Description of Work: The service I specifically asked for, but did NOT receive, was for the removal of a squirrel or raccoon which was lodging in between my 1st and 2nd floors. The special package price of $139 plus 11.99 tax was paid in full. The gentlemen were very professional, punctual, and responsive to the urgency of my call; BUT, after they placed 3 bait traps I was told it would cost $577 for a squirrel, and $125 every 3 months to keep them away. This was too much money, and felt like "Bait and Switch. It is now 2/19/2013, and I feel like I wasted $150 bucks!! I still have a mouse living in between my 1st and 2nd floors. Very dissaatisfied.

Response from Select Exterminating
Select Exterminating Company has always strived to be the best pest management company in the area. We endeavor to provide low cost solutions to our customers problems. The Big Deal Offer we provided was CLEARLY titled Pre-Winter Rodent Exclusion Package! This program was designed to seal the structure to reduce the potential for rodents from entering the structure. The service did not infer or mention treatment for rodents already established in the structure. Our program includes sealing any accessible, potential entry points for the customer. In this case we sealed several entry points where pipes and wires entered the home. We also cemented some openings in the fron of the house where mice were clearly entering the structure. We went on install tamper-resistant rodent control stations on the exterior to provide control of rodents on the exterior to again, reduce the potential for rodent entry into the structure. The request we received from this customer was that that she "Thinks she has squirrels". We positively identified bot squirrels and mice in the structure. We explained that the interior mouse activity was not included in the Big Deal but we would be happy to address the interior mouse problem and we would waive any initial fee to correct the interior infestation but a quarterly pest management program would be required for the first year which is fair. We also, quoted a service charge for squirrel removal at a 10 % discount for being a Angie's List Customer which we also feel is fair. There was nothing surreptitious in our approach. We clearly went above and beyond to help this customer and it is unfortunate that people can make erroneous statements about honest businesses without any merrit.

It was free for two people to come out and give me an estimate. I was not pleased with them. They told me I had beetles on one side. I left the wood on the floor so they could see what I was talking about, but he asked me to clean the area and then he would come back to see what it was. I didn't like the remark he made about cleaning basements. He said it's a difficult thing to do, but he's younger than me. He doesn't know how old I am and I don't know how old he is. I told my husband I would not be calling Selective Exterminating back.
Description of Work: I had wood pieces falling off on my floor and I wanted them to look and see what was going on downstairs. They told me I do not have termites.

Response from Select Exterminating
Our commitment to our customers is to provide an honest assessment of the structure and the customers pest complaint. In the member's situation, we positively identified a powder post beetle problem in the basement. In addition to the powder post beetles, we observed some debris falling out from the sill plate that was not associated to the powder post beetle activity. The Inspector offered to vacuum the debris away but she did not have a working vacuum for us to use. So, we asked that she sweep away the material and we would return at no charge to re-assess the area for activity. No estimate was provided at that point in time until we could return to perform a re-inspection. We do not want to charge customers for services that are not necessary. Apparently, she was unclear as to our intentions. Attempts are being made to contact her to clarify our honerable intentions.

This was the fourth time they've been back to correct the problem. The price included an Angie's List discount. The service was very good. They were timely. They told me what they were going to do. He gave me a price and he told me upfront that it wasn't going to be an easy kill and that they most likely would have to keep coming back. They offered a six month guarantee. They have been back every time I've called. They've used the powder and for a while the bees subsided. He was last here for another dose and said to wait a week and if the bees come back, then they will come back.
Description of Work: I used Select Exterminating as a follow up last week because I am still having a problem with yellow jackets that made a nest inside the wall in my house from the outside.

Living in a wooded area you could only imagine the animals that we have come across throughout the years. For years racoons have been going through my garbage containers but that was finally taken care of by using heavier lids. I never really had a problem with them until this spring when I found them living under my deck. Having 2 small children I got concerned and decided to take care of the problem once and for all. I gave a call to Select Exterminating because of a recommendation from a friend. Cindy was extremely helpful in explaining to me how the trapping process works. After just one week Uton (technician) caught over 7 racoons, I guess I really didn't no how bad the problem was. It has now been over a month since I first made a call to Select Exterminating and I couldn't be happier with the service.
Description of Work: Trapping and removing racoons throughout my property.
