I paid Compass pest control (Dave Roeder) in advance for spraying and applying a granule to my garden beds. I also contracted Roeder to build me a metal hand rail so that my wife and I could climb the steep garden slope to treat our raspberry plants. Roeder asked for an advance on the hand rail as it would be $825 in total to complete.
As he was a member of our Church I said okay. Roeder did not turn up to complete the hand rail as promised. It took at least a month for him to turn up. I did not receive any answers to my many texts. I finally went to his Mobile Home and confronted him. He came and finished the job two weeks later and started to answer my texts. The rail was completed and apart from the paint runs on the rail top that he said he would fix, it was very good. He never came back to fix the paint runs.
On to the spraying. I paid Roeder $135 dollars for the last two sprays one for spiders and one for pre emergent weeds. I left him a text on September 24 2020 asking him when I can expect our final pest spray and weed control. He responded that the pre emergent was going to take place on September 30, 2020 and the house bug treatment was scheduled for Monday October 5, 2020.
On Tuesday October 6, I questioned him why he had not completed the pre emergent treatment on October 5 as promised. I did not receive an answer at all. On Wednesday October 7, 2020 I again contacted him by text when can I expect the work to be completed. I also informed him because he was not answering my texts. "Do I need to come to your home again for an answer"? On the same day October 7, 2020 He responded "I will be mailing out a check to you for $135, I will not be doing those services. Please check your mailbox"
On October 15, 2020, 8 days later, I texted Roeder again and told him the promised check of $135 had not arrived from Kennewick to West Richland. His response "Look Dude I am not the mail service, Enough if you do not have it on the 16th I will cancel the damn money order and deliver the freaking cash. I am not the mail service so don't expect me to track their services" I responded immediately with "When did you put it in the mail?" He responded "I dropped it in the mail on 10th October 2020, I have no clue as to their delivery" I then asked for a copy to be sent as a text, of the receipt from the Post office" I have not heard from Roeder since that Thursday October 15 at 3:31 pm and I have checked my mail on the 15,16 and 17 and the money has not arrived. To sum it all up this individual David Roeder is not someone you can trust with a cash advance in any way. He might be a great sprayer but he is not a man of his word and cannot be trusted with anyones cash.
Check out yelp on the All Safe Pest Control company he was going to buy from an individual that taught him the business. Read the yelp review on there how he answered the Lady about redoing her spraying.
I am going to visit this Dude at his Mobile Home and will get satisfaction. Guaranteed. Thank you for reading this all through, people that take advantage of Seniors need to be eradicated as the spiders are. read more
