I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to catch a mouse for about a month…read more Enuff!!!!!!! I put in a request for pest termination here on Yelp. I received several responses mostly marketing their multi-month plans for rodent services and I responded to all. Of all the companies, only one stood out and that was DOA Pest control. Brian was the name of the representative I spoke with. When I explained my frustratingly ineffective efforts, he responded to me "Well let me give you some helpful pointers then". That phrase alone eased so much anxiety for me. Brian proceeded to have a text exchange with me where he patiently listened to my concerns and offered me both pointers on what I was doing wrong and tips to go about it a bit differently. So I heeded his advice, reset the traps and within 36 hours of this exchange *BAM* I caught the mouse. Cue Cece Peniston - Finally it has happened to me!(more like it has happened to that mouse) I want to be clear, I didn't actually hire this company, but DOA and Brian were absolutely essential to this outcome. I'd like to also point out that Brian was this helpful at after 9:00pm at night to a person who hadn't paid his company a dime. I am truly grateful for his patience and helpfulness. Hopefully, I won't need to contract his company in the future. But if I do, I will bypass all the other companies that spent their time trying to sell me a package I didn't need. Instead, if I see a rodent in my home, I am going to give DOA Pest Control a call immediately. If you have a rodent problem, I would humbly encourage you to do the same.

This company put my dog and toddler at risk, claiming they are kid and pet friendly. Brian was…read moreirresponsible with the poison and caused permanent damage to my dogs health.

His price was much more reasonable than his competitors, and he came out the next day to get started on our wasp problem. Drake came out twice to spray the nest, and again to remove it. He was easy to talk to, really personable, and had no problem taking care of the nest, even though it was very high up on our roof. Our wasp problem is now a thing of the past! I'm hoping we won't have another, but if we do, Drake and his team will be the first and only business we call. We highly recommend them for all of your pest problems!

We called Blake out again to which he set more traps, identified entry points around the outside of the house, and sealed everything up. He was kind, polite, and very knowledgeable. He showed us what he was doing and why. I personally love when I learn the "why". After sealing up the house, he came back 2 weeks later to check on the traps and see how things were going. Their service comes with a solid warranty and any new critters we encounter, just give them a call and they'll come out to check, diagnose, and fix. It's not the cheapest to get your house sealed up, but worth it with the extra home visits and warranty. Highly recommend!

He…read moreresponded quickly, talking me through what I needed to do, and arranged to come out the next day--the Sunday before Thanksgiving nonetheless! When he arrived, he talked me through the entire procedure,his eco safe products, how they work, as well as his success rate with this type of infestation (which had been 100% for all of 2018 by that point), when all of his post spraying directions are followed for two weeks until he returned for a follow up. He was very patient and friendly though my mind was still in panic mode. I was able to text or message him anytime with questions (which I did once my mind was able to calm down and think more clearly). I actually emailed him an entire list of 10-12 questions that I thought of a couple days later; and he answered each one thoroughly to assuage my concerns. We easily texted to schedule the 2nd appointment exactly 2 weeks later, which was a much quicker follow-up spraying. Once again, he made sure to explain how the product works, etc., and answer all of my questions patiently. I would definitely recommend Peter & his team (though I hope I never have to use them again, lol!). Pros: ~Cost estimate was acceptable, and even lower than some other competitive estimates, especially for using an eco friendly product ~Friendly, patient, and attentive to all concerns ~Great explanations of product used and the steps to follow before & after treatments ~Called or texted an update when he was on his way Cons (and these are a stretch!): ~I'm in the far SW burbs, and it was the holiday season (traffic); both times he was running very late to the original appointment scheduled--but called/texted when he was on his way both times ~Was a bit slow to answer my email questions, but it was Thanksgiving weekend, so I found it totally acceptable

After a two week vacation, I returned to find carpenter ants all over my kitchen and a couple even in my bed. No Bueno. So after years of listening to my husband say he'd treat our house for Chicago's worst inhabitants: carpenter ants, I put my foot down and demanded a professional pest service. --Lucky for the door-to-door ProActive salesman who happened to catch me in the front yard the next day! ;) I never ever sign up for services at my doorstep, but he caught me feeling vulnerable due to a poor night's sleep, waiting for another ant to crawl on me. I signed up and had a technician just a few days later. I've been using them for nearly two years now and I never see spiders or ants in the interior or wasp nests on the exterior. They come 4 times a year and will come out immediately if I spot pests. Sometimes they spray inside but they always spray a barrier around the outside. Good thing because I don't share my bed with just anybody.
