*General Comment: Northwest Exterminating

In Regards to the "Green" bait stations they place around your home.....DONT FALL FOR IT


I was NEVER told that the 950.00 installation fee included nothing but them putting the plastic bait stations into the ground on my property.  It took them less then 1 hour to install and the charge was 950.00.  I was paying them 75 per quarter to moniter them (which is just putting wood inside them and checking to see if the termites were eating the wood). 

I cancelled the contract with them because u still have to have your house chemically sprayed if they find termite activity, so why pay 300 per year plus 950 installation when you can bond and have your home protected for 150 per year with another company.  They do the same thing and spray (for free) if they find termite activity. 

This method is sold for it "green"  advantages, but its just a money maker for the pest control companies.  I was told this by a friend of mine who owns a pest control company.  DONT GO FOR IT.  I basically paid 950 for an hours worth of work....Stupid on my part....dont let them talk you into it, its a rip off

Dear Consumer,   We are very sorry you feel “ripped off”!   Northwest Exterminating is a family owned service company that I have been working with for the last 12 years.  They offer quality pest control, lawn care, and insulation services with integrity and respect for their customers and the environment.  I can tell you that Northwest stands behind their work and follows the golden rule.   Termites are a huge threat to us in the south and the damage they cause is substantial.  Due to this fact, pest control professionals offer two methods for protection against termites- liquid termiticides and baits.    The Sentricon System has been protecting homes from termites by providing colony elimination for over 15 years. The Sentricon System is protecting almost 2 million homes from the destruction that termites can cause, including such notable and historic structures, as the White House, Independence Hall, The Statue of Liberty, Mt. Vernon.   The Sentricon System is the only termite control product to have won the Presidential Green Chemistry Award and is a stand alone treatment that does not require any additional liquid treatment to protect structures.  In fact the Sentricon System is limited in the environment, and has kept almost 500,000,000 gallons of liquid termiticide out of the environment while providing superior protection to any other treatment available today.   By taking advantage of the natural behavior of termites and how they search for food, Dow AgroSciences developed Sentricon stations for termites to feed upon and an insect growth regulator, Recruit IV, to eliminate the termite colony.  Unlike liquid barrier treatments that merely place a chemical barrier around the home, Sentricon can eliminate the colony and in turn, eliminate any further damage to your home.   Please feel confident that the Sentricon System not only provides superior protection from termites, but does it in an environmentally responsible manner and is backed 100% by The Dow Chemical Company.
