called because of noises heard in 3rd floor bedroom ceiling-we thought squirrels. We were told for inspection,setting traps and monitoring=$289. Tech got here and searched in crawl space around 3rd floor bedroom and found only bat droppings on one side of house- no squirrels. Went outside and looked up at roof-dormer for possible entrance site. He gave me a few ideas on how to fix problem, took check and left. No traps set, no monitoring. Later I see on web site-"Free Inspections"; called 800 #... "the free inspection is a drive-by only, and because tech went inside-it's $289." If the stated problem is in the attic, how can you tell with just a drive-by??? Time on site=1hr. Yes I would recommend--Use Someone Else!

Nowhere on our "local webpage" does it state that our office performs "Free Inspections" - if you read the entire section on the "Corporate Webpage" (which is where you found us) you would have found that this service is not available in all areas.
Your call was for a noise in the 3rd floor/attic which "you thought was squirrels". Obviously we would need to get into the attic to inspect - this could not be done with a drive by inspection.
It was explained to you that squirrels and bats are found in attics at this time of year. The fee for a squirrel problem was explained to you as you have stated; if there were squirrels traps would have been set and monitored under that fee). It ws also explained that if there is a "bat" problem the fee for inspection is still $289 and openings and evidence would be identified and a plan for removing them provided. You were provided with an "Animal Entry Worksheet" report (which was included in your inspection) indicating repairs needed to remove them from the structure - and that the inspection fee would be applied to this repair fee.
As you stated the technician was there for approximately 1 hour- which is why we do not perform "Free Inspections".
Free, "drive-by" inspections are usually only for measuring chimney caps, or looking at specific outside problems that do not require inside inspections, i.e. birds in a vent, and they are definitely not done on an appointment time.
