Bugs, Bed Bugs, Carpet Beetles

Joe (of SNAP) was a pleasure to work with. At a time when going home can be stressful (due to a bug problem), Joe was very pleasant to deal with. Even before making an appointment, speaking with him was beginning to make the problem easier to digest. I had spoken to many other providers on the phone before moving forward with SNAP, and SNAP was by-far the most informative and pleasant to talk to. Not just trying to get me off the phone or sell me services I don't understand (and may not need).
Upon arriving, Joe wasted no time to get started. He and his colleague were EXTREMELY thorough, leaving no stone unturned, and no corner forgotten. Add to this thoroughness, a level of professionalism and courtesy that is often lost with Businesses these days, and it's a no-brainer to see why SNAP is so highly rated!
They may not be the cheapest provider, but based on their thoroughness and professionalism, I have no doubt that they offer the BEST VALUE!

Joe, thanks again for a job well done!

Thanks for the review. I take crawling insects and particularly bed bugs seriously. This is a very challenging group of insects and conversely requires a lot of determination and patience in order to achieve good results. Every item is checked and either vacuumed, steamed, sprayed or dusted. This small space took up to 4 hours with two techs to treat. Once again thanks for the review ,Joe

Mice in Century-Old Rowhouse

We live in a rowhouse built in 1885 and have mice (surprise) every winter. This year, it actually started to smell like mouse, and when all my husband’s efforts (snap traps, bait stations, steel wool, tupperwaring everything in sight, wall plug-in devices) failed, I phoned Joe from SNAP. Before the appointment, I was reluctant, but as Joe was leaving at the end, all I could think of was how it was the best $ we ever spent on our mouse problem.

Joe is professional and really tries to figure out the situation. He spent over 2 hours with his borescope investigating our home exterior, basement and kitchen. He was able to tell me major areas of activity, major highways that the mice are using and how they are getting into my kitchen range (gross).

What I valued most of all was his honesty and professionalism. Because we were unable to identify an obvious port of entry into the house, he explained that we could not definitively eliminate the mice. He very proficiently lay down what he felt was more than enough anticoagulant for what mice existed, he suggested a timeline of when to do a major clean of the kitchen, and when and how to patch the holes that he identified between our house and the neighbours. He also provided design input into our (newly-hatched) plans to renovate the kitchen to eliminate future potential cabinet or appliance entry points. And then --- even though he spent so long on the problem and really gave us thoughtful advice --- because we couldn’t definitively solve the problem at this point, he only charged me for a “service call” instead of the full fee that he had quoted over the telephone.

Highly recommend! You will not regret it.

Pest control

I was recommended Snap by another pest company to deal with a termite issue in a commercial building. He came in, confirmed the problem, explained the details, and offered several options. He was prompt, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable and most importantly, got rid of the termites.

Thanks for the review. The termites were active and if left unchecked could have devoured the whole floor. We eliminated conducive conditions, replaced wood, and treated the entire area twice. Access doors were left as a monitoring tool for the upcoming warmer months.Termites are not likely to return but I don't want to take any chances. Joe

Rodent Infestation

Used Snap Pest Control to eliminate a spider issue in my home (6000sq ft) 3yr ago. They solved the problem and plugged all the cracks to prevent re-entry.They came back every year for follow up. Thanks Snap for your help. My wife thanks you everyday!

Thanks for the great review. This spectacular beach front home was just infested with dock spiders. I had never seen so many spiders. The webs were removed, we caulked and chemically treated areas where they were nesting and followed up over the course of 3 years. Even I am amazed they haven't been back in those numbers since the first treatment. I will be following up this year ( spring ) before the shad flies come in off the lake to assess the situation. Arriving before the shad flies is critical because the spiders need these insects in order to maintain their own healthy numbers. Thanks again ,Joe

Mouse infestation

had a bad mouse problem that I was dealing with for a few months. I was a little hesitant to pay a lot of money as I thought the problem was coming from my neighbors house which I was attached to. I was going to go with one of the other company's that put poison out and guaranteed it for 6 months. After talking to Snap Pest Control I decided to go with him and do an inspection. Needless to say he found the spot that they where coming in and showed me how to fix it and even left some poison to get rid of the ones inside. Well worth it. The only regret was not going for the full service. By the time I spent money on materials and the time to fix the issues properly didn't save me that much money as have him do it.

Thanks for your review. I think an inspection in this particular case was a good decision. We had to eliminate the neighbor as an entry point and I was convinced that there was access. The inspection showed where they were entering from. In reality it never hurts to get a second opinion on nagging issue such as reoccurring mice. Remember, we get used to our surroundings and a different perspective is sometimes necessary. In fact it still took me a solid hour to locate the hole as it was only visible from a specific angle and blended in well with its surroundings. Thanks again, Joe.

Service

I had a suspected flea problem in my house, my daughter contacted Jo, he and his assistant came and gave a thorough inspection of the house, the mattress, the sofa, the baseboard, the fireplace etc. He also checked my hair for lice.

I told him I had bites on my face,neck, arms & legs, at once he said that was impossible, because fleas could not jump that high, and that the bites usually came in a cluster. He suspected I had an allergy of some sort & advised me to see my family doctor. My doctor confirmed his suspicion. To put my mind at ease he placed sticky board in the kitchen, the family rm, the living rm, my bedroom & the bathroom to catch whatever kind of pest that was bothering me, & I had to give him an updated every week for the coming 3 weeks.

He called me the first week, but the result was negative. I called him the 2nd wk but he was not in, & within the hour he called me bk, still nothing was trapped. I called him again on the 3 wk, still there was no pest on the board, he came on the same day to give the final inspection, and told me there probably was not a problem.

I was so thrilled that my house was pest free, and was really impressed that Jo spend time to pin point the problem first before spraying. in my opinion he is an honest, friendly, knowledgeable professional who will take his time to listen to customer, pin point & solved their problem and not the kind of person who will rush through the service and get the money. If I have a future pest problem I will surely call him back. Also I highly recommended his service to anyone who has a pest problem because you know you will be in good hands.

Thx for everything

Thanks for the kind review. I could tell that my client was feeling the anxiety associated with an invasion of fleas. In fact the property was sprayed for fleas by another company and I was actually mandated to preform 6 extra treatments because the issue was persistent. Having arrived at the home I was skeptical of a flea problem from the onset. The bites were occurring around the neck area and fleas just don't jump that high. Also, the bites didn't look at all like fleas. I decided to be cautious because of the possibility that she was having an allergic reaction to the previous spray. We set out around 75 glue boards throughout the house. Not one flea was caught and I decided not to continue with any treatments right then and there. My client was relived because she herself could see negative results on those glue boards. Thanks again for the review, Joe

It is so awful to have to deal with rodent removal. Joe and his staff at Snap are fast, efficient and dedicated to making your pests problems disappear quickly. I would highly recommend them to anyone with any kind of pest removal.

Mice

I am a property manager and one of my tenants had an issue with mice in their unit. I found Snap Pest control on homestars after using other competitors in the past and not being satisfied with the results. I must say I am very glad I decided to to use Snap Pest control as I found that other companies in the past would only find a temporary solution and each visit would be about 30 minutes. I always felt that was not enough time for these older, downtown century homes. Joe came by and did full thorough inspection of both the exterior and interior. During this time he was very informative and allowed me to follow him around while explaining each step of the process. I have had companies in the past just lay out bait, only to have the mice return after 6 months. I could tell Joe wanted a permanent solution as he sealed all the crevices and gaps in my exterior wall with wire and cement! As a property manager, this is kind of customer service that helps so that I can provide a rodent free environment for my tenants. I would recommend Snap Pest Control, as Joe is passionate, well informed and knowledgeable. Also I would like to add that his prices are very reasonable compared to the other guys who charge more for a 30 min band aid solution.

Thanks for the review. Having experienced this scenario many times I knew full well that my client was concerned for his tenants well being. While I didn't like being followed around I understood that my client simply wanted some results. Why were the mice still returning to the property? The companies that were hired did not concern themselves with locating and sealing the holes by which mice were entering the property. Hence, mice continued to enter at will, simply continuing the issue.Joe

mice

My townhouse backs on to a ravine so I was not surprised when I saw mice droppings. Every fall the mice would be back. 3 weeks before Christmas the problem seemed to be getting worse. I looked online and found Joe with SNAP. We made an appointment that week and he spent over 2 hours looking inside and out. He determined where they were getting in and sealed the holes. He also put bait around the "heavily traffic" area. Joe called me after a few weeks to see how things were going. The mice did not eat all the bait so we are hopeful there will be no more! Joe is very professional and cares about his work. I have always been a big fan of supporting small businesses and Joe did not disappoint.

Thank you for such a nice review. Town house jobs can be tricky because of the attachment on both sides. One needs to grasp which direction the mice are running in and then check neighboring houses. It did take me some time and I did find the opening which corresponded with a high traffic zone in the basement. Thanks again,Joe

Rodent issue

We were experiencing a rat issue within the walls of our home. Joe was extremely personable and professional. He came exactly on time, spent the time to discuss our exact scenario and explain the options. Using his fiberoptic camera he explored the potential entry points, and he spent extra time to help remove decking and install a permanent fix to the source of the problem. Even in the freezing weather conditions, he took his time and did a thorough job. I highly recommend.

Thanks guys. Sometimes a job comes down to probabilities. It turns out that this particular job ends up to be on the same street as a job which I was involved in this past summer. The jobs were strikingly similar in many respects. On the phone I had made a mental note to focus on the same entry point based solely on the address alone. Sure enough while we were in the kitchen and I was getting a low down on the rodents movements it was becoming more and more evident. The job was virtually identical to the summers' job right across the street. Hidden holes were baited and sealed right then and there because I knew exactly where to look. Imagine if we had just installed bait stations or traps. With the opening being active the problem would have never went away. Joe
