Great experience from start to finish! They were able to schedule a service call in a timely manner. The technician was very knowledgeable, explained all options. Nick removed a bird nest in a fan exhaust vent. He also installed a bird-resistant vent cover to deter them from entering again. Highly recommend!

The service delivered by this excellent technician, Nick, was efficient, fast, and well communicated. I’m glad he was able to squeeze me in on his busy schedule to remove the rats we had coming in as well as offer preventative measures we hadn’t thought about before. Glad I took the recommendation, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

I’ve used Ampest twice in the past few months, once for a raccoon in the attic. I was lucky enough to have Joe come out both times. He was attentive, communicated well, and did a great job both times. I won’t go anywhere else if I have animal issues again.

This group is amazing!! The tech DJ is fantastic!! He's a hoot and got all the small crevices in my home. They even came out and got rid of a bald faced hornets nest right away after my husband got stung. I have noticed a definite decrease in the pests in my home since they have started treatment. I will be using them for a long as they'll have me.

We would highly recommend AMPEST services. The office gal Jackie was very kind, professional and understood our concern and need for prompt service . Your technician Jeff was excellent . His knowledge , his experience and his kind mannerisms made us feel we were in good hands. Jeff was very detailed and he would not stop until he found the source of our problem . Thankfully , Jeff found the problem and fixed it. Thank you Jackie & Jeff for your excellent service. We are grateful & appreciative .

The office staff were very professional. The technician they sent out, Nick, was very kind and thorough. He was able to quickly diagnose our raccoon issue and come up with a plan to remove the animal and repair the area to prevent further issues. I highly recommend Ampest if you are having a wildlife issue.

A very professional and quick company. The office was very kind and helpful, and they sent out their technician Nick, and he was quick to diagnose the issue. He was even able to offer gap seal work to keep rodents out. Couldn’t recommend this company more.

Raccoons in attic! These guys are great.

We had a raccoon tear into our roof and get into the attic and eventually our walls! What a nightmare. We contacted another company and they worked the problem for almost two weeks with no results. We then switched to Ampest and Jeff came out assessed things and got the right trap into the right location. He checked the trap daily (unlike the other company) and in less than 4 days caught the raccoon that had taken up residence. Jeff was prompt, professional and calm (unlike me during this problem). This guy knows his stuff. Not happy with the raccoon but very happy with Jeff and Ampest.

I had a problem with squirrels in my attic crawl space. A wildlife professional was dispatched immediately upon me contacting them. He was able to catch the pregnant squirrel and her mate before she gave birth in my house. He was responsive, professional and got the job done in a timely manner. I paid to have the hole sealed up and he did a fabulous job with all of it. I would reccommend this company whoeheartedly. They were prompt and respectful of my property. I am truly a happy customer.

I had squirrels problem in my roof. Ampest was quick to deal with the problem and to temporary repair the roof problem. However the squirrels were given a taxi ride to a far away forest preserve....If I had my way those little pest would of been terminated the old fashioned way!!

Let me start by saying that I found Ampest through Google and I am glad that I did! I have been a loyal client for the past three years and Steve is the nicest and most professional person I could have asked for! I am about to call for my fall treatment and actually look forward to having Steve complete the A+ job once again! Don't hesitate and call Ampest, the customer service is top notch!

We have used Ampest twice this last year and have been very pleased with all aspects of their service. Timeliness and thoroughness are but two of the accolades I can share. I have multiple times recommended Ampest to friends and neighbors. Thanks to Ampest E&W Control

Had a vole problem in my backyard and called AmPest after being recommended by another family. They were able to come out quickly and Joe started the process right away and explained in detail what was going to happen. After a couple of weeks - it looks like the problem is under control. Price was right, customer service was above and beyond and most importantly there were results! I’d refer to anyone looking to take care of a pest problem! Great work!
