Problem:
June 30,2007 My mother and I went together and hired advantage to treat her house and my house (2 Houses for $1100.00) for termites. He (said his name was Bill Owen) came to both houses a few days later and set out what he said were bait stations around the perimeter of both houses. He said he was going to come back at least once a month to check them and when termites started to go in them he was going to put some kind of poison or something in them. I was busy at the time so my mother went ahead and paid him (Bill Owen) $1100.00 by check. I have never seen anyone from his business since and my mother says no one has been back to her house either. She has had a big problem with termites this summer and so have I.
In other words he got our $1100.00 and kept it and RAN. Both, My mother and I have tried to get him by phone dozens of times in the past year and he never answers his answering machine or pager. Not even once has he ever returned a call to us.
If you need them I can furnish you with a copy of the receipt and the canceled check. I can sent them either by email or USPS.Or any way you like as far as that goes.
