Response from Ask the Bug Man Pest Management Inc
I am unaware of any follow-up calls as we always respond to calls when they're made this job was postponed for a couple weeks by the owner because the owner could not locate his crawlspace opening and when it was found he called we came out the possum by that time was extremely deteriorated: in the crawlspace because of many obstructions forced the technician to crawl the entirestructure to get to the animal which was with insight of where the technician entered but could not be accessed due to ducting and other obstructions. I will contact the customer to see what more we can do for him as we always want to leave our customers happy..

Response from Ask the Bug Man Pest Management Inc
I guess Mrs [member name removed] is confusing us with another company which is the second time this has been done. The first time she called and said she already contracted with someone else for mole trapping as well as us for pest control, our technician placed mole traps which her husband removed, I went out myself and reset the traps and everything was fine. We've been back for 2 monthly follow-ups since and she has paid for her services without complaint. We will of course contact her again in person and make sure all is well. It's unfortunate for the bad grades as it lowers are average, we had another customer complaint with all F's and then gave us a follow up review with all A's, hopeful this will turn out the same.

It went very well.
Description of Work: The provider sent a new technician to our house. This technician, Ryan, was very professional. His service was excellent. We are giving this company another opportunity to work for us because the owner made an effort to solve the problem.

Description of Work: They sprayed for a persistent flea problem we had previously treated with bug bombs. | They have an excellent retreatment policy. My only complaint is that when I called to educate myself as to how to solve my problem, they were dismissive and acted like I didn't need to know anything more than to just trust them to take care of the problem. I felt like the pest!

David was responsive to my phone call. We had to rearrange our date a little (my fault!) and he worked with that. He was on time, was very informative and flexible (had to work around my locked outside gates!). He called later that evening to be sure everything was OK. It was and is still-no pests!!

I was hearing scratching by some animal under my manufactured home. I called Ask the Bug Man based on comments from Angie's List. He returned my message within minutes while he was en route between jobs and arranged to call later to set an exact time. He also asked questions regarding the animal. We scheduled for the next day. He came toward the beginning of our agreed upon window of time. Upon seeing the situation he suggested alternatives for dealing with the situation and explained the habits of rats and why they continue to make scratching noises. He gave the options of poison and trapping and asked if I felt comfortable setting traps myself. Since I was comfortable doing the traps myself, we did not pursue any of the other options. He gave me two free traps and explained where best to place them and how to bait. I was impressed that he was willing to travel a distance for no fee at all. I consider the experience very positive. He also gave advice on how to deal with gophers and voles. There was no charge for his advice nor for his travel time to come out to my house which is at least 30 minutes from Eugene.
Description of Work: Surveyed the area and gave an overview on how to proceed to eliminate rats crawling under the house. Provided options for removal. Asked if I felt comfortable using traps. Since I did not request further services, he explained best way to use the traps.

I had noticed an odor in our home, which continued to get worse over a period of three days. It had become unbearable, and we were pretty sure something had died in the crawl space of our house, but didn't feel we could deal with the situation ourselves. I looked up pest control on Angie's List and found Ask the Bug Man Pest Management, called the number and spoke with Dave, the owner, and was very grateful to hear that he'd be over in 2-3 hours. He showed up on time, with his assistant(his son who is slender and flexible enough to navigate the crawl space). His son was outfitted properly with safety gear and spent about 10 to 15 minutes assessing the entire crawl space, looking for pest infestation and searching for the culprit behind the odor. He found what looked like a possum in a PVC pipe that had originally been a septic system pipe(we didn't know that at the time of Dave's visit)but was no longer in use. The animal was 10-15 ft. into the pipe, so it wasn't possible to remove it, and Dave didn't want to tamper with the pipe until he knew what its purpose was. The company uses a neutralizer spray, a green product that basically stops the decay process and gets rid of any residual odor. After two days, the odor was mostly gone and we could sleep in our bedroom again! Dave promised to come back the following Saturday to respray if we were still having odor problems-he wanted to make sure our house was back to normal before he left town for the Thanksgiving holiday. I was so grateful to find Dave's listing on Angie's list and so happy with his prompt, professional and reasonably-priced service. He also gave us a very positive report on the state of our crawl space-his son said it was "the best crawl space he'd ever seen." No other rodent or pest issues showed up, and the search for the animal also uncovered the possum's way into the crawl space-it had burrowed under a screen-covered vent, so now we know what to fix to prevent future problems. Dave's service is great, and I would recommend him highly to deal with any kind of pest problem.
Description of Work: Ask the Bug Man Pest Management, represented by Dave and his son, showed up promptly at our house on the same day of my call to investigate an unbearable odor that had cropped up in the previous several days. Dave's assistant searched the crawl space for the source of the odor and assessed the condition of the space at the same time, looking for damaged insulation and signs of pest infestation. The problem was apparently a possum lodged in the old, unused PVC pipe leading from the house to what used to be the septic system. The assistant used a neutralizing product and an insecticide, which stopped the decay process, as the animal was too far inside the pipe to remove. He also gave us a positive report on the crawl space itself-it's in good shape and there were no other signs of pests(we'd been worried about the possibility of rats)and told us where the possum had entered so we could fix it. The smell is nearly gone, and Dave said to be sure and call him in a couple of days if we still had problems-he'd be available on Sat. or Sun. to respray the pipe. Overall, it was a very positive experience. We were afraid we'd have to leave our house if we couldn't get the odor taken care of, so we're very relieved.

I was very happy with him. He came out the day after I called to look and give me an estimate. He came out the next day to do it. He was very timely and didn t try to sell me a lot of stuff. He basically came and did the work and said I might need it in the spring again. He gave me a $50.00 for discount for finding him on Angie s List.

Owner showed up promptly and appeared to know what he was doing. Set out several small samples of bait, both sweet and protein, in the kitchen, where the ants had taken over. He also spent some time outside the house sizing things up and perhaps putting out more bait. We didn't watch him at it. Next day, still ants. We called him, and he came back promptly and more or less repeated the process. Ants declined, but were still a problem. Called him again about 10 days in, and he came again and did the same thing with similar results. This was getting old. About a month in, the owner's son came for a scheduled revisit. Ants very much in evidence. Son dusted a boric acid product around the dishwasher and did something outside. Then a miracle occurred. Within a couple of hours the ants disappeared and haven't been back. Why the father didn't have success is unclear. He certainly knows his business, though.

He came out within hours after I called him. He was polite, very informative and very helpful. We were surprised that he only charged $50 and gave him $60 instead because we were so pleased with his work. He even called us later just to make sure that everything was OK which it was.
Description of Work: Yellow jacket wasps had built a large nest in the ceiling of our dining room. They broke through into the house and stung my partner. I checked Angie's List for an exterminator and this company was given an "A" rating.

He was prompt in coming. There were a lot of spiders initially, and he took care of them. I was getting a new refrigerator, and found mouse droppings. He came back again to take care of that problem. Normally he comes once a month, and this month has come by 3 times to help. He is very nice and I appreciate it. I have had pest control in the past, and I don't like the big companies! David is very honest, and has crawled under the house to check, didn't find anything, and didn't charge! He goes out of his way to be good.
Description of Work: He came to take of spiders and then mice. He comes once a month. The cost is per month, him coming once a month. But, he will come anytime you need him.
