Every year I have the exterior of my house sprayed to prevent incursion of carpenter ants. These guys' quote was cheaper than the other 2 companies I've used over the last 10 years. BUT !!!!!! The other guys both send someone who sprays most of the siding, soaks it around the door and windowframes and lots around the foundation. This guy dribbled a tiny stream around where the house meets the ground. He wasn't even wearing a mask, that's how little he was spraying.
He SAID he sprayed around the doors and windows but it wasn't even wet up there when he left. The other guys' used to say 'wait a couple hours for it to dry', this company left nothing there TO dry. I'd expect a pest control company to know that ants can climb up trees and drop onto the roof, so more than just a little line at ground level is needed to keep them from finding a way in. It's obvious I have lots of trees near the house. I am really disappointed with this service, compared to the 10 other years this has been done, I don't feel at all confident that it will do anything. The savings was NOT worth it. I foresee having to get them back in a month or so when the ants move in, and what a pain to have to call them back for something that should be done better the first time.
ADDENDUM: The company tried to say "wrong company" on my honest review, to avoid responsibility. I have the receipt, Homestars verified it, so now I think EVEN LESS of these guys, because they could have simply said, "sorry we'll try harder next time" or such, but instead they tried to pretend I was mistaken. As if they couldn't check their own records and see the truth for themselves. Shame on you.
