The sales kid will be the smooth talker - he'll point out things on your deck, saying they will 'take care' of everything. They will follow up constantly to push you into signing up. Real big on the pressure sale. I went with it - small amount, let's give it a try, can't do worse than Terminex right?\n\nWell first of all I keep getting fire ant mounds on my property. Instead of treating them once with $9 home depot remedy, I called them back 3 times, pointing out the mound...which they then put pretty much the same product on, just seeming less effective. So a $391 markup! Okay! \n\nAfter the third time, the tech mentioned to me that 'you know, pouring gasoline on the fire ant mound is a good fix.' If I didn't want to wait the week for them to be in the area, sure, just pour gasoline. As you can find online though, this is not effective - it doesn't go deep enough, it just pushes the fire ants 3 or 4 feet away, and it's not exactly safe or universally legal. \n\nOverall this is a company that promises the world and then way, way underwhelms on delivery."^^ . .
