    I had to rent my home for a couple of years and the tenant left the back door open and dog food on the floor in a very high rodent area, then called me shocked that he had rodents. The company came and the said they would rodent proof the house but that the back door was the main culprit.

    I have been trying to contact them for TWO MONTHS to find out whether they rodent proofed a certain area which does not appear in any of their photos, and to ask how rodent proofing works if people leave doors open (I'd love to be able to provide my tenant with a letter from them that states not to leave doors open for example) or whether they've been back to the house or whether they even found any rodents since, and I have not been able to get a SINGLE person to get back to me. Field tech sent me to the initial person who came out, and that person sent me to his supervisor who did not return my calls or emails. I am only getting a threatening bill for $1,000. I would not recommend this company.

    We have received quarterly pest mitigation services for over 20 years. Western Exterminators has a consistent serviceman (Mario) for the whole 20 years. He is always on time. They call ahead to ask if any problems but also respond out to any ants, wasps, bees and rodent issues that have come up in between quarterly services or on demand (or should I say crises). We have had bees swarm our chimney and come into the house. We have had a rat in garage a couple of times. All of these calls were met with a fast response/arrival and problem solved. Thanks Western for being reliable, professional and personable.

    The technician made his visit while we were out of town. We did not get the phone call message telling us of the upcoming visit and therefore couldn’t be present or contact Western to reschedule. Perhaps Western could use our mobile phone number: ** instead of our home number: ** to notify us of upcoming visits.

    Company had long-standing instructions to never spray around the house (unless told otherwise by the owners), and to never spray the outdoor spiders as these are beneficial. The technician arrived when no one was home and, according to the report, did both, while omitting to treat around the base of the barn/shop complex where treatment for carpenter ants and rodents has been requested and ongoing for a number of years.

    We've had the absolute WORST experience with Western Exterminator! We have their "365 Coverage" (had -- I just canceled) which was mostly preventative until we found mouse/rat droppings both under our sink and in the garage. Here was our experience: 1/19: (last Thursday) Contacted and was told we would get a follow-up call by EOD to schedule someone to come out. Spoiler alert: no call. 1/20: No call. 1/23: (Monday) Called and was told that we were on the schedule for Tuesday (1/22) between 8am-5pm and that someone would call to let us know the exact timeframe.

    1/24: (Tuesday) Followed up around 12pm as we hadn't received a phone call. 1/24: Called back at 4:45pm as no one had called or shown up. Was told that we had been scheduled for 8am-12pm but the provider was running late and would now arrive between 12pm-5pm. 1/24: Called back at 5pm as no one had called or shown up, was told that we had been scheduled with someone who didn't actually service the area. Told we would be scheduled 1/26 and we would get an email or text.

    1/25: Called at 11am because we didn't have a call or a text, was told we were on the schedule for 1/31 (next Monday). I channeled my best Karen and said we would be canceling our service if someone was not here by the end of the week. CS said there is nothing they could do, I asked to be transferred to the billing dept to cancel my service. Was told I was being transferred and the call was instead dropped.

    TL;DR - Don't use Western Exterminator for anything other than general bug maintenance and even then, I can't say they were good or if we just didn't have any issues.

    I talked to Chad yesterday. No one had serviced the outside of my property since October. No calls were made to me to explain or set up any monthly appointments. I have an ant hill in driveway which I described yesterday to Chad. Today the service person arrived and said he was here for ants in kitchen! I never said a word to Chad about the kitchen. The service person just shrugged when I stated this and said in a very blaming tone that we had to much space between bricks that are the driveway paver and that was the problem. Really? I am giving your company one more month to do a timely and professional job. Dr. Barbara

    We are busy and don’t always have time to check personal emails. This service used to leave us a message as a courtesy call to tell us when the tree service is being performed. But now, just an e-mail is sent. In order to make lives easier across the board, we need that phone message so we have a heads up and can be home and keep our dogs inside, or request it be shifted to a day we are home and can do so. The technician seemed annoyed that the last time he came the dogs were out and barking, but I believe the communication tax is part of the services you should be providing and e-mail only is not sufficient for houses with pets to manage on your behalf. This can also impact technician safety.
