"I recently had a disappointing experience with GreenPest management company. A sales representative pressured me into signing a one-year contract by stating that he needed to secure one customer that day. Feeling cornered, I agreed to the contract, trusting the sales guy professionalism. However, after the first service, I decided to cancel the service. I was shocked when I was informed that the cancellation fee would be $250, despite having been told initially that the service fee was $100. The customer service agent was rude and he got furious after he heard about cancellation and determined to get 250$ from me. The entire experience has left me feeling deceived and frustrated. I would caution others about the company shady practices and be wary of high-pressure sales tactics. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend GreenPest company and suggest seeking pest control services from a more transparent and customer-friendly provider."

"I used their service for two seasons, and received 7 treatments plus an Aearation & Overseeing at the end during each season. I must say that their formula works because after the first couple of treatments, my yard went from a dirt pile to sprouting full, very green grass. At the end of the two seasons, most of my yard came in, with the exception of a few bald spots near the garden. I gave them a C for price, because they are on the higher side when compared to other services-particularly the aeration service. I do like that their customer guarantee provides that they will come back out and repeat your last treatment if you aren't satisfied or aren't seeing results, and I've only had to do that twice in two seasons. Unfortunately, if you aren't home to catch the service tech who is treating your lawn, it's almost impossible to get anyone on the phone directly from the office. Calls always go through a central customer service line, and I've never spoken to my service tech, even after leaving a message or two. Which is why I gave them a C on responsiveness."

A standard pest inspection takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete. The inspector needs time to examine your home's interior spaces, crawl spaces, basement, attic, and exterior perimeter. For larger properties or homes with limited accessibility to certain areas, the inspection might require additional time. Having areas cleared and accessible before the inspector arrives can help ensure a thorough and efficient evaluation.
Payment responsibility varies by region and real estate market conditions. The buyer covers pest inspection costs in many transactions to protect their investment and satisfy lender requirements. However, in competitive markets, sellers might offer to pay for inspections to make their property more attractive. The final arrangement is specified in the purchase agreement, so review this document carefully and discuss options with your real estate agent.
To prepare for a comprehensive inspection, make sure the inspector can access all areas of your home. This includes noting any signs of pests you've observed, removing obstacles blocking access to attics, basements, crawl spaces, and plumbing areas, and keeping children and pets away from inspected areas. Clear away clutter from perimeter walls and ensure the inspector can easily access your home's foundation, both inside and outside.
While related, these inspections serve different purposes. A general pest inspection examines your property for evidence of various pests, including rodents, insects, and other unwanted creatures. A termite inspection specifically focuses on wood-destroying organisms like termites and carpenter ants. Some inspections, like the Wood-Destroying Organisms (WDO) inspection, specifically target termites and similar pests. If termites are a particular concern in your area, you should request the cost of a termite inspection rather than a general pest assessment.
