| - I wish there were words to describe how amazing this company is - I'll do my best!
When we purchased our "dream home" in the perfect neighborhood, I was overjoyed. That quickly came crashing down when we went to get the key from under the mat & a live bark scorpion scurried out. That was just the beginning. Black light searches revealed a TON in the yard - on the brick of the house, in the cracks, in the rocks, in the plants, and a few even inside the house (nope, nope, nopity nope).
I was an absolute mess. I had nightmares for the 3 weeks leading up to our move in - I would wake every single night crying, dreaming that they were crawling on me or that I would come home to find my dogs dead from scorpion stings. I felt like I was overreacting, but I've never had to deal with scorpions before, and I've never had fear like this. I didn't know it was even possible to be so scared of something so small.
Finally, after doing literally HOURS of research on both how to get rid of scorpions and "how to get out of a house contract" (haha) I found Seal Out Scorpions on a Phoenix blog. We contacted them immediately, and they were so fast! They squeezed us into the schedule just a few days later. I can't tell you how thorough they were. Troy was our technician and he spent about 8 hours sealing our home. Every single crack, baseboard, light fixture, light switch, EVERYTHING. And he even endured me following him around asking a million questions while he worked. He was very patient, knowledgable, and comforting.
While Troy was sealing, the owner William came out to do a walk through with me, and I don't know what it is but this team just has a way of making you feel understood. He was never once impatient, never once told me I was overreacting, and just in general made me feel so calm about the process. He didn't sugar coat things, but didn't make it scary either. He explained that we may still see a few, but he gave us advice on a pest control company, and tips like when to black light hunt & what to do landscaping-wise to keep them away from the yard.
We have since hired the pest control company they recommended, and we've also had to call them twice for touch-ups (seals were broken in a few places when we had some electric & plaster work done) and William came right out to re-seal! He even fixed a broken baseboard in our kitchen that was definitely not his responsibility - but he used to do floors for many years, so when he saw it was incorrectly done he did his best to fix it for us so that it wouldn't be an entry point.
We have been living in the house for 5 days now, and (knock on wood) we have had zero scorpions inside. I can actually sleep at night, and have even walked around barefoot once or twice :) we are still finding them in the yard, but I know that with the job SOS did sealing our house, the little bastards are much less likely to find their way inside. I can't say enough how awesome their whole team is. Georgia has been great with communicating with us and being so understanding of the situation.
Thank you thank you THANK YOU Seal Out Scorpions. I can breathe again :)
