Zeynep Chadwickre: Bug-N-A-Rug Exterminators
☆☆☆☆7mo ago

I have worked with Bug-N-A-Rug for nearly three years, and unfortunately, my experience with this company has been extremely negative. As a property manager, I rely on service providers to be responsive, professional, and solution-oriented, but this company has consistently failed in those areas. Recently, we discovered that a refrigerator in one of my managed properties had stopped working. Upon inspection, it was found to be infested with roaches and completely damaged. When I contacted Bug-N

Katie and her team do an excellent job keeping homes and property pest-free. I’ve known them for years, and they’ve always been dependable and professional. I recently learned they also offer pre-treatment during new construction to help prevent future infestations. Their critter removal team is responsive and reliable. Bug-N-A-Rug serves a wide area across coastal North and South Carolina—including Wilmington, Leland, Jacksonville, and Myrtle Beach—so you’re likely in their service zone. Highly

Always helpful and stand by their product and service. I went back in 7 months later because I needed to buy more flea Maxx because I saw a few fleas in my apartment. I foster different cats so it's always something I deal with. He told me the flea maxx had a one year guarantee so he gave me another container of flea Max for free,which of course worked like a charm. Was not expecting a business owner to actually stand by their word. I admire his work ethic and how he stands by his word and produ

I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Forrest and his crew for the outstanding work they did at our properties. We were dealing with a frustrating water intrusion issue, and they came in and handled it with total professionalism and care. Forrest showed up on time, communicated clearly, and made sure the job was done right — the first time. You don’t always find crews who work this efficiently and thoroughly, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Huge thanks to them for solving the problem a

Outstanding encapsulation of our crawlspace. We are fairly close to the intracoastal so we have a lot of humidity. From start to finish Forrest and Colby and their team went above and beyond, kept us updated, etc. The highest quality items were used such as super thick reinforced vapor barrier, wide tape for taping, insulation and best in class dehumidifier etc. They even customized vent coverings and proactively located a leak in our HVAC condensate line that would have caused another issue.

Diamond Pest Control. I’m very pleased with their service. They are always very polite, arrive on time, come back if I need them to for any problems. I have enjoyed their service! Today Sherman was my tech and he was very thorough, very polite and professional. I asked for him to add on the windowsills in one room and he happily took care of it for me. I’ve been very pleased with my service from Diamond Peat Control and will continue to use them. I’ve recently had Justin come by for my servicing

A man showed up at my home selling his pest package, I said no- he refused to take no for an answer. He said he needed to take pictures of the property for an estimate, I said okay and as he walked away, I went inside, and locked the door. If I sad no once, I said it a hundred times- everytime I told him no, the price dropped. All the way to $40.00 for the 1st spray and $104.00 for additional visits (monthly) again, I said No!

Most unprofessional company. Got a termite bond quote three months ago and they came out today to do the termite bond (waited 3 months) to be told that they cannot do it due to a french drain. The orignal gentlemen clearly has no idea how to quote a termite bond or no what a french drain looks like. Also was told that I had to take everything out of my garage. Well that wasnt the case either. Completely unprofessional company. Do not use. I dont write reviews but this had to be written-

Over the years, Orkin has overcharged me for services I have paid them to fix. Work that they had initially done incorrectly, one time they even put a vapor barrier right over top of the previous one, which they had laid down originally, without removing/cleaning the previous one, just proceeded to put it right over top of previous stuff. Then they wanted to charge me more money to fix the problem(that I had just paid to have fixed) because it was done wrong. I feel they took advantage of me b

I live in a named community in Leland and signed up for inside and outside pest control, and subterranean termite control outside. WARNING: Read the fine print in the contract they sell you. You will probably be asked to sign a TWO YEAR contract. And, there is an early cancelation fee of $249!! And the subterranean control is very expensive, over $1,000!!!

Absolutely horrible experience. After two applications, there was zero improvement. Each application took about 10-15 minutes (I have the top-tier plan, which supposedly treats everything). From the start, I wasn't impressed. When they missed the last appointment, I reached out to customer service to cancel the service. Instead of offering any real help or a proper explanation, they just offered me a $10 discount per month. Why would I keep paying for a service I didn’t receive or wasn’t satisfi
