Annual spraying for centipedes
I struggled with this rating. I'd give a full 10 on results, but lower on the admin. end.
We moved into a 150+ year old home 7 years ago, and quickly discovered we weren't living here alone. We had huge (4"-5") centipedes EVERYWHERE!
The tub was crawling with them every morning. I'd go to grab my robe off the hook on the back on the door in the morning, and find one or two on it. We were carrying a big chair up the stairs and one crawled out from the cushion inches from my face! UGH!!!
Not a day went by without seeing them. It was horrible, and I developed a phobia of them.
We had Abell come in and spray, and it did take about 6 months before I was not seeing ANY at all. (The technician we first dealt with was Dan, and I came to refer to him as "Dan, my super-hero"!)
We pay $250 a year for a spring and fall visit, which is well worth it to keep my sanity. My only issue is that I have mailed in my annual payment, and realized we only got one visit, or no one has called to come and we have to call. I think if they take your money up front, they ought to have a better system in place to ensure you get served.
BUT . . . the result is wonderful! We are completely centipede-free, and going from what we had to this . . . well, well worth the cost!
