Exterminators good managers bad
The actual face to face workers are let down by their managers who give incorrect information to customers, leaving the workers to bear the brunt of customers frustration when they do not keep to the illogical time slots set by management
Quick and efficient

I probably would not use them again
I probably would not use them again. The operative was friendly and knowledgeable and phone contact to arrange the appointment time was efficient.
The main issue was that the entire booking and quoting system is online.
I chose the service that most matched my requirements and paid £245. This was to adjust and spray the front door hinges and then to plug some holes in our floorboards. What was actually needed was for us to replace 2 sections of floorboards rather than plugging some small holes. I had sent photos prior to the visit and this was not picked up on. The operative completed the original tasks within an hour. There was no opportunity to deviate from the original task even though a more appropriate solution had been identified.

I asked at very sort notice to have some pruning & digging done. Which the lady who answered to phone was great when seeing if that could be done & the team fitted me in.
The gardener was very helpful and completed the job as requested.
I have used this team before & in many instances it is the same friendly faces who complete the work
