Destroy Pest Control came out and took care of a Yellowjacket nest in…read moremy chimney. The technician methodically assessed the problem and approached the nest from inside and outside the house. The technician located the nest and used a pesticide to kill them. The technician also stated that I should watch to see if any yellowjackets attempted to come back and if they did, he would return at no charge.

Service was untimely, unprofessional, and ultimately ineffective…read more I called Destroy for a mouse problem. They showed up a couple of hours after the estimated time window, citing a delay at a previous job. It happens, not a big deal. They came and sprayed around the outside, plugged some gaps, and set up 3 or 4 bait traps and some sticky traps. This took all of 20 minutes. They talked me into a one year service plan that costs $1484. (I immediately felt I had been strong armed by the technician). He had also said the only way we would resolve the mouse problem was to replace all of the insulation in a part of the house. The cost was $10,000+. I declined their upsell. (A second opinion advised this insulation was unnecessary). The service plan was to come back in a month to reassess the mouse situation and replace traps. We scheduled the next service with a window of 9 am - 12 pm. I stayed home from work to wait for them. After hearing nothing , I called at 11 am for a status. I was told they were running behind and could not be there until 1 pm. That didn't work for me so we rescheduled for the next day from 8am - 11am. I stressed that I was only available until 8:45. They reassured me that I would be the first appointment. (We live about 20 minutes from their office). The following day, we stayed home again. Heard nothing until 8:26 when the technician said they were running late and could be there after 9. Frustrated, we adjusted our schedule and waited. The technician showed up reeking of weed. It was apparent the technician had smoked very recently. Perhaps that was part of the reason for the delay. They did the service and left in about 20 minutes. The technician offered to take $50 off for our trouble. Strangely, he Venmo'ed us $25 from his personal account. I called later to express my concerns. I spoke directly to the owner, Thomas. He was professional and offered to personally come back and take a look at the mouse problem. He said he'd cancel our contract and prorate the money if we wished. I stressed I had a very short time window and had to leave the house by 8:45. He assured me multiple times that he'd be "in your driveway by 7:30". The next day, after hearing nothing, I called at 8:30. Thomas had forgotten our appointment. He said he could be there in 20 minutes. I reminded him how he quite literally guaranteed that he'd be in our driveway by 7:30. He eventually said "You're right, you got me". He agreed to refund us our money for the contract. To his credit, Thomas heard my complaint with professionalism and was apologetic. His offer to take care of the issue personally at no additional cost was appreciated. Had he followed through, we would have likely remained customers. I followed up 3 times over the next 3 weeks. Heard nothing until a month later. They refunded me $935, thereby charging me over $500 for two service appointments that took all of 20-30 minutes each. We still have mice. Edit: to suggest this is fabricated is ridiculous and dishonest. Everything is documented in emails.

I recently had Sean come back out to my home after several years. The last time he treated my…read moreproperty was right before the COVID-19 shutdowns, and at that time he did an excellent job. Fast forward to this year, when I started noticing signs of mice in my home. I immediately thought of Sean because of the great experience I had previously. He came out promptly, performed a thorough inspection, explained what he found, identified possible entry points, and provided a clear plan to address the issue. Sean is professional, knowledgeable, honest, and takes the time to answer questions without making you feel rushed. It's reassuring to work with someone who genuinely cares about solving the problem rather than just making a quick sale. I highly recommend Sean's Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy pest control services. It's great to know that even after all these years, the quality of service remains outstanding.

I have been receiving quarterly services from Am Pest for many years. They were adequate, although…read moreincreasingly more expensive for filling bait boxes periodically. Recently, I noticed a major rat infestation (in central DC) and called for an emergency appointment to put poison in the fivw new burrows in my garden. The events that happened afterwards persuade me that this company is highly disorganized and in need of systems repair to assist a customer seeking specific help. First: although I asked for poison "dusting," Am Pest sent me a technician who was blissfully unaware of my request and, he told me, not certified to use "dust." He called his manager, who is qualified to do "dusting." But the manager chose not to come because it may rain later today. They did not set up a new appointment, and the report from the technician said that there are no further issues at this residence. I don't blame the technician, who seemed to be new, for all these problems. BUT the major rat infestation in my garden remains untreated! I had also requested extra bait boxes for a neighbor--also an Am Pest client--who shares the major infestation. The technician never received that request, even though the person who made the appointment said she wrote it down and I could accept the boxes for my neighbor. Notably, the technician's manager said that HE lacks authorization to approve extra bait boxes for their client--my neighbor. (The technician actually had extra bait boxes with him. He just never got approval to leave them.) The manager purportedly sent a request to approve the new bait boxes to someone else. We do not have the new bait boxes. Finally, when I went to the company website looking for how to write senior management, I discovered no named organization leaders. they are well organized for sales. Less so for emergency service. That is why I am writing on Yelp. (The relevant dates are July 6 and 7, if anyone from Am Pest actually wants to apologize for this mess of non-communication about why exactly I had called for emergency service in the first place.) Meanwhile, I am beginning the search for a different pest service.

I live in an old historical part of Baltimore and came home to the lovely surprise of a thick swarm of flying ant-like insects all over the property. They were congregating around the old wood piles, so I was certain they were eating it and called up in a panic. (I had never dealt with a pest issue before and I was terrified at the thought of something possibly eating my recent purchase). So I called and he asked me to text him a few pictures. Turns out it was just citronella ants. (Generally harmless and definitely don't eat wood.) He could have easily taken me for a ride in my naivety, but he didn't. I'll take expertise, honesty, and integrity in a heartbeat. I'll also have him first in my recommendation list for others or in case I have an actual problem in the future.
