We have used Ampest twice this last year and have been very pleased with all aspects of their service. Timeliness and thoroughness are but two of the accolades I can share. I have multiple times recommended Ampest to friends and neighbors. Thanks to Ampest E&W Control Service: General wildlife removal

Let me start by saying that I found Ampest through Google and I am glad that I did! I have been a loyal client for the past three years and Steve is the nicest and most professional person I could have asked for! I am about to call for my fall treatment and actually look forward to having Steve complete the A+ job once again! Don't hesitate and call Ampest, the customer service is top notch!

Ampest was very quick and responsive to come out and take care of problem initially. However, the prices are very high and my problems have returned. Guarantees far too short, when I called they want to know if I'd like to have treatment again for similar, high prices. Can't continue a relationship with a company that can only guarantee their work for 30-60 days, will be looking elsewhere next time.

Critical: Responsiveness Called to have a groundhog removed, called to let them know it was caught, but their policy is not to come out more than once a day. So the poor animal suffered and died a horrible death. Be prepared for this possibility. Service: General wildlife removal

I had a problem with squirrels in my attic crawl space. A wildlife professional was dispatched immediately upon me contacting them. He was able to catch the pregnant squirrel and her mate before she gave birth in my house. He was responsive, professional and got the job done in a timely manner. I paid to have the hole sealed up and he did a fabulous job with all of it. I would reccommend this company whoeheartedly. They were prompt and respectful of my property. I am truly a happy customer.

We had a raccoon tear into our roof and get into the attic and eventually our walls! What a nightmare. We contacted another company and they worked the problem for almost two weeks with no results. We then switched to Ampest and Jeff came out assessed things and got the right trap into the right location. He checked the trap daily (unlike the other company) and in less than 4 days caught the raccoon that had taken up residence. Jeff was prompt, professional and calm (unlike me during this problem). This guy knows his stuff. Not happy with the raccoon but very happy with Jeff and Ampest.
