Abell Pest Control

i had fleas about 7 months ago they sprayed my home in 10 mins did not tell us to leave the house when they was spraying it and i got bit the next day they came THREE times and still never got rid of the problem do not go with this company they are a ripoff unprofessional.

I struggled with this rating. I'd give a full 10 on results, but lower on the admin. end.
We moved into a 150+ year old home 7 years ago, and quickly discovered we weren't living here alone. We had huge (4"-5") centipedes EVERYWHERE!
The tub was crawling with them every morning. I'd go to grab my robe off the hook on the back on the door in the morning, and find one or two on it. We were carrying a big chair up the stairs and one crawled out from the cushion inches from my face! UGH!!!
Not a day went by without seeing them. It was horrible, and I developed a phobia of them.
We had Abell come in and spray, and it did take about 6 months before I was not seeing ANY at all. (The technician we first dealt with was Dan, and I came to refer to him as "Dan, my super-hero"!)
We pay $250 a year for a spring and fall visit, which is well worth it to keep my sanity. My only issue is that I have mailed in my annual payment, and realized we only got one visit, or no one has called to come and we have to call. I think if they take your money up front, they ought to have a better system in place to ensure you get served.
BUT . . . the result is wonderful! We are completely centipede-free, and going from what we had to this . . . well, well worth the cost!

Yesterday (March/4/2012) I've email to Abell Pest Control for removing the wasps nest nearby my skylight window and I was replied by email within 2 hours even on holiday! We have arranged all just with 3 emails and Mr. Kevin Higgins (Route manage) from Abell appeared in front of me early in next day to clean all up, very quickly and friendly. Price is reasonable and prsented in detail, service was quite well before all job started from this company.

Abell staffs, Thank all of you there again.

Hired Abell from LONDON for 3 visits. One in May, June and Sept. First appointment was cancelled due to rain(because the poison would be washed away), only to come 2 weeks later in rain any way. Then thats the last i saw of them. When a refund was requested because they never came back, BRUCE the manager assured me i would be refunded. To add injury to insult, 3 months later the refund was never received and BRUCE ignors my calls. Finally got BRUCE on the phone today dec 12, 2011 and he laughed at me.

Abell sprayed my house for grain beatles when we still saw them present the tech said he would have his manager come and find the source. This never happened and they don't return our calls.

Last month, we identified ants aggregating at a location inside my basement. I immediately contacted abell since its the only pest control company off the top of my head. They came promptly and provided very good services. Since then, I have never seen an ant in my house again!

A few days ago, one of the wall inside my basement suddenly filled up with ants. I immediately called this organization as I always see their vehicles driving around town. They came quickly and performed extermination services. Now I need to renovate my basement, but no more ants!

Called Abel to get them to relieve us of our squirrel problem.
They came out and put a one way door on the hole.
Then they proceeded to tell us that they would be back to pick up the one way door next week, when they would be sure that the squirrel had vacated the premises.
When asked if they would then clean out the nest and obstruct the entrance to the nest, they responded that they were only going to assure us removal of the squirrel. Upon removal of the one way trap, they could not guarantee that the squirrel would not return.
Soooo....how exactly have they solved our problem???
They didn't .
When challenged, they simply tried to justify their position.
We did not receive a refund, or even an apology.
We paid over $400 for some guy to climb a ladder and screw on a shoddy little wire trap. What a rip off.

Last summer I had a pocket gopher invade my backyard. Most people have never seen a pocket gopher but have probably seen the results of their activity. These are the critters that leave those mounds of dirt in the green spaces that are all over the city. I tried to get rid of the pest on my own by sticking a garden hose down the hole and just drowning it out (they typically won't surface). Well, all I got was a big water bill. So I called Abell Pest Control and scheduled an appointment. I'm not a fan of using poison since I have a huge backyard garden (which is organic). But the service guy assured me he would minimize the amount of chemicals he would have to apply. There was only one patch of chives that I had to sacrifice because the gopher had dug right by them. AFter two applications (a few weeks apart) there was no new activitiy (mounds of dirt) and my garden was left relatively intact. I recommend Abell and would hire them again.

I discovered carpenter ants were 'dining' on my lower kitchen cupboards; I also had a problem with spiders. The technician from Abell walked me around my property and explained the habits of carpenter ants and what would be required. I chose to have a complete pest control service, which covered one full year -I think 4 visits-- plus any additional visits as necessary. They were informative, efficient, and friendly. The best part was I was ant, spider, moth, and mouse free! They are as good as their ads suggest.
