Bug Out Reviews ( 219 )

  1. I like the communication. The tech always informs me of areas of concern and what he has done to address them. He also checks with me to find out if any pest control needs have arisen.

  2. They never came when they said they would. The last month of my year, because I canceled, they did not come out even though I had paid for that month. They also overcharged me and never gave me the money…never again

  3. Excellent service, I felt like the technician really cared and was anxious to please. Very thorough and professional. I definitely recommend!

  4. I love how easy it is! I never have to worry about a thing. Someone comes and services the house whether I’m home or not, my payment is auto drafted and I get to live with no bugs.

  5. Honestly couldn’t be happier with the service i get from Bug Out. They are quick and effective. I call them and they are quick to come out. Staff is always friendly.

  6. Very professional company and if I have a problem outside of my scheduled visit, they are right here to take care of it with no extra cost. The employees are very friendly and thorough.

  7. Always professional. Lawn looked great for 5 years we used them. We have sinced moved and no longer have access to their services. VERY PET FRIENDLY!

  8. Representing Bug Out, James Huggins has provided Outstanding Service and Professionalism which has been a factor for me being a customer for 28+ years. We recently purchased another home in the same area and fortunately, James services that location as well.

  9. hihi,
    The best customer service, home service period. Always nice, and are never rudie jerk faces. Alison is always a joy, and dude that comes to my house is always patient and courteous.

  10. The customer service is wonderful along with the quality pest/lawn service and best rates around. We’ve been a customer for years. I’ve shopped around and continue to stay with the company that my parents even had when we were kids.

  11. The technician that came to our house was very thorough and very professional! He took great care into looking into our issues and trying to resolve them!

  12. I requested irrigation service. Keith Hassell came out to the house last Thurs and Fri. and did the most outstanding job ever!! He fixed all my nozzles, repaired three sprinklers, redirected a lot of them, fixed a solenoid and valve, and …

  13. They always do a thorough job and listen to any concerns we have. We are notified in advance when BugOut will be stopping by. We’ve used them for many years and I would recommend them.

  14. Brian my technician is very professional. Always goes above and beyond my expectations. I would reccomend this company to everyone that is having problems with pest in or outside your home.

  15. Ever since I contracted Bugout Service I have seen nothing but positive improvement in the appearance of my lawn. I am so satisfied with their service that I have referred several neighbors and they also are very happy with the service..Thank You Bugout!!

  16. Jury is out on your lawn care service. Your technicians tell us one thing, but your follow through is not in synch. Bug control is outstanding. Follow up to calls leaves something to be desired.

  17. Very satisfied with their service. Friendly, trustworthy, hardworking employees have never made me feel nervous or uncomfortable. (This can happen to an elderly widow living alone.)

  18. My mother in law has been trying to cancel her service since January, 2020. To NO avail. Now that she’s gone, the family continues to try to cancel the service .. BUT they continue to call to “reschedule”. Unbelievable !!!!!!

  19. We wanted to get our house inspected for termites because I was worried when my older home’s floors started “squeaking. I called one company and they couldn’t get anyone out here for over a week. Then I called Bug Out on Arlington …

  20. The guys were courteous and appeared to have my best interest at heart. Pricing was reasonable. I have good peace of mind knowing that if I spot anything between services I can call and they will come out.

  21. Your Lawn Sevice Manager Terri and Irrigation Department Manager Don Smith were terrific in servicing us. They know where to get the expert advice and did it in a super fast fashion, we are very pleased with their services.

  22. I called last Thursday or Friday to set up an appointment to come give me an estimate on treating our lawn. I received a call Saturday morning, before 9:00 AM, wanting to set up an appointment. The appointment was set for today between …

  23. Bad diagnose on our yard. claimed it was freeze burn from winter. other neighbor’s yards didn’t have it though. yard is half dead. they would not work with us. See ya!

  24. We’ve been with BugOut about 15 years, in 2 different homes with different service techs. Every tech we have dealt with has been ready and willing to help and give us good advice when we have a bug issue.

  25. This is the worse company in the world. I would give money to Enron. They will take a year’s worth of pest control fees and act like they are treating your house and lawn, when in actuality, nothing is done. You will still have bugs and …

  26. I do recommend Bug Out to neighbors. I’m sick and tired of how neighbors neglect their properties and lawns making adjacent homes lose property value and have extra work done to keep up with the spread of lawn and garden infestations. Bug …

  27. My parents used Bug Out from the time we moved here in 1980- my mum was completely bug phobic and had been warned about Florida pests, but she never had to worry once she found this fantastic company. Naturally , I kept them on once I was a homeowner. Thanks Bug Out!!

  32. We were very pleased with the service of Bug Out! Our pests are gone, and Aaron, the customer service rep, was very knowledgeable and very patient with making sure we were satisfied before he left. I will definitely recommend Bug Out to all my friends!

  33. Brian who does our home in Fort Caroline area is always helpful and goes above and beyond ensuring our lawn is in tip top shape. We have two annoying dogs and he constantly tolerates their craziness.
    Thanks Brian! You are awesome at what you do!

  34. Worst service ever! Started on 20th of may the salesman scheduled 1st visit never showed at time that had been set, then I am asked what problem is with lawn. Then sent bill 10 days later after making initial payment for service. And now …

  35. If I were reviewing our interior pest control, this review would be very good based on the excellent service we have always received from Javier. But this is about Bug Out’s termite protection. We have had a bond with them since the house …

  41. We have used this company for 3 years now. Until recently we have had no complaints, service has been great. Last week when our monthly service was scheduled we had a new person come out. He treated the property next door by accident. When …

  42. Rob, the salesman was informative, professional a gentleman and polite. We could not ask for a nicer person. Gary was very neat on the house indoors and answered alot of questions. With plenty of flowers outside, he took care around …

  43. We Have Been Bug Out Customers for almost two years and needless to say our experience has only been getting worst with the service we have receive so far. When the exterminator comes we have to tell him where to go and spray instead of …

  44. Was told by sales guy that we could have the bees we have exterminated due to the fact we had already had a master bee keeper come out and say he was not able to get the queen. We paid 250 dollars to exterminate the bees and after paying …

  49. Melissa is our technician and has been since we moved to Florida in 1999. In fact Bug Out has been servicing this home since it was built in 1987. I just want to say Melissa is the friendliest, and thorough technician I have ever known. …

  50. Amazing experience, have been a customer for almost a year now. They take care of my family and my home in regards to any needs deemed reasonable.
