Customer reviews for Imel Pest Control Inc
Brenden Brown
Arrived on time for a termite inspection and did not charge me anything for it either. Would highly recommend
Logan
Awesome! Very pleasant and helpful!
Thomas Van Berkel
Great family owned and operated Patriots. Hooah! Bugs no more.
Frieda
We bought this house that used to have IMEL as a service. They will not leave us alone. Basically harassing to do their service. We had an inspection, no termites! This guy shows up today & says I need to call the office and update my new info and the check today is free and we won't be billed "this time"! I told him to get off my property. I have told them several times we do not want the service!
Provider response
Frieda, the prior owners had Sentricon termite stations installed around the home. This is the reason your home was able to pass the wood destroying insect report (NPMA33) and allotted the approval of your financial institution when you purchased the home. This should have been disclosed with you upon the closing of your home. We are not soliciting you in any way. We were simply doing the job we were hired out to do. If you could please return my phone call I would greatly appreciate it. -Brad H., Manager
Kim Brunstein
Family owned and operated business that has helped me through the years with really wet spring time ants in the kitchen to preventative care. Reliable and dependable. Highly recommend!
Kristin Brunstein
My parents used Imel for as long as I can remember, so when I bought my house in 2021 I knew that I would be using them. Don is my tech every time, always helpful and professional. He even helped calm me down about the spider eggs in the basement. Great customer service! I haven't had a single issue since using them. 10/10 recommend.
Samantha Vojak
We have had nothing but great experiences with Imel! Very professional, prompt, and reasonably priced. No need to look elsewhere for your pest control needs!

Last Friday I had a technician, William, out to spray for spiders/bomb our house. He was late & called me to let me know he was running behind (which I really appreciated). I haven’t seen a spider since. I’ve used other pest control businesses in the past and they did a poor job compared to Imel. Neighbors in my neighborhood recommended Imel to me.
Dianne Gordon
Great service and customer education on product , treatment and process.
Donna Lindgens
Both of the guys were polite. Answered questions and finished quickly.

This place is a waste of money. They didn’t kill off the roach infestation at my rental property and just kept telling us to wait to let the product work and if it doesn’t that I could pay another $75 to have them treat a third time. After a month of waiting and still having roaches crawling everywhere I finally called someone else who killed them off immediately and imel wants to take credit for that saying they would have died the same day the other company came. They offer no solutions or compensation when you’re unhappy with the service. Stay away from this company. You guys seem to have an answer to everything in your responses to people but it’s all excuses. We were never given any specific instructions, every time we called with concerns we were told to wait different time frames. Every time we talk to you you told us it needed another week from what we were previously told. Also, the sticky trap bait that you claim you put down was not actually done. You guys are are full of excuses and have rude customer service. I hope this review keeps others from wasting their time and money with you.
Provider response
Lindsay, we were very clear that there is a specific timeframe for these roaches to stop reproducing and to die off. Even on our included follow-up, the roaches were all in nymph stages which is good. If you would have waited to the date described, they would have been irradicated. I wish you would have trusted our information and given the allotted time to work and rid your pests completely. We virtually never have to put anyone on a monthly because our services work, if you would let them work. -Brad H., Manager

I thought Matt would spray around my house and be finished in 15 minutes. He spent an hour inside and out. He sprayed soffits, around the deck, inside and out side all doors including the garage door and even entrances to attic and crawl spaces. He hit everything he could. He explained the chemical was pet and human friendly. He even threw down a granular around plants to not harm them. I got way more than I expected. He even said if I see any more ants/ spiders he would come back and spray again. He treated my house as if it was his house and went above and beyond.
Provider response
We're pleased to know Matt's professionalism made a positive impact on you. We always strive for reliable and effective pest control services. We look forward to assisting you in the future if anything is ever needed. -Brad H., Manager

Sandy Gordon
The first year I had them, 2 years ago, they were great. The man who came out about the termites was so friendly and professional. The second year, they said they had a new technician and that he had already been out. We were waiting for him and he hadn't come, and we knew this because he needed to come inside. The woman on the phone argued with us and said her records say he's already been there. Instead of apologizing and trying to figure out what happened, she wanted to argue with us. They very much went downhill from the first year till the second. I canceled after that.
Provider response
Sandy, there was a chain blocking your driveway. We rescheduled as we were not able to get ahold of you to open the chain. We rescheduled and performed the maintenance on your home; Which in fact was an outside service to check products, nothing inside. I am very aware of the situation because we do not have many complaints. If only we were able to perform the service the first time out. If you would like to discuss this further, please give me a call. -Brad H., Manager
