Nature First Pest Control

Prices are expensive, but they do their job and with the safest methods. I’ve used them for ants, wasps, and spiders. They do guarantee their work. I’ve found the ant control often needs a second application to end the problem. A ground nest for wasps cost $ 230 to take out, when I found out that a simple dusting with Sevin that cost around $ 10 would solve the problem. So do your research and be sure you’re not paying too much. If the prices were about 30% less, I’d give them five stars.

Pretty disappointed. Three gentlemen came out to give me a quote and do a site assessment for their $ 100 fee to try and help get rid of a rat problem. After being quoted $ 1800 I saw the value in their solution and went ahead and wrote them a check for the deposit. After the scheduler said it would be two weeks I changed my mind because I did not want my tenant to have to live with rats for that long. It then occurred to me that maybe I should get another quote anyways since the wait will be so long and I could possibly find someone who could come earlier. I offered to pay them for their time with the hope that an earlier appointment would become available later, as I told them. After that the fellow kinda lost his temper and stormed out not even letting me pay him for his time. They seemed very busy so I guess they do good work, because it can’t be the customer service that keeps them working. Maybe it was a bad day, but I sure won’t be calling them again.

Although expensive, they annihilated our fleas. I had bombed my house with no success and was skeptical of anything working, but this was a one time fix. I didn’t even have to call them back, though they do offer to return if the problem isn’t fixed. This was also much less toxic than bombing. As a pregnant person it was nice to come back to a flealess house that didn’t smell. A month n a half later, we’re still clean!

I have never been treated so rudely by someone in customer service. Before I even explained my problem, after being rude and flippant, he said «I’m gonna pass» and hung up on me. Don’t even call, it isn’t worth your time.

Avoid these folks if you live in Oregon and you have foliage next to your house. I know that is everybody, right? To Nature First, your messy yards are messing everything up for them and they will rip you a new one each visit.
Today I had a follow up visit. I was prepared to tell Mike to refrain from telling me everything around the house needs to be trimmed back. The first time he complained. I told him then my boyfriend is in charge of that. I have health problems making the task a painful ordeal. For some reason Mike thinks he is entitled to telling people like me what to do.
So he gave me a new applicator without the needle. I figured maybe he was stingy, got my old one out and nothing worked. I asked Mike and he told me the old needle got stuck and that I had ruined the new $ 25 applicator. I told him that he had failed to give me a new needle, to which he seemed momentarily apoplectic: his hands shook for one thing, he was silent. I guess he is always right and the customer is infuriatingly wrong.
Anyways, he sprayed the perimeter and again came at me with how everything had to be trimmed away from the house. I repeated that I also wanted that, yet that was the last thing on my boyfriends priority list. Mike said «all you gotta do is cut everything away from the house.» Reason consistently fails with Mike. Apparently everyone has superhuman powers and landscaping ability or superhuman ability to tolerate a crummy tree pruning job when they are in the industry.
To trim everything requires pruning, arms up for maybe ¹⁄₃ hour. Moving rocks may take a half hour. I have adrenal fatigue which means dealing with the necessities of life is an ordeal. And Mike says «Get to Work!»
What do I expect hiring someone to spray toxins. Mike probably is experiencing the effects of toxic exposure…

I’d had ants for the entire 8 years I’d lived in my house. I’d had a contract with Terminix for a few years and it felt fairly useless. I got used to never leaving a crumb or bit of food residue anywhere. I didn’t use the half of my kitchen that was never ant-​free. I never used our dishwasher because they would even get in there. Randy got rid of my ants last summer. He located and directly sprayed about 5 nests they found outside. He set up bait at their entry points in my kitchen and showed me how to add more every few days. I called him back once about a month later because I had identified one more line of ants/​a nest outside. He sent someone over who sprayed it and gave me more bait. Within two months from the initial appointment the ants were gone. And other than a very rare occasional stray I’ve been ant-​free for over the six-​month warranty period. I leave dishes in the sink and crumbs on the counter without anxiety. The treatment was effective. If I develop an ant problem in the future, I will definitely call Randy again. I like the 6-​month warranty and no ridiculous/​useless contract.
