Mice & Rats
Report
Mice and rats may make popular pets, but as wild animals living in your home, they are a serious problem. Wild rodents are common carriers of disease and their waste can build up in a home leading to a significant problem. Additionally, they will invade your food storage, chew through wires, and create holes in boxes and walls. If the problem persists, not only will they live and breed in your home, they will also die there. Carpenter Ants
Report
When carpenter ants and other species invade a home, they can scare people, damage property, ruin food, and make an enormous nuisance of themselves. Tough and built for survival, these little creatures are tenacious, and they can be almost impossible to eliminate with conventional methods like traps, baits, and sprays.

Ms. Susie Carden called Dayton's office to thank us for the service we performed. She said that Dale Huff, tech, was very professional, patient, and kind. She wanted us know personally that he did a wonderful job and is an amazing employee. She was grateful for him taking the time to explain everything and answer all her questions. Ms. Carden's neighbor recently sold her home and lost over $3000.00 in termite treatments because the company she used didn't stand behind their treatment. She wanted to thank Dayton's personally for running a company of integrity and for the amazing service we provide.

Our technician Adam I believe was his name (he is from Michigan) is great. He always entertains all my questions and is very thorough applying the treatment. I do have to say their online support is horrible and we pay premium pricing but can't pay online is ridiculous. I try to pull up invoices and can never get logged in, the password resets never work.
The truth is that the company we actually contracted Daytons bought out and they had a great platform and I could pay online. I know this may sound petty but it's enough for me to consider changing companies just for that reason but right now it is not worth losing our technician. The moment that changes then we may go to a different company. I mean come on if you are unwilling to provide a simple online payment option to save a dollar it makes me wonder what else you will do to make $0.50 more cents. Again, tech is great Daytons brilliant penny pinchers not so much.

I can't review their quality or value yet because we just had our first service but everything else about their service was great. Derek even gave me some tips about handling bugs and wildlife while hiking and mountain biking since we are new to the area. We have ants in our house and he provides great insight on what the current ants were doing and what to expect over the next week. Great so far!

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! We have spent thousands yes THOUSANDS of dollars for treatment. We figured out a previous technician didn't properly treat us and it was always so convenient that treatment was needed shortly after our warranty expired. We have dealt with this problem for over a year now. Every time we call to express our concerns to a manager and give them a chance to make a wrong right Chelsea has a convenient excuse like management is gone or has a meeting.
We get told we will get a phone call. Has not once happened. Your home is your sanctuary, we are ready to burn ours! We trusted these people with our issue and it seems like all we have received is poor quality and unprofessional service. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. How much you want to bet management and Chelsea find a way to address us now that this review is made? Pathetic!
