"We ordered two propane stoves and were going to have them install them. But after getting a general note about going out of business got nothing in specific on our deposits or service we were expecting. I responded to this general email and got a response from Kyle saying get off my high horse and be patient. His wife Heidi did provide one of the stoves but we never got the other one. We are out the deposit of $1700 with no alternative to get a stove or get my money back on the deposit. As far as I am concerned they stole that money and are crooks. This guy Kyle was full of himself giving me a lecture via email about his high moral ethics in business and how he was a man of honor and good character. As as far as I am concerned he is full of s*** and now Sin Cal is permanently closed with no recourse to get my money back. I have hired a lawyer and will pursue legal means to get restitution or at the very least cost them money. This guy has other businesses and if you see him associated with any contractor or contracting businesses pull clear this guy is a crook."

JP Pest Services has been providing pest management solutions for New England homes and businesses since 1925. We’ve learned a lot about our Northeast customer base over the past 9 decades like what they expect from the effectiveness of our services to what they need from our Customer Service Representatives and Service Professionals in the field.
"Joel their sales rep assured us our apartments would be rotated so the inside of each unit was checked at least every six months. Got the bait and switch bc they never did this and we had a cockroach infestation that went on for a year. They lied to me and then their manager claimed “we don’t see it in the contract”. I want a refund. You’ve been doing nothing productive. I can lay my own ant traps for less than $2k a year."

Yes, hiring a pest control pro is a worthwhile investment. A licensed exterminator has the tools, training, and products to effectively eliminate pests and prevent them from returning. While DIY sprays may offer short-term relief, a professional can spot hidden nests, tailor treatments to the exact pest, and help you avoid costly repairs down the road. That combination of speed, precision, and prevention makes the service worth the fee for most homeowners.
Pests that reproduce quickly—think roaches, fleas, ticks, ants, termites, and some spiders—often need routine service. After the initial knock-down visit, your pro may recommend monthly or quarterly follow-ups to keep eggs from hatching and colonies from rebuilding. Ask your technician for a schedule that fits your home and local pest pressure.
Many professional products are pet-safe once they dry, but some formulas and baits can be harmful if a curious cat or dog makes contact too soon. Please inform your technician about the pets you have so they can select the appropriate treatment, set up necessary barricades, and provide you with clear re-entry times. Always follow their post-treatment instructions to keep four-legged family members safe.
Start by cutting off food, water, and easy entry. Keep dry goods in sealed bins, wipe up crumbs fast, and declutter storage areas where bugs love to hide. Outside, repair torn screens, seal gaps around pipes, and trim back vegetation that brushes the house. A quick monthly walk-around to spot new cracks or leaks goes a long way toward keeping pests out for good.
Service frequency hinges on the pest and your location. One-off jobs—like removing a wasp nest—often need just a single visit. Ongoing nuisances such as ants or rodents may call for quarterly or even monthly check-ins. Ask your pro to recommend a cadence that matches local pest cycles and the age of your home, so small issues don’t mushroom into costly fixes later.
