I reached out to Dan's Pest Management Inc. for pest control service for three units I manage in…read moreBakersfield. At first, everything seemed professional. They responded, showed up, and provided a quote. However, the experience changed once I started asking questions about the one-year service agreement and billing. Before signing any contract, especially one that locks me into service for a full year, I believe it is reasonable to ask clear questions about the billing cycle, payment dates, and whether anything would be prorated. I asked a simple question: if I signed and paid on 5/11, would my billing cycle start from that date, or would I still be billed on their regular cycle and lose part of the service period? I was not asking to avoid payment or get a discount. I simply wanted to understand what I was agreeing to before signing. Unfortunately, Rachel in billing did not seem clear on the answer, even though I had already discussed some of the details with Dan. That made me uncomfortable because billing and contract terms should be clearly understood by the company before asking a customer to commit for a full year. Instead of calmly answering the question, the tone changed and it felt like they became frustrated that I was asking about the contract at all. As a landlord who does not live in the Bakersfield area, I have to be extra careful about who I hire to service my property. I need to make sure the property is being properly maintained, the billing is clear, and the agreement is fair before I sign anything. Asking questions about a contract should not create tension or attitude from a company. I was genuinely interested in starting service, but this experience made me feel uncomfortable and hesitant. A customer should be able to ask basic contract and billing questions without feeling like they are being a problem. To me, that is not good business, especially when the customer is being asked to commit to a one-year agreement.

I was new in the area, and when the weather got warm, I suddenly had roaches. Horrified, I had called Stafford's first, and they said the earliest they could come would be a month out. Omg, that was so awful to hear, it was kind of offensive. I said nevermind. I've been using IWV Pest Control for a good year now. Not only is Brad accommodating, his service also costs less than a big company. One time I found a huge spider in my shower and I texted him to come get it lol, and he did! He's the best. Talk about supporting a small business-- it doesn't get any smaller or more worthy of praise.
