Clark's Termite & Pest Control

1 year experience with Clark’s Pest Control. Initial treatment with quarterly maintenance treatments. And we scheduled additional treatments between quarters due to the bugs that just kept coming. Despite this the bugs never stopped coming. When Clark’s came they would treat only a specific area. So for example they were called out for Argentine Ants by the trash can. They sprayed and they died but very next day the ants moved to dog bowl. Then you would have to reschedule and they would come out to treat that area. They would not do anything but what any homeowner could accomplish with Raid insecticide themselves. During their coverage new German cockroaches showed up we never had prior. How does a home under pest control develop a problem with bugs it didn’t even have before? They offered additional treatments at additional costs. Clarke’s sent an angry young male as our contact person who we declined immediately due to his agitated behavior and suspected mental illness. They sent a replacement who was a supervisor but the majority of the year the contract was under his care and he failed. You really don’t want Clarke’s undereducated male employees prowling around in your house. I wonder if Clark’s or one of their employees are diluting their chemicals to make more money. After I fired them and spoke to other pest control companies, they acknowledged they are aware of many customers with similar stories leaving Clark’s and only from Clark’s. When I cancelled it was easy, they were happy to get rid of customers like me. They just wanted the spray and bill customer and not actually to provide a service. Yes we understand they are a business but this was more like a scam. We had Clark’s provide a termite estimate as well, my termite guy looked at it and just said you know they aren’t even offering you formite Termite protection which is now endemic in my area. I wonder why they did that but I know. He said most people don’t know the difference and the price is lower so it looks good. Clark’s advertises as a family company which they were, but they are not now, they are a business first, second and third. Do not be fooled, they aren’t there to help they’re just they’re to collect your money. Now that we have been with another company for only 1 month, the bugs are gone. I wish we had moved on from Clarke’s along time ago but we didn’t know we were being taken advantage of.

Clark's lawn staff are the best - they ask/listen to concerns, always let me know what they're doing to the lawn & provide follow up instructions. They treat the lawn several times per year for weeds, they fertilize, perform soil sample tests, etc. Am the only house on the block with a weed free lawn.

Good and we received feedback on things we could do ourselves

Outstanding. Also, found another problem that HVAC company needs to address. Highly recommend

We’ve been real pleased with them. It’s a little family run business and they do an excellent job. They are actually coming out next week and we use the sentricon bait system, so they would be coming out and checking the bait system. We’ve been real pleased with them. They are a termite protection, so we use them on an on-going basis. What they do is they maintain it, but they come out several times a year and check the bait stations. We have a contract with them, so it’s an on-going contract. I think they come every 3 months. They check the little bait traps every 3 months. We pay $3,500 a year for our termite protection. We’re pleased with the price and the quality. If we’re not pleased with people we don’t use them. If we use them they’re an “A” or we don’t use them anymore. We’ve been using them on-going for several years.

We were working with a tight schedule and our poor inspector came out, sick as a dog, to keep our Friday afternoon appointment. Since the appointment was late in the day, he told us the inspection report would be emailed to us by 8 am Monday morning. We had to follow up with them on Monday and didn't receive it until nearly 5 pm. On the one hand, I appreciated that they kept the appointment; on the other, I was frustrated that the work was not completed in the time frame we were told. In most cases, a few extra hours on a termite inspection probably doesn't matter, but in our case, it held up our real estate transaction and cost us money.

Excellent. Staff are very knowledgeable and communicate well. Yard maintenance staff even stopped by a few weeks after treatment to access status of lawn. Yard looks great.

Now my crawlspace is bone dry!

Excellent quality and workmanship

Clark's has done a really good job. We had an issue with ants when we first moved into our home. Since the treatment, we have not had another issue, nor have we seen any other types of insects. Highly recommended.

Wonderfully! They humanely re-homed the squirells and came back two weeks later to squirrel proof soffit.

All technicians were polite and professional. They did an excellent job for us. They were always willing to go the extra mile and make a special trip to provide service at a time that was more convenient for the homeowners.

Clark's provides several services for us on a regular basis: basic termite and pest control, carpenter bee control (which also keeps wasps from building on our wood-trimmed house), and mosquito spraying in season.They always call to confirm the apt, are on time, and do a thorough job. They always make sure we put the dog inside before they start the treatment.
This particular time they told us we didn't need to treat the bees, which was great.
