We specifically scheduled an appointment for a date and time we would be present with Sweeney, and talked through this extensively with them. They sent an email Tuesday afternoon stating they would be there between 8 - 8:30 am on Wednesday. I was at my desk by 7:30 a.m. Wednesday in our 700 sq. ft. house that looks directly outside. Our 80# dog who barks at anything was put outside in the front yard on her lead at 7:40 a.m. and brought back in at 8, to make sure she was not a nuisance to the exterminator when he arrived. At 9 a.m. my husband called Sweeney to ask when the guy was going to arrive because he had not been here yet. The office claimed that he had been there already and left our house at 7:54 am. This is impossible because their van / exterminator was not present for the 7:30-8 am duration when our dog was outside in the front yard where the hive we specifically needed sprayed exists and I was working at my desk (looking directly out onto the deck) where they have also sprayed in the past. Sweeney confronted us directly about this when we protested paying the bill, claimed they would "check their technician's GPS," and completely ignored and disregarded all of the details about why the claim that he was there was impossible and untrue. We also have an outdoor security camera which validates their technician was not there at the time they claim he was. They were also extremely rude and dismissive of the FACTS STATED clearly that the reason the spraying was supposed to be scheduled today in the first place at a set time and date was so that we were present and actively there for the spraying to ensure the bees didn't come into the house. While we commiserate with the fact that their technician must have accidentally gone to the wrong house or some other confusion occurred, it is mind boggling that they would think it is acceptable behavior for them to try to get us to pay $210 for services that did not occur, at a time for which they were specifically not scheduled, without presenting any evidence such as photographs provided / a signature obtained / anything left at the house to validate their false claims. Highly recommend against these dishonest business practices.

I appreciate a bug free home! When we bought the house many years ago the previous owners told us we would just have to live with the ebb and flow of the seasonal bugs... Not true! We were bug free within a week! Thank you Sweeney's for keeping us bug free!

Landlord ordered for Sweeney Pest to inspect the apartment complex for an on-going issue yesterday. The skinny guy who wears the airpods pro, was unprofessional with inspecting our furniture. He destroyed the underneath and sheet rock dust was left there. The guy never said a word or anything to me about the couch being destroyed. Very upsetting. Please fire that guy for destroying property that wasn't his. 😬

Sweeney's service came to my rescue yesterday on an emergency basis to help with a major problem I had with yellow jackets that I had discovered entering the house through the sheetrock they had chewed in my attic room area. The problem was bees entering the soffits at the highest peak of my house. After application of pesticide that the bees were forced to take into their nest , the invasion ceased and I was able to stop patching my sheetrock to impede them entering my home. I must add that this was one of the hottest days of the summer , so kudos to the service man. Within the first day, the bees are no longer as aggressive and they are dying in the nest. I now can safely personally deal with the nest removal this winter and sheetrock repair thanks to the professional handing of the situation by Sweeney's Pest Elimination.

Questions & Answers

Is professional bed bug treatment worth it?

Yes. Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate. They’re also year-round pests, so they’ll never go out of season and won’t go inactive - the problem will only get worse the longer the infestation is allowed to spread. A professional pest control technician will have the knowledge and tools necessary to find the source of the bed bug infestation and eliminate it completely.

How are pests getting into my home?

While every pest is different, some common points of entry include open doors and windows as well as holes in walls, siding, or roofing. Certain pests can even enter through your drains or tunnel into your roof to get inside. No matter how pests are getting into your home, a pest management professional should be able to conduct a thorough inspection of the property, identify problem areas and eliminate any pests present.

Are pest control services dangerous to my family and pets?

No. Modern pest control methods are carefully designed to be harmless for people and pets while working hard against the pests they target.

Do I have to be home during pest control service?

Whether you need to be present as a homeowner depends on the service you’re receiving. For general pest control and termite control, the homeowner generally does not have to be home. For specialty services like rodent removal, the homeowner will generally be needed to allow the technician inside to treat the problem.

What are the advantages of year-round services?

Sweeney's Pest Elimination | Sep 7, 2020

There are several advantages to signing up for year-round pest control services. Preventing a problem is always less of a hassle than solving one, but year-round preventive services can also save you money in the long-run, especially for destructive pests like termites. It’s also important to remember that while certain pests have different active seasons, pests can be a problem at any time of year - so having a year-round protection plan in place gives you peace of mind that your home is secure.

Why isn't store-bought pest control good enough?

Sweeney's Pest Elimination | Sep 7, 2020
Sweeney's Pest Elimination | Sep 7, 2020

While a number of supposed pest solutions can be found on store shelves, pest problems in homes are always best left to the professionals due to the unintended consequences that can come from misuse. Deviating from the warning label even slightly can lead to problems for people and pets, or could lead to sacrificed effectiveness. Improper use or improper mixing could inadvertently make the problem worse. Store-bought pest control also does not account for other hazards pests leave in homes, such as droppings and nest materials. Pest control companies train their technicians to specialize in using pest control methodically and creating customized pest control programs tailored to specifically what your home needs. A knowledgeable pest control technician can remove the entire pest problem from your home and clean up anything the pest left behind.

Do I really need professional pest control?

Sweeney's Pest Elimination | Sep 7, 2020
Sweeney's Pest Elimination | Sep 7, 2020

Yes. If you’re a homeowner, professional pest control is a necessity, both for preventing pest problems and removing active infestations. If you’re already suffering a pest infestation, it may be too late to deal with the problem on your own using DIY methods. A professional service can target the specific pest pressures you’re facing using tools and equipment not available to the average home or business owner. A licensed and certified pest control professional can also approach the problem with a wealth of knowledge about what pests you’re facing, where they’re commonly found, and signs of activity you might not be aware of - helping you get a better, more effective treatment and taking steps to stop the problem from reappearing. Professional pest control is an excellent investment to ensure the long-term comfort of your home.
