Don't walk ..... RUN away from "The Bug Man" for your pest control needs…read moreIn fact... help "exterminate" The Bug Man's unscrupulous and fraudulent business practices by not hiring him so future consumers don't get bilked as well. Real estate agents take note. Read on... only if you want to know more of the details of my bad experience with this company. "The smallest things can cause the biggest problems"..... like a fraudulent termite inspection report... The Facts: * The Better Business Bureau reports, "The Bug Man,LLC" pest control service company was founded in June of 2008 by Mr. Jeff Braley. * Mr. Russel Braley; lic./cert. # 22860; is an inspector for "The Bug Man, LLC"; he is also the son of Mr. Jeff Braley. * Inspector Russel Braley conducted an inspection of a Prairie Village home on 10/9/2018 for an elderly couple (prospective buyers of the home) as part of the inspection process prior to closing on the home. * Mr. Braley's 10/9/2018 inspection report stated the following: o Visible evidence of live insects; "Live termites in between fireplace and garage also in basement". o "Mud tube in between fireplace and garage also in basement same place" o The report stated that there was no visible evidence of previous termite treatments within the structure. o The report recommended treatment for the control of the termites. The seller of the home; findings and actions: * Upon receipt of the report and subsequent request to treat for termites the seller of the home examined the areas of the home identified in the report, in an effort to locate the live termites and mud tunnels. None were found. The seller of the home is a qualified construction professional and versed in the basic identification of evidence of wood destroying insects. * The seller of the home requested a meeting with the inspector at the home so that the reported evidence could be pointed out and identified. * Mr. Jeff Braley said he stands by the issued inspection report, even though he never set foot on the property, and stated that another fee of $85 would be charged for him to come out to the home to point out the termites. Refuting reports/Inspections of the home: * The seller of the home caused two reputable pest control inspection companies to conduct extensive inspections of the same home. Neither inspector found ANY evidence of live termites or mud tunnels between the fireplace and garage, nor anywhere in the home. * Both subsequent inspections also pointed out obvious evidence of previous termite treatments within the home and garage. * This information refutes The Bug Man's inspection report. Conclusions: * There are no live termites, nor evidence of live termites or previous termites, or mud tunnels within the home. * The Bug Man, LLC tried to take advantage of an elderly couple by submitting a false inspection report, with the hopes of selling an unnecessary termite treatment. DO NOT HIRE THE BUG MAN FOR YOUR PEST CONTROL NEEDS...... HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED. DON'T GET TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. Please contact me if you have ANY questions regarding this review.

STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY…read more This company left me in financial ruin and robbed me of the joy and excitement of purchasing my first home. They stated that the sewer line needed a simple auger to clear some tree roots when in fact it needed at least 20k repair. They also stated the condenser was manufactured in 2016 when in fact it was manufactured in 2002. I have quotes, video, and reports to back up all of my claims. Do not trust their reviews because these people are the definition of negligence. I am not an expert in any of these trades which is why I trusted them and their recommendations. Please don't make the same mistake I did. Nobody deserves to go through what I am currently dealing with

I'm happy to say no one in my house died from Carbon Monoxide poisoning, but I was shocked that a pipe with a giant hole in it sitting right next to the HVAC unit that was "inspected" was not noted. Total waste of $700

He is very thorough and after he was done he told me to call him anytime about the house after the home inspection. I called him up a few days after the inspection and he took the time to answer my questions. The report he sent me about the house was the best part. It was one of the most detailed home inspection report I have ever seen. The report also has color pictures of issues or items, and detailed notes to go along with it. I would recommend Jerrod for your next home inspection. You won't be disappointed. Plus he is an honest guy.
