Terrible experience. Lawn Doctor was a major disappointment, as their customer service this spring was the worst I’ve seen from any local company. Last fall, lawn doctor over fertilized my yard , leading to some large dead spots. I called them this spring to set up some over-seeding, etc to repair my lawn. I asked if they would give me a better rate, and asked for a call back on what they could do. I never got a call back, or email. I called back 2 weeks later and again was told that

I am sorry for your experience Chad.<br><br>Jerry
While seeding our yard, Rob noticed a lawn infection. He alerted his boss and with my approval Rob came back that day and treated it. The neighbors all voice jealousy about how great our yard always looks. I tell them about Lawn Doctor and I know some have converted or added them. I still enjoy cutting my own yard, yes even at 70 years young. However, I leave the treatments to Lawn Doctor and Rob to keep ahead of fertilizer, aeration, and other treatments that are safe for the environment and us

I got a little mouse problem. My sister claims she's friends with the owner and strongly recommended I give them business. I called them up several times last year and I kept getting someone on the phone that simply told me how to take care of the problem myself and then followed up with saying they finished their house call services for the year and that I should call next year. Now that it's next year, I called and they said the exact same things to me again. I pointed this out to the person o
I would recommend Midwest Animal and Post Control to anyone and everyone! Ed and his team of professionals are the absolute best! Friendly, knowledgeable, efficient and skilled at their craft. Upon discovery of bats in my attic I was immediately panicked. I called, explained my situation, and they were over to assess and identify a plan within 24 hours. I had a similarly positive experience when an ant situation appeared out of nowhere in my kitchen. These folks are the real deal! Incredibly fa
We’ve used Fenix for almost a year now and it has significantly helped with our ant problem! We’ve had Brendyn as the tech the last few times and he’s efficient and great about asking us for what we need. I do wish we could receive notice ahead of time before Fenix comes out. The last couple of times they just showed up at our door unexpectedly. What if we hadn’t been home? We need a text/call beforehand.

“Please keep in mind, they give discounts to those who leave good reviews. They have a subscription based model and will charge you randomly even when you don't have a scheduled appointment. The cancellation process is awful, and managers Angela and Brittany are NOT helpful. Also, I dont think it works... I still dont see a difference in the amount of spiders in the basement and there was a new type of pest found in our garage. BEWARE if you choose to move forward with Fenix Pest Control! ITS ”
