"June of 2013 I bought a 1926 home that had been inhabited by an elderly person who wasn't able to do much maintenance or cleaning allowing the silverfish and spider populations to thrive. During the renovation prior to moving in I was killing about 5-7 spiders a night including one I thought was a brown recluse. I was a wreck after that and too scared to move in. I called Diam in a panic and they sent out Jason the next day.
Jason did an excellent job of inspecting my property inside and out and explaining the habits of brown recluses and their distinct web style. He did notice a lot of cellar spiders but assured me that he didn't see any brown recluse webs. He put down traps in likely spider traffic areas and said he would come back in 30 days to inspect the traps to see which types of spiders were present just to make sure. He sprayed quite liberally around my exterior foundation and all around the house and walk in attic area and told me to call them before the 30 days if I was still having problems and advised that I download their free Diam Pest app on my smart phone so I could send them pictures of any weird spiders or other pests. I felt so much better after his visit that I was able to move in.
He came back 30 days later to do a follow up spray and trap check. Traps contained a couple varieties of cellar spiders but no brown recluses. I also noticed a signifcant reduction of spiders. After the 1 month followup spray there were none. This exceeded my expectations as all the research I did online in old house forums said that spiders were difficult to control. I was so pleased I decided to go on a quarterly contract. Since then I have had two maintenance treatments at $89 a pop and I haven't seen a spider in the house in months. Worth every penny!
I really appreciate that they send reminders and follow up calls to confirm the quarterly maintenance appointment. I also like that they send the same representative to my house each time.
