Having discovered that the house I'd bought had a termite problem despite having supposedly been…read morecertified free of the little buggers, I've used Smart Pest prevention for about a year and a half. And I have generally been satisfied. Their folks come on time -- or offer to come early if they're ahead of schedule -- and are always pleasant and efficient. BUT they do one thing that drives me crazy: Instead of contacting the customer to schedule an appointment at a convenient time, their automated scheduler simply informs you that they're coming at X date and time. Because my schedule varies, that almost never works, and I have to waste my time contacting them to reschedule. When I complained about this once, they said, roughly, that they have to do it this way. No they don't. I've never encountered another business that operates this way and it's a constant source of frustration.

We sprayed and sealed areas where they might enter and rid our home of them. To date, they haven't returned. Recently, our lanai, as well as our neighbors', were overrun with pill bugs. Our advice from the site manager was to schedule Mason for an additional treatment at our own cost (not covered by our dues). We instead purchased a bait that slugs, snails and pill bugs devour and die from. After 3 boxes of the bait they were no longer invading. We included our neighbor's lanai since they were traveling. Mosquitoes, flies and ants are abundant and we have observed no reduction after scheduled spraying by Mason.

The price was better than other services in town. Sadly, I lost my tomcat in the procedure. He evidently snuck back into the house after we cleared it. The owners and crew felt terrible, as does my family. We corraled three of our cats before the tenting but couldn't find the rascal tomcat, who had high-tailed it when the crew arrived. So sad. I've urged the company to allow the "sweep" of any house be completed much closer to the time they start the gas, but evidently there are complications with that. Anyway, good company, work was professional. Be careful with your pets!

HOWEVER, I have had 3 other companies tent my home & talked with many friends about this over the years, and Bowman is the ONLY company that actually did it correctly. The whole point of tenting is for the gas to penetrate deeply into the joists and studs. That's where the mosquitos are breeding. So, unless there is a very tight fit along the ground and around the house , the tenting is useless and the gas all leaks into the atmosphere. Thousands of dollars for nothing! Bowman is the ONLY company that made sure ( a guy came out 3!! times to check before the actual tenting), that I had followed their instructions to make sure that the "snake" that holds down the tent would be a tight fit. Each time, he walked the path with me, pointing out problem points. I needed to pull out weed bushes and move lava rocks so that the "snake" could lie flat. I also had to smooth out the ground somewhat (and it's very uneven here in South Kona). It was a huge but necessary hassle. Why pay thousands of dollars it you don't prepare the ground correctly? Bowman did bring a lot of sand to help with this task but my ground is uneven enough that it required extra work. NO OTHER COMPANY that I've heard about goes to this much trouble to do it correctly. I have talked with sooo many people about this. So, while I, too, wish that the termite companies were better at cleaning up afterward, their main job is kill the nests of termites. And Bowman will do that.

I called KPC the next morning and Heather was great explaining their services. There's no contract to sign & it's month to month, they setup the appointment, was on time and put out the bait boxes. I have to say they took care of the mice. I'm a very clean person a retired Fire Captain and my property is very neat and clean. I think they're coming from the palm tree behind the property & across the street. I'm very impressed with their service, on time record, & scheduling. This is a great company, I highly recommend Kona Pest Control and the prices are great. Heather is very great at scheduling and has a great personality. You will not be disappointed.
