Very happy with the Abrakadabra team. We had some bats at the barn and they came out within a week of our initial call. We were able to get our space secure and cleaned out super fast because of these guys. Also the rain didn’t stop them!
Our daughter brought us a picture back from her trip to Peru 11 years ago. We had the beautiful antique frame hanging on the wall in several different places throughout the years. While moving the picture this time we noticed termite holes in the frame and the wall behind.
We called our existing pest control company only to find that they do do not have termite control services in this area. We called 3 other services, two of which are common pest control names along with Abra Kadabra as they had a local office in Forest Lake.
The first company proposed a solution that was over $4,000 before even identifying the termite type with no real house inspection. The second was more professional about he house inspection but recommended the same solution as the first without identifying the type of termite at an even higher price.
Max, from Abra Kadabra came out and did a very thorough inspection. He explained his education, experience and knowledge so I could be sure he had our best interests in mind. He asked if we could remove a piece of sheetrock about 6 inches square to see if there was more infestation. He took samples of the termites and their droppings back to his lab and identified the termites. Instead of assuming that they were the "subterranium" variety which is attached to costly extermination methods he identified them as "dry wood". termites resulting in a 10 times less expensive immediate treatment. All this was done in a VERY timely and professional manner. We are relieved that the termites are gone as well as grateful that he showed us how to salvage the termite ridden frame.
I called because I thought I had mice in my attic; only a crawl space with insulation. Guy comes out and says I have mice and puts out 3 traps and bills me $250. Whatever it takes because I could catch any mice for the last few weeks. A week later different employee comes out and says I have bats. He took a picture of one in the attic, pointed out the entry points and said the poop is bigger than mice; I didn't know. And was billed another $200ish. Get a quote to replace attic insulation and bat proofing the house so they don't get back in. I ask about a price discount if paid in cash and he says 5% off. Great, let's get started. I call office to schedule and they don't do cash discounts. I ask about a deposit and they say 50%, makes sense. But then they say bats are federally protected and they may not get to them until October. Then I ask if I would get my deposit back and they say I would get half deposit back even though the work isn't completed. Seemed like one lie after another. Got a monthly $53 bill for pest control that doesn't even cover bats and canceled that with an additional $110 termination fee. Out nearly $600 and still have bats and 3 mouse traps to show for it.
The only thing I was happy about was the 2nd inspection that was done. Very detailed info and great pictures.
Have another company coming that quoted lower price with year warranty and can start and finish the job within a week.
