Customer reviews for Hired Killers Inc
amanda taylor
I feel very confident using Hire Killers for my home pest control. I had a very bad experience with a different company and Hired Killers listened to my concerns and explained what to expect in detail. Allen performed my inspection and treatment. He was prompt, professional, and just provided great service.
Teresa Ward
Stephen was very courteous and thorough. He addressed the issue of the large red ants in one of the rooms (thankfully, dead ants) and put out some ant bait. I've been receiving quarterly service from Hired Killers since 2020.
Melinda Parker
We had Hired Killers exterminate for us today. John diagnosed the issue immediately and handled it very professionally and thoroughly. He explained what he was doing and his plan. He was so kind and informative. The office staff was the same way when I called to schedule. We will continue with their excellent service.

Hired Killers has done a great job of keeping our home as bug-free as possible. We recommend Jason; he’s super knowledgeable and friendly. He’s our preferred exterminator.

Edit to respond to the owner: * I made my disappointment known the day I was charged more than expected (especially for spraying only the outside, aka half the amount of work, thank you for the reminder.) and clarified how long it took for the bugs to die, but I gave the benefit of the doubt. Also, I asked the technician if it made a difference if I spray the inside as well and he all but said he didn't care what I did that he wanted to get the job done and leave and said it was customer preference. If that is not the case then when a customer asks they should be informed that the product will not work at all unless sprayed both inside and out, because even more time has passed since I originally reviewed and no change. I do not have an infestation, I live next to trees in the Hill Country in a new house, basic general spraying is what I needed. If it weren't for the comments about "needing immediate results" and blaming me for the lack of effectiveness, I would have deleted my review or given higher stars. I would also be curious as to how long the "die later" is supposed to take, because I have yet to see a dead bug anywhere. I believe March 3rd to July 7th is more than 21 days. Thank you, I appreciate the refund. Original review: Never again, unfortunately. Cost: $131 Days since spray: 27 (apparently it's supposed to take 14-21 days and 27 is needing immediate results, per the owner) Days without bugs: 0 It feels like I've been robbed sitting here with bugs crawling under my babies toys and crawling on my dishes when I open cabinets. Yuck. I was told it would take 21 days for their product to kill bugs. (Which is interesting?) I called to confirm when I was met with a brown recluse on my wall 2 days after spraying and then was told after the fact that their "product" doesn't kill bugs instantly so if I see them "they will die later." (Which seems convenient for any complaints that may come. 🤔) and that "if you see them you may have an opening somewhere"... fair enough, I guess. Nevertheless, with a toddler in the house I don't need bugs that are poisonous or painful or both to "die later." So that would have been nice to know beforehand. Aside from that, the fact is, it has been a month and there has not been a slow down in any of the listed pests the poison is supposed to get rid of. I am dissatisfied and will not be returning or recommending to anyone, on the contrary, I will advise to stay away and do it themselves for better outcome. Sidenote/just an opinion here: I believe pricing should be based off of square footage or something similar. I have a small cabin so I paid full price for less than 10 (maybe 5) minutes work so like I said, I feel like I've been robbed.

Mrs. Peterson,<br>I recently saw your 1-star review. Since this is the first time hearing of your disappointment, I would like to apologize for not being able to provide you with the immediate results you were looking for. The products we use do require 14-21 days for full effectiveness. This allows time for the insects to get into the product and for the product to kill them. You requested the tech only spray the exterior of the structure; for heavy insect infestations or for a quicker knock down of insects, we recommend customers have both the interior and the exterior sprayed. I feel the best solution at this time is to refund your full payment for services. We hope you are able to find a company that can eliminate your pest population in your desired timeframe.<br>-Chris Richter<br> Owner

Terrible customer service. Jen at the front desk and the owner are rude and unprofessional. If issues arise, they shift blame to technicians instead of taking responsibility. We used their service for a few months. Our technician, Danny, was polite and professional but arrived early one day. Because of our sleeping 6-month-old, we couldn’t accommodate him, and he said he’d return at the scheduled time (very nice guy). Later, my wife received a call from Jen at the front desk saying she had cancelled our appointment and we’d need to reschedule because they didn’t want to pay Danny to wait until our scheduled time. She blamed Danny for not communicating his schedule and said rescheduling options were limited, with no guarantee they’d honor a new time. She repeatedly talked over my wife and continued blaming Danny, rather than accepting responsibility as the scheduler of the business. I later spoke with Jen in person. She again blamed Danny (multiple times) and the weather, despite knowing all day it would rain and not contacting us. She interrupted frequently and took no responsibility. I asked to speak with the owner; she said he’d call the next day, but he didn’t. I followed up the next day and was told he’d eventually call. He ignored me for two more days. On day four, I found the owner in person. He avoided eye contact with me while staring at the ground, dismissed the situation within seconds, and said he would do nothing to resolve it. He also blamed Danny and his staff. I canceled our services immediately. It’s concerning both Jen and the owner consistently blamed Danny when he wasn’t the issue. To save 45-minutes of paying him, they lost a long-term customer. Danny was great, but Jen and the owner are not helpful, avoid accountability, and will ignore you if problems arise. ----------------------------------------------------- 06/3/2026 EDIT: Normally I'd let my review stand on its own, but the owner's response to the above warrants further analysis: • He spends the first part of his rebuttal blaming Danny for arriving early and not following protocol, then claims they don't dwell on who was at fault. • He says he reviewed video footage and concluded I was the problem. Whether such footage exists or was actually reviewed is questionable. • He states his staff contacted him immediately, yet admits he ignored my requests for two full days and assumes I returned on Day 4 to harass the office. He conveniently omits my Day 2 call requesting to speak with him again. Had he considered either of these facts, he couldn’t have concluded I was coming to talk to anyone but him. • He acknowledges making no effort to resolve the issue himself, then concludes with, "Not all customers can be satisfied." If he had spent half as much time speaking with me directly as he did arguing online, we likely wouldn't be here. Needless to say, I cannot recommend their services.

Mr. Fifer, we apologize again for our tech arriving early for your appointment. On days when we are experiencing bad weather our techs are only able to treat interiors and tend to run ahead of schedule. Company policy is that our techs must contact the office if they are running 30 minutes or more ahead of schedule, so that our office staff can reach out to the customer for permission to arrive early. Unfortunately, Danny did not follow the protocol on this occasion which led to this dispute. After speaking to Danny, he stated it was close to the 30 minute threshold and figured it was not going to be an issue, since most customers are happy when we arrive early. Danny is an excellent technician and represents Hired Killers very well and suffered no punishment for this decision. We do not dwell long on who did what wrong at Hired Killers, as all of my staff are well trained and make very few mistakes. We do, however, move quickly to produce resolutions to problems as they arise and use the situations as training tools for all staff to prevent any recurrences. _______________________________________________________________________<br><br>I have reviewed the interaction between Mr. Fifer, Mrs. Fifer, and my staff. I feel that all my staff were courteous and respectful while listening to their concerns and noted my staff offering resolutions. Unfortunately, even though my tech left their home and returned approx. 15 minutes later at Mrs. Fifer’s request, we were unable to satisfy this customer. As such, Mr. Fifer decided to make his 1st trip to our office. Upon video review, Mr. Fifer’s demeanor when he entered my office was aggressive, rude and bordering on being out of line. He, in fact, was the one constantly interrupting and talking over my staff as they attempted to provide him with an explanation, demanding to know why the tech arrived early. When he did not get the response he wanted, Mr. Fifer demanded to speak with the owner. I was contacted immediately by my staff once he left and was provided with the details of the situation. I then did my due diligence and began looking into exactly what happened. <br><br>After I returned to my office from being out for 2 days, I had multiple messages on my desk regarding this matter with a request to please call the customer. At 8:15 that morning, while I was on the front porch hanging up a sign, Mr. Fifer decided to make his 2nd trip to my office, not knowing if I was going to be there or not (I suspect he was there to harass my office staff again). As Mr. Fifer approached the building, I said “Good Morning. How can we help you?” Mr. Fifer identified himself and stated that he needed to see the owner about a problem he had. I introduced myself and he asked if I had a moment to speak. I replied “Sure, just need to finish tying up this sign.” Mr. Fifer immediately started in about how my staff, especially Jen, were rude and not helpful to him or his wife. I listened for about a minute or so while I finished tying up the sign.<br><br>Knowing that my staff had already offered him and his wife resolutions to this situation with no success, I kindly stated that I was aware of the situation and had reviewed the interactions and did not feel any of my staff were rude or unprofessional to him or to his wife. I got the sense that was not the response he had hoped for. So he canceled his services with us and left. I have owned Hired Killers Inc. for 27 years and my staff and I handle over 15000 stops a year. Over that time, we have strived to provide great customer service time and time again and learned to quickly resolve problems. We have also learned in that time that not all customers can be satisfied, no matter what resolutions are offered. <br>- Chris Richter<br> Owner

My daughter and I have used Hired Killers Inc for pest control in Wimberley for years. Stephen is the employee who does the service on both houses. He is always on time, friendly and very professional. He always asks if we have seen any bugs. My answer has always been no. He must be doing a great job keeping the little bugs away. Stephen is a valuable employee to Hired Killers Inc.

Camille and Georgia Billing
Danny from Hired Killers has been such a huge help with our ant problem! He’s come out a couple of times and has been super friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable each time. What really stood out to me was how much he genuinely cared about helping us — he wasn’t just trying to get in and out, but really took his time to make sure he did everything he could to solve the problem. He explained things clearly and made us feel confident we were in good hands.
