While their services are good, they don’t call and let you know when they are coming until they are on their way. Then when needing to reschedule don’t call. We have had to call each time for 4 times in a row due to them not communicating when they will be there.

Provider response

We are happy you chose us. Thank you for the review!

Initially, with the Knowles, it failed to dry thoroughly. We recommenced the cycle. Subsequently, the issue recurred with increasing frequency. It doesn't seem to dry correctly.

We have had two different guys come to our home this week: first, to assess our needs; second, to begin our initial service. They were both personable, knowledgeable, and very friendly. I haven’t seen this type of customer service in years. I applaud University Pest Control for having excellent employees and would highly recommend them to anyone in the greater-Southern Arizona area.

Making an appointment was quick and easy . All of the technicians provided excellent customer service and explained everything and I would definitely come back and recommend to others. George horn was an amazing technician very nice and asked if we would like to do follow up appointments. Every technician always came on time. The price is extremely reasonable, especially that they came out three times. 10/10

Provider response

We truly appreciate the review!

When I first moved into this new-built house out in the desert, I had many pests. Thank goodness I called University, and now I am pest free. Thomas has been very helpful and professional. I definitely recommend University Termite & Pest Control to anyone with a pest problem. Thank you for a job well done.

Thank you Joanne!

How does a tech service an entire school in Rio Rico in 11 minutes? They always have fire ants in the playground & paper wasps nest by the front.

Provider response

Thank you for the feedback and concerns. The school district is contracted for the cafeteria and teachers lounges on a schedule. We our performing IPM services meaning we have devices (traps) in place that we are checking, treating as needed and replacing along with preventive services in the high risk areas. Any other reported concerns are addressed during the posted service days, unless we are called out for an emergency. However, it should take our techs longer than 11 mins to service the scheduled cafeteria and teachers lounge with no other reported concerns. We will look into the services we are doing and the service times it takes and ensure we are following protocols.

There is no warranty. No follow up after positive presence of termites.

Provider response

Hello, <br><br>We apologize for any concerns you had with our service. We don’t want any customers or potential customers unhappy with the service we provide. We offer warranties with all our termite programs and even our spot treatments have a 60-day warranty. Our protocols for termite inspections are to draw a graph of the home / structure. We will indicate on the graph where or if any termite activity is, conditions conducive and inaccessible areas. When termite activity is located at a customer’s home, we would have treated it onsite. Otherwise, we provide a quote for treatment that comes with a warranty and if not agreed upon at that time, a follow-up call is made. Your name is not on the review; can you give us a call so we can make this right? Please ask for Nick! Thank you and we hope to hear from you... <br>

We were inspecting a home currently under warranty with University Pest Control who told my Realtor an inspection would be covered by their warranty. So we of course used them. Then they called to collect $95 for an inspection and just said "Sorry there was a miscommunication, we will only charge you $85!" Thanks, but no thanks. These folks are clearly dishonest - call someone else.

Provider response

Mr. Terpstra we are sorry for the miscommunication during this service. Inspections done for real estate transactions (WDIIR) are charged because we have to file those reports with the Dept. Of Ag. They charge us fees per report that is filed. If a customer wants just a termite inspection done for themselves not for the purchase or refinance of the loan then we perform those for free. Again we do apologize for the confusion.

Technician chose not to follow path of previous treatment drill holes in garage floor. He said he preferred to drill closer to the wall. He drilled into our water line it took 5 and a half hours to repair at cost of $1 ,100.00 and I'm still left with large hole in floor. No response from mgmt.

Really hard to just get a price quote/range here. You need to schedule an inspection first, which I understand why. I explained another company had already done so and I just want to compare prices. Nope. Must schedule an inspection first. Okay then, nevermind.

Provider response

Maeh,<br><br>Sorry for the inconvenience. We are bound by certain rules and regulations by the State of Arizona regarding providing quotes for the services we provide. When we are mandated to perform these inspections we always follow the rules... I know some competitors may not, but that is the standard that we hold ourselves to.<br><br>If it is appropriate, we would love the opportunity to provide you with a competitive price for your needs.<br><br>Rick

I had scheduled two appointments with the service rep, Gil, and he didn't show up for either one! The first was scheduled on Thursday at 5 p.m. He didn't show up or even call. I had to call him at 6 when he didn't show. Said he had an emergency in Bisbee. The second was scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m. He didn't show up again!! I took off an hour of work to make this appointment and he didn't show up! Horrible service. I only chose University because they were recommended.

Provider response

Linda, I spoke to Gil. He indicated that he has spoken to you and verified that he did in fact call you, but due to your voice mail not being set up was unable to leave a message. We would love to have the opportunity to make this up to you...please call us back and ask for Rick Rupkey...I will do whatever I can to make this right for you.

We used University for 10 years for termite treatment. We had an issue with scorpions. I called the office and after the 3rd call a technician made a curt call to us saying the service wasn't free. We realized that. I then called the office again and told them what had occurred and I was willing to play the message to them. I was told the owner would call me the next day. That call never occurred. We literally have paid them thousands of dollars for their service. One would think they would have treated a long term customer in a professional manner. That didn't happen.

Provider response

Mr. Hoover,<br><br>Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. We realize your time is valuable, so please allow us apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Customer service is our main goal, and we'd be happy to have the opportunity to make up for your negative experience. Please feel free to email contact@bepestfree.com to reach management directly.
