Barry arrived within an hour of my phone call. He explained what he would do. He sprayed a yellow jacket nest that was in the wall of my house. He checked the interior of the house for any signs of them. He was very thorough. Within a few hours there were no more yellow jackets flying around.

I left a panicked late-night message after hearing mice in my ceiling. Barry called back the next morning and came out that day to lay bait traps and plug some holes outside. He worked quickly and efficiently, and is a very nice person to do business with. Best part, I haven't heard any mice since. I absolutely recommend Home Town for any pest problems.

Barry was very professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. His work was thorough and he was able to respond in one day (though during the warm weather he said that was not so easily done). He was very clean and careful of our house. I recommend him highly.

He didn't even really want to come out!!! He told me if I didn't want him to put poison all thru my house (I have small children) that I should set up my own traps!!! He just didn't want to be bothered it seemed. Which makes no sense since I would have had to pay him for his work!!! Don't bother calling this guy.
Description of Work: I called for mice in my attic. One he only baits poison IF you set traps he charges more for additional visits. And he does no clean up of dead mice.

Response from Home Town Pest Management Inc
Ther are certain ways our company deals with pest problems. All customers are informed of our procedures when they call. They are also given a price and warranty if applicable. For Rodent control we give two options.We bait or set out traps.When traps are used we need to check and remove caught mice.The exterior is checked and gaps are plugged with a copper mesh. On occasions I may feel thier problem could be solved less expensively and may make a suggestion on how to do this more cost effectively with a small effort on thier part. Many customers appreciate the honesty and do not consider this as" a can't be bothered attitude". Regardless rest assured Home Town Pest Management is family owned and operated company that prides itself on eliminating our customers pest problems and has for almost 20 years. We apologize to anyone who feels differently.

Within two hours after I made the initial call, Barry arrived and promptly went to work. He sprayed inside and out and within an hour, the problem was resolved. I can't say enough positive things about the service and Barry. He was wonderful and the price was more than reasonable. I will definitely use this provider again.
Description of Work: I had a serious problem with yellow jacks. They got inside my outside faucet and within a matter of days started coming inside my house. There were a lot of them.

They were great. He was on time and very helpful. While he was working, he thoroughly explained what the problems were and how he was trying to resolve them. He found a few places where he thought mice were entering the home and he fixed them. We would call them again for any future extermination needs.

He was fantastic. I called him in the early morning and he came out that day. He was professional and knew exactly what he was doing. He was there for an hour and we found him to be very knowledgeable and great to work with. He offered us the Angie's list discount we did not even know to ask for. I would easily use his services again...but hope we do not have to.

Reasonable scheduling TAT and excellent follow-up. I had my local property management contact call Barry and he was able to come over in a reasonable time to our 3-unit building, even during one of the busiest time of the year for mice. He baited and trapped and two weeks later we still had reported issues and after giving Barry a call back he came back at no charge to inspect for follow-up. A good level of service that you don't often see, especially in the Capitol area.

Barry worked fast and clean. He did this work at a great price and even gave a 10% discount for me being an Angie's list member! He was great!
Description of Work: I had an infestation of yellow jackets underneath my aluminum siding. There were hundreds of bees. They were also in the sub flooring. Barry was called and arrived the next morning.... He was 10 minutes early. He explained what had to be done and in an hour the bees were history. He fogged outside and also inside through 2 small holes to eliminate the persistent pests! Barry was punctual, professional and most importantly effective! I highly recommend if you have a similar issue call Barry and he will make this possible dangerous situation safe once again. He restored my piece of mind and made my home a safe place again!

Barry called within in hour of me leaving a message. He gave me excellent advise over the phone in a 20 minute call and asked me to follow his advise first. He offered to come for a visit if required. There are not too many businesses that would do that these days. I can only highly recommend Home Town Pest Management, and will call on Barry again for any pest related work required & also recommend him to friends. A+ all the way! Thanks Bary.

Barry returned my call within one hour. He told me he'd be there the next day between 11:30 and 12:15; he was at my front door at 11:45. Almost before he got out of his truck he spotted one nest in the bricks close to the ground that I hadn't seen. He was at my house for an hour, during which time he applied three different kinds of pesticides to the nests (leaving me the materials data sheets for the chemicals, which I appreciated.) He explained the difference between wasps and yellow jackets, and told me what I could expect over the next few days. It's been one day, and so far I haven't seen a single live wasp or yellow jacket near where the nests were. Highly professional, knowledgeable person! I would not hesitate to call him again if necessary.
Description of Work: Treated front wall for two yellow jacket nests and one wasp nest.

It was clearly a professional job, and it could hardly have gone any better. I called Barry because he lives not far away, and because he was very well recommended on Angie's list. I was not disappointed.
Description of Work: Barry took care of a fairly large yellow jacket nest that was inside the cedar shake wall of our home. He sprayed the nest from the outside extensively. He made a very small hole in the inside wall, sprayed from inside, and then filled the hole so that it is hardly visible. Then he sprayed the outside again. He took his time and clearly did a thorough job.

Called Barry and arranged an appointment in less than 48 hrs. He arrived a few minutes early for an early morning appointment. He inspected inside the house to verify the extent of infestation, then treated area outside house where wasps were entering. Also treated two other nests. He answered all of our questions and offered a return visit if necessary. The initial treatment worked at all 3 locations.
Description of Work: Exterminated wasp infestation under front siding of house. Also exterminated another minor wasp nest on front porch and one in a bush.

GREAT! I contacted Home Town Pest Management on Friday evening after 6:00 PM. Barry, the owner, called me back within 10 minutes. Awesome response. I explained to him that my neighbor had pointed out a huge bees nest under the eve of my home. Barry seemed to have a pretty good idea of what type of bees they were and quoted me a price for removal. When I asked when he could take care of it, he responded, "how about tomorrow morning (Saturday) at 8:30 AM?" Barry showed up at 8:30 or a little before and took care of the hornets and the nest. Thank you Home Town Pest Management for your prompt professional service, even on the weekend.

This provider came to my home to give me an estimate to treat for carpenter bees. After checking the porches and deck, he told me that I did not need an exterminator and that it would be "wrong" to take my money. He explained that the few bees that we saw were most likely from somewhere else, I admire his honesty and would surely call him again if I thought I needed an exterminator.

Barry was great! Arrived early, explained everything in detail, what he would be doing and where. Keep kids and animals inside. Insisted on giving me an estimate, even though I told him not to bother. He was done in a timely fashion, gave me a list of the chemicals he had used, and even cleaned up after himself. I will use again for sure!

Just what was mentioned above. I am not sure if these reviews are genuine based on my first experience with Angie's List.
Description of Work: This was my first time using Angie's list. I called the number for this business based on all the positive reviews. The person who answered the business phone indicated that "he wouldn't come to look at "a mouse" inside my house. I would have to have an infestation problem. Not sure what that means. After I convinced her, I needed help, she then preceded to try and give me a "price list" (mind you no work has yet been performed and he has not seen/heard of the problem) . Once I mentioned I found the name of the company on Angie's list, her tone changed and she assured me that she would have him call me back as soon as possible. Not sure about this company and now I am equally wary about Angie's list. NOT A good first experience.

It was an excellent experience
Description of Work: On 4/10/13 Barry came to my residence to take care of a ant issue. Everyday for three weeks or so my wife came home and was whining like a little baby. I had ants in every room, kitchen sink,food,outside,and in my fruit loops. The ants were in all shapes and sizes and continued to multiply. Barry came over,he was friendly and funny, within 2-3 hours he was done inside and out. I was told I may see ants here and there for a couple weeks and not to kill them. This way they take the poison back to the source. I have not seen a SINgLE ant since the day he left. This was money well spent and I highly recommend him.

The exterminator searched both the interior and exterior of house and found the ant nest. Placed ant poison around house. He came for a follow-up visit a month later when ants were still appearing and reapplied poison. Now problem is completely solved. Excellent service and very professional at a fair price.

I left a message with the receptionist (at 4:56 pm mind you) & she promised me a same day call back. Even though I told her I didn't need a call back the same day, I got one. When Barry called me back, he was a wealth of very specific knowledge about both flea bites and bed bug bites - including what pattern to look for, etc. He thoroughly discussed my concerns with me, talked about what I had done to assess the situation & what else I could do. He even made the recommendation/suggestion that perhaps what I was experiencing was not a bite at all; but either a stress reaction or an allergic reaction to a medication; change in soap, etc. He probably spent 15 to 20 minutes on the phone with me - never once made me feel rushed, took his time to thoroughly evaluate, give recommendations, etc. Turns out he was right - I checked out a medication that had been 'passed' by my dr/pharmacist as 'ok' for me & found out it contains an ingredient I am known to be allergic to. If I ever had a job that required his services, I would absolutely use Barry's Hometown Pest Management services.
Description of Work: Telephone consultation regarding a concern over what I thought could be bed bug or flea bites.
