We live in the suburbs but are housing plan is surrounded by woods. Our houses are about 60+ years old now, but they are sturdily built. We've lived in our home for almost 23 years and about 20? years ago, we found we had carpenter ants. We had several exterminating companies in to give us estimates which ended up ranging pretty much all over the place. We decided to go with Bill Grill Exterminating. They were the cheapest (we were young homeowners with not a whole lotta money), but we really liked them as well. Their approach from some of the other companies was a lot less invasive (no drilled holes in the walls all over the place, etc.) which was another reason we went with them. All the companies told us that we had an advanced colony that had set up shop in our home. Bill Grill came in and did what they do against carpenter ants and we didn't see another ant in YEARS! Just last fall I saw a couple in our laundry area in the basement, but Bill Grill Exterminating came in and investigated and found that they weren't living in the house, just a few coming in for a visit. They did a treatment to keep them out and we've been good since again.
Since the carpenter ant treatment was so successful, about 15 years ago (maybe longer?) we signed up for the Bill Grill Exterminating "Flying Stinging Insect Program". We get wasps and hornets up in our eaves and they try to build little condominiums
in the railroad ties along the driveway. Bill Grill Exterminating comes over and zaps the house and railroad ties and we're good for the season. There was one year that the little winged ponies were a bit more aggressive and Bill Grill came back out and hit us again, no charge.
The staff, the owners, the workers are all friendly, knowledgeable, reliable (they are here exactly when they say they are going to be), professional, and they don't gouge you financially. They are an honest, homegrown, family business. We wouldn't go with anyone else.
