We discovered we had a subterranean termite problem at our house, particularly around one of our showers. Bert's Bugs was one of three companies that came out to give us an estimate for treatment options. Although his price was higher than the others, his treatment plan was less invasive than the other companies. Of course, they trenched around the entire house for the customary treatment and will come back annually for inspections. But instead of a "blind" application that involves cutting holes in the bottom of the cabinets at the kitchen sink and each bathroom sink and drilling a hole into the foundation at each site, then leaving a metal plate to check at the annual inspections, his proposal was to drill a hole in the wall and inject the termiticide into the wall behind each fixture. We were much happier with this less destructive option, especially when he explained that current research shows this method is just as effective. After our contractors discovered more damage when they ripped out the offending shower, Bert ducked out between his other jobs (on a Saturday!) a couple of days later to apply more termiticide to the area.
I wholeheartedly recommend Bert's Bugs. Bert and Laurie were super professional and took the time to explain our treatment options and how we can minimize any future issues. Although we have not used them for regular pest control, I would not hesitate to call him for that either. read more
