We had a stressful raccoon situation with a mother and baby nesting inside an old electrical box…read morethrough a hole in the exterior of our house. The baby was trapped in the wall shared with our bedroom, and we could hear both the baby and mom at different times. It was very nerve wracking. The mom would come and go, and at one point seemed to leave the baby alone for a day or two. We even hired a general contractor to open the wall to try to find the baby, but we could not locate it. Meanwhile, the raccoon started tearing up parts of the exterior, including a vent. We called several pest control companies, but they all suggested trapping the raccoon which did not help since the baby was still inside the wall. We eventually contacted Wildlife Support, who recommended Tony, and I am so glad they did. Tony responded quickly, came out to assess the situation, and created a thoughtful game plan with us. The next day he returned with a thermal camera to locate the baby and set up a one way trap to safely remove both mom and baby. When the mom figured out how to open the trap and kept going back in, Tony quickly pivoted and came up with another plan. He returned the following day with a smaller trap and a makeshift blocker so we could close the hole immediately once the mom left. Tony was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly cared about the animals. His priority was getting them out safely without harming them. He was also friendly, professional, and genuinely concerned for our safety, reminding us to stay away when the raccoon returned and checking in on us often. Not only did he successfully resolve the raccoon situation, he got them out safely and we did not have to open the walls again. He also secured the electrical box opening and sealed other vulnerable areas around our house using quality materials. At no point did we feel upsold or pressured. He truly put us first. There is no one else I would rather call for rodent or wildlife issues. Tony has both Wildlife Support's recommendation and my full stamp of approval.

We hired another outfit over a year ago, they were nice but didn't solve the problem - mice kept coming. They literally stopped showing up to follow up appointments (even though we paid for a 2-year warranty). A friend (with a similar problem, first hired another company that failed to do the job) recommended Tony. He is so creative and thoughtful. He is a carpenter by trade so comes up with things that work in old houses with weird gaps and holes everywhere (like ours). He just installed a very discrete blockade around the fridge, to block the main (remaining) exit and entrance of our resident Mickey . Stainless steel so it can handle the moisture from the fridge. Hopefully this does it. Thank you Tony!

He took the time to walk me through each step, answered all of my questions, and made sure I understood what needed to be done to address the issue. His professionalism, patience, and knowledge gave me confidence that I was in good hands. I truly appreciate his excellent customer service and would highly recommend Mr. Marco and Alert Pest Control to anyone dealing with pest problems. Humans do tend to invite rodents into buildings and then act surprised when tiny freeloaders move in, but fortunately there are people like Mr. Marco who know how to handle it.

The response was unexpectedly aggressive and escalated very quickly. I was spoken to in a disrespectful manner and profanity was used during the interaction. While I understand businesses may have concerns about parking, I believe customers and members of the public should be treated professionally and respectfully. Based on this experience alone, I was disappointed by how the situation was handled.

If we were home, he'd do a great job, but there were times that we weren't home and we noticed a definite change in the quality of that visit - - - ie, de-webbing was only around doorways and not done along the walls, corners or outdoor grill/furniture. Also, the scheduler started to get a little passive-aggressive if the day she suggested didn't work for us. Too bad because we'd been happy with them for many years, but I don't need to babysit during the appointment in order to get the service we pay for, and I also don't need to feel like it's my fault that my schedule doesn't fit with the first appointment day/time that the scheduler offers.

I quickly lost my ownership to these house mates, despite of my furious attempts with indoor spray, traps, and outdoor sprays.... I found clear skies on yelp.

It is a small business and the owner Eric is out on projects during the day. They will respond to emails. Eric showed up pretty on time. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I learned something about my housemates. It was good learning. He finished his project during the time we agreed on. My housemate slowly moved out. Given where I live, I still get occasional visitors once in a while. At some point, I got concerned and Eric does cover post service warranty time period. Gradually, the new visitors will disappear.

Stay away, their business is like legal highway robbery…read more I ordered a house and pest inspection. Basically $1000 for 10 minutes of "work". Pest inspection: looked at one door for 10 seconds, then said nope no termites here...that cost me $450. Oh you want to drill for mold/fungus? That'll be an extra $250. You want us to go on the roof? Go in the attic? That will be an extra $250. You want us to move that stuff to look what's behind? That's an extra $250. Charges you an arm and leg for everything. The cost of the inspection alone could (and did) have fixed 80% of the issues they found. For the areas they "inspected" they overlooked a lot of stuff and did a rudimentary job in 10 minutes. When I arrived they were already done and I made them go over the whole house again with me there and found numerous other issues they missed the first time. Imagine if I hadn't showed up at all and only had my real estate agent go with them? Not only that but the report is basically a generic report they copy and paste and use over and over and slightly customize it for your house adding in a few sentences here and there and they paste 1x1" photos they took which are so small that they are useless (at least include larger photos). I am sure I could have asked for the full sized photos but at this point it wasn't worth it. I bet it took them less than 2 hours to produce that report. This is not my first rodeo. I have read many home inspection reports and have had it done by another company previously. Arnest Inspections report was the least comprehensive report I have ever read. They gave me a quote of $2000 to fix a backdoor..lol you think it costs $2000 to replace a door? And not even the front door.. I wasn't born yesterday. Total rip off. STAY AWAY.
