Chris is a pro! We heard early-morning noises in a wall and ceiling. Within hours, Chris, ala Sherlock Holmes, inspected the attic and roofline and set up a series of tests in the attic to detect the culprit. Success! We never heard another noise. Chris knows his stuff! We are relieved and completely satisfied customers - and quite a bit smarter now, thanks to his sharing info about creature habits and habitats. Thank you Chris snd pcawildlife!

We had bats in our attic a man came out to my house and gave us a quote we paid $150 just for him to tell us we had bats which we already knew anyway, he said he'd come back the next Friday at night and put a one way up the bats wouldn't be able to get back in. we paid over a $1000 and he never showed I had to call again and get back on the schedule. Finally someone comes and drills this thing to our roof.
And this thing sat there for months I had to call AGAIN to get it removed the owner had no clue we weren't taken care of. So two teenagers come out to take it down our roof is steep and they are afraid so they call someone else he comes and does who knows. Then fast forward to June 2020 less than a year after they "took care of the bats" we are on our deck watching a movie and bats come flying out of the same spot.
So I call the guy who calls me back Monday and sends the same guy out to put a one way up again and guess what it's still there now in March of 2021 almost a whole other year. What a joke don't waste your time.

Unprofessional customer service & treatment, treated unfair and accused. received wrong termite treatment, ruined new floors, never responds back I reached out to Pest Control Authority for termite treatment. I signed the contract for termite in the affected area. The service I signed up and paid for was not what on the contract. The man drilled holes in my floor, spilled the chemicals on my floor, which removed the coloring.

The gentleman who came out to my house seemed very professional. So professional in fact that he gave me two estimates for two different services and the total was close to $7,000. He said there was an adult raccoon in my attic and 4-6 babies. He gave me and my husband an impressive list of clients his company has which includes most of the big buildings in downtown Charlotte. This is when we thought to ourselves, "Run!" He was also dismissive about mom and pop wildlife exclusion companies during this time in our economy when all those small shops are trying to survive. Anyway, I did call several other companies and the mom and pop I went with charged me less than 10% of the estimate I got from Pest Control Authority.
My advice is to shop around and make sure you get a guarantee. UPDATE: In response to owner's comment, he texted me and I did text back saying that I would not change my review and there was no need to talk about it since the work that needed to be done was already done by another company that was fairly priced. Apples to Apples: That raccoon is gone and all the openings are closed.

PCA did a great job. They were able to come out quickly when I wanted to schedule an inspection. They did SUCH a thorough job inspecting my whole house and making recommendations (without being pushy)--one of the name-brand national competitors didn't even step foot inside my house before trying to spray! I signed up for a preventative maintenance plan and JD did a great job with my first one - explaining what to expect and what each step was for. So happy I chose them and get to keep using them!

Great job Pest Control Authority! Great service, professionalism & fair pricing. Had Chris out today to check the house for squirrel damage. He spent 1 1/2 hours combing the place, inside and out at No Charge. We have used them in the past and they have gotten the job done.
