In mid-summer of 2021, my house here in Staunton, Virginia became infested with fleas. With the extremely dry weather and the sweltering heat, it went from a few fleas to a full-blown invasion seemingly overnight. I contacted Dodson Brothers Pest Control's office in Staunton and they came over the next day. What followed was an epic ordeal that lasted a month. With COVID-19 and less people outside, perhaps a new breed of super-flea has emerged, as these horrible pests seemed to be immortal. It took three separate indoor flea treatments (along with all of my daily vacuuming) as well as two outside perimeter treatments with the pump truck to find and eradicate the source. And after nearly a month (where it was touch and go for a while), we've achieved a hard-fought victory! As of today, September 14th, it's been fifteen days without a single flea in the house, nor outside, and knocking-on-wood aside, I think we can finally say that it's been a success! (Although I still compulsively look down at my feet and ankles, expecting some fleas to be jumping on them--PTSD. If you've had an infestation, you understand!)
Throughout this awful ordeal, the folks at Dodson Brothers couldn't have been nicer, and more helpful and accommodating! Every single time after I reported more fleas after a treatment, they'd return as soon as they could, cheerfully and not begrudgingly at all. I always felt that they had my back, and that we were going to see this thing through together, which we did. They were tireless in their dedication to fix the problem, which at times seemed monumental. And they never made me feel bad or hesitant to mention when the fleas were still there. Trust is most important when dealing with strangers who offer a service with the promise of success. Dodson Brothers were painstaking in their dedication to finish the job, and thanks to them, the problem was solved. I would heartily recommend them if you are unfortunate to have such a terrible infestation. Five stars and my heartfelt thanks, as my home has been reclaimed! read more
