my husband and I insisted them for our pest control , we were told that after 30 days they would do a call back for free .. we'll don't believe them because they charged us again .. We are now forced to cancel all withdraws from my account ! you can never talk to anyone local , you have to go through a call service ! For what they charge you can do it yourself for a lot less money ! At this point there's nothing they can do for me to allow them to withdraw money at free will .. To me that smacks of theft ..

cannot say enough about Pointe Pest Control. They eliminated our carpenter ants and were very prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. I had the same local exterminator for over 10 years who had told me for the last 5 years that the ants I was seeing were not carpenter and they cannot get rid of all ants. Low and behold I ended up with 3 mature nests on the property with scout ants, and 2 nest inside the walls of the house. Two treatments from Pointe and carpenter ants are gone! Highly recommend! read more

Pointe Pest Control kept pushing a 12 month contract when I asked for a written estimate and again when I asked for a receipt upon completion of work when I gave a check. I was given a contract to sign instead. My Account still doesn't show a zero balance several business days later and customer service twice failed to document that I don't want a contract within the three business day cancellation period. These strongarm methods have apparently been used with others who have posted. read more

Had bed bugs in 1 couch in the basement. After getting a free quote (from Matt and a guy that also kinda looked like Matt), they suggested that our entire house was infested with bed bugs, and that they would need to treat the entire house, costing $2800. Although the free quote was appreciated, it is an absolute sham to suggest that unless we got the entire house treated, our bed bug problem wouldn't be resolved. An $8 can of spray and an $8 pack of traps did the trick. Thanks for stopping by Pointe! read more

Sebastian came right on schedule and got right to work. He identified the pest (Yellowjackets). The nest was behind our exterior door frame so he couldn't remove it but sprayed dust in it thoroughly. I let him know where I found another nest (the hard way) and he removed that one too. He surveyed our property for any other nests and let us know when he was done. Sebastian is very knowledgeable, well spoken and thorough. He talked my wife and me through the whole process and what to look for going forward. He also gave us advice regarding the nest behind the door frame. I couldn't be happier regarding the service we received from the initial phone contact to the actual service. Sebastian did a great job. read more

These guys are con artists. I called and got a price and said I needed to check with my fiancé and just to call back and anyone who answered would be able to see the digital record of what we had discussed. I called back - no record of our call. Apparently the guy I had spoken with was an outsourced sales person. So price went up - again said I needed to speak with my fiancé. Same story about discussion being recorded and that this lady was an inside sales rep. Sure enough the price went up again when I called back. I agreed to the higher price. This was in December for mice. Some young lazy guy came to our house. He literally put 5 traps down and told me that most of the holes they were coming in were too big for him to do anything about. Then he put brillo pads, literally, in a few small areas that he thought could be passage ways. The poison boxes are made so that you cannot open them yourself (because they are selling you a subscription "service" and they will supposedly refill their poison at the next service visit); so, I asked the young lazy guy when the next service would be to change the poison; he said, "probably two weeks". Well two weeks came and went then we got married in the second week of Jan, honeymoon etc; and not one contact from the company. Mice were rampant and I couldn't change the poison - they day before my wedding I threw out all of the poison holders since I was having 20 people to my house to get ready for my wedding. Only in the last couple of days have I heard from the company, requesting a payment. WTF! I am seriously considering reporting to the BBB. Do not use this company under any circumstance. read more

Their technicians are always very professional and courteous. They explain what they are doing and show up when they say they will.

Don't waste your time! I scheduled an appointment well in advance and no one had the professional courtesy to call and advise of the scheduling conflict. I wasted an entire day waiting for them to fulfill my service call. When I called customer service I spoke to a poorly versed representative and the supervisor that took over offered no resolve either. I 100% lost my temper because their attitude was so nonchalant about the error THEY WERE AWARE OF!!! The amount of idiocy in an 8 minute call was unreal!! read more

I contracted Pointe Pest Control for the removal of a hornet nest on the side of my two-story house, at the eaves. The technician was professional , attentive, and friendly, but he did not have the tools he needed to do the job. He came the first day without any ladder, although I had indicated to Pointe that the nest was high on second floor. He came back the next day with a 6 foot ladder which was not adequate to fully remove the nest. He said that Pointe did not have a ladder of the proper size to give him. He was able to spray the nest on day one and knock down the central part on day two, but nest debris still remains attached to the house. The agreement with Pointe says that they will clean up all remnants of the work they do. There is still nest debris attached to the house and nest and hornet debris on the roof over the porch, below where the nest was attached to the house.. This roof debris is now blowing down onto the walkway and patio. I will not use this service again. read more

We couldn't be more pleased with Pointe Pest Control and their technician Chandler Burden. Outstanding service. Professional and courteous. Highly recommended. read more

Door to door scam artists, playing off your fear, that you have bugs, lots of bugs, and only they can save you from the massive bug invasion soon to destroy your home and property. Pushy salesman tried telling me my neighbor had a terrible pest problem at his home, and it was just a matter of time, before all his pests would move to my home to live. Suggested I be proactive and lay down a bug barrier. Sooner, being so much better, than later. Afterall, your home is your biggest investment, and it's worth protecting. When asked what type of monsterous bug problem my neighbor actually had, he couldn't tell me. Couldn't share with me what neighbor had this problem either. But he was certain, all those evil bugs in the neighbourhood would soon be taking up residence at my home if I don't act soon. There is no bug epidemic in the neighborhood. But the sales chump tried his best to put the fear of what's going to happen tomorrow, if I didn't act today. Avoid this company. I cannot stand any salesperson who pedals fear in the effort to make a sale. Advice...the first NO will not work, be prepared. Saying NO to the knucklehead I spoke with started becoming quite entertaining for me after a while. It was fun watching him squirm like a bug. read more

This is a scam. The "services" they provide are virtually nothing - involve a guy going around the outside of your house and spraying stuff you can buy at Home Depot - and they will make excuses to differentiate the different types of insects they will treat for. They try to lock you into a contract and hem you in with early termination penalties, automatic renewals, etc. hoping you forget about them. They use very pushy salesmen who will try to squeeze any dollar they can out of you. I got ripped off, but you don't have to. DO NOT SIGN UP. read more

BEWARE: I just had a Pointe salesman come by and tell me that all of my neighbors are reporting carpenter ant issues. And that since they are servicing my neighbors' homes, they can service mine for a reduced rate. He offers to do a free inspection, to which I agreed. We were standing outside, but oddly, he asked me if I could meet him around by the back door. I didn't think of anything of it and needed to put some shoes on. I didn't meet him by the back door, but he was able to pull off his scam. I walked up to him and he has a glass vile tube, and says, "OMG, I just caught the biggest carpenter ant I have seen so far in your area." I asked him where he found it and he randomly points to the outdoor wall of my sunroom. I told him I have never seen an ant that size on my property and he tells me if there is one there are many more. It was at this point that I realized I was being scammed. He is likely carrying around this large ant in the glass vile and then reports to the homeowner that he found this huge ant during his free inspection. Of course he offered me a very cheap rate, but I politely refused and that was that. I asked him if he had a business card and he said no, which I also thought was odd. He told me they could only do the service today and yet had no business information for me. I knew it was a scam so I told him no thanks. BEWARE if a Pointe Pest Control person comes knocking at your door. read more

First - we never got far enough to have them service my home. On the phone their sales rep informed me of their rates and that they could come out the next day; there was no mention of a contract or early termination fee. I had already called two competitors who were not requiring an early termination fee. When the service technician arrived he pointed out that there will be a $150 early termination fee if "for any reason" we cancel. I called and spoke with Prince at Pointe Pest Control who told me that they don't enforce that in the event of foreclosure or move out of the service area. With this clarification I was comfortable signing the contract so long as I wrote in "with the exception of foreclosure or move out of service area". Because I altered the contract to be reflective of our phone conversation they refused to treat my home. This is not the kind of company I will choose to conduct business with. Their service technician was friendly and seemed knowledgeable but when it comes to contracts companies need to be forthcoming and clear. read more

I have a Parrot & sometimes the food has moths in it & next thing you know they were flying everywhere! I called Pointe Pest Control & they came out and I haven't seen any bugs since. They are coming back next month for a follow up, lets see how that goes. read more

We just signed up this summer for their mosquito program - and so far its been great. Its even been raining a ton and when I called them to come back for a second helping this month, they happily obliged. No customer service issues/complaints or push back at all. I'm a happy customer who can now enjoy her backyard and patio! Honestly, some of these reviews below are silly. If you don't want to buy the service from someone ringing your doorbell, then don't buy it. we've used Pointe Pest Control twice. Once when they did ring our doorbell... and they came quarterly to spray and take care of things. They didn't complain when we called them out in between services each quarter and to handle the massive hornets nest we had (which was included as part of the contract). Their service helped reduce the bugs we were seeing in our last home and overall, we had no problems with them at all! read more

So the doorbell rings, I get up from what I am doing and it's this guy with a Pointe Pest Control badge telling me a neighbor on the other block has a problem with ants or something and he is required to let me know. Despite my having a No Solicitors sign at my door which the village requires peddlers to respect. Police called. Now, is there any service to control these pests who illegally ring your doorbell? Obviously this is an outfit to stay away from. read more

Have been working with Pointe Pest for years. The technicians are always respectful and helpful. If you call for anything in-between services they get someone out to you right away! read more

Ever since I've started using Pointe I've had no issues with any type of insect or pest. They are very professional and great at what they do. Great service.. I would highly recommend this company. read more

Ryan P. did a great job as always. I specifically ask for him because he is so thorough.

Terrible! Complete and utter scam. They cancelled several times. They never got rid of our bee and wasp issue. It was a nightmare cancelling and you are charged 150 to cancel. THEN they came and sprayed and charged us for that! I am waiting for my money to be refunded for the 109 they charged us for the service after we cancelled as I type. STAY AWAY!!! Call anyone local for services like this, you can hold them accountable and they won't rip you off! read more

I have a new bug man and his name is David. He was so easy to talk to and when I asked him if he can do the outside and inside his comment was anything you need I can do.. Very nice individual and I told him what needed to be done and what insects I was having a problem with and he took care of them all. It is so great to have a wonderful man to keep doing my house !!!! Keep hiring people like David and you will continue to have my business. After David left I felt like a new friend was added into my life and I also felt safe from the bugs after he left...Take care David and Thank you for a wonderful job. read more

I've been using Pointe Pest Control for several years now and am happy with their service. They are always very thorough and if you have a problem in between visits they will come and take care of it. And I also appreciate that it is usually the same technician coming back so he knows what the issues are. read more

I was told they would have someone out to my mothers house between 11am and 1PM. I took a day off of work and received a call at 12noon that they couldn't come and would need to reschedule. Since my Mother has Alzheimer's its very hard to get he out so I could have someone come in for such appointments. I was shocked that after making all these arrangements and taking a day off work they would do this to anyone as I TOLD THEM I WAS DOING THIS!!! read more

We're extremely happy with our service from Pointe - they have done an incredible job with our pest control. Our last visit - Fernundo was helpful and nice. My wife and I are happy that we signed up with them! Bob and Lisa H Glen Ellyn, IL read more

We have been using Pointe Pest Control for over a year - they are very responsible and the stuff they put down WORKS! Great company and employees! read more

I'm in disbelief by all of these negative reviews. Pointe pest has not only cleared up my ant problem in the back yard but also my mouse problem in the house. I think the other reviewers either had unrealistic expectations or weren't utilizing the company to their full potential. If you treat people with respect, you're given respect, and Pointe has never been anything but respectful and helpful. read more

Do not use Pointe Pest Control in Elmhurst IL. Our neighbor referred them to us. They are frauds. They told my husband they will make 2 visits to our home for one price. They have you sign a receipt of service without your knowledge your agreeing to a year service with additional costs. I called them about their fraud they were very rude and were going to charge me an additional $100 to get out of the contract. They scammed two of my neighbors who are stuck with this contract now. Their manager Samantha told me they will void our contract and hung up on me. Spread the word Elmhurst. Stop these thieves. read more

Kellin came out and was very professional. Highly recommend him and this company. Great doing business with you

As a small business owner myself, I have never left a negative review before, but truly this is warranted. They DO NOT explain their program and keep charging you an exorbitant amount. I asked for a person to come out and look for mice- he found no evidence of any and said he would come back as part of the money I ALREADY paid. He came back and charged me $150 claiming I signed a one year contract. When I called to complain, I was told to cancel this so called contract would be another $150! Do not give this company a credit card number and do not sue them! I paid $450 for literally nothing. read more

Great service and professionalism, we really enjoyed working with Eddie. Highly recommend Pointe Pest Control.

A rep named jarred came to our home soliciting business and extremely pushy. Their flyer indeed says they are BBB accredited and I read in a previous review they lost their Better Business Bureau accreditation... So I don't know the story there? But his mannerism in trying to get us to sign was boarder-line bullying. I called a few of my neighbor -friends to give them a heads up since they were going door to door. And indeed they tried the same tactics with them. I can absolutely appreciate a business trying to drum up customers. But these steamrolling attempts will do the exact opposite. If this is how they act to get my business, I can only imagine how they would act if I signed a contract, that include cancellation fees, where I no longer have the upper hand as a consumer. Oh wait... Sure I can imagine that. Would probably go something like all the other reviews before me! Lol No thanks! read more

We did sign up for a contract. After a year of trying to treat our ant problem with stuff from Home Depot I called uncle. NOTHING was working in the long term. Pointe helped us finally rid the house of bugs. It took a couple of times, but it was due to ants finding different entry points! Benefit of a contract... anytime you have an issue you call them and they come out at no extra cost! Solved any issue, spider issue (OMG HUGE), and a mouse that was trying to vacation in our home for the winter. Our guy is the nicest guy and really works with you to solve any bug issue! read more

I never had them service my house. It didn't get that far. I was to have them come over for the initial service but they didn't show up during the window I was given. Two times in a row. Maybe I'm being harsh. On the other hand, they could have called to keep me abreast of developments. Instead I was left to wonder: "when will they get here?" read more

SCAM SCAM SCAM !!! Please don't fall victim to theses scam artist !!! We agreed to service of 4 times to come out and get rid of mice. The problem is INSIDE!!! They would "send someone out" when nobody was home and service the outside of my house. I was charged 450$ to come look at the outside of my house and in order to cancel I have two choices pay 150$ to cancel or pay 110 to have someone walk around my house . Can someone explain the logic on house that gets rid of mice . This is not good business!!!!! Oh yes and my I add that my backyard Is locked so basically they charged me 450 to pull up in front of my house and leave a bill !!! read more

This co.is horrible,first they lead me to believe they were in Orland pk.told me a tech.would call me an set an appointment . No one called,I had to make 4 more phone calls,spoke to a guy named Angel only to tell me they don't service my area!!! I have new tenants with a 5 month old baby which I told them from beginning . The previous tenants took their cats but left the fleas....first they said 325.00 to get rid of fleas ,then said they don't service the area,this was the manager I spoke with. I called Orkin they will be out tomorrow morning.... I would NEVER recommend this company read more

I had exactly the same experience as Neal below. Incredibly misleading guy showed up on the porch (in spite of "no soliciting" sign of course). He misrepresents himself as someone from Pointe (no mention of pest control) - and says he is working with someone in the street behind us (no mention of the street name - probably because he didn't know it), and informing neighbors about their work in case we haven't already heard. Was he a builder? An architect? Was his work going to be affecting me in some way that I wasn't aware of? He is basically misrepresenting himself in order to get his foot in the door - which he LITERALLY tried to do. He didn't even move his foot as I realized my error in engaging him in conversation, and started to close the door. He was still talking at me as I said no thanks, finished shutting the door and walked away. Incredibly aggressive in his misleading sales pitch which seems to be his MO - I am going to tell all my neighbors not to work with these guys. read more

We have used Pointe for the past 4 years. Started using them due to an Ant & Spiders problem. They had a nice team of people who quickly eliminated the issue. We have a cat and they were very careful when spraying indoors. I've found them to be extremely professional (Marco), courteous and honest in their business dealings. I'm a little mystified about the comments about "being a Scam" but everyone has the right to their opinion. I would definitely recommend their services. read more

Jesse Contreras has been treating our home for years. He is friendly, very professional and good at what he does! Thanks as always!

I have used this company for eleven years and have never been disappointed in their service. Between scheduled visits if I have a problem they show up promptly at no extra charge. read more
