Our dog has even chased it a few times late at night. It was our tree and hedge guy that found a burrow underneath our A/C unit. Of all the places why ours??? I did a little research and found CritterPro. They have good reviews so I sent them a message on their website and they called me within 15 minutes. I spoke to Edward and described the problem. He gave me a reasonable estimate and we set up a time for him to come up and set a trap. On the day, he called me about and hour early asking if he could swing by and I agreed. Edward was really nice. I showed him all the holes and the a/c unit. He stated that the A/C unit doesn't appear to have been used recently and offered to fill it in. As for the holes in our fence, we could block it with rocks or pavers to prevent them from slipping in again. If the critter comes back he said to give him a call. Let's see if he comes back. Well, it did. I called back and Edward came back out with a trap. He explained to me how the trap worked and how to free any other animals that may get caught in it by accident. The very next day the armadillo was caught, I called them, they took it away and refilled the whole it made. Two days later, another hole was created. Ugh, another one! This time Austin came out and reset the trap. He was so polite and answered any questions I had and tested the trap at least 3 times to make sure it worked. It took few days and even had to had to flip the trap around as we heard some squeaking from the hole, then we finally got'em! They came back out to pick up the trap and the picked up the little guy. Unfortunately that wasn't the last one, so we had another trap set up and caught a third one! We thought that there might be a fourth one but all we've caught so far is a possum. It's been pretty quiet so far. Hopefully that's the last of them. Thanks CritterPro for everything!

I unknowingly subject the inspection team to someone who refused to get dressed! The seller was in his underwear and flat out refused to get dressed. The seller wasn't even supposed to be in the house, he lived in a different state and drove in the night before the inspection. Even the sellers realtor was mortified! The inspection went on, we refused to reschedule- after all that- the seller disclosed more information about the house that left us no choice other than to back out of the contract. Funny enough, the same team ended up doing the inspection for the house we bought. My father-in-law met them at the house to review everything with them and they joked about the crazy Texan from the first house. The house we ended up buying had a bunch of minor problems that we are slowly addressing. The report they provided is my hit list to fix around the house. Per my report, electrical seemed to be the most pressing issue and we had an electrician give us a quote even before we owned the house. The detail that goes into a home inspection is incredible. Some things are easy fixes and others may require professionals to fix. I appreciate the thoroughness of the inspection. Dad appreciated the levity and joking about the previous situation. The report comes with pictures of any issues they noted, as well as an easy to follow summary with red triangle alerts for the most pressing items that need a professional to handle, a blue tool icon for things that a handyman could fix for us and a minus icon for projects that we could do ourselves and/or get a handyman for. As with any inspection- no one catches everything. We discovered a leak in the roof near the chimney after buying the house. All in all, I was pleased with the inspection and report.

Can't say enough good things about them. Highly recommended!…read more My parents have been happy and loyal Royal Palm Pest Control customers for years, so when I moved to the area a year ago and was looking for a pest control company, they suggested I give Royal Palm a ring. And I'm so glad I did, for 2 key reasons: 1.) IT WORKS: From a purely functional perspective, the treatment definitely helps keep pests at bay. For the first few weeks after we moved into the house, spiders, ants, and palmetto bugs were nearly everyday occurrences (as they tend to be in Florida). After Royal Palm treated, it felt like we had our house back. We pay for quarterly treatments, and while they offer free interim treatments if we notice an uptick in pests in the home, we've never had to avail ourselves of that offer. If we ever see an insect in the house, it's rare, and they've usually given up the ghost by the time we find them. 2.) CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SPECTACULAR: They always call US to schedule our quarterly treatments, which is a nice perk because I'd never remember. They're always friendly and professional. And our technician (Craig) is a super nice guy. Very efficient, always on time, AND he wears booties over his shoes when he comes into the house, which is such a nice touch. We like to maintain a "shoe-free" home to keep the floors clean, but we don't typically ask guests to remove their shoes because we don't want to make folks feel uncomfortable. So the fact that he wears paper booties over his shoes as a matter of course is just an incredibly thoughtful thing to do. Again, highly recommended!

This is the BEST Pest Control company my family and I have ever worked with to handle multiple concerns. From the customer service via phone starting with Mia to Darryl and the team in the field, they have ALWAYS been committed to a personal touch with my elderly Mom in a 60 plus year home. For the past 6 weeks, we have experienced excellent professional services that is rooted in integrity, consistency, timeliness, highly effective communication skills, care and concern for an older adult, high levels of expertise, resourcefulness and overall commitment to the extensive need to the job at hand. This team has also been extremely patient, accommodating, and patient. This pest issue has been extremely stressful for us trying to help care for our elderly mother. I would give this team a million stars for ALL that they have done for us thus far and will continue to do. Thank you for your knowledge of the issue and being very clear about the various plans of attack.

This was a wonderful experience with Ratchet roach pest control. We purchased our home about a year ago and started seeing German roaches in the kitchen. I called and spoke with Mia. She was attentive and professional on the phone and did a good job answering my questions. She set up an appointment same day for Darryl to come out and inspect my problem. Big shout to Darryl for his demeanor and friendliness. Very informative and seems to enjoy what he does. He inspected the issue and we agreed on the approach. He sprayed inside, out and behind every appliance. Put a "dust" behind the power outlets and applied a gel in my cabinets. We have not seen a roach since! Very pleased with the service I received. Will definitely use again. Ask Darryl about his clean eating lifestyle!! It's fascinating! read more
