Snap Pest Control reviews (495)

Thanks guys for the review.This job involved a few pesky mice that managed to enter the home via a small gap in the siding. The mice weren't hungry and traps were used since their entry was now closed. Finding such a tiny access point was accomplished through a long initial inspection. Sealing the area is crucial towards achieving longer lasting results.Jioe

Originally, I was contacted to inspect a unit three doors down from this one by another pest control company. As it happened my client was seeing alates ( winged reproductive termites ). Having called a major company in the termite world she was told by the rude receptionist that they were carpenter ants and that she should buy some raid. Having a keen sense she asked for a second opinion which lead my college to recommend Snap pest control. Upon arrival A preliminary inspection revealed that termites were indeed present at the home. I brought Domenic in because we had to surgically remove walls, vapor barrier, insulation etc.. and as a contractor he could do it so that other trades could follow us with minimal work and stress. We bought paper for the floors,and I had a vacuum cleaner running as the drywall was being cut to leave the unit as free from dust as possible. In the end the damage structurally was quite significant and therefore it became evident that all the homes in this row have the same structural flaws contributing to excess moisture levels and hence termites. Having treated 3 of the 5 units already it is clear that the newest chemical ( Altricet ) ) in our arsenal against termites is actually working well. We still have 1 more unit to treat and will be conducting yearly inspections.Joe

I used a trick to knock down the numbers of wasps before injecting a dust. There is always a chance that large numbers of wasps can enter a home if they are agitated enough and therefore I prefer to lessen the numbers considerably before treating. I know from experience that this is going to be the worst wasp year I have ever seen.Get the nest taken care of now because by September they will have double or even tripled in size. Joe

I never saw two happier people open the door then these girls. Even I was hit hard by the wave of the carcass smell that emanated down the hall and hit me. I knew right away by the sourness and strength of the odor that is was in a moist damp spot. The girls were convinced it was in a wall behind the refrigerator. My olfactory ( I just had to use this word in a sentence ) skills told me to look underneath and inside the lower back part. Having removed the back end of the refrigerator the smell was more prevalent. I used a snake scope and could see some blackened image stuck to the drip tray itself. The problem was the tray was in tight and impossible to remove. The girls wanted the thing out badly so I told them that the quickest way was to empty the contents of the fridge out and then we could put it on sits side and remove the tray. We made a chain and removed everything out, scraped off the cadaver, soaped and sterilized the refrigerator and added some mango scent to the mix. A happy ending.Joe

Thanks for the review. This job was done at night and they were all nicely tucked in for the evening. They didn't even know what hit them. Joe

Thanks guys. Its a good feeling to know that clients are happy and even after 2 years will call regarding another pest issue. A common carpenter ant trail is a cable going through a tree from a neighboring back yard. I noticed the ants traveling on the line right away.Joe

Thanks for your review. Nice to know your happy with the work.Joe

Thanks for the review. This job involved many trips as the home was being surrounded on all sides by many squirrels. I had to darn mountain climbing gear just to get onto the roof it was so steep and high. The little squirrels especially were getting into the smallest of gaps and knowing which entry point took long hours of observation. All in all the job itself took almost a month to complete just because of the sheer amount of squirrels and their stubbornness to finally leave.

Thanks for your review.The home had definite access for mice to venture into the basement. These basement jobs have similar characteristics and the mice tend to use familiar routes to gain entry into a home. I had seen this scenario a few times before and knew exactly where to look. I will follow up in the fall to and check for any new evidence. Joe

Thanks for your review. Glad to hear your mice are gone. I will be coming back to this job in the fall just to double check things.
