Five-Star Review: Exceptional Service for 7 Years! We have…read morebeen using Barefoot Mosquito & Pest Control for seven years now, and their service remains consistently exceptional. What really sets them apart is their transparency and professionalism. I love receiving the detailed service reports after every visit. They include clear pictures and a thorough explanation from the technician--like Ethan Green today--detailing exactly what areas were treated and which products were used. Whether it's dusting the eaves for wasps or creating a solid barrier around the foundation, they are meticulous and professional. It is rare to find a company that maintains this level of quality for nearly a decade. If you want a pest control team that is reliable and keeps you informed, I highly recommend Barefoot

TLDR: DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR ANNUAL SERVICES, ITS A SCAM…read more Exclusion staff are nice and professional, but back office staff haven't been helpful at all, and now I'm being sent to a third party debt collector after never receiving a bill for services. I've been reticent to write this review because the actual people who have come by to do the exclusion work on our house have been nothing but professional and apologetic for past work and mistakes made to the work they did, but what I've experienced the past 12 months from the billing department, customer service and back office staff has been so frustrating. Full Review: We hired Barefoot Mosquito over 18 months ago to close off some attic points where we had heard squirrels and other animals. After that through a separate company we replaced our insulation per advice of the Barefoot team. After 6 months we heard noises and called them to check the traps, that team didn't find anything that concerned them, but when we rescheduled before our annual subscription service was completed, a technician by the name of Devin came out and said all of the exclusion work was done wrong, there wasn't any netting over our pipes, and there were fresh droppings in the attic and in our fresh insulation. He told us that Barefoot would fix this for free as it was their mistake and under warranty. What followed was 6 months trying to get a team to fix the issue, multiple days off work, no shows from exclusion teams, and not sending enough staff for a two story home, which I reminded the scheduler each time. Then came the bill. I thought it was an error, because again, I was told this work was their mistake and would be covered. Apparently by scheduling the remedy after the initial annual subscription for servicing the house, they auto-renewed it despite confirming that I wanted to cancel the services. I have now spent the last 3 months trying to get this billing resolved. In a bit of fury last month I told them I shouldn't have to pay for work they messed up in the first place, which in their billing department's determination qualified me for surrendering the payment and being sent to collections via a third party debt collector. I really don't do these types of reviews. I typically move on and accept when I have a lemon for a product or service, but sending people to collections without first calling them back after 20+ calls is just wrong. I picked this company because it was an Austin company that I wanted to support, learning that they got bought out by private equity a while back all makes sense now. DON'T USE BAREFOOT MOSQUITO, ITS A SCAM!

The overall rating of this business is five stars. I decided to scan through the over 160 reviews…read moreand discovered that most of them were written by people with less than 20 reviews to their name. I tend to dismiss those reviews since they don't really have much skin in the Yelp game. There were just two elite reviews and that was a red flag to me as well. Nonetheless, I decided to give this company a chance and got a same day appointment to rid us of our carpenter ant issue. We've had carpenter ants running up and down our garage exterior for a long time and in the last few days we've had flying ants show up in our living room. It was time to bring in the pros. One thing you need to be aware of is that you can schedule an appointment for this service, but like most pest control companies, they will insist on a quarterly service agreement on top of the initial service. Our initial service cost was $134 which included a $75 discount that came with a $53 monthly payment for each quarterly visit. That comes to over $700 a year ( not including termite issue) for the basic service which does not apply to fire ants. Since I accepted the discounted initial service I had to sign up for a years worth of service before I had the option to cancel. That's something you need to keep in mind because that's a lot of money just to snuff out a few ants. The one and done service doesn't really pay the bills, it's the subscription service that drives the business. My same day appointment was scheduled between noon and three, they ( tech +trainee) showed up shortly after two. I let the tech know about the ant issue and we walked around the perimeter of the property while he swept away wasp nests. Inside he sprayed some powder in the upstairs attic while looking for any possible rodent infestation. The tech did spot some termite activity at the corner of the garage. After spraying the perimeter and infected areas with poison, he then treated the yard with ant bait that looked like Andro. We decided against spraying chemicals indoors due to sensitivities. The discovery of termites greatly added to the bill as pictured below. I'll go ahead and get the termite service and the quarterly check up during the contract period. I thought I would include all the bills and pertinent information so that you can get some idea of what you might experience. One thing that did catch me off guard was that after they left, I received a brief survey which then led me to a tip screen for the tech. It's not that he didn't deserve a tip, it was just the first time I had seen this form of online solicitation. Overall great experience with knowledgeable and friendly techs, not real happy about being funneled into a monthly payment plan for quarterly visits, but we'll see where that leads. Check out the photos. Possible updates may follow.....perhaps leading to a 5th star.

Initial Impression and Installation:…read more Initially, the job by Attic Wrangler looked great, and we were pleased with the attic restoration. We hired them before our baby was born in December 2023, under the impression that the rat problem would be solved before the baby's arrival. However, our satisfaction was short-lived as the rats returned shortly after the work was completed, rendering all the good work useless. This became an ongoing problem for over a year, to the point where Attic Wrangler admitted they didn't know where the rats were coming from and suggested we hire another company. Stress and Health Concerns: This ongoing issue has caused immense stress and health concerns for our family, especially with a newborn in the house. The smell of dead rats became a common occurrence over the course of a year, making our living conditions unbearable. It got so bad that we seriously considered leaving our home and renting somewhere else. The constant rat activity and foul odors significantly impacted our quality of life and peace of mind. Warranty and Lack of Response: Mr. Kellso promised a so-called warranty in the event that the rats did return, assuring us that we would be covered. This promise turned out to be a complete lie, as Mr. Kellso has gone MIA, not responding to any of our communications. Timeline of Major Events and Failures: June 2023: Hired Attic Wrangler to remove rats and restore attic before our baby was born. Despite several visits, the problem was never resolved. July 16, 2023: Reported hearing noises again. Mr. Kellso scheduled a follow-up check. July 21, 2023: Appointment rescheduled last minute due to Mr. Kellso's accident. October 6, 2023: Mr. Kellso missed the scheduled visit, citing a job in San Antonio. October 15, 2023: Notified Mr. Kellso of multiple rats; requested additional traps. November 3, 2023: Continued rat activity. Mr. Kellso was inconsistent with visits. December 2023: Baby born. December 26, 2023: Requested smaller traps due to continuous activity. January 19, 2024: Multiple rats still present; ongoing trap issues. February 11, 2024: Informed Mr. Kellso of foul smell from dead rats; newborn in the house. Mr. Kellso delayed visit until he returned from Minnesota. March 23, 2024: Rats returned after a month of no activity. Mr. Kellso failed to solve the problem. April 27, 2024: Mr. Kellso agreed to visit but requested rescheduling multiple times. May 3, 2024: Rats were still present, traps were missing or ineffective. July 2024: Rats continue to infest our attic, and Mr. Kellso suggested hiring another company. Issues with Service and Attempted Resolution We knew of rat activity because we had multiple cameras surveying the attic. Mr. Kellso did make an effort to try new methods during some visits, but nothing made an impact. He was highly inconsistent with visits and often rescheduled at the last minute. Despite our patience, he failed to solve the rat problem. Moreover, after suggesting we hire another company, Mr. Kellso stopped replying to our texts and phone calls. We attempted to be very reasonable and figure out a compromise by asking Mr. Kellso to refund a portion of his work so that we could apply it towards hiring a new company. We even offered to ensure he would still be paid for a percentage of his efforts. However, we received literally zero response from him. This lack of communication and accountability is infuriating. Conclusion: We are now out $6,000 and back to square one with rats in the attic and soiled insulation. We also need to pay another company to redo the work. This has caused immense stress, especially with a newborn in the house. Attic Wrangler's service was a complete failure, and Mr. Kellso's unprofessionalism and lack of responsiveness were unacceptable. If we cannot work things out soon, we will be forced to pursue legal action. I strongly advise against using their services.

They were 90 minutes late but that's fine for a last-minute booking. The guys were friendly in person but did say a few things that made us think they were pretty new to this. Unfortunately, the treatment did not work. They said we'd see a bunch of ants come out and die, but we did not see that and instead still had live ants still on Thursday (1/16). I reached out again to John and he said someone would come out on 1/19 between 1-3pm. At 3:45 on 1/19 I asked for an ETA and John said one tech called in so they were behind. I asked to have them come on 1/22 anytime between 9a-1p On 1/22 at 10a I asked to confirm and John said I was on the route. They no-showed. At 4:15 I asked when I could expect them. No answer. At 5:45 I asked for a refund since they missed two separate appointment and I now want to call someone else in to help with the ants. John saw the message and didn't respond. This guy left me on read on business outreach. My husband and I both reached out and said we'd like to get a response before leaving reviews. I'm pretty sure John blocked us both. Smart Living asked for my review multiple times, so here it is: as far as I'm concerned they stole $200 from me.

FAKE COMPANY!

They never came out for my second appointment, and the phone number is no longer in service.
