    Advantage- Professional but Ineffective

    Homeowner in Markham

    Bedbug Removal I noticed bedbugs in my house and, after reading some reviews, decided to call Advantage. They have great phone service and seemed knowledgeable. My fee of $750, before taxes, included two services, two weeks apart, to my four-bedroom house. The first technician was professional, but merely came, sprayed everything, and left. The second technician took the time to flip over furniture and remove heating ducts to spray more thoroughly.

    However, 3 weeks after the first spray, I was still being bitten, every single night. I had done all of the preparations suggested and more- I spent 3 weeks drying clothes and putting them in plastic totes (and further taping all seams of lids, etc), vacuuming, steam cleaning, etc everything in the house. I also purchased a mattress encasement, so including taxes, paid Advantage $1000. After seeing absolutely no improvements, I decided to cut my losses and go elsewhere.

    For bedbug treatment, go elsewhere. Advantage's methods do not work, as they only spray an insecticide- they did not do a visual check for bedbugs, nor did they use any other methods. Bedbugs are increasingly becoming immune to insecticides, which may have been an issue here. $1000 went down the baseboard.

    Carpenter Ants Elimination - Quick and Effective

    Derrick - Thornhill

    Carpenter Ants Elimination - Quick and Effective We had huge black ants crawling all over our kitchen. My wife thought they were coming out of everywhere and my daughter was scared of the ones with wings. I called Paolo when I couldn't stand my two ladies being upset anymore. Paolo explained everything very thoroughly, espcially in relation to how the chemicals would affect my family. He came and did a full treatment of our entire home, knowing that they took their time to eliminate all of the places these things could be made me feel better about the whole thing. Right away we noticed a difference in the number of ants we saw and progressively over the next few weeks they kept dissappearing until finally no more ants!

    I really appriciate everything Paolo and his team did to help our family. Great job guys!

    Mice are not cute

    Angie - Brampton

    Mice We called Advantage with the worst problem we've ever had in our home, Mice. They were everywhere, even coming out in the daytime. My children (and myself) were scared and I was mortified to even talk about this problem with anyone else. The people I spoke to at Advantage were very helpful, explaining the procedures and getting someone out right away. It's now four weeks later and we are mouse free, there are no more holes in my food bags, there are no dropping on my counters and there are no grawing noises at night. Finally my family can get a good nights sleep. Thank you Advantage for giving me back my piece of mind.

    Paulo & technicians, Above and Beyond

    J9 etobicoke

    Bed Bug Removal 8 month's pregnant and highly STRESSED, my nine year old and I just moved back to Toronto, staying with family members, struggling to find a new apartment and Somehow, we acquired bed bugs. I CANNOT put it into words the amount of stress and physical exhaustion I was experiencing at the time. You will have to imagine, and then times it by 100!...I was in charge of finding a company to spray a 3 story home for these horrible little creatures and found EVERY company far too expensive.
    So, FIRSTLY, Advantage was affordable in comparison to it's "competition" (which there is none in my eyes!)
    SECONDLY, Paulo communicated with me by cell phone, multiple times even on weekends; constantly easing my worries to the best of his abilities. I was concerned about the damage a pesticide might cause my unborn cild, my 9 year old, 3 year old nefew and our pets. Paulo was hONEST and LISTENED WITh EMPAThY to every word I had to say. Armed with mass information and directions on how to prepare our home PROPERLY for spraying, we are free from bed bugs since January 2009.
    IN DIRECT RELATION TO PAULO and is technicians professional and above standard service, I decided to as a precaution spray our NEW apartment the morning of our move! On both occasions, the technician was on time, professional and understanding (coming at 8am on a Saturday).
    LASTLY, I know of a landlord that could possibly have a problem with these invading bugs and I am RECOMMENDINg Advantage for this job.
    ThANK YOU TO PAULO and his entire company for the outstanding service, compassion, understanding, guidance, and peace of mind they provided myself and the members of my family.

    Late and Very Messy

    Jack F Toronto

    Pest Control We contact Advantage to rid of cockroaches in rental apartment and same as the other comments. He arrived very late and did a very messy job applying the gel application. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone. Better more professional companies out there.

    Andre did an amazing job!

    Sandra in Vaughan

    Bed Bugs I returned home from vacation to discover that I had brought bed bugs home with me! I immediately called Advantage Pest Control to enquire about their services. The gentlemen I spoke with was very informative and put me at ease when I learned I could have a technician at my home promptly (the next day) to remove the problem. They showed up within the 3 hour window they gave me and did the service fairly quickly. I was happy to discover my problem was fixed! And although they offered me a second service to come back for free, I didn't even need it! Needless to say, bed bugs are gone and I was very happy with the overall experience from Advantage Pest Control. I would definetly recommend their service to a friend!

    Bed bugs are miserable

    A.K in East York

    bed bug removal I've had bed bugs for 5 months, they are a miserable creature to live with, and nearly impossible to kill. I've had 5 services from Advantage (one of which they gave me for free) from 3 of their guys. John was friendly. Unfortunately I'm still infested, and have decided to go in a different direction.

    Wasps

    HUGO IN SCARBOROUGH

    Pest Control issue I had never dealt with a wasp problem previously so I decided to ask a friend and he told me he had used Advantage Pest control for a similar problem.
    I asked for their contact info and called immediately.
    I found them to be professional, affordable, and effective.
    I would definitely use their services again.

    Helpful and Effective

    Tiffany in Scarborough

    Bedbugs I was terrified and stressed out about these bites on my body…it turned out to be bed bugs. Paolo was the service manager that took my call and he was above and beyond helpful. He was more than happy to help me out, he spoke with me on the phone and calmed me down with reassurance that this problem would be solved. He was very kind and friendly to both myself and my family. I would have gone crazy with fear and anxiety had it not been for his help…he also took calls from me repeatedly and listened to my panic and continued to tell me the facts and reassured me that this could be taken cared of. The technician that came out to my home was extremely wonderful as well. He too, was an exceptional person who really really put much effort into this problem. He was very helpful and thorough. He reassured me and gave me the information I needed when he was all finished up with the service. Thank you for your services.

The most powerful thing that you as a customer have is knowledge and confidence is the people you have to handle your problem. We were very happy to be those people for you.

Thank you for the oppurtunity to be of service.”
