“I had Preferred Pest for over a year. They're fine if all you're dealing with are ants and common bugs. The service guys that came out were super nice. This year I started having mice issues. At first, they were contained to the utility room. Preferred Pest uses poison stations, instead of traps. I set up my own traps (store bought) that were working fine. Preferred Pest was coming out regularly because I had the year round service, so they were aware. Then the mice started coming upstairs and I was finding them everywhere. By end of summer/beginning of Fall, I was physically catching about 5 mice a week. Preferred Pest was out almost every week. They set more poison stations and foamed the perimeter of my house. Mice volume did not decrease. After months of it still not getting better, I reviewed their website for how they handle mice issues and pointed out that they have not taken all the steps as advertised, and that I would like a different/better plan on how they would handle my mice issue, especially with winter nearing. Their plan was to put out more poison stations. Before the manager left my house, he said "Is that a good enough plan for you?" The following week, I caught 6 mice. My house was built in 2004, 3300 sqft, no clutter, and kept clean. I called Pro Staff. They use sticky traps and trap boxes. I have pets, and learned that although pets don't get second contact poisoning (mice eat poison from poison station, pet eat mice), mice can drop poison bits outside of the stations where pets can get first contact poisoning. The foaming that Preferred Pest did also looks terrible around my entire house (see pictures). Another thing I learned about poison stations, mice eat them and go die behind walls. My basement bathroom reeks, and I will just have to wait for it to decompose to stop smelling. Pro Staff came out, and even trimmed the terrible foam job. The following week, I caught 2 mice but haven't had any since. Lastly, on the day I cancelled Preferred Pest, I was later billed for my monthly subscription. I emailed them and was told I would get a refund, which I have not received. So if anyone from Preferred Pest reads these, please refund me. Update: owner did contact me to apologize, offered to have a contractor come out for the foam, and refunded me for the year”

“Nathan came and serviced our property. I had asked that he checked some of our bait boxes around the house and report back if there has been any activity. Not long after he came back to tell me the update and also asked if we’ve had any issues or anything else he could do for us. He was very willing to make sure the service was top-notch!”
