I agreed with &#**;H353338**3132333833H Pest Control" to bill me every time they have to come in my house to provide me service. The last time they billed my credit card was in December 2022. They have my credit card on file, but the credit card company replaced my card in January 2023, "H353338**3132333833H Pest Control" tried to charge my card on January 2023, but it did not go thru.After December 2022, "H353338**3132333833H Pest Control" staff came to my house on Monday, February 20, 2023 at 4PM and the last time they came over was on Saturday July 15, 2023. For those two visits, I owned them sixty dollars ($60.00). I received a bill from "H353338**3132333833H Pest Control" for one hundred eighty dollars $180.00).

            if you choose to use Petri pest do so at your own risk. I reached out to ****** to explain the damage done to my screens, not once did he accept that his workers they outsourced did a poor job (outsourced company World Pest). He refused to own up to a poor job even though I explained to him the tent was put up with poor lighting and at 8 pm at night. With NO supervisor present . ****** himself had not walked the property to advise me PRIOR TO THE TENTING if the screens were insufficiently pulled back, but is quick to say it was not have been pulled back sufficiently. My house was scheduled to be tented between 3 and 6 pm no one showed up till 8 pm. no one called to explain the delay. The workers were tired they looked tired, they ripped 4 screens that were already opened sufficiently their goal was to get the tent up even if it damaged my property and lack of supervision. My house has been tented several times prior and I am aware how wide the screens needed to be opened. Goodies does the bare minimum of all the inspectors I have ever had prior. he never inspected the house by his trained eye, but is quick to write a contract to be aware. It cost me $400 more to repair the damage caused by his negligence and that of his crew. THERE WAS NO SUPERVISOR on the job when the tent was put up, someone showed up at 8:30 pm when the tent was already up. If there was a zero rating that's what they deserve. wet foot marks all over my house, very disrespectful.
