"I WAS a paying customer of Taylor Pest Control and maintained a contract for pest services. The technician that serviced my property was the ONLY reason I stayed as long as I did with this company. I am no longer a customer because of the following: Office staff is incompetent, lies and has failed to respond to service requests. Brad Taylor whom I was told was the owner, would rather cover for them instead of provide the services that I paid for. My initial issue was that I signed a contract and it was subsequently lost by office staff and I did not receive service for months until I inquired about why my property has not been sprayed in about six months. Second, after never having a pest issue since purchasing this property in 2018, I had an ant infestation this past Friday and called to request service since I had a contract with them. I left a message at 9am after no one answered the business phone. I called back multiple times throughout the morning because with Easter being on Sunday and family coming to visit, I did not want to spend the holiday with ants crawling all around the house and guests. Finally, later in the day, I get a call from Taylor Pest and was advised that they were closed "since it was a Federal holiday" I was perplexed as I knew this was not true, and advised the caller of such. The story then changed and was then advised that the reason now was because they are a small company and like to treat their staff well. I guess Brad thinks it is more important to give a three day weekend for your employees than to provide services for your customers? I guess you rather your customers jump through phone prompts and leave messages rather than just advising that the business decided to close on a normal workday without notice. Anyway, after getting the runaround from them and the caller not being able to advise whether someone could come out or if I would be charged an additional fee "for emergency service", I decided to go out myself and purchase supplies to get rid of the ants. Yesterday (Monday) morning, I again called about the issue and was advised that Brad would contact me to schedule service. I did not hear him. Today, I called and after again explaining my issues with the office staff, I was eventually left a voicemail advising that I would not receive service until Thursday (a week later) which I felt was ridiculous given the circumstances. I called the office and the phone was answered by the owner (Brad Taylor) who after hearing that being a current and up to date customer with a service contract, I was not satisfied with the timeframe of waiting a week for emergency service. He decided that a contract doesn't matter and said they were no longer going to provide the service that I paid for and to look elsewhere for my pest control needs. Brad Taylor tried to state his reasoning was because of the way I treated his staff; however, if calmly providing feedback to the office staff of a company about their shortfalls and how a company that values their customer should have handled the situation is "wrong" then I don't want to continue service with this company and you probably don't want to be served by them either. I would like to add that I had not talked to the office staff between the time Brad left a voicemail advising that I was on the schedule for Thursday and my calling him to let him know my concern about the wait. So, his rational about the reason for terminating service was a lie. Now I know his office staff get their values."

"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."

Home-applied pest treatments can address small to moderate problems, particularly when properly applied according to the manufacturer's directions. These consumer products contain lower concentrations of active ingredients than professional formulations and may lack the precision application methods professionals employ. While DIY approaches work well for contained issues and preventative maintenance, extensive infestations involving termites, bed bugs, or widespread cockroach problems often require professional intervention for complete resolution.
Most bug bombs protect your home for one to three months, depending on the specific formulation and environmental conditions. Environmental factors, including sunshine exposure, rainfall, and regular cleaning activities, can significantly reduce effectiveness over time. Most liquid applications require refreshing every four to eight weeks, while solid bait stations may remain active somewhat longer. Regular monitoring lets you determine when reapplication is necessary based on your specific situation.
Carefully review all product documentation before beginning the application. Protect yourself with appropriate clothing, including gloves, long-sleeved shirts, pants, and eye protection throughout the process. Keep children and pets away from treated areas for the duration specified on product labels. When using aerosol foggers, evacuate the treatment area immediately after activation and thoroughly ventilate spaces before re-entry. Always store unused product in original packaging in secure areas inaccessible to children and pets.
