Ever since they took over for IPM, I have nothing but trouble. They increase the monthly cost, but don't provide acceptable level of service. They show up anytime they feel like it without notification. When they are here, it seems like they don't service the whole property like they are suppose to. When you try to…

It was great when i was services by Cavanaugh's Termite & Pest Services. But, its going south when Vikings Pest Control took over Cavanaugh and Vikings really suck with their services. They cant really treat anything and they dont care if you want to cancel the service. I would go with a different provider in my next run and would not recommend Vikings.

My concern is that both of my posts refer to our home in Wilmington, De, NOT our home in the Bridgewater, NJ area we lived in, moving to Wilmington, De home in 2009. So all Viking Pest work and Geothermal installation has been done at our home 2711 Ebright Rd, Wilmington, De.

Supposedly carpenter bees were treated (as requested), but they remained also. Had to call 2nd time for another (different guy) to come out and tell me they were…

Wayne came promptly and took care of all necessary places with carpenter ants. He was very pleasant and efficient and they guarantee their results, so that if the problem persisted or a new infestation occurred you only have to call and they will return. This is for up to one year from original extermination.
