Recent Reviews in Essex
We've used Guardian for at least 8 years. They are extremely responsive to our needs and, since we also started using them for our mosquito and tick control the past 4 years, our summers out back are mosquito free. Adam just serviced us today - a delightful young man and very thorough.
Left melted water from the ladder on the carpet..a mess I cleaned up. He asked me what areas in the house needed to be checked... something he should have checked. I didn't think of the storage areas, which didn't get checked. Nice young man but not as thorough as others.
Owner Response
Hi Roze, I’d be happy to send someone back to check the areas that were missed at no charge. I’m sorry for the mess on the carpet, I will address this with him. Please call the office to schedule someone to come back. Fred
The service tech was polite and quick in his work. The Guardian honored our warranty even tho it had expired and allowed us to extend for another year with out any issues.
