Since moving into my home I knew we had some uninvited, pesky vermin neighbors and roommates . Noises in the attic, in the walls, as well as chewed wires and insulation under my hot tub were signs. My trusted Westies, A.J. followed by Jackson, experts in vermin detection, Ratters by design, confirmed our suspicions, constantly on alert to noises in the house and sniffing the base of the hot tub regularly.
Initially I called two companies for inspection and bids, getting estimates from both.
Following a bonafide referral, I contacted Archie's Aloha Pest Management for a third bid. Archie's Pest Technician, Nick Magorian arrived as scheduled, and meticulously inspected my home inside and out to assess the rodent "invasion", noting the possible number of "uninvited guests", the various locations and ways they were gaining access.
Two days later a detailed estimate was presented for rat exclusion, interior trapping, outdoor trapping, rodent stations, with periodic visits to monitor the success of the exclusion/expulsion. Nick Magorian was so through and totally on it!! They didn't have a chance getting into or staying in my house.
Last week Nick arrived as scheduled to finish the job, rodent clean out and sanitation . Quickly removing rodent droppings, debris, nests, and soiled insulation, followed by cleaning and sanitizing spray, my Attic is sparkling.
Working with Nick educated me on the do's and don'ts of proper rodent control. Archie's is extremely careful to use only non-toxic bait stations and sanitation materials. I was definitely concerned that my Westie might find one of the departed guests outdoors and ingest something toxic or try a taste of a pesky vermin. No worries - Non-toxic is paramount to Archie's.
From start to finish my experience with Archie's, starting with scheduling with Kyla in the front office to the Vermin Magician Nick was nothing short of fabulous. The work was a solid 10, Customer Service a solid 10 +, and the pricing more than competitive. Archie's Aloha Pest Management Rocks!!!
As Nick was getting packed up to leave I opened my freezer to find a totally incredulous and supernatural invasion...ANTS. Yes indeed a clump of ants frozen inside the freezer, with more on the way in. What? Mini-Lemmings going over the edge into frozen solitude. We both shook our heads and carried on. read more
