I had Terminix come out because we had evidence of rodents in the garage and attic and the Bony Dog (RIP) was bringing fleas inside.
That was three months ago.
They came out for the next quarterly visit and informed us that we had evidence of rodents in the garage and attic (oh really?) and said that we would need to remove all insulation for $3,700, replace it with new rodent deterrent insulation ($3,700) and place exclusion measures ($2,700) to prevent further issues.
I obviously balked at the price, let them know that rodents were one of the reasons I called them in the first place and when asked, they couldn't even tell me if it was treated for them in the first place.
They offered a "free" glue trap and I asked why that wasn't placed originally, again they weren't sure. They then stated that the insulation work wasn't absolutely necessary because they would sanitize the existing stuff anyway with the exclusion work.
I sure as hell am not going to give them $10,200, but are the exclusion measures even necessary if they would have done their job and put traps or poison out in the first place?
