We knew we had rodents around, but when I opened the coat closet door to see a big Norwegian rat scurry across the coat rack, the extent of the problem became all too clear. We called Safeguard, who promptly sent out Tim Hagen. Tim assessed the situation, found the points of entry and closed them carefully so that rats and mice couldn't continue to enter. He put out non-poison traps both on the grounds and in the garage, then came back quickly to empty and reset the traps. That was 6 years ago. Tim continues to come regularly to spray for ants and other insects, do inspections for rodents and keeps our home pest-free. He does a great job, is very personable and we enjoy seeing him. I would recommend Safeguard, especially Tim Hagen, to anyone with a pesky pest problem.

Heidi, the service professional was excellent. Very thorough and knowlegeable. She gave us sound advice on where the rats were getting in the attic and how to prevent future problems with them. She did a complete inspection of the attic as well as the perimeter of the house and set traps. We were very pleased and will contact her again if needed but hopefully we won't have to.

They were very good. We used them basically one time. They had to come back once or twice to follow-up and resolve the problem. We basically used them for one event. It was not very much. He was very helpful. He worked us into his schedule. I would use him willingly anytime.

The owner, Gary, came to see what my concerns were with the carpenter ants. I saw few in the house and around the house and killed them with household spray. But being carpenter ants, I wanted to talk to an expert as I am relatively new to the area. He came to give me estimate and what he would recommend. He said my house is lower risk because the trees didn't hang over the house and the siding didn't go all the way down to the ground. He gave me very good education and said that he does not see anything major and didn't push me much at all which I appreciated. I told him that I would sign up for quarterly spray if I see ant activity after the first spray. He did it himself at discounted price even though he came to do just the estimate. I also had him come inside and educate me on Pantry Moss. He knew his stuff. He's been in the business for 30 years, he says. I liked him. If I see more carpenter ants, I will sign up for the quarterly spray.

It solved my problem. The service is now done quarterly. The people who come are helpful, and I feel better about living in my home because of this service.

The serviceman called ahead of time to schedule when he would be there, as we had agreed. I wanted to be there when he came to do the work. He came as promised on time, and did what we had agreed to. No problems! Would definitely recommend Safeguard as a local company that works at a reasonable price.

Tim was very professional and easy for me to get along with. After telling me the price he wrote up the contract and had me sign it and pay him up front. He did not try to pressure me into regular treatments, which I appreciated as you always wonder if they will do as good a job on your project if you don't sign up for regular treatments in the future. He pulled off a few of the siding boards and killed over a thousand ants and said it should last for a few months. It seemed amazing to me how much damage the ants had done to the siding and wall board. Luckily, we planned on having new Hardie Board siding put on in one month so the timing for this probably couldn't have been any better. All went well and Tim was done in one hour.

The provider was responsive and knowledgeable. He was able to correctly assess the infestation problem and eliminate it. He did so at a modest cost. We were very pleased at the outcome. The provider worked us into his schedule at very short notice, which was very helpful to us, as we were about to leave town for a few days. I would recommend Safeguard Pest Control in Lynnwood to anyone looking for pest control services. We selected this provider based upon prior favorable reviews in Angie's List, which we felt were accurate and representative of this provider's work.

It turned out well. He seemed to be knowledgeable. It was nice that he told us the things that we could either do ourselves, or he could come back out and give us a quote on what it would cost. The pricing was reasonable.

It felt really quick. I didn't really have an opinion on it. We didn't have critters, it was more preventive for the outside perimeter of our house. I didn't really have anything negative, but there wasn't anything really amazing either. The cost influences the overall. The guy was great and super nice, but the price was pretty high. I would use them again if they offered a good deal, but I would not seek them out for more services.

"We offer a regular quarterly service to our customers where each service can be as much as 1/4 the cost of a single 'on-call' service! We offer a discount to people who find us through Angie's List, and it basically represents the loss of the profit was make on each new job. It's the most we can afford to do.We no longer offer 'Big Deals' through Angie's List, since we lost way too much money. Too many people looking for a screaming deal, and too few people who became regular customers. I can totally get where you are coming from. It is hard for me to understand why some things cost what they do too. Our fees are highly competitive, we shop our competition regularly - and most of our customers tell us that we are the least expensive option. We would love to charge less, but our charges haven't even begun to keep up with our costs. Not only do us owners make less than 98% of our customers, we work 60 hours a week or more for that privilege. If someone could please talk Google into cutting it's ad fees in half, talk our suppliers into huge discounts, and tell our technicians, who have families, that pay cuts are awesome, we would love to pass the savings on. But to be serious, the cost of acquiring a new customer can be as much as the entire cost of the initial service. We lost over a $100.00 off of each customer we serviced through the 'Big Deal'."

It was good. They were very professional. Everything was resolved. They got rid of the bee hive. I think they got everything.

I contacted Susan on Thursday and they were out on Friday. They treated the entire house and I am quite pleased. I received an electronic copy of the invoice, as requested.
