Now, I know I normally write reviews on restaurants and such but I have to give a very necessary positive nod to a company that really helped me out during a renovation. I was the project manager supervising the renovation of a townhouse in the Columbia, Maryland area that has a pest infestation the likes that God himself rarely sees...and believe me, that's saying something. Every square inch (or centimeter for the metrically inclined among us) of the house had some kind of 6-legged, non-rent paying squatter, crawling around, playing cards, checking on their eggs or complaining about a bad call made by the referee against the Ravens in their most recent game against the Steelers. Needless to say when you walked into the home, two things crawled - your skin and the walls. I went through over 32 Raid insect foggers...no, ladies and gentlemen. That's not a typo. I did indeed say 32, in addition to 7 cans of Raid bug spray and I was only able to kill a tenth of what was in there. I felt like Sigourney Weaver marooned on a planet 75 light-years from Earth, positioned near the queen alien's nest with only a slingshot, 7 rocks, a mosquito net and two granola bars. I called a few pest control companies in the area, some of whom were booked solid and one who absolutely would not take the job based on the description alone (gee...whaddaya know - a pest control company that doesn't want to do pest control.) When I got to Phenom, Laurie (I hope I'm spelling her name correctly) answered in a voice so polite and possessed a demeanor so jovial, she'd make a Chick-Fil-A employee seem like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. She patiently listened as I gave her the synopsis of my problem. She then connected me with the supervisor who didn't just send employees out. He came out to the site PERSONALLY, gave an in-depth onsite assessment, and promptly with his associate began the first treatment. He informed me that there would be multiple treatments and that it would take some time, but the schedule was adhered to and the price was quite fair. Long story short, the home looks as though it NEVER had a pest infestation of any kind. And talk about professionalism - they were willing to spray each adjacent unit to ensure the problem did not migrate to the next homeowners over. Now THAT is the definition of good service! I'm not just making this review to make it seem as if they are a great company. I know for a fact that they are a great company, staffed by people who are courteous, professional, and do what they say they are going to do. Phenom is a company I trust and will definitely work with them on any and all future projects. They excel at removing pests... ...perhaps I should call them about a certain ex of mine who is proving to be somewhat troublesome. Might need more spray, though... read more

Totally Recommend Phenom pest control. Quick and professional work. They have serviced my residence for over three years. read more

See all

We were impressed with Brandon's expertise, professionalism and thorough work when he came to our home for our termite inspection. His knowledge of termites was extensive and it was fascinating to follow him around our property as he found active termites outside and termite mud tubes in the basement. He explained everything very clearly and patiently answered all of our questions. He presented us with an effective and timely plan to deal with our termite problem which allowed us to make a well informed treatment decision. Brandon was a pleasure to work with and we appreciated the time he spent with us to help us resolve our termite issues. read more

I very happy with this service! Noah came today to treat for the carpenter bees swarming underneath my deck steps! I use Phenom for outside and inside my home for pesky insects. I highly recommend this company. I've used thier services since 2017! Reasonable price compared to other pest control services! read more

Teah was very friendly and was attentive to the information I gave her before she started the treatment. She followed up with what she had done once she was finished. I recommend Teah and Phenom Pest Protection. read more

Jonathan did an excellent job! We have sticky bug/rodent traps in our garage and a bird flew into the garage and was stuck. Jonathan jumped to action and asked if we had olive oil, he applied it to where the bird was stuck and it easily released and flew away! Thank you so very much Jonathan! We appreciate you, maybe not as much as the bird you saved though! :) read more

Fantastic job!!! Talked to us about what was going on and listened to our concerns. Explained what he was doing and what it would do. Outstanding customer service!!! Thank you. read more

Steven came out to our house in Stevensville MD on Dec 28th and was an excellent professional who took the time to thoroughly examine our concerns and provided on the spot solutions so that our issues were resolved once he left. He took the time to provide outstanding service to us and we are very satisfied with Phenom Pest Protection as a result. Excellent company that employs committed high quality experts! A+! Thank you! read more

Mailon came yesterday for our quarterly service and to treat the ants on the inside of the house. She was great showed up on time, very polite and friendly. Took the time to explain what she did and what we should expect. read more

Zamani is polite and personable. He answered all my questions respectfully and knowledgeably. The last time he was here for a mosquito treatment, I asked him to check on what I thought was an anthill. He checked it and treated it for me. Without my asking, he checked on the anthill again this time and treated it again because there was still some activity. I always appreciate when a tech remembers a concern and takes initiative to check on and resolve it if necessary. Job well done! read more

Solomon came out to treat the carpenter bees and bee holes that were in the top of our basement window seals. He also, gave me a call afterwards (since I wasn't at home) to update me on what he did and what we need to do to get rid of the carpenter bees. We really do appreciate his excellent customer service! read more

I complained about the service and requested certain techs. That did not happen. Some of the techs they sent to me had been fired for not working but the want more money. They even acknowledged that the work was not done but ask for more money.What am I paying for someone to visit my house. They are rude and aggressive basically unprofessional. Save your money! I like to give them a negative star rating.#scheme #badservice read more

Great Customer Service from the start.I have been a customer going on 2 years and they never . !!! Mailon was very personable.. Also whenever I call I they are always pleasant. It is hard to find in this world so I appreciate you guys. Thank you:) read more

The pest tech, Chandler arrived within the promised time frame, introduced himself, explained what he was going to do and patiently answered my additional questions. He is a super polite young man, and appears to be a hard worker. First impression from a prior Frontline customer - so far, so good! read more

Announced his arrival, performed the service, updated our mouse traps. Kept his social distance, while still being very personable. I appreciated his thorough job! read more

Excellent service, the tach arrived on time, followed my instructions and did a great job. We are glad we started the service.

They are fraudsters! They get you stuck in a contract and their products don't work. Stay as far as you can away from them! If there's zero star I would have given them that. I am sure they paid for the good reviews about them. read more

Prompt and thorough service. Reasonable prices and great follow up. I highly recommend them!

Phenom is fantastic. They call in advance to see if there are any additional services that you need and even if you don't let them know in advance they are ready to do whatever you need when they arrive. Our technician just showed up and asked if there was anything else he could do and I had forgot to call about hornets nests that were starting to form in the eaves of our house (40 ft off the ground). He didn't hesitate to take care of them. We have had great service and results form Phenom for the first year in our new house. read more

Poor service. Unresponsive. Did not get rid of carpenter bees. They know it takes more than one visit but don't come back without a call. And a delay. read more

The door to door salesman appeared at my door that was extremely pushy. You have to be aware of their selling tactic and their discount program for people who leave good reviews online for their services. I was quoted one price and then I was told all about how wonderful the company was and how happy people are and I should look at all the great reviews online. As I pushed back the price all the sudden dropped.. one of the discounts would be available if I posted good reviews about the company before I even got a service done. So if you're considering this company you should be very weary of any online review because people are bribed to post positive reviews. I would have potentially considered their services yet I cannot make an educated decision because the company itself admits that it bribes people to leave positive reviews. I personally don't support a company that has shady business practices like this. read more

5-star always Mik was wonderful and very personable ... but where is my Jeramae? Mik was very kind to our jabber mouth following him thru the entire house ... that speaks volumes. read more

Service was prompt and thorough. The technician, Tyler, was very polite and helpful with answers to questions and also very knowledgeable.

Shakeem was very polite and professional. He explained the process and everything that he was doing.

Don't waste your time and money with Phenom Pest Protection company. I hired them and got their service contract specifically to get rid of an ant problem I had in my home and it was a complete waste of almost $500!!! They were totally incompetent! During my year contract I called them several times to tell them the spray they put down didn't work and we are still seeing ants. They would come out and spray but that same evening I would see ants in the SAME area that they sprayed. This song and dance went on for a year-they were NEVER able to reduce or eliminate the ant problem. Save your $500 and go to Home Depot because they're a waste of time!!!! read more

Just received my quartedly treatment. Tech was very polite and hit all of the areas of concern. Was prompt and on time.

Noah was prompt, very communicative, and even offered to help me move my trash and recycling cans to the street. He took his time and hit every major area we had issues with and then some. Truly a great representative of the company! read more

My service tech Corey was personable, professional and enthusiastic. He covered all areas that were discussed and did a great job!

Jereme, did a good job. It was a pleasant surprise to see him joining company back. He was patient enough to spend some more time and spray few buses with spider mites issues. Also we noticed some ant issues outside which he tried to spray as well. Thanks for great service! read more

Miguel did a fantastic job. He asked if we had any spots of concerns, then he addressed them completely. He kept me informed and gave me advice on how to clear up these problem spots. He also explained everything he was doing. Highly recommend Phenom for the attention their technicians provide! Awesome job!! read more

Miguel Casey is very professional and displays attention to detail. This guy deserves a raise!

Update, after calling back to try and resolve the issue the sales representative did get back to me, reimbursed the fees, canceled the contract and apologized for the inconvenience. I do appreciate their effort for resolving the issue. read more

Rolando did an excellent job. Very careful applying the pesticide and completed a thorough job. He was friendly and informative.

The 2 technicians who came to my house were on time, worked efficiently and effectively. They were polite, wore their masks and booties. They were professional. read more

I emailed shortly before a scheduled visit and they were quick with a response of an issue I was having with tiny bugs. Isaiah came a day early which I had received a phone call prior from the company that they were available if my schedule fit there's. He came and observed the issue we were having and then explained what he was going to do to fix and prevent further issues. He sprayed inside and out with safe chemicals. Also everything else for normal maintenance etc that this company provides. Appreciate the great business and friendliness of the staff. I would recommend this company to anyone in need of pest maintenance. Thanks again and great job Isaiah. I also must add everyone that has came has been helpful and has done a great job. read more

Salesman was riding around the neighborhood trying to get people to sign up via lies. Told me they do more than my current company, Frontline, and that they would be cheaper. Come to find out they do no t do more and they are over $100 more in cost. For what they claim to do that is different, its a bold face lie. While they use a spray, frontline uses a powder. Honesty is the best option and when i tried to cancel my service they gave e the run around until i told them i will sue them and i had the entire conversation on my ring doorbell. Frontline is far better with far better customer service. Dont be fooled by the "We are local" lines. Local doesnt mean better. read more

They go above and beyond! read more
