"We had a rough start with them. Originally I think I paid $100, and it didn't do the trick. Then they were going to check back with us, but they didn't. So I called them and they didn't answer. We got off to a rocky start. Finally I got the person who own the company, he came out and he resolved the issue. By that time it had gotten pretty out of place. He did it in a fair sweep. He said if we had anymore problems we could call him. He has a lot of issues with his help. They don't help. I need to take it out on the owner of the company and grade them low because it was hell. When he came out he did an excellent job, and assuming I can call him this spring when the bugs are back. I would definitely give him an A. The guy that came out the first time did not identify the bugs properly. It cost us a lot of delays. He said we had honey bees in the house. We did not have honey bees in the house.The honey bees were not dangerous. We had a harness, and wasp. We would have been more aggressive in trying to figure out trying to get rid of them if we would have not thought they were not honey bees. I thought the pricing was fair. They were punctual. If the bees come back, which I think they will. I will call them again. The owner was very responsive, very thorough, and did a very good job. It turned out he didn't know one bee from another. When I got the owner hes not afraid to go up on the roof and get the bugs. They were on the second floor outside. The first guy didn't want to climb on the roof. The owner definitely has issues with his health. That's the problem."

"Updated: 2017-05-11
Greenix has called and resolved this situation to my satisfaction. They have proven quite thoroughly that they care about their company's integrity and the customer service provided by it's agents. I have revised my initial grading accordingly.

Original Review:
I canceled my first appointment with Greenix Pest Control after waiting 45 minutes past the scheduled time and two phone calls ending up in their voicemail. The new customer coupon and great Angie's List rating (at the time) was tempting enough to bite. Now I read their Facebook page and apparently this is a long standing issue with them. I definitely do NOT recommend wasting your time with this company. Their FB page also lists complaints of being charged even when no service was provided; that better not happen here!"

"The problem was reported by my tenants. Birds were nesting in the gutter of my 2 story home. The birds managed to pulled the gutter back and create a hole. Nevernest guys came out promptly and solved the problem by removing the nest and closing up the hole. All work was performed within a couple of hours and I didn't even have to drive from the suburbs to meet them. No problems since work was completed. Great job!"

"Michael was responsive and did a good job.  In addition to the initial visit, he did come back a week later to check his work.  A week after his second visit to Mom's home, however, I found a mouse in Mom's house.  The mouse was probably already poisoned; it didn't act "right".   I called Michael and he said he would come back within a few days.  He did not come back.  However, we never saw/heard another mouse.  In the end I can say that the pest problem was resolved.  Michael was much more thorough than the other company I'd been using.

"I called Groen's on a Tuesday morning because we were hearing scratching noises in our attic. We thought perhaps a squirrel had gotten into the attic. My boss had recommended his service as he had a raccoon in his attic a few months earlier. Josh Groen called me back within an hour of my leaving a mesage. I described the noises we were hearing and his first thought was that we had mice in the attic. We set up an appointment for that Friday since I couldn't be home any earlier, though he could have accommodated an earlier day for the appointment.
Josh called me at 8:30am Friday morning to let me know that he was on his way and expected to arrive on time for my 9:00am appointment. He arrived exactly at 9:00am. He donned little booties and we went upstairs to where the attic door was located. He opened the door, located in our bedroom closet, and pointed out right away that there were 'tunnels' in the blown-in insulation and that was an indicator for mice. He went into the attic itself and found more tunnels. He also noticed that the protective screen from one of our roof vents was missing and there was now a large bird nest filling that whole area. He said he could remove the nest and put a new protective screen up so that nothing could get into the attic from that area. After he removed the nest and put the secured a new screen, he said he was going to put some poison mice cubes into the attic. He said that I could buy them myself from a garden store or Home Depot, if I wanted, but that his were more powerful. It was my choice and I told him to go ahead and take care of it. 
I asked him to check the crawlspace as well and he looked down there and threw some of the cubes in the crawlspace. We saw some signs that the mice had been in the basement living area as well but he said he wouldn't put any cubes in the living area because we had a dog, even though I said she never came downstairs, he was against doing it and I agreed.
I had mentioned that I was afraid that mice were getting into our kitchen because there was a fairly large hole under the kitchen sink cabinet where the pipes come up from the basement. He looked and said that was a good possibility. He suggested that we find a way to cover up that area. Then he said he might have some material in his truck that would work. He brought back a sheet of metal, cut to a proper size, and screwed it into place. He noticed a small hole in the cabinet wall that was by the dishwasher and used the small remaining piece to cover that hole up too. 
He spent about an hour and a half in total checking things out and answering every question I had for him. He was really nice and friendly and never seemed like he was in a hurry to get to the next appointment. When I asked how long he thought it would take for me to notice whether the mice were 'gone' he said give it 5-7 days. I haven't heard one noise since Josh came to the house. I would recommend Josh to family, friends, even strangers. His prices were really reasonable as well, even before using the coupon.

"I used them for mosquito control Weather has a major impact on scheduling, so it was hard to set firm dates for service. Always showed up once they were scheduled. Treatments provided significant, but not total relief from mosquito problem. Price was good compared to other services. Techs were always pleasant and professional."

"The experience went good. We haven’t had any more problems. We’ve been at home for 30 years and we just had some bugs. I don’t know how it happened but we just had couple of bed bugs. Now they’re gone. It’s a very clean home. We tried to take care of it ourselves but we just decided to have them in. He was accurate, thorough, said he would come back if needed and respected my home. My husband and I were pleased. I have not seen any more bugs."

"These birds perch on something vertical. They don't perch on trees. They are called Chimney Swift birds.  We can not remove these birds. They said it is very important to have your chimney fumigated once they leave as it can become toxic and they should migrate back with the month. They could not do anything because of the birds. They saw the birds and they could tell from their chirping and their wings."

FAQs for bird and bat pest control service projects in Riverdale, IL

You're likely to find nesting birds in external areas such as your gutters, eaves, porches, and chimneys. Some birds also nest in less obvious spots, like attics or even in your ventilation systems if they gain access. A reputable pro will conduct an inspection before starting any work to check for evidence of where birds may have set up roosting or nesting sites in your home.

Leaving birds to roost and nest on your home creates significant risks that affect both your home's structure and your well-being. The constant droppings, aggressive swooping, and persistent noise can damage siding, allow moisture intrusion, and stain exterior finishes. In addition, the birds’ pecking and droppings can spread diseases and parasites, which can lead to escalating repair costs and health hazards.

Yes, humane removal is possible and ensures that birds remain unharmed during the extraction process. Experts use proven methods to safely capture and relocate both birds and their nests to secure environments. Professionals employ stainless steel spikes as a deterrent while avoiding harmful techniques such as poisons or glue traps. You can rely on trusted specialists who strictly use safe, noninjurious methods, thereby protecting the birds while resolving the nuisance.

Yes, there are legal considerations when removing birds and their nests. You must adhere to strict local and state regulations, which safeguard protected native species during nesting season. Special authorization is required to remove protected birds, their nests, or eggs under the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Observing these legal mandates avoids violations and ensures safe, responsible removal.

To prevent birds from returning after nest removal, you can implement deterrent methods. Installing stainless steel spikes creates a secure barrier that prevents birds from roosting without causing injury. In contrast, loose nets may entangle birds and other wildlife, creating additional hazards. A trusted professional will choose and install the optimal method to keep your home bird-free.

A bird’s nest remains viable for a period that depends on the species. The construction phase concludes within 2 days to 3 weeks, followed by a rearing stage lasting 2 to 10 weeks. Most birds become fully independent within 2 to 6 weeks, while certain predatory species require up to 2 1/2 months. This timeline can guide you on when it's safe to intervene.
