Do you get excited about pest control services? Me neither. But Colin and his boys give such great service that I feel compelled to write a review.
Environmental Pest Control wasn't the first such service I hired, but it'll be my last one. They're awesome. The first pest control company I hired didn't fix my scorpion problem. But Environmental Pest control did.
Before these guys helped us out, my wife and I found at least 4-5 scorpions in the house every week, and my wife was stung once already. We had been in our new house for only about 2 months and already considered moving because of these damn stingers. Since the first company couldn't fix the problem we started to think all these pest control companies are just scams.
Colin and his crew from Environmental Pest Control changed our minds. On the first visit they THOROUGHLY went through the entire house and yard and sprayed their juice, laid those sticky traps (gave us a bunch more to use later for free, too!), and then spot treated more areas.
We found a bunch of dead scorpions over the next few days, all of which could have done some serious damage to us if Environmental's voodoo hadn't killed them off.
Colin personally called to ask how things were going. He offered to come out again for free if we found any more scorpions at that point. We didn't, but the fact that he offered was awesome.
I understand they use stuff that's not harmful to plants or pets and honestly that concerned me a bit. I was worried that what they use wasn't strong enough to kill scorpions but thankfully my worry was unfounded - their stuff works very well.
Colin and his colleagues taught us a ton about scorpions and other Arizona pests, and how we can avoid them or at least minimize problems. They continue to educate us whenever they visit us, about every 2 months based on my current plan.
After the first big visit, their subsequent visits are more maintenance and don't take that long. They text or call about a week before the next appointment is due, and they've always been extremely accommodating in working around MY schedule. They never give us the we'll come out between 10 AM and 5 PM this Wednesday so you better be there or forget about getting service crap.
I also chose to get billed automatically so I don't even have to worry about the awkward payment thing either.
I don't generally like strangers walking around my house. But Colin and his guys are clean cut, super friendly, very honest, and do their job quickly and cleanly. Their billing is transparent and reasonable.
Environmental really tries to earn their business and outservice and outwork their competition by going the extra mile.
I've been on Environmental's plan for over eight months now and plan on keeping these guys until either all scorpions move away from Arizona or I do, whichever comes first.
