Report
We had 3 visits last year starting in November and fast forward to now (1/30/22) and our mice problem is still unresolved. We have followed the instructions advised by the exterminator and so far no success. My 18 month-old found a mouse dropping today (1/30/22) on our sofa and almost ate it. Our issue initially appeared to be resolved for the first 2 weeks, but from using the poison provided by the exterminator as well as sticky pads, using bleach to avoid them from leaving droppings on our counters/stovetop - nothing has changed as far as them pivoting to new areas of the house.

A-Rid-A-Pest is amazing! We have had a bird, flies as a result, random rodent (old house, old house issues), and they have been responsive, friendly and flexible each and every time. Not to mention the chemicals they use are effective and last long, so no need for the crazy contracts with crappy service as we have had with other pest controls in the city. Lisa is super nice and responsive! Eck and Artie also made sure to point out other entry points for pests or birds. Highly recommend each and every time!

Due to a shift in weather my tenants unfortunately dealt with pests this winter. I paid a well known brand pest control to come to my rental property twice, no solution. A-Rid-A-Pest was my next option. They were thorough and reasonably priced, no more mice! This is just after one visit. I highly recommend them.

These folks are so nice, responsive, fair, and knowledgeable! The estimate was free of charge, and we got some generous advice out of that. When we called them back for service, they took care of the problem, and since our bees' nest was in a tough spot (behind an old cement pipe, IN the base of our foundation), they promptly scheduled a return visit free of charge! Thank you A Rid A Pest!

Nobody wants to have to call an exterminator for rats, certainly not twice in one year. We called A-Rid-A-Pest last year because of a rat invasion, and Eck and his son Artie came to set traps, search for the source, and seal the possible entry points, which led to two dead rats and the end of the problem. What they couldn't do was prevent us from stupidly leaving our terrace door unlocked a few months ago.
The door came open overnight and another rat came in. This time it took several visits to locate some additional entry points, but these were also taken care of. Eck and Artie are not only very nice people, but they were extremely responsive and were genuinely concerned about making sure that our issues were addressed. They also are highly analytical, using their knowledge of rat behavior to determine how the rodents came in and where they might have been hiding. We hope we never need an exterminator again, but if we do we will call A-Rid-A-Pest.

In this quarantine life, we had almost given up hope that our ant problem could be dealt with, and all the Raid in the world wasn't handling business. So we set up an appointment, and my man Eckertson came through, did his thing, explained what was going on and why he was doing what he was doing, and it's been two weeks and no signs of the little bastards. Great customer service and know-how get love from me and mine.
