The most common concern with bed bugs is whether they transmit diseases. Although bed bugs can harbor pathogens in their bodies, transmission to humans is very unlikely. For this reason, they are not considered a serious disease threat. Their medical significance is mainly limited to the itching and inflammation from their bites. Corticosteroids and antihistamines may be prescribed to reduce allergic reactions, and antiseptic or antibiotic ointments to prevent infection. Infestations also may cause anxiety, paranoia, embarrassment, and loss of sleep.Proper preparation is a mandatory requirement for control to be effective. Dial-A- BedBug has a preparation sheet that will detail everything that will need to be done before our technician services your house. If a home is not properly prepared, the likelihood of successful control is not high. Although preparation may be difficult for some people (for example, seniors or handicapped individuals), it is essential for effective treatment, and thus in such cases family members, friends or social or charitable agencies may need to provide assistance.

Had an appointment, waited for hours in my apt and due to some ego trip from their call center (they told me i hang up on them which is totally untrue and quite frankly irrelevant), cancelled my appointment without even telling me. I found out when i called them. Completely wasted my half day and very rude customer service to boot.

I am so happy with the services I received from Dial-A-Bug. I was contacted by Dial-A-Bug, to confirm my appointment via phone. I received an appointment time that someone would be arriving between the hours of 1pm-5pm. At 2pm a worker by the name of Jay arrived to complete my services. Jay was very professional and polite. Jay inspected every area and access hole for rodents within my apartment.
He took his time reviewing each room and closet in my apartment to find access holes and then proceeded to seal them. Jay was very neat he did not leave any mess behind and he also provided other solutions to rid my home of rodents. I am pleased with the services Jay performed today and I would recommend his services and Dial-A-Bug to others in the future. Thank you Jay and Dial-A-Bug for your help & professional services.

Building management has an arrangement with this exterminator company. In addition to monthly visits for roach extermination, upon moving into the building earlier this year I have experienced bed bugs. Don't mind the fact that I did not know the building has a history of bed bugs, but I digress. I've had a total of three bed bug treatments and one roach treatment.
One bed bug treatment is supposed to last 12 weeks. While the technicians were nothing but respectful, the treatments just appeared not to work! Living in my apartment for less than 6 months however I've had the equivalent of 9 months worth of treatment.

My building management hired Dial-A-Bug to provide special services to my apartment after restoration work gave rodents access to my apartment. Having mice can be extremely invasive, overwhelming and even depressing. I had three maintenance workers try to resolve the problem with no luck. But after Dial-A-Bug serviced my apartment, no more mice! The Dial-A-Bug Tech (#62 James) arrived on time.
He walked into my apartment with an air of confidence that he would resolve the problem. He started his work by giving me safety instructions pertaining to the solutions he would be applying. Then he gave me an overview of his plan of action. His communication made the experience professional and comforting. He proceeded to work and was extremely thorough.
He checked every nook and cranny in my apartment for holes. He even had a small mirror with an extendable arm to exam hard to reach places. Within 15 minutes I heard him say "I found the point of entry." Music to my ears! He finished up and concluded his services by sharing information about the sealant dry time. Since Dial-A-Bug's service, the mice are completely gone! I feel comfortable in my own home again. I am extremely grateful to Dial-A-Bug and to Tech number 62.

I called them to service a three unit house for roaches with one unit being the source of the problem. I spoke to the tech before he even started the job and explained the situation. When i tell you he looked like he didn't want to be bothered. he dabbed a tiny dot of a gel in 3 spots and he was done. I told my tenants to empty cabinets and all he did was a quick spray in each and he was out the door. I called the main office back and all she could say is the tech did what he was supposed too. I wished i took a video of it because this was the worst service ever.

My management had dial a bug call me to set up an appointment. At first there was some confusion about the date of service. I spoke with Casey and it was straightened out. Peter was the man he checked every where. Plugged up holes, moved my refrigerator and stove. He gave me some good tips about dealing with rodents. Thank u Casey and Peter, I appreciate u!

The service I received was provided by the management of my building. If I paid I would of contacted better business bureau. The exterminators that arrive are aggressive, careless, rude absolutely horrendous. I had the first technician yell at me to leave my apartment. I felt so uncomfortable leaving him there with my stuff the only solution I had was to reluctantly give him 20 bucks.
After he received the money his tone and demeanor changed. No more than 15 minutes of labor they spray and leave. The preparation they make you do is specific and time consuming removing electrical outlets from the walls move all your furniture to center of the room. It's literally moving all over again. For 15 mins of spraying. Avoid at all costs.
If I could I would of payed out of pocket and got a real professional company. *Be weary the staff are bullies calling me to claim I didn't "prepare" enough. I was getting notices from my management I would be held responsible about my neighboring apartments. The audacity of this company. avoid avoid avoid
