Read a ton of reviews for companies in the general area and decided to go with AWR and I'm glad we did. Paul was super quick to get out to our house to investigate and found the entry point. He set up a trap and within a few hours, there was a fat, male grey squirrel in there. He came back out the following day and blocked off the entry point and took care of the squirrel and trap. Couple of days later and no more attic activity of any sort. He did a wonderful job sealing off the prior entry point to make sure we won't have new guests trying to make a home in the attic. It's rare these days to get great service, quality work, and the pricing not be astronomical. Paul was fast to respond, easy to contact, and provided great service with an easygoing attitude. He didn't try to make me feel dumb about not knowing as much as he does. He actually wanted to help me solve my problem and not rob me in the process. I can't speak for any other similar companies in the area, but I would 100% suggest AWR to anyone with critter issues.

He then gave a detailed breakdown of what we MIGHT want to consider in the future and made great suggestions. He stressed that these things did not HAVE to be done immediately or at all if we didn't want to and never tried to scam or rush us. Since he was willing to deal with stuff I wouldn't want to do, I offered him a tip, which he refused. Honest, friendly, direct and no B.S. - I will definitely call on him anytime in the future as needed. Give him your business - we need a lot more people like him!

But even these have been well handled. Therefore, I highly recommend them. Are they expensive? Yes! But in this case, for me, the old adage of "You get what you pay for " is holding true.

It's extremely frustrating to pay $500 for an incomplete service that only took the technician 40 minutes and did not get the job done. Subsequently, I persistently called, left voicemails and emailed for 2 weeks letting them know of my issue and they kept giving me the run around. It's unfortunate because they were so quick to get me scheduled to take my money but when I told them they obviously didn't do the job I paid for, they have been completely ghost. Because of the nature of the situation and the health hazard, I had to call another company to fix the faulty job they did. The new company is excellent, great customer service and I will recommend them to everyone with any similar issues as well as my HOA because we have wildlife issues is my neighborhood quite often. Companies like Jesse James do not care about customers... customers who work hard NOT to throw away money! I do not write reviews often so when I do it's because I value my dollar and do not want others taking advantage. Sadly, I was referred to Jesse James by another company who could not get to me sooner so I'll have to also let them know about my experience so others do not have my same fate! And do not lie and say you were not given access to the interior of the house (like you did in your response to me on Google). If you would've called me back or responded to my emails - had a conversion about any of this you would have heard the truth. Review our invoice that states exactly what we said no to - upcharges your technician tried to sell us for exterior gates around the vents. This is exactly why your customer service is horrible. You as the owner weren't even respectful enough to respond and let me know hey this is what my technician told me but what actually happened? Again, absolutely horrible - all around hands down despicable service and an even more terrible leader who would rather hide behind a computer and lie on the internet than face the truth!

I don't often write reviews so when I do, it means I was thoroughly impressed…read more We found and hired Kevin during our home buying process. He found the termites and we asked the sellers to consider using him to treat for them. They agreed and were just as pleased with him as we were. He was responsive, professional, courteous, on time, and did an outstanding job for us. To be specific, he catered to our schedule, completed the job, gave follow up emails with details, and shared how to be proactive in the future to protect our home. After we completed the termite (and other wood destroying insect) inspection/treatment, we signed up with Kevin for his annual (quarterly scheduled and unlimited call in request visits) pest control service. We've been here three months now and he has been at our "beck and call" ever since. Any time we have seen anything, he has shown up quickly and handled. He always wears his mask without being asked (which is a HUGE deal to us especially as so many people have stopped wearing them during the pandemic or scoffed at us for asking), he ensures he takes off his shoes or wears booties in the house to protect our rugs (again without being asked), and HE proactively emailed for our quarterly service. Additionally, he went above and beyond for our rodent control needs, as we did not want to use bait which slowly and painfully kills critters and can cause secondary kill on predators such as owls who may unknowingly eat poisoned rodents. We wanted to use quick kill snap traps when we heard what we believed was a mouse, and he came and set the traps, checked them frequently and we were able to catch the one mouse that was causing the sounds we heard. We also were having mole trouble in our yard, and didn't want to use snap traps that might be found by our little dog nor slow-kill bait, so he sourced a pet and environmentally safe repellant that we happily paid for (he only charged us cost) - and it works! On top of THAT, we could not find a decent spreader for the mole bait, so he indefinitely loaned us his. We also had trouble with an ant infestation that was disturbed when a plumber replaced our sink strainer/basket and we could not get them under control. He was willing to do fogging, etc. after the bait kept killing but was a little slower than he would have liked because of how large the ant infestation inside the walls must have been when disturbed. He was relentless and nothing but a perfect gentleman, without EVER showing signs of frustration at the many times he had to come out here. I mean, really, how many service industry people can you say all of this about? I can not speak highly enough about Kevin, his personality AND his business. I would not hesitate for one second to recommend him to anyone seeking pest control services, small or large.

Just started working with them. Does seem like I'm seeing fewer bugs now. Price may be a little highread more

DO NOT trust this company for bird exclusion services…read more We paid $350 after their technician showed us video of birds actively flying in and out of our house. Another crew later came out, claimed there were "no birds, just twigs," sanitized the area, installed a metal cover, and left. Now there are flies surrounding the covering, birds trying to get back inside, and we can still hear chirping and movement in the wall/vent area. Instead of fixing the issue, it seems they trapped live birds inside our home while creating an even bigger sanitation problem. Terrible communication, conflicting explanations, and a complete waste of money. Absolutely unacceptable.

When I bought a house in Fredericksburg, I tried to continue the previous owner's service warranty with Orkin. After several attempts, I gave up. The price was just nowhere near what I thought was reasonable. So, I searched and searched online for another company for months. One pest control company told me that I already had enough protection in the ground and others wanted thousands of dollars to drill holes and pour gallons of poisons into the ground. Then, one day, l discovered Dodson. The representative was punctual, courteous and honest. He gave me a detailed price quote that he fully explained. Yes, the planned services and price were similar but this time I fully understood them. Dodson didn't try to pressure me. The representative left me with his quote and told me that I could start services at any time. I had told him that I already had a lot of home improvement projects underway so I didn't want to commit then. So, no, I haven't signed with them yet, but when I'm ready to start a termite plan, you can be sure that it will be with Dodson.
