Called hatch and they took care of trapping and repairing the door as well as filling any other small openings that could let them back in. Such a relief not to hear that scrambling around under there at night! You might have to wait a week or two to get an appointment because they are very booked up and that is because they are the best! Good fair pricing as well.

Efforts by Hatch Pest Solutions to exclude mice and chipmunks from my cabin in the woods appear to…read morebe performative at best. After sending me a message on the phone that they found a number of dead mice and dead chipmunks last week, on the third billed visit, with no mention of exclusions, the VP of Operations, Lisa, now claims that they have sealed up the outside of the house. I haven't confirmed this because it takes two hours to drive up there. On the next visit, they plan to sanitize. My husband now tells me that Hatch employees who came out for the estimate said there's a monthly Hatch customer in the forest nearby. They said they sanitize using Pine Sol. They didn't bother to inspect the space underneath the cabin. I've now had the very unpleasant experience of researching what it actually takes to exclude mice and chipmunks from a pier and beam cabin. Rodent borne pathogens require industrial enzymatic neutralizers, not scented household cleaners. The urine of mice and chipmunks can be detected by other mice and chipmunks from hundreds of yards away, acting as a beacon for proven habitats such as my cabin. Chipmunks are great diggers and have to be excluded using industrial grade steel hardware trenched underground. If exclusions were done correctly, I won't be a monthly customer for Hatch, which is probably really their goal.

Efren from Wrangler Pest Control was one of the first to get back to us on Yelp, and we set up a time for him to come take a look. Right from the start, the guy impressed us. He showed up early (which almost never happens with service people), explained everything clearly, gave us a fair price compared to the others who quoted, and just had this calm, patient vibe that put us at ease. No high-pressure sales stuff and he actually took the time to walk us through what he was seeing and gave us some solid tips on keeping mice out for good. We went ahead and hired him on the spot. He set up traps, sealed entry points, and we cleaned up what was there. Thought we were done... until a few days later when a couple more droppings popped up. Frustrating, but Efren had already told us he stands behind his work with a warranty. Called him, and he was back out super quick with no hassle, no extra charge, just fixed the issue. Honestly, my wife and I feel like we picked the right person for the job. Efren's efficient, trustworthy, and actually cares about getting it right. If you're dealing with rodents or any pest stuff, I'd tell you to go with Wrangler Pest Control and ask for Efren. We'll definitely be calling him again if we ever need help, and we've already recommended him to a couple neighbors. 5 stars all the way.

The workers at Outback Zack are great. The worker who primarily came to my house was Seth. He is…read moreextremely friendly, a hard worker, and very helpful with all of the questions that I had. I had a rat infestation in my house for about a month. I tried catching them myself but only got a couple and decided to hire the professionals. Seth took care to make sure all entrances to my house were sealed and answered various questions I had regarding the rats. As of today all of the rats are gone and I am very happy. My only complaint is the front desk not booking me properly. I had to call multiple times to confirm and book appointments. A couple appointments I told them to book me for a couple hours because I still heard rat activity midway through the process, but the front desk waved me off and booked me for a 30 minute "trap check" appointment. However, when Seth came for those appointments he took his time and spent multiple hours at my house on several occasions sealing more entrances and setting more traps. Very happy with the workers but I think the process could have been sped up if the front desk had booked the workers properly and in a more timely fashion.

Friendly service. Went out of their way to help. I will call again if I need something else!read more

This Veteran-owned business is the best on the mountain!…read more Jodi is a superstar at what she does. With over three decades of experience, it's no wonder she is so proficient at what she does. We've had Jodi service our business and several of our houses over the years and after doing so, our spiders, ants, and/or roaches just disappear. Although she doesn't treat for bees, we called her last summer when a swarm invaded a tree in our backyard. She assured us they would be gone within 24-36 hours and then explained, in detail, exactly what the bees were doing and why. And sure enough, just as Jodi predicted, the swarm left just as quickly as they arrived. Jodi is kind, honest and has some insane integrity. She's not going to lie to you or promise something she can't do. (Although it seems as if there's nothing she can't do!) She goes above and beyond to provide an excellent service and she values her customers and their high opinion of the service she provides. Oh, and she is super funny too!

I have always found him honest, communicative, and dependable with inspections and any work to reach clearance for any wood destroying pests. He is always able to get the inspection done quickly and also any needed work. I just had him repair dry rot wood on a house and deck I am getting ready to list. His crew replaced a lot of wood on the deck and then thoroughly painted the decks, the hand railings, and touched up some of the house to have it look great and ready to list. My clients were very pleased with the work completed, and happy with his price and workmanship. When I find dryrot on my personal home decks, I call Adolfo with Empire Termite, to give me an estimate on fixing the boards. They always do a good job replacing the boards and painting for me. His prices are good and he gets the job done timely. I highly recommend Adolfo with Empire Termite Solutions for your termite inspection, repairs and treatment, for your real estate transactions or for your personal use.

Thankfully, I found ProTech Pest Elimination and they completely turned things around. From the moment I spoke to Kaity in customer service, I knew I was in good hands. She was incredibly professional, kind, and patient. She listened to my concerns, explained the process clearly, and scheduled everything without any hassle. Her communication was top-notch, and she made what could've been a stressful experience surprisingly easy. When the technician arrived, I was equally impressed. He was friendly, respectful of the property, and very knowledgeable. He took the time to walk me through what he was doing, what to expect after treatment, and even gave tips on how to prevent future issues. I appreciated how thorough and transparent he was not to mention how effective the treatment was. Within a short time, the roaches were completely gone. Because I was so happy with their work, I ended up hiring them to treat another one of my properties that had an ant problem. Again, the service was seamless and highly effective. Same level of professionalism, clear communication, and best of all and no more ants. They have a 30 day warranty which provides the customer a piece of mind. ProTech is one of those rare companies that does exactly what they say they'll do, and does it well. They're prompt, reliable, and really care about solving the problem the *right* way. Highly, highly recommend them for any pest issues whether it's your home, rental property, or business. I'll absolutely be using them again if anything comes up in future.
