When Torrey is sent to our home we can expect quality, kindly, and swift service; today's visit was no exception. He always asks if we've had any particular issues and today when we explained something unique he set out to take care of it. Thank you "Life After Bugs" ... and Torrey!

We recommend Life After Bugs to everyone who wants a pest-free home! We've been customers of Life After Bugs since 2016 and have only ever had a pest enter our house when it was our fault in lapsing on our quarterly treatment plan. On top of the great treatment plan, the company's technicians and customer service are all great folks, friendly, trustworthy, and serious about doing the highest quality job for us; and respecting of our home by covering their shoes when walking in from outside.

Even the Tropical Storm Beta did not hinder Torrey. He was very attentive to my concerns and needs for my home for myself, wife and our pups. He was very professional and courteous! I would highly recommend LAB! You very highly recommend by my next door neighbor and I don’t regret my decision to have your company take care of us!

After having many different exterminators try and fail to get rid of these pests, I finally hired Life After Bugs to solve the problem. After the initial visit and one follow-up visit, they solved the problem! I was so thankful! That was years ago and there has been no re-occurance. They have been my exterminator since then and done a great job at keeping my house bug-free. Over the years they have also rid my attic of rats. James came out recently to do a quarterly treatment and give me a quote for termite treatment. He did a good job and thoroughly and patiently answered all my questions. They are a great company!
Description of Work: Had a problem with an unseen, undetected bug that was biting while I slept. This was a recurrent problem over many years and it was driving me nuts!!!

I had an issue with roaches. It took a few visits to get things back under control but they came out each time and applied materials until the issue was resolved.

The technician from LAB showed up on time, got his inspection done, and then spent an extra 15 minutes of his time helping the house inspector out. He noted a couple of issues and recommended what the next steps should be. Good experience, would call them again.

Was in the process of remodeling our kitchen and found some termites on one side of the wall. Needed someone to come out and take care of the problem quickly due to remodeling time line. So I called a few local places out in Kingwood. One being Kingwood Pest Control which ended up being the same company as Life After Bugs. Well I ended up scheduling them for Monday morning on 8/24/2015 for a termite treatment estimate. They were not able to do the actual treatment until later in the week. So I called another company that was able to get an estimate on Sunday 8/23/2015 and actually do the termite treatment the next day. We ended up using them. I called Kingwood Pest Control (aka Life After Bugs) early Monday morning to cancel my appt with them and left a message for them to call me back twice. Didn't get a call back. Almost 2 months went by and I get an invoice from Life After Bugs for $75 for a trip cancellation fee. Did not have any verbal or printed documentation saying that I would be charged a fee for canceling. Just an invoice 2 months later. Not a very professional way to deal with the situation and definitely not a way to get clients. Especially when you're coming out to give a free estimate.

Response from Life After Bugs LLC
The customer called on a Friday afternoon and we scheduled for first thing Monday morning due to the urgent nature of the call. It was not a free estimate. The customer wanted the work done the same day, and we said we could do a spot treatment in the affected area on Monday, and then we would have to come back to complete the rest of the house later that week. The client apparently found another contractor over the weekend, and did not notify us until Monday morning when the technician was already on his way. We have a certain number of timeslots per day for each technician and each timeslot represents money that we pay (the technician as well as gas to drive to the appointment) whether we do the job or not. Had the customer contacted us when they had found another contractor, and not 15 minutes before the scheduled appointment, we would have had time to fill the slot or simply not have the technician drive out there, however since they waited until Monday we had to pay the technician to drive out there for nothing. The trip charge is a standard charge for cancellations done at the time of a scheduled appointment. We rarely impose this charge because most people call in advance if they need to cancel or reschedule. However, the few times we have had to charge this fee, people have always been understanding out of respect for our loss of revenue due to the last minute cancellation. Obviously, if an emergency came up, that is different, however, this was just a case of the customer finding another contractor which is fine as long as we would have been notified at that time. The customer called to say he did not believe he should pay the charge. After I explained it to him, I let him know that if he thought that was fair then not to pay and no future action would be taken.

Life After Bugs was sub-contracted by Red Star Professional Home Inspection to perform a termite inspection in conjunction with a home inspection being performed at the same time. Larry was our inspector and walked me through his findings. He was very professional with his review and I was impressed that he used an iPad to diagram the house and show me the areas of concern. We had 2 previous home inspection reports in our hands from a previous sale and another that was less than 2 weeks old from another buyer. Larry brought up an issue that was not in either of the other 2 reports. One side of the house is not accessible since it?s very close the neighbor and they have it gated. He visually looked at it without entering the neighbors property and recorded his concerns in his report. The previous inspections said this area was inaccessible and therefore could not comment? I liked Larry and the quality of his service and would definitely recommend.

The day I was moving into my home I noticed a pretty bad roach infestation, so I needed someone to come out to spray ASAP. I called and they were able to send someone out that same day! Even with such short notice, Larry was able to still make the appointment window that I was given, and he even called to let me know that he was on his way. When he got there, he sprayed the inside of the home and then put a dust in the weepholes, which he explained is where many of the insects get into the house from, and then he even put down granulars in my yard! I've never had a pest control company do all that before! I signed up for their quarterly program and they are going to call me when it is time for my next service. Everything from scheduling to the convenience of being able to pay by credit card when he was done with the service was so great that I have already recommended this company to all my family and friends!
