did just what he said he would, and provided a written warranty for ongoing monitoring and care. I'm so relieved! Jack also treated the yard of a family member for ticks, using a kid- and pet-friendly substance - before the treatment, they had been finding several ticks a week on the dog, but not a one since! We intend to use Jack exclusively from now on.
Response from Family Pest Solutions

"MS. [Member Name Removed], Thank You for the Positive review and the kind words. Treating for ticks can be challenging. Our Organic Pest Solution with Cedarwood Oil works Great ! Your Termite treatment is in good hand now as well. Please be sure to let friends and co-workers know about our services. Thank You, Jack"
