When I discovered I had bed bugs, my family and I began asking for quotes from several extermination companies. Pesticon was the most reasonably priced without sacrificing the different levels of treatment needed to really get rid of bed bugs. (For those unfamiliar with the process, the best attack plans include pesticides, diatomaceous earth, and steaming of items in the bedroom. Ahmed answered all of our nervous questions and calmed our anxieties with a lot of patience. He went the extra mile (getting and installing mattress/box spring covers for us, buying pet-safe diatomaceous earth for our own use, and showing up only an hour after calling him in an absolute panic when I thought they were back). His 6 month guarantee helps us sleep better at nigt, and we couldn't be happier with the service.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $400.00
- Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
- Do your homework. Bed bugs are resilient-- they will come back if you a)don't have the right exterminator who is experienced with them and b)if you aren't careful with your post-treatment precautions. Once you've got all the information, shop for exterminators-- you'll have a much better sense of who is ripping you off if you understand what will be needed to treat the problem. Pesticon offered the best deal we could find, and we are very happy Ahmed's service.
