Mingus Pest Control

Rosie, I do not know mingus from the mailman. All I know is he
does a great job, kled every flea our neighbors decided to give us, and the preventative I haven’t seen anything in the house for months.
This is the truth, and the only reason I read your review is because I was referring him to a friend and it’s easy for me to use forward the Unilocal page. Nobody’s perfect and he might have done you wrong, i don’t know it doesn’t involve me, but to the other readers reading these, he is a good guy and good work. That’s all I can say.

First of all, I’m pretty sure that this Jim guy either paid people or had his buddies write the other reviews posted on here… I sent an email and left a message for this company over a week before anybody responded to me. I wasn’t going to make a big stink about it because it was right after Christmas, and I understand that people go out of town, have other plans, etc. at that time; so when I finally got a call back, I was OK with setting up an appointment a few days later (I spoke with Jim on Tuesday, and he was supposed to be at my house on Friday). Well, I left work early (big deal in my line of work because I work in commission sales, and when I don’t work, I don’t get paid) to meet him because I wanted to get this issue under control before it gets worse (issue being that there is a rat getting into my attic at night and I want to get the hole sealed up, as well as set traps to make sure that they aren’t nesting up there). Well, I waited until 30 minutes after the appointment was scheduled before I called him to see if he was still coming; of course, he didn’t answer. So I left him a message and sent him a text message to find out what the deal was (keep in mind that the text was sent as an «iMessage», meaning that I could see when he read the text… he read it immediately, but never responded, nor did he ever call me back).
Now I consider myself a fairly reasonable person, so if he had just called to say that he needed to re-​schedule, I would have been totally fine with it… I get it; s*it happens… but when a business is a no show, AND doesn’t have the decency or common courtesy to tell their potential PAYING customers that they can’t make the appointment (AND when they avoid phone calls/​messages), that’s just unacceptable!
And on a side note, I should have seen the red flag when Jim told me that «even if they die up there, it’s not that big of a deal (they won’t smell) because the rats in this area are small and decompose quickly»…um, what? Seriously? You want me to leave dead rat (s) in my attic until they decompose?!? No thanks…
So to sum it up, save your time and go to a more reputable company
