Got pests? Well, when I get those pests that I need help getting rid of, I call Fikes. So far I've used them twice and have excellent service each time.
You call the office, they hook you up with a pest control tech who calls you back to understand your problem and set up a time to come out. This process of setting up a time has been a good experience. Both times they were concerned about when it was convenient for me (vs. when it was best for them).
For me, the first call was due to carpenter ants. I could not find where they were coming in. The tech walked around and found a tree touching the gutter. He showed me the path from the trunk to the house and it was clear this was the entry point. Remove tree branch, no more ants... He treated the tree and put some safe for kids and pets treatment in the house (not a spray - but liquid trays). Ants were gone.
While he was here, I was talking to him about getting stung while cutting my grass. He looked around and found a bees nest in the ground. I was mowing over their nest without knowing it and getting stung for it. He smoked them out and no more bees.
The second call was for wasp in my basement. Dave came out (just yesterday). He gave the same great service. He studied the house from the inside and out. Found places that were suspect of the wasp getting in. He knew much about the type coming in. He also found a bird nest in my attic with the entry point. He showed me other places of concern that may be cause for future pest to come in. (I appreciated the information and will take care of securing them myself.)
I like this local company. I like that they come out and really study my home. I like they they don't try to sell me things I don't need. They are professional and always on time.
