    Enjoying its supper from Yates brand of snap trap without setting it off.

    So incredibly disappointed, we have a clean well kept house and have had service with Yates Astro for about 30 years. But within these walls exists something from horror stories, 2 Ft long Monster rats! For the past few years I've been complaining to Yates that our walls and attic is alive. Our beautiful home has been infested with rats, roaches and termites, the rats are the biggest our Technician and I have ever seen. I've contacted them numerous times but it was a waste or time and money. I had to personally devise a way to kill then and have eliminated numerous rats (varying generations) because the traps and bait Yates used has never worked, not even 1 rat was eliminated with their methods. To add fuel to fire, we hired a contractor because our floor was buckling and it has to be replaced because it was loaded with Termites. When I contacted Yates their so called termite expert was a no-show for his 1st appt. Then we were told that after 30 years of their treatments, their work was NOT guaranteed. They will not pay for any damages whatsoever, but will retreat only with the stuff that didn't work in the first place. They really dropped the ball here, 30 years of monthly AND annual payments and our home is being destroyed by unwanted guests. What a complete waste of money. You may want to consider a service that has effective treatments as Yates Astro certainly doesn't! I had a choice, move out of our home forever or teach myself to become a "Rat killing pro", the technician joked about hiring me for consultations because I now know so much about them., *********************** What I've learned; They do not like or love the tubes stuff Yates squeezes on all the traps (that they claim will work), these smart rats eat so carefully out of the snap traps that they never set the trap off. Of everything I experimented with to catch the monsters, fresh spinach worked best. To kill them in the snap traps I put peanut butter in the hole then shoved raw almonds in it so tightly that they really had to tug to get it out, topped with fresh spinach they couldn't resist the temptatio. Also, don't waste your money on the Haveaheart traps, one rat entered 1/2 way, it went off, it escaped and must have shared the news because they never ever entered again. It may work for mice but these big critters know all the tricks. I also suggest you use a motion detector camera if you find the tell tail signs, when you learn their habits it's a lot easier to stop them. They ate 1 bag of Decon but wouldn't touch it again. (They wouldn't eat the super killer food Yates puts in their bait boxes at $15 per box so don't waste your money). They did like a product called Cykill that I found on Amazon. I can't even imagine how many were killed with the 2 pounds they ate of that. The biggest rats seem to let the younger ones be the guinea pigs, that's why you ultimately have to do a hard kill on them because they resist the poisons. This is probably more information than you ever wanted to know about rats, it certainly is for me! (Especially when we've paid for a service for 30 years and shouldn't have ever had this enormous problem in the first place).

    We trusted Andrew at Capwell Home Inspections because he was recommended by our agent to thoroughly…read moreevaluate our home before closing. Unfortunately, we did not feel the inspection was very thorough. During what felt like a very quick inspection, he told us he had found termite activity in the home, then immediately stated he was "just kidding" and assured us everything looked fine, ultimately giving the home an "all good." Just a few weeks later, active termite damage was discovered that required extensive repairs costing thousands of dollars. By that point, we were already committed to the purchase and unable to back out of the sale, which was devastating for our family as first-time homebuyers. Years later, we ran into him in person and brought up our experience, hoping for professionalism or accountability regarding the financial burden and stress we went through. In our experience, the conversation became hostile, and he stated he "didn't care" and would continue making the same termite joke with future customers. Others with him also made jokes about the situation, saying he "brought the termites with him in his pockets," which we found upsetting given the seriousness of what our family experienced. In our opinion, a home inspection should help identify serious concerns before closing and provide buyers with peace of mind. Based on our experience, we would not recommend this company to anyone purchasing a home in the Lowcountry area

    We are in the process of buying a second home to live in while remodeling our main residence. John…read morewith Prism did a fabulous, honest and thorough inspection of the home and found issues that were very serious and hazardous that we wouldn't have known about until it might have been too late. The inspection was peanuts compared to the shoddy, irresponsible work that had been done on a home, most likely all without permits and the possible risk of danger to our family. The report was one of the most complete, easy to read with pictures to show the problems and wad 104 pages! One of the sad parts to me is that the little house I fell in love with had too many costly and dangerous issues and we had to back out but the most important sad part was that someone would list a house without making the repairs or disclosing them because they were very hazardous. I sincerely hope they are fixed before the house goes back on the market or some family buys it without doing an inspection with Prism. Thank you, John and Prism, for having such ethical inspections that cover everything, whether it's cosmetic or something very hazardous. We will be using them again on the next house we plan to purchase.

    DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE! They missed a bunch of mold at my property I closed on. Don't let them…read morelook at your property alone. They also left our thermostat at 60 degrees for a whole month! Plus they've never got back to me.
