"The inspector showed up on time and explained what he was going to be looking at. Then proceeded to preform a thorough inspection of every square foot of the house. He informed me of a few issues I was unaware of, and gave me recommendations on how to repair them. A quality inspection at a good price."

"This company uses the Orange Oil* and microwaves to treat for termites; and boric acid (Timborand reg;) on exposed wood to prevent future infestations. They use video cameras to look in the walls to determine which studs are affected.
Miguel was prompt on arrival, courteous and did a more thorough examination of the rafters than the previous termite inspector from another company. But it was clear that he was not nearly as experienced as another inspector from a third company that subsequently inspected our home.
He did not look in the attic nor check the crawl space under the floor. He relied on the previous inspection of another company that inspected the crawl space and found no termites. He only speculated as to how the termites were getting into the home, and did not verify the entry point.
We were quoted $720 to treat the affected studs, and $1260 to treat the affected studs and apply Timborand reg; to exposed wood for termites. (These prices include their 10% internet discount) The whole house treatment includes a 3 year warranty with yearly inspections. There is an option for an extended warranty at a cost of $200/year. The extended warranty is available only if the original warranty has not expired.
We considered this company, but subsequently learned from our county Agricultural Commissioner's Office that they see more repeat treatments when orange oil or microwave treatment is used compared to chemical treatment (fipronil aka. Thermadorand reg;, or fumigation). We are concerned this may indicate that the microwave and orange oil treatment are not as effective in eradicating termites despite a controlled study conducted by the University of California [Vernard R. Lewis et al, Journal of Economic Entomology 89(4): 922 - 934 (1996)) that suggests the method holds promise. The county Agricultural Commissioner's Office confirmed that boric acid treatment on exposed wood works well for prevention of termites and fungus.

*Addendum: At the end of the inspection we received a hand written estimate from Miguel based on the work and process we verbally discussed and he explained. We did not receive a written estimate until after this review was written. There is a discrepancy in what we believe we were told (that they use Orange Oil) and what the formal written estimate/contract states -that they use fipronil [and not Orange Oil]. We also noted discrepancies in what were told by the inspectors versus the terms of the written estimate/contract with other companies so this is not unique to this company. We would recommend reviewing the formal estimate/contract with any company before committing to any work.

"Duct care replace all our ducts at home . Technician was super nice and very clean and friendly. We had problems with the dryer and he inspect that on the way and clean that for free of charge. Highly recommended."

"We kept hearing noises for quite some time; so I called All Pest Pros from information on Angie's List.   Without other estimates, etc., our decision was based on their inspection and our reviewing of what needed to be done, and we selected them to begin immediately.  On the day of the inspection, the inspector sprayed the outer limits of our yard to help stop any other "varmints" away from the house and entering through holes under our roof line which we could never have seen if they had not inspected and showed us.  The next routine was to spend 2 whole days closing up all holes left open by our builder!!! and setting traps as a precaution while completing the process of removing all insulation, clearing, disinfecting & de-odorizing using a special "orange spray" in the entire attic space.  Final step was to replace ALL of the insulation with a better insulation than we had before (8 inches) to (approximately 12 inches).   They also left a couple of traps even tho they had closed all holes to check later as another precautionary step.   We will contact them later for closure on this step.   We HAVE NOT heard any critters since they left!!  I recommend their work!  We were given some cost breaks due to Angie's List and being senior citizens, and it did help with the costly repair!"
