      This week I hired this company to trap and relocate a menace skunk from my yard. I called at 6:30am yesterday to advise the skunk had been trapped. A employee showed up at 9am, went and looked at the skunk, then left saying he would be back. He never returned. The poor thing was left in full sun, in 30 degree weather, for 12 hours, despite multiple calls to report the animal in distress. When they finally arrived at 6:30pm, the employee put the skunk, cage and all, in a black garbage bag, tied it up and left. But not before making a joke about the relocation being to the pacific ocean. I feel like I was involved in a case of animal cruelty. So much for a humane relocation. This is not the service I agreed to pay for.

      Great service! Very professional people and effective pest treatments. We used Pest Detective for two different properties and they accommodated our request fast, were flexible about our availability both for the treatment and the follow up. For the outside/inside ants problem, the follow up was not possible due to the wet weather and the team granted us an extension till the weather was dry to allow the follow up/touch. The silverfish inside was totally gone after the touch up as they said to us. Also, as they said to us , silverfish is really never going away, so after about two years we saw a few silverfish and we are booking a new treatment with Pest Detective before they breed again. Thank you.
