When we signed up for«professional pest control services» we had assumed that they had some special methods of controlling rats that we were unable to implement ourselves. Oh how wrong we were. They charged us an exorbitant amount of money and their only«service» was to place more snap traps(NONE of which worked) and baiting stations. The problem here is we were just feeding the rats, and while we were feeding them a mixture of poison, their method seemed to dramatically increase our rat population by ungodly numbers. Within a month of starting their«service» we told them it wasn’t working and that it had in fact INCREASED our rat population. We were told that it was just an illusion and that we should put even more baiting stations around our property. Since we have a farm, and the rat population was in fact a serious health and welfare concern for our livestock, I could not wait. Putting more bait stations around the property I know created an inviting environment for more rats to be attracted, and they surely did not by ANY means SOLVE my problem. I cannot stress enough how desperate I was to solve this problem. I lost hundreds of dollars in food, my animals were stressed out and in jeopardy, and no matter how much I tried to emphasize to Modern Pest Control how out of control this was, they didn’t SOLVE or offer a VIABLE solution to my problem. I paid them hundreds of dollars to solve a problem they just made worse!!! In desperation I started to try to solve the problem myself-I decided to try ultrasonic pest repellents. I placed 8 of them in various areas around my farm at a cost of $ 40-not only did it COMPLETELYERADICATE the rats, but I haven’t had a rat anywhere on my property since. I have had animals spill food on the ground, and there it sits untouched-so I know the rats are completely GONE. None of my food bags are eaten thru anymore-and the very BEST part-there is NOPOISON on my property anymore!!! And BECAUSE they didn’t SOLVE my problem, and in fact just made it worse, I cancelled their«service». I was told when I signed up it was a month to month cost-like many other people-I was astounded by them trying to charge me a $ 260 «cancellation fee». This is nerve-they didn’t accomplish when I hired them to do and then they try to charge me a ridiculous amount of money to terminate a service that was only bleeding me of money. They really disappointed me tremendously-they should be refunding every penny of what I paid them because they did not, and were not able to SOLVE the problem which is what they were hired to DO!
