Absolutely thrilled with everything about this company. Ralph was on time for the original inspection/estimate….as well as when he came to do the actual work. My original plan was to get at least 2 estimates but I was so impressed with Ralph that I decided just to go with him without seeking any additional quotes. I would highly recommend them to anyone with the slightest reservation.

Ralph did a Spring inspection and treatment of both the inside and outside of our home today. He is one of the nicest people I have ever known. We have worked with him for many years. I have full trust and confidence in Ralph and everyone at The Bug Guy. Their work is exemplary.

Pro: the customer service is very friendly. Con: I had both an indoor and outdoor treatment done (cost several hundred dollars) and have more bugs inside than before. I’ve reached out to the company re this and have not heard back yet about a resolution. Will update if and when I do. Perhaps ask what formulas they use and opt for a provider offering something else. Update: their solution was to try/purchase a second treatment. Will be the second within 30 days, hope it helps.

They still charge you the money for the service they do not provide so make sure you guys check your statements. Don’t put it on auto pay. they’re gonna keep on charging you and don’t give you the service and when you call back for a refund, they try to hang up the phone on you act like they don’t know you.

Made to feel we were an inconvenience for being squeezed in and after paying the situation worsened (about 3 weeks later) and when I called I was told they would provide a number to another company since I was unhappy with the results!? No offer to make it right or to look into it further just kept repeating what was written on the invoice.

Response from The Bug Guy

We are a small company with two technicians. We recommend other companies when we cannot serve someone in a timely manner or when that person makes it clear that we will not be able to meet their expectations.

I had a huge wasp nest in my back yard. They said we will treat the entire nest for $195. He comes out and a 3 days later we find out he missed half the nest. We called them to come back out and now they want another $125.

Response from The Bug Guy

We are very sorry that you were not satisfied with your service call.  We were called to the home to treat two nests of ground bees, one in the front of the home and one in the rear. The front nest was treated successfully. The rear nest was in an area covered with debris and overgrowth. It was impossible to effectively treat the rear nest with one treatment because of the debris and vegetation covering the area. You were given a discount on the invoice and an offer to come back and remove the debris and vegetation so that the nest could be more precisely located and removed. You declined this service. A one star review is excessive considering the circumstances of desiring treatment in a neglected area.  We take this seriously, as you can see by our 4.9 star rating on Google, The Bug Guy doesn’t feel like your review was a true reflection of the service we provided.

We were disappointed. We had to wait much longer than promised to get the report and it was pretty vague. We went with another company.

Emailed web page. No response. Called 3 times. Talked to reception. Still no response with real answers for very simple rough estimate. Disappointing. Looking elsewhere.
