Daly Termite & Pest Management

Jim was very punctual (arrived early) and did everything he was supposed to. he recommended that we have a handyman come out to fill some bigger holes. I would use them again.

The work was done thoroughly, on time, and Jim's follow-up service was outstanding as well. In a world where there are far too few "genuine professionals," Jim and his team stand head and shoulders above the rest. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and recommend Daly Pest Control with my highest personal endorsement. Jim and his team are the real deal.

He was extremely punctual, kind and explained things very well. He was a very nice guy, no cons about him whatsoever. I would absolutely hire him and recommend him.

I'm on a contract; they come every month. The approximate cost is for the monthly service; they have other plans available. The service is always wonderful. They always go above and beyond the call of duty. The owners come out and do the work. I've recommended this company to my neighbor and I would highly recommend them for any pest control services. Overall, I'm satisfied with their services and I'll continue using them in the future.

After buying an older home with some termite activity seen, I called Daly and requested a quotation for a termite treatment and contract, although we still had a contract with another company that we had inherited from the seller of the house. Jim completely inspected all areas of our home and garage for termite damage and infestations and ultimately suggested that we didn't need a new treatment now because there were no active termites and our house was still covered by another company until 2011. Instead, he suggested that we talk with that company to find out when the last complete treatement was done and, when our contract expired with that company, if we still wanted to use Daly, when a new treatement was necessary (once/10years or so in this area), we could call anytime to obtain a quote and schedule the work. Jim is extremely knowledgeable and explained everything he did during the inspection. I was so impressed with the inspection and recommendation that I asked him to do a spider treatement, which is the subject of this report! A few days after the termite inspection, Jim returned and treated the house for spiders as noted. I asked him to treat the basement and attic both of which were not included in the original scope of the job. Adding these areas added only about $10 to the job. We are very happy with the results of the treatment and will be using Daly for any exterminating needs that we have in the future.

Called on Wednesday, June 30th. Left a message on their answering machine. Waited a week, but never received a return call. Had to call Modern Exterminating to take care of our problem.

Jim evaluated the bug I found (ant drones, not termites, to my relief), inspected the basement and garage, and provided much education -- no charge. Nice guy.

Jim Daly provided excellent service. He and his team members were exceptionally professional, did a great job, cleaned up after the job, and were helpful in getting to access areas that needed treatment. They were not only skilled in their job, but great people to work with. He was able to accomodate our schedule needs and it was nice to work with a very qualified family owned and operated business.

We had what we thought was a termite problem become obvious a day before we were to leave on vacation. Jim came over THAT NIGHT, after hours, to take a look at the situation and let us know that, indeed, it was termites and that we should feel free to go on vacation and not worry about our house falling down. He came the day after we got back and did his thing. He explained everything in great detail and was fast and efficient. He always returns calls, even after the service is completed. And he's incredibly tolerant of our dog who likes to "help." Today the termites are gone and we'll definitely use him to do the follow-up in a year.

I had long-winged insects coming into my kitchen, dropping their wings on the floor, and going out again the way they came. I was pretty sure they were termites, so I did a search on Angie's List and called Daly Termite and Pest Management. Jim Daly came out the next day. On the advice of the woman who had scheduled my appointment, I had put some of the insects in a baggie for Jim to identify; sure enough, they were termites. He did a very thorough inspection of the relevant areas - my kitchen, basement, and back yard - and then gave me an estimate of $500 + tax to treat the outside perimeter of my house with Termidor. He explained exactly how he would go about applying the Termidor, how it would work to kill the colony, and why it would not pose a health risk to my cat (very important!). About a week later, Jim came back and treated the house. This basically involved drilling small holes along the front and back of the house, putting Termidor in the holes, packing them with newspaper, and covering the holes. The whole operation could hardly have gone more smoothly. Jim was able to get out to my house earlier than expected, completed the job in under two hours, and charged me exactly what he had said he would charge. He left the work areas cleaner than he found them. I recommend that anyone who has a pest problem in the Philadelphia area call Daly Termite and Pest immediately. Jim Daly is experienced, efficient, straightforward, and personable, and will not try to charge you an arm and a leg. That's a rare combination!

Very well. Jim Daly was responsive, prompt, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I have lived in this house for 18 years, and this was the most thorough treatment we have ever received for termites.

Time will tell if the ant problem is under control. I expect that it will be fine from the reviews of his work. He was much more reasonably priced than other larger companies whose names are quite familiar. In fact, no one else would just come one time but wanted to charge for contract work. This was a good experience.

Left a message with Jim and he called me back the same evening. I told him I thought I had termites because they looked like ants with wings. I killed them with about a gallon of bug killer. (My husband called me "Chemical Ali." I guess I used too much.) I collected a sample of he little casualties and put them in a baggie. Jim came to my house the next day exactly at the time he told me he would be here. He told me that I do not have termites, but they are citronella ants. Jim said they probably won't come back and he did not charge me for the service call.

Mr. Daly answered his own phone and was able to get in here with only a few days notice. He was late his first appointment but called and was apologetic. He was very thorough, listened to me and answered a lot of questions from me. He tried to give me a discount from his normal rate but I already had the check made out so he said he would get it to me next time. His wife called a couple of weeks later to schedule the followup and he came out and did additional spraying and baiting at the time we wanted. The roach problem seems to be subsiding - his poison even managed to flush out and kill some ugly waterbugs we didn't know were in our basement.

Great. No problems with treatmet application or anything else.

It went very well. We played a bit of phone tag trying to make contact, but Jim called back promptly each time after I tried to reach him. He arrived at the scheduled time, even calling me when he was a couple of minutes away to alert me to his arrival. He had me show him around the areas where I had heard mice, and immediately noticed a bag of material in the garage that was providing a food source for the mice in the attic above. I put it in a container and swept out stray material while Jim put snap traps and poison packets in the attic and garage. He also placed some traps in the basement as there was some evidence of a mouse there too. After about a week I checked the traps and found 6 or 7 mice in them. A week later I found 2 more. I have not heard any noises from the attic in close to two weeks, and I believe my problem has been solved. Jim even called yesterday to follow up on the problem. My only suggestion for improvement is that Jim offer the use of humane (no-kill) traps as well as snap-traps. Since he does not come by to check the traps and deal with the caught mice anyway, the use of humane traps would not mean any more work for him. It would be up to the homeowner to release the caught mice. Besides this minor "complaint," I would recommend him highly and without hesitation. He is very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable (and gave a discount for having found him through Angie's List).

We have contracted with them for over a year and we couldn't be happier. He is the nicest, most friendly and thorough man that we have ever met for a contract type deal. It is a contracted price. It is cheaper to have it for seasonal. It is almost like a retainer. It was a verbal contract between he and I. It wasn't anything huge, but he said that if I would retain him for an annual time, then he would give me a better price for the treatments. He will also come back between treatments for free if I need him. We are extremely pleased with Mr. Daly's service. The quality of his work is very good and he is very professional.

They did a really good job. They were very comprehensive and it wasn?t too expensive. We are now on a maintenance plan where they come out and check the baiting stations. I would continue to use them in future.

We were pleased with them overall. The wasps had made holes in the ground. They were swarming around and flying. They looked like bees on the first day. So, we had Daly Termite & Pest Management come out and they put some powder into every hole that they could find. They later on said that they were gone within a short period of time. They were good, responsive and quick as well. Overall, we were very happy with them. The price that I paid them seemed okay and wasn't expensive. The quality of their work was fine too. We would use their services again, as I think I might have a problem with moles. They were also supposed to get in touch with me about taking care of some mice. I could have called them back and I don't know if the message didn't get through or they forgot to call me back. We don't have much trouble with the moles during the summer, but they might probably come back any time now.

They are very punctual. Their prices are reasonable. They seem like they know what they are doing. I would give them an A on everything.

They were very good and they did a good job. I am pleased with their work and professionalism.

He was gracious, great, and explained things to us. He also gave advice on how to remedy our mouse problem once and for all.

He got there and got the job done within a day. The job was neat and thorough. I would recommend him to anyone with any exterminating needs.

They were really good. I just called them, and they came out the same day that I called. They were very professional.

We were selling our house and there was a question about termite damaged beams in the basement. Were the termites alive and eating or long gone. He was friendly, professional, and I trusted him to do a good job. He evaluated the condition of our beams,deciding the house wouldn't fall down so we didn't need to do any repairs, and explained the lives of termites. We decided to hire him even though his was not the lowest bid. We enjoyed having him around.
