My first impression was very good. The reason I would recommend them is because of their professionalism. That?s about all.
Description of Work: They came out originally to look to see if there were any termites or termite damage. Then I got set up on a preventative thing. This was the first time I used them.

I’ve got them on an annual thing, they come out periodically. I think it was on a quarterly basis, it was the last quarter and they are due to come back. They could do more follow up. The complaint that I have is when they come out for service they don’t notify me that they had been out. They were professional.
Description of Work: They did preventative maintenance, it’s a routine thing that they came out. They first came out and did some checking for termites, like a termite type control. Now I’m just set up on a quarterly basis for preventative.

The service started out good and but it wasn't explain thoroughly, partially my fault for not reading through the contract. But they will charge what will be the most expensive hole you have had dug. The traps are their property and if you don't renew their service agreement they will remove the traps leaving you with a bunch of holes. My fault for thinking that the $900 dollar charge included the traps, no that is basically a labor charge for what took the tech maybe two hours to do. I sure hope they pay them good cause that was like a $400/hr service charge. It I would aware of this from the beginning I defiantly would have took my business elsewhere. I defiantly would recommend you look elsewhere than Scherzinger unless you want some expensive holes dug.

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Scherzinger prides ourselves on providing a value to our customers through the level of service we deliver. With the Sentricon Termite Elimination System; the stations, components, and bait are actually the property of Dow Agro Sciences and all providers of bait systems abide by this standard. The stations need to be checked on a routine basis by a certified professional to maintain protection of the property from termites. Leaving the stations in the ground would create a false sense of protection since it's not the station that provides protection from termites but rather the components inside the station which need replenished to maintain protection. We apologize for any miscommunication on our part.

My daughter heard noises in her wall. We called another company first. They looked in the attic and found mouse droppings and told us they had a plan for $500 if we paid at that time. My husband and I decided to buy the poison ourselves. After several applications, we kept hearing the noises on and off. We decided to try another company. After doing research on Angie's list, we called Scherziner. JR came on time. He looked in the attic and saw the droppings. He thought that they were old droppings. Unlike the other company, JR did a whole house inspection. He looked in the basement, near the cat and dog food, under sinks, and in the garage. He determined there was no signs of mice any where. JR stated we would see droppings all over the house not just a few in the attic. He thought the noises we were hearing were birds that might be getting in a vent. JR told us the visit was free and at this time we did not need anything. What an honest company. We feel so much better knowing that our house does not have any mice in it. We would use Scherziner again in the future.
Description of Work: We thought we had mice in the attic. JR came out and did a very thorough evaluation and told us we did not have any mice. He did not charge us anything after taking the time to go though the entire house.

When I talked to them, the lady was very specific in her questions. She wanted to know exactly where the problem was, and it was outside of the home, in the yard specifically. We have a pond outside, she wanted to make sure that the koi fish weren't harmed, so she had contacted the technician to see if they could treat around that area, since that is where the ants were. She was very helpful. The price was good.
Description of Work: I used Scherzinger Pest Control. I had ants outside. I last used them a month ago. He did a treatment for ants, and then would come back and check.

Tommy our technician was great, very professional and nice. He found where he thought the mice were coming in, set traps and bait out for them, gave us suggestions on how to protect our food in the pantry until we get rid of them. He also went above and beyond what he was called out to do which was really nice. He noticed that we had a couple wasp nests in the corners of our house while he was walking around the outside of our property. He knocked them down and got rid of them for us. Wow, now that is great service! I am actually thinking about calling them to help us with that problem now.

They did a very good job. They answered all my questions. Their prices were definitely comparable to the people around. They had an appointment scheduled for me one day and the technician was supposed to come the next day and he didn't show. I waited around for him, never showed and when I called the company, they said they'll have somebody else come out.

The initial visit went well and Michelle (I believe) agreed with the assumption of mice in the walls. She recommended a two visit treatment. The first visit, the technician came and put poison down in my basement, attic, and outside under my wood steps. He also gave me suggestions on how to keep mice from entering my house. The second visit was a follow up and to check on the poison and to see if the mice were still in the walls.
Description of Work: I heard mice in my walls and called Scherzinger for help. They recommended an initial visit to determine how to approach and treat the problem.

I called Scherzinger's after reading reviews on Angie's list. I had heard mice in my walls and I was freaking out! They came out for an inspection and agreed that it was probably mice and set up two appointments. The first was to set the poison and the second was a follow-up. I thought it was reasonably priced and they found the problem area and my mice are gone!!!! Thanks to Michelle and Scherzinger's. I will definitely recommend. I hope I don't need their services again, but will call if I need to.

Technician was scheduled for the next day and arrived promptly as advertised. He was extremely professional, looked at my issue and assured me these were not termites, but carpenter ants. He gave me some suggestions to help ensure they would not be a problem. He also did a cursury inspection of the outside of my property and didn't find any signs of termites, all at no cost. I really appreciated the technicians honesty, and educated recommendations. I would definitely call this company again.

The employee was prompt and sprayed everywhere necessary. When he sprayed outside the house he wiped spiderwebs from all windows and gave suggestions to help keep spiders and other bigs from entering house. He said he would be back in 6 weeks to check on the situation. We did purchase a continuing contract for them to return every three months. When calling the first time, prices were given up front. There were no surprises. We may stop at any time without penalty.
Description of Work: We bought continuing contract to spray for ants. They sprayed baseboards inside house along outside walls and under sinks. They came back a few days later to spray outside of the house. They sprayed around foundation and along windows.

I own a house that I rent out in Moraine, Ohio. It is near to the old GM Engine Plant that has shut down a few years ago. Since that plant shut down mice have become a bigger and bigger problem. I had some there even before when I lived at the house, but now it is worse. Scherzinger sent JR to my house to explain what is going on and to help supply "bait" and glue-traps. He will be coming back in April (when the weather is more conducive to it) to begin inspecting where the mice are getting in and help deter them from even entering the house. I joined the quarterly Guardian plan, so I am protected from mice (my initial problem), bed bugs, and a lot of other pests just in case something should happen down the road. I am hoping to deter the rodents away from the house and boost the value of my house and rental value proposition at the same time. The mice are not just finding their way into my home in the area, so if Scherzinger can help deter them from my house then others will need to address their mouse issues or else I will have a competitive advantage. After 2-weeks, no mice were found in the glue traps, so something has detered them away. Granted my current tenants are in the process of moving out (after nearly 2.5 years), so the mice do not have as much to draw them in as before, so the real test will come once new tenants move in.
Description of Work: Initial inspection and follow-up. Mouse "bait" put throughout the house in discreet places and glue traps set in strategic areas. Follow-up resulted in no mice in glue traps, no dead bodies laying around. Further follow-up will result in investigating entry points and deterring mice from entering the house at all.

I needed extermination services, so I naturally checked Angie's List. I saw that Scherzinger had an excellent rating, so I called. They were prompt and professional, and the prices were reasonable. They treated my home for two different pests, and I am very satisfied with their service.
Description of Work: I contacted Scherzinger from their report on Angie's list....The call was answered promptly and professionally, and was able to get an appointment at my convenience. I first had a problem with mice, as my house was undergoing repairs. The very friendly rep came out and placed traps in appropriate places, and also used sticky boards and bait where necessary. It was all friendly to my dog, and we were able to eliminate the problem. When, during the home repair, termites were found, I immediately called Scherzinger again. Again, they were able to work with my schedule, and installed the treatment plugs promptly. The follow up is all covered under the Guardian plan. I am very pleased with their service.
