We paid $325 and we were guaranteed that the ants would be gone. After 2.5 weeks we still had ants. After 7 phone calls, they finally showed up to spray again. We received no response to our calls until the technician was on his way and 15-20 minutes from our house. Technicals seem fine but the company has terrible…

I'm trying to understand what my service now includes with the 10% price increase? I've reduced it to one star now. Since I get a message saying I'm going to have an inspection (first message pre service in many many months btw except for billing) and then no message no comment nothing and a no show? I keep my dog inside for 4 hours. This is an AI communication company their customer service is fully AI now. I miss Aardvark, I knew people's names there, they called me they contacted me making sure my service was good they didn't send AI messages. But they jack the price up for less service.
My service is monthly pest control.
