The pest control office has never had a problem reaching me. About a week ago I walk outside and see their truck so I went over to say hello. The man in the truck said he wasn't there to say hello he was coming to remove my termite bait traps. I was shocked. He said they had been trying to call me for my renewal but I was avoiding them so they were there to remove my traps. Wow. They have reached me every quarter for a few years and charged my credit card every time without problem. But for some reason they couldn't reach me for termite. Not true. The owner Steve was so rude. Now I have purchased my own traps so as they pick up their trap I will drop the same plastic trap back in its place. In other words if this happens to you, go online and buy your own very inexpensive traps. Pretty crazy.

The office personnel are beyond rude, refusing to book appointments for mouse control because "It's termite season and you just need to call another company" . Which I did - but fast forward 3 months later when It's time for my annual termite inspection - the office lady again was very rude - I received a bill before service was performed and when I called she said "It's not my problem - I don't care if you pay your bill or not" SO... I requested to speak with Augie Jr (new manager) he ditched his appointment with me and has not returned any phone calls. Find another company. Augie Sr would be appalled at how the business he worked so hard to build is treating their customers now. Shame Shame

I've been using Brans Pest Control, and no one else, since I moved into my current apartment 10…read moreyears ago. About 8 months into my first year living here, I was gifted with a disgusting, rapidly growing roach problem courtesy of my upstairs neighbours. Let me set up this nightmare fuel for y'all: at about 1AM on a Thursday night, I hear a crash from the room above my bed... And then another... And then a few more. Just when I'm about to set my book aside and roll out to see what's going on, I hear a shrill, muffled "OH MY **CKING GOD THEY'RE IN EVERYTHING" from above. I've been on this planet living amongst nasty twenty-somethings, who never do dishes and don't know what a broom is for, long enough to know EXACTLY what was happening. Sure enough, about 2 minutes later the crashes migrate outside where they are catapolting everything they presumably own out the front door. I spent the rest of my flashing life into the wee dawn hours staring red-eyed at my ceiling, as if the bugs were going to phase through the drywall to rain (or reign) upon my head. The next morning, as I lumbered into my kitchen, I entered my first staring match with the recently displaced occupants of unit 3123B. After months of waiting for adequate response from my landlord - low expectations from the start I assure you- and several failed attempts to negotiate rent or a cease fire out of the colony of refugees making use of my amenities, I just stepped right over that line and went searching for myself. I wanted a local company a) to support local business, b) because I don't trust the service of corporate brands and don't want to deal with their "customer service", and c) don't want to be locked into a contract. I landed on Brans, and from day 1 they were professional, very fairly priced, and guaranteed their work. No lie, it took a few visits and about a month to erradicate the roach problem, which did not surprise me, but they kept on the ball and resolved the issue within my original agreement. I took over property management for the landlord and have been using Brans quarterly for the entire house. They are very honest people, and have worked within my budget. I have used them to take care of bugs and rodents and have yet to be disappointed.

This multiroom warehouse offers a plethora of bits and bobs from donated and gathered home improvement wares. One time I picked up an old door, an old timey facet head and some hinges. From these super economical finds, I was able to fabricate a garden gate, using the faucet as a creative spin on a traditional doorknob or latch. I love it. Recently, I eye spied, a partially used tub of tile adhesive and several random tiles. They'd be the perfect solution with someone with a tiny bathroom or counter top that needed sprucing up. You can find doors, windows, screen, light fixtures, tiles, wood, paint, and a whole host of parts that you can't pick up at any big box store. Think of the green project like a thrift store for your house or creative endeavor. Be patient and diligent, as it can be hit or miss.

The Green Project is essentially a graveyard of houses that have been sadly torn down and the remaining good parts salvaged which allows current homes to be repaired with the remains of destroyed ones. The biggest negative here is the sticker shock prices of many of the items as you are no longer getting good deals on many of the items which might have been much more possible right after Hurricane Katrina.

I have been through a ton of different Orkin employees over the years I've been employed by this company, and he is by far the best. He pays close attention to the areas I have concerns about and actually does the list of rooms I give him. Whereas the others would be here 5 mins. and done. He is usually here no less than 30 mins. I always try to compliment him when he's leaving just to keep the morale and let him know how much we appreciate his work and efforts to keep our hotel treated. Thank you Denmark! Orkin- this employee is a gem very rare, and he deserves a raise or a paid vacation lol.
