I don't have the same experience with Venture as others, we have been with Venture Pest Control for almost 2 years now and they come out quarterly to our home and take care of any pests, also clearing away any spider webs on the outside of our home. We haven't had a problem with pests since we've been with Venture. Every now and again we'll get an unwanted visitor usually if we've had a lot of rain and we'll call them and they'll come out to go inside between visits if needed, they will also come when it is convenient for us even if it's after hours. One of their technicians, Michael came out at 5:15 pm after hours and provided extra control in addition to the base board spray. He was very knowledgeable and informative and he even checked our crawl space to make sure there was no sign of a moisture problem to where we'd need to have it looked into, as moisture can contribute to pest problems. There was no charge for this service, we only pay quarterly and it's always been the same amount.
