I cannot rave enough on this company's customer sevice! Kenny has been our "Bug Man" for several years and he is amazing. Not only do we get treated properly for pests, we get friendly and knowledgeable service. We appreciate your kindness and understanding with the "spider" issue. Thanks for all you do Kenny, and thanks to The Bug Man for your reasonable prices and ability to hire an amazing team.

Kenny has been coming to our house about 3 years now & keeps us Bug Free! Highly recommend the BugMan. We are very rural so see every annoying bug but never in the house thanks to this service. And Kenny showing up each quarter is like a visit from us a friend. He’s a great guy & very thorough.

Provider response

Laurie Tyrie, we're so grateful for your positive review! It means a lot to our team.

I have tried many bug/exterminating companies with poor results until I came across the Bug Man. Exceptional service, always courteous, shoes off without even asking, keeps me informed on everything he’s doing and every chemical he’s laying down where he’s putting it, they come when I call if I see something between services, I couldn’t be happier. Shane, you have done an outstanding job over and over again and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you and your company to any of my neighbors that need service. We’re a very happy bug free family.

Provider response

Hi Steve Arbucci, we’re so happy to hear we exceeded your expectations. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Best company to take care of your needs, we have been using them for well over 8 years. Preventing treatment is a must. Kenny is our guy in Woodbury and I adore him. Best personality, does his job very well and informs of any concerns.

The Bug Man in Murfreesboro has been our pest control service for several years. Kenny has been the tech that visits our home for all those years. I appreciate that when I receive my notice of seasonal appointments I only have to reply to have Kenny call me when he gets to the house and it’s that easy. He is in and out quickly while treating every area thoroughly. I expect to continue using the Bug Man and Kenny for our pest control indefinitely.

Provider response

Hi Angelina, thank you for taking the time to review us and for letting us know that Kenny provided exceptional service! We will be sure to let their Manager know they are doing a great job!

Lies about Arkansas laws on when services are due. Talks over you and is very dishonest/ disrespectful. I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

Provider response

Marry I am really sorry to hear about your negative experience with this company. That being said I do think you have posted this on the wrong company, we are The Bug Man pest control service residing in Murfreesboro Tennessee. We have only ever serviced residential customers in the Nashville area of Tennessee and not in the State of Arkansas. <br>Kind Regards<br>Jonathan Cassidy<br>Branch manager of The Bug Man

I have been a customer of Bug man for a couple of years and before they were bought out David was my technician and he was always great. I had a seasonal visit and a new tech come out. He was cool but it seems like he wanted to do the bare minimum. After he sprayed he seemed like he was done I asked him about putting the stuff down to prevent ants and etc etc. I guess he looked at what David did previously and then decided to proceed with the rest of the service. I don’t know if the service I received prior to me pointing out what else needed to be done substantiated the price especially sense it continues to go up. Another problem I had is the tech helped himself to my outdoor water faucet. I made a joke of it to point it out to him but I feel like its common courtesy to ask before you use. Its water and I don’t mind but you shouldn’t assume its okay just because its there. Everyone might not be okay with it and customers have a right to make that choice.

Provider response

Hi JaQuita, Thank you for letting us know about your recent visit to The Bug Man. We appreciate you for bringing this to our attention. We will use your comments to refine our efforts to ensure this issue does not happen again.

Everyone who I’ve spoken with has been pleasant and professional however, I’ve had to be serviced twice in 1 month and 2 months after the 2nd service I’m needing to be sprayed again because there are still insects appearing. I used The Bug Man previously (I believe when David was the tech) and I’ve used other companies. I’ve never had to be serviced more than twice a year. Especially with the higher prices (I’m sure due to inflation) I think they should at least offer some sort of compensation other than a 30-day warranty if a customer continues to call.

Provider response

Hi Aree'll Robinson, thank you for your business. We appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about your concerns and work with you to ensure your satisfaction. We will be reaching out to discuss your concerns. <br>

I had a new service tech. I feel he should have been trained more. I happened to be home to tell him what to spray. I'm afraid I wouldn't have gotten my full treatment otherwise.

Provider response

Hi Tina Simmons, we regret to hear we did not meet your expectations. We will be reaching out to see how we can improve our future service.

I have been a customer of The Bug Man for 3 1/2 years, when we bought our house here in the Boro. Our service man was Corey. About a year into our time we heard scratching sounds in our walls in our master bathroom. We called TBM and Corey came out. He told us we didn’t have anything in our house or under our house and that the sounds were “roof rats”, which I asked what they were. He told us “they lived in the trees (we back up to woods) and are in fact rats but won’t come in the house. They scratch on the roof and it echos and sounds like they’re in the house, but they’re not.” Thus eliminating my motivation or need to call if/when we heard sounds again. He placed a bait box beyond my back fence, which I found out from their new serviceman was illegal because of the distance from our house and the fact that it was placed out in and among wildlife. Not to mention it was useless. So, rats took up residence in my crawl space in the winter months. They chewed through my crawl space vents, water lines under my house ($400 repair) and through my moisture barrier in my crawl space. Their new service man let me know that Corey was no longer with the company because he didn’t like going into crawl spaces. He said he was now dealing with many issues with Corey’s customers. David, his manager confirmed all of this information. David asked me to send him the invoices for all of the work we were having to get done to eliminate the rodents, secure the house and sanitize our crawl space. We have hired Complete Animal Removal and have paid them $7,500 for the professional work needing to be done. Once I sent this invoice to David, he told me that it would be referred up to his district manager, Jonathan Cassidy, due to the size of the invoice. He said their insurance would have to cover it, which I understood. Jon called me and told me they would not reimburse me anything since they were not “legally required” to do so and that they were the biggest pest control company in the country (owned by Rentokil Initial, which is a British business group) and losing me would not bother them. They are NOT locally owned, as they advertise, and this decision came from their “corporate legal”. I have cancelled their service and would not recommend them to anyone in the Boro. Shop local. Horrible customer service.

Said it was bug bugs but it's just roaches.. tried to rip off my 70 year old neighbor by telling him it was the bed bugs cause that is the most expensive service they do. Would not recommend. Orkin came and fixed the roach problem, bed bugs were never even in the equation. -_-

Provider response

We believe this to be a fraudulent claim. We would like more information on this situation. What city is the home in? Middle Tennessee? We are not in the business of taking advantage of people. We have been in business since 2001 and would never do this. Please provide us with additional information so that we may look into this. You can email me at dan@thebugman.us<br>I look forward talking. Thank you

Rip off! First spray didn't work. They was aware if the issue but due to my work schedule it was challenging to have them come out right away. Called today only to be told since I was weeks away from my next spray that I have to pay. I'm furious! To imply the only way to maybe fix the problem is to dish out more money when the first time the treatment didn't work! The lady who I felt with I believe Carrie, was very unhelpful and trying to push the scam really hard! Do not use this company. I opted for them because they was a local company but I see you just can't support everyone. Sincerely, Ms. Person

Provider response

Ms. Person, I greatly apologize that we did not meet your expectations. This time of year some situations require a follow-up appointment and we are always happy to do so at no additional cost. I reviewed your account and see that we had an appointment on 06/25/15 with you. However, no one was home to meet us. Between our technician and office, we left 3 voicemails to re-schedule with you. Our office associate informed you that your next regular service was due this month and I do apologize if there was any misunderstanding. We would still be happy to come out and resolve your problem at no charge.
