DO NOT HIRE PHS WEED & PEST CONTROL!!! I hired PHS for weed control, fertilization and pest control. The first year was great. I praised and recommended them to several people. Last year turned into a nightmare. The great tech he had the year before had quit and the new tech caused considerable damage to my Hibiscus, Korean Spice Viburnum, Boston Ivy, Blue Rug Juniper. The tech sprayed the Hibiscus just as they were coming up but some survived. A tech sprayed them again as they were getting ready to bloom. The tech first lied about spraying them the second time abut finally confessed he had. The owner admitted his tech had sprayed the Hibiscus and acknowledged other spray damage. He was going to take care of it in the Spring when we could see what was permanent damage and what wasn't He has since reneged on that promise. I am sorry the owner did not make the effort to work this out like he said he would. I am even sorrier I paid for this mess. I spent $150.00 for an inspection and report from an ASCA Arborists last Fall. I took samples to both NW SEED & PET and the Spokane County Master Gardners WSU Extension and they came to the same conclusion Round-Up or like product which is used for weed control. Professional's that came to my house explained particle drift and vapor drift, high temperatures or even a slight breeze. Vapor drift is when a pesticide volatilizes or evaporates into the atmosphere and moves off site and damages non-target plants. There is a pattern of damaged healthy plants right next to where he sprayed for weeds. The spray caused the damage. He did not get experts or even take samples for testing. He had every opportunity to do this. I gave him permission to take samples but he chose not to. He removed a lot of dead debris from the Junipers and the dead Hibiscus Stalks last Summer right when it was all happening. That was his perfect chance to get expert opinions or testing. He hauled hauled away a lot of dead samples. Since neither of us knew the best solution to make this look better I suggested we hire an expert to provide us with the best solution. I had reported it to my insurance and they said the damage is not covered under my homeowners but his insurance should cover it. I asked him if he was licensed, bonded and insured. He said yes but has refused to give me any of that information. That is when his cooperation ended. He now trying to blame the damage junipers on bugs or disease. One of the reasons we used the Juniper is because it is resistant to bugs or disease "the Spruce" author David Beaulieu: Common Pests and Plant Diseases: "Blue rug juniper is not bothered by serious insect or disease problems." The pictures are just a small example of damage that was done. Concrete retaining wall shows before/after pictures of Boston Ivy. Korean Spice Viburnum red/green bush one sprayed the other one not. Healthy Hibiscus and dead Hibiscus after he sprayed them. Crawling Rug Juniper sprayed or caught in drift. +4 read more

See all

I had a very bad infestation and called PHS and Greg was so informative, and not only did he rush to treat my home, he thoroughly explained the process, and was extremely honest about what the expectations were instead of just coming to treat one time and collect money. He wanted the bugs gone as much as I did! He was wonderful and my bugs are gone!! I HIGHLY recommend this service to everyone! He is also very reasonably priced!! read more

I wouldn't recommend these guys Greg had an attitude and was very unprofessional when he came out to my home to spray for ant issue that was supposed to be taken care of 5 days prior, he also stated he thought it wasn't a priority why he took so long to respond to the problem. We lost about 80$ in food from our pantry and had to deal with his pompous demeanor. read more

Greg & his guys are great! They've made our yard look so much better & they are friendly, knowledgeable & helpful. Highly recommend!
