If you have bed bugs I highly, highly recommend Reliant Pest Control. In my opinion 5 stars is not enough. So, this review is way overdue and i feel crappy for taking too long to finally post a review. Also, my sincere apologies for the long review. But I would hate to see someone else go through this type of issue and feel helpless the way I felt, before I came across Reliant Pest Control. I had a relative living with me, who allowed a friend from school sleep over during a long holiday weekend. A few weeks later we learned the person's home was infested. Well, guess what happened after the sleepover?! Yup. I pride myself on researching everything from price, to customer service, type of chemicals used, chemical effects etc. I called a long list of Exterminators and all of them seemed like hustlers. I understand there is a cost for this but I would rather move than pay the ridiculous estimates I had been receiving. I did not need anyone to bring bed bug sniffing dogs or heat my home to a thousand degrees, using a heater machine extended from a truck outside all the way up to my window? And it should not cost $5,000 to exterminate bed bugs for 1 apartment and then another $2000 for the second visit. Nearly everyone I called either tried to hustle me for money or they tried to use extreme scare tactics, in order to convince me to hire them. I was beginning to think all Exterminators are hustlers. Respectfully, don't bother sprinkling the white powdery pest poison/weed killer chemical from home depot. I've tried it. It does not work. So there.
But then I finally came across Bill on Thumbtack.com and trust me, he will be the first one I will call if I ever need an Exterminator again. His service is top notch! He will walk/talk you through the service before he provides it. He also answered all of my numerous questions with no problem. He returns calls and texts in a timely manner. Bill takes his craft very seriously and is patient and polite. He knows any and everything about bugs. You can tell he must have been one of those kids who was fascinated by creepy crawly things back in the day, lol.
Bill also shows compassion for kids in this situation and went above and beyond to make sure my kid's room received the royal treatment. As for the rest of my home; let's just say he left no stone un-turned. Not sure why my carpet looked completely steam cleaned brand new when I arrived home? My point is not only did he eradicate those disgusting bugs and their eggs (the bugs never returned) but he actually vacuumed, swept etc. very thoroughly after the job was finished. He understands confidentiality too, since his truck outside did not have a picture of a huge bed bug painted across it. I even contacted him days after he finished the final service and he continued to make himself available to speak with me. Of course the exterminator service is important but customer service is also paramount. Reliant Pest Control is excellent at both. Feel free to not be bothered with calling others, since I've done most of the research for you read more
