*Update: The general manager contacted me soon after this…read moreencounter. He was upfront and honest about the reasons they canceled: Covid-19 and a crew accident left them short-handed, and he also confirmed there were safety concerns with North Minneapolis (interesting their staff was on their way when they canceled...seems those safety concerns were more the issue than being short handed). I offered to reschedule so the chaos could cool off and he said he would only reschedule if I agreed to take down my reviews - I told him I'd absolutely modify my reviews if he assured me that the blatant lying of his employee was addressed. I have not heard back in over a week. Do with this what you will, but I will not be working with them in the future. Please note that I was fully refunded.* I do not recommend - this company red zones areas they don't want to work in, then will lie to your face about it and hang up on you if you express your opinion on their behavior. Don't support them; take your business to a company that respects the community they serve and has more than a modicum of ethics. BEAST Wildlife Solutions canceled an appointment for attic inspection that had been paid for and on the books for a month. I received the cancelation call after getting a call from their inspector, and within 30 minutes of the inspector's supposed arrival time. They offered two excuses. The first was that "we've been considering a policy for several months to not do work in your zip code, as the homes are too old and require too much work to address wildlife issues." The second was "we didn't realize where you were located when we made the appointment." Both of these are at very best partial truths, if not flat out lies. They knew exactly where I was located when they scheduled the appointment AND when they took my credit card information for payment - they even looked up work they'd done for my neighbor (and told me exactly how much my neighbor had spent on their services..which seemed questionable at the time). This is blatant zip code discrimination, likely due to the tragedies experienced in my community over the last week associated with the George Floyd protests. Let me clarify: I don't believe they've done anything illegal. But, they absolutely are willing to lie to you and will do it with a smile on their face. In my opinion, businesses that discriminate blatantly do not belong in our city. Hopefully this review pushes a few paying customers (all would be awesome!) to more ethical, responsible, and worthwhile options.

Now in spring, planning repairs and wanted to try to ensure the rodent problem was over. Signed up for a 2nd look. Squirrel environment drastically changed since first service, two wooded lots now have homes, neighbors have done some heavy tree trimming. Same 5 days of monitoring. Camera set up late afternoon on Monday, expecting monitoring until Friday, or Saturday with late Monday start. Got couple of email notes, no activity on camera. Tuesday was rain day, squirrels were staying home. Valor was out at 8 am Thursday and pulled the camera and noted they found nothing, ending service in an email. Only 2 1/2 days of service. There was no call or contact with us saying they were cutting service prior to Friday / Saturday afternoon - 5 days. Called Valor to ask why pulled early. Said they saw nothing, pulled it early. First service squirrels were caught on 3rd and 5th days. Asked if we'd get a pro rated refund for the 2 days not serviced. They said no. They BOOKED BILL like auto shops or plumbers/electricians - set price no matter how fast they complete the job. They got their full payment and make extra money by moving on to next job early. But with those other folks, their work is completed. Valor said they knew it was done. Guess they talked with the squirrels and got a written agreement. Major takeaway is Valor's determination of end of service when they think so, not any kind of duration of service. They claim the 5 days is an UP TO approximation, they really determine the end, and in our experience, with no prior contact with the customer. Only an email saying they pulled the equipment. We will never use them again, nor would we recommend their services with that kind of business / customer service. We'll just go national next time.
