“Dear PoPville,
I’ve been a loyal PestNow customer for about 6 years now and for most of that time we’ve had a very positive experience. They were responsive, effective, proactively communicative, and most services were already included under my quarterly payment. Over the last year or so, I’ve started noticing some changes – no longer giving specific time windows for treatments so that I can make arrangements to be home then, quoting exorbitant prices for things that used to be included or a small extra fee, the most helpful employee leaving, etc.
For the first time though, I went to pay my bill only to discover a new portal. Turns out they were bought by a private equity firm (Entomo Brands) a couple years ago and it seems those signature private equity changes have now been implemented.
All that to say…I’m now in the market for a new pest control company, not owned by PE if that’s still possible! Ideally they would do ~quarterly preventive services to keep bugs out and rats far away/dead. Bonus points if they have options for indoor treatment that’s kid-friendly and include treatments for additional services as they might arise.“
Thanks to Samantha for sending from Benning Road, NE: “Must be a local…”

Note: Definitely NOT an irrational fear up top.
