A true warning about this business. they could not get ants under control for over 9 weeks at our house. They canceled appointments, rescheduled, and did not have the proper chemicals that they promised when we signed up for their service. They canceled on us day of service with no warning and said they couldn't treat our ants anymore- despite the fact that this is their Job. They also charged us for the month of service! Extremely unprofessional and can't get the job done. Beware.

Unfortunately I have a much different opinion of Black Pest Prevention after today's experience. After paying a monthly service fee (approx $65 a month) for over 14 years and receiving great service. I now have a wasp nest that needs to be removed on my home and Blacks can't/won't do it They stated it's "too high and they aren't allowed to use ladders because of insurance." So you've had no problem charging my credit card for all of these years (approx $10,000 in total) but when I need actual pest control you have nothing to offer and refused to even cover a portion of the expense for me to get someone else to do it to retain me as a long term loyal customer with a monthly service contract? Their only recommendation was that I should call Terminex! So, monthly contract cancelled and I recommend you look elsewhere for honest, reliable pest control services.

Great workers. Nice and very knowledgeable. We have used them for six years and are very satisfied. We have the termite protection with an annual service contract that includes sweeping the spider webs off the house, plus the mosquito spraying. Since Covid-19 has made it difficult for employers to find enough workers, they fell a bit behind like many other businesses, but came out as soon as possible when we had an issue. Our mosquito service is like clockwork, March through November.

Love this service. They are very helpful and will help in any way they can. If a problem comes up before your next treatment they come out and address it. Strongly recommend them. They are really knowledgeable about pests. Services: Hornets or wasps, Ants, Spiders, Mosquitoes

Blacks has been treating and inspection our home for 35 years. We recently found during an inspection that we had termite damage. We contacted another contractor to get another opinion. It was agreed that we had structural damage. We contacted Daniel at Blacks. He sent out their inspectors to evaluate. They also sent their treatment team out to re-treat our home under and outside. The two men that came to evaluate were Justin and Rich.
They were also the ones who removed the damaged wood and replaced it. My wife insisted on them pulling a county permit so that it would be on record and inspected for quality and safety. The county inspector came out and went under and came out and said that they had done a very nice job. This positive report made us feel very comfortable that Blacks repair team had done a great job and that we don't need to worry any longer.

The people here are professional and responsive but I had their annual service contract where I paid monthly and they come every quarter and will spray in between quarterly visits if you call. However, I had to reach out to them for my quarterly service every time because I never heard from them. Yes, they were always responsive and friendly when I called. I could live with the lax scheduling, but by darned a whole year and they never solved my spider problem.
Literally a week after them spraying the spiders were building webs in my house. This last service I joked they must have sprayed sugar water because now we have ants everywhere, which we never had before. Whatever chemicals they are using, while safe for pets, is clearly safe for pests too. I fulfilled my year contract and canceled. I think from here on out I'll do it myself.
