Reviews of Varment Guard Wildlife Services

Brianne Schwanitz

We suspected a groundhog had taken up residence under our deck, and I talked to several wildlife removal companies before deciding to go with Varment Guard. I liked their up-front pricing, and the fact they didn't charge per animal caught like some other companies. After the standard 10 days of trapping, I hadn't seen any sign of the groundhog so assumed we were mistaken and had Varment Guard remove the traps (as we kept catching raccoons and opossums instead of our target). Almost immediately thereafter, we spotted the groundhog again and Varment Guard came out the very next day at no additional cost to reset the traps, and we finally got it. My technician Nate was professional and responsive, and I appreciated that he was upfront about the fact that exclusion options wouldn't work well with the layout of our deck, rather than trying to talk me into an additional service. Traps were serviced in a timely fashion, and if we ever have any other wildlife issues (likely, as our yard backs up to a wooded area), I won't even bother calling other companies.

Customer service was helpful and clear. They told me Patrick would contact me to schedule, and he did contact me within a few hours. I did not get back to him until the next morning, but he came to my home within a few hours of that. He inspected our attic, identified where the birds were coming, talked to me about price before doing any removal/repair. Once I authorized the work at the price, he did it quickly and even provided photos for context. He was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable.

Brittany Torelli

Our technician Kyle was great! Timely, professional, courteous, and communicative, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. After using a different provider previously, I can say with confidence that this was a superior service across the board. Thanks again Kyle!!

Da Yeon Ryoo

Seth came out and evaluated our house for rodent entry. He was on time, and very very helpful! He did a thorough evaluation and gave us realistic quotes. I very much appreciate Varment Guard!

Katy Fleming

Varment Guard Wildlife Services and their associated company, Plunketts Pest Control have provided superior service. I have hired many pest control services in the past, and none have come close to them in communication, reliability, quality of service and ease of working with the contractors. They don't stop until they get the job done!

Chad Foisset

I received a call-back within two hours of my contact, and a technician had traps in my yard about four hours later. Very happy so far with everything about their service, so I'm hoping to be free of the skunk(s) holding our house hostage soon.

Ed

The service we had, (Adam was our service provider) was primarily to exterminate mice that were in our attic. Adam was excellent, came back to change the traps and rebait and recently came back again to check on the traps and remove them. At that time there were no evidence of mice eating the bait, nor of mice so the first round of bait got them I think. Adam also baited the outside of the house with 2 bigger traps for mice/voles and that had a lot of hits as well. I would use Adam and the company again in a heart beat as they were timely, efficient, knew their business and I think the cost was appropriate.

Beverly Shaw

Addison was friendly and competent. He took a photo of the opening. He explained the plan and costs clearly, including cost to repair the hole. Addison placed two traps on the roof. I felt very comfortable with him.

PAT WILSON

Fast and thorough service. Came back out at no charge and added a bit more ground fencing around deck where a new entry hole had appeared. Will use again if necessary.

Eric French

The Varment Guard/Plucketts team trapped and removed 10 squirrels from our attic and sealed off space/repaired animal damage in less than a week. Very professional and excellent communication. The service is not cheap--but I feel very satisfied with the work and the excellent service we received. Everyone we dealt with did excellent work.

Don S

Super job 5 star ⭐️ service !!😁 Friendly and very knowledgeable …

Linda M. Berger

We had a bat infestation our attic, partly due to a bad re-roofing job. Brennen of Varment Guard did a thorough inspection, came up with a plan to take care of all our possible entry-points, and executed the plan with great attention to detail, once approved. We would highly recommend him.

Meg Witt

I really struggle to understand how these guys are rated so well. We had an inspection done June 22nd after we heard birds in our roof. They came out, told us the birds got out and gave us a quote to fix the soffit in two areas on the side and back of the house. The tech said he'd be out next day to complete this. On Saturday, the 25th, I was informed by my roommate that no one ever came out to complete the repairs. I was out of town at the time but he confirmed with pictures thst no repairs had been completed. I reached out to the tech who did the inspection and he said he would be out that afternoon if the other tech couldn't make it. I thought that would be the end of it. I was wrong. Upon getting home the following Saturday, July 2nd, I noticed there were still gaps in the roof, indicating service had never been completed. The only communication I had received since my last phone call was on June 27th, an email that there was a piece of soffit that had been delayed, but that service would be completed "tomorrow" which logically meant service would be done on the 28th. Since it was apparent that it hadn't actually been done, I called on the next day that the office was open. July 5th. When I called, they tried to inform me that the tech in question, Ty Ashbaugh, had attempted to call me three times in the past week. This was a blatant lie, I had access to my phone the entire time I was out of town and not once did I receive a phone call or any sort of communication from him. They told me they'd send a message for him to reach out to me that day. I never got a phone call. I called again today, July 6th. Informed them that no one called. The girl on the phone agreed to send a message both to Ty, the tech, and his supervisor, with the promise I would get a phone call the same day. At the time of writing this review, I still have not received a call back. I am extremely frustrated at this point, and contemplating canceling service altogether. But I really do not want birds getting back in the roof. At a loss here. After this, I doubt I will ever work with them again. Do not recommend at all. Update: I've been really busy this week and haven't actually had the chance to update my review until today. I did get a call from the regional supervisor, Chris, in regards to our situation. He agreed to personally come out and complete the service at no charge, in exchange for raising my review. Service was completed this past Tuesday. While still unhappy with the situation to begin with, Chris was very nice about the whole thing and he fixed the roof up pretty well, but buyer beware, if you face a similar situation to mine and you do post a complaint, they do everything they can to encourage clients to change ratings to boost their overall image online.

Dublin Buckeye

Very impressed with Varment Guard. Zack was knowledgeable and professional while answering all of my questions. Would use this company again and request Zack as the service person.

Wesley Hahn

Seth was very thorough and easy to work with. I feel confident he'll get the job done well. Great work Seth!

Bret Gregersen

We have had a constant problem with woodpeckers making holes in the side of our house and then other birds living in them later. Zack Oakley solved our problems! not only did he patch the holes in our house, he also put up reflective objects to deter the woodpeckers. On top of that, the first time he came there were still young birds in the nests and he both identifies that for us and then came back 3 weeks later to deal with the problem since we didn't want him to remove the young birds. Now that is service!

Lee Ann

The Varment Guard Guys did a great job and it was an awful mess in the attic from raccoons being up there. The guys were Friendly, thorough, careful, and informative. Home insurance helped a lot too! The guys even brought in a shop vac to clean up any stray insulation. So happy it is finished.

Jason Arcio

Good service, honest and efficient. Seth, a very good technician, came out to inspect our home for a suspicious scratching sound. We assumed it was a mouse, but Seth immediately verified the issue and addressed it. He was very professional, concise, and kind. He was thorough and a joy to be around. I definitely recommend this service.

Ena Boles

If I could give this tech Evan 10 stars, I would!! During the inspection he was very friendly and informative!! He showed me what was going around our home and explained how and what he would do to take care of the problem!! He made me feel very at ease with the process which I really appreciated. The day of service he came out and Within 30 minutes or so he got 4 pups and her momma out of our pillar!! ! One and done!! Great job! I’m so glad I went with this company!!

Gus Teller

I just can't speak highly enough about these guys. I called Varment Guard after using two other companies. The initial company I used found evidence of bats in my home and claimed to have mitigated the problem. Nonetheless, we continued to hear noises in the wall behind my bedroom. I was told my the initial company it had to be a mouse and was likely getting in at the foundation. I never saw evidence of this and almost two years passed as I was trying to figure out where this mouse could consistently be getting in. After the noise continued, I called another service that claimed it was squirrels but found no evidence of them getting in and we never captured any after they set traps in the attic. I finally reached out to Varment Guard hoping a third set of eyes might find something. Jake A. came out and a hole that had never been sealed during the bat mitigation. Rather than simply take my money to repair the hole he recommended that I reach out to the original company with the pictures he took. This is what I did and they came out and acknowledged they had missed this spot and sealed it. Jake was great and the inspection was very reasonably priced and completely worth it considering he found something missed by two other companies. If I had to do it over again I would have started with Varment Guard.

Hubbel Rickel

After dealing with Flying Squirrels in our house, we got tired of it and called Varment Guard. We are in Western, PA and fortunate for us, Varment Guard services our area. Cody came out and immediately identified about five places they could be getting in. He gave us an estimate on all work needed to perform exclusion and we agreed to it. Throughout the entire process, he was very professional and very detailed in his explanation of what he was going to do. There were no surprises whatsoever. We would not hesitate to call him again.

Ahmae Messersmith

Friendly and professional. Quick service and explained everything so it was easy to understand.

Hannah VanMeter

Matt was incredible. as soon as he came on site he addressed our problem and found a solution that we had been seeking for 3 months. He addressed all of my questions and developed a plan for us to receive immediate help. He really seemed invested in helping us!

Christy Harris

She is awesome!!! We called and she came right out to remove the snakes from the traps. The trap was reptile friendly and did not kill or harm them.

Erik Schmidt

I've been depending on the team at Varment Guard for years. I have a rental property downtown, and have had a massive squirrel problem since day 1. They get to you fast, the prices for the kind of great service you receive is unrivaled, and the daily reports they send show just how hard they're working for you. Varment Guard is on my speed dial, and I don't call anyone else. I don't normally leave reviews, but I just had to after the service I've received over the last couple days. I had a raccoon puncture and enter my roof, leaving a massive hole. Not only did they get to me quickly, but they've been very helpful making sure they do everything they can to help minimize the moisture into the house while we're still trying to make sure there isn't any more critters in there. The roofing companies I've been in contact with, and who have been to the house wouldn't even give me an option....but Jared and his VG team stepped up. They've been an integral part of helping me dissect the problem, even writing a report to help with my insurance claim. This is way "above and beyond", and I couldn't be more appreciative.

Lynette Sowell

We heard a strange rustling overhead in our bathroom, only to go outside to see that a bird was peeking out of the bathroom vent on the outside of the house. Called Varment Guard to to inquire of offered services and set up an appointment. Our service technician, Seth, was prompt and very professional. He explained everything that could occur and explained the remedies. The provided service was great. I'm grateful that our "issue" was resolved very quickly and the remedy reduces future risks. THANK YOU and THANK YOU Seth!

Kasey Burt

I am thoroughly pleased with my experience. Dan was able to assess the situation and was very honest about the fact that he didn’t think there were animals in my roof! He monitored for a few days and once he was sure there was no activity, he put a temporary patch on the hole in the roof until my new roof was installed. He even prorated the work so that I received money back since there were no animals in there. I appreciate his honesty and efficiency! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Debbie Lowe

We had birds in our chimney; they are protected so we had to wait for them to fly away. In the process of waiting for the birds to leave, Helena came out twice with no hesitation to check the chimney. Once they left the company installed a needed chimney cap. Nate and Helena very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this company.

Tayler Johnstone

We had a couple of squirrels in the ceiling of our clubhouse/office. Dan came out in no time to address the situation. Not only did he show a sense of urgency but he was very professional and knowledgeable on what he was doing. Give Dan a raise!!!!

Chris Manganello

Zack was great! Arrived within the window he said he would, and after a brief conversation about which vent was the dryer vent (can't be covered per fire code), he got right to work getting out bird nest material and checking for airflow. He even identified a vent I hadn't noticed on the side of the house and offered to put a guard on that one as well for the previously discussed "guard-only" fee. Would absolutely call Varment Guard again, although I hope I never need to!

Steve Freehauf

Zack has been great! Very quick to respond and knowledgeable! Outstanding customer service!!

Rhonda Holehouse

The technician, Jake, does an awesome job. He is very patient about explaining the process of using the traps. He listens very well when we got more moles and took care of the issue. I would highly recommend using Jake.

Carolina Bettencourt

Justin was amazing! We found a snake in our bedroom and Justin came out to do a survey of the house. He was very thorough, looked on the inside, basement and exterior and was very knowledgable and definitely gave us piece of mind. He went above and beyond walking us through and answering all our questions. Our appointment was scheduled from next day, which was great. I highly recommend this company and the technician Justin. Thank you!

Jocelyn Armstrong

The service was reasonably priced and thorough. Dan provided excellent customer service throughout the monitoring and trapping. He is knowledgeable and seems passionate about his work. Dan provided regular updates and took time explaining the process and gave context for the methods used. He was polite and understanding. Dan is a great representative of the company and helped me feel at ease during a very challenging situation.

Nichole Coffey

We had birds that burrowed into our exterior wall and build a nest inside the wall. Varment Guard was able to come out same day for a consult and even take care of the problem on the spot. They even patched up the hole the birds left behind. Very pleased with the service we received. Everyone was professional and easy to work with.

Emily Wright

They were very effective at getting the squirrels out of my attic. Cody was the tech who came out every time and I appreciated that it was always the same person. He changed the configuration of the traps when there were no catches the first few days and gave me daily email updates and sometimes phone calls when there were pertinent updates. He was very friendly and easy to understand and I appreciated his explanations. The final step was to install the barrier to keep future squirrels out and it looks even better than before. Would definitely use their service again if I ever have the misfortune of squirrels breaking into my house again.

George Faerber

Great experience. Clearly communicated pricing. Very professional staff. Was very pleased and while I hope I don't need services like this in the future I will happily call again. Also, the level of technology ... customer portal, esignatures, etc was great. Very suitable for the services. Thank you. Had trapping and exclusion service. Highly recommend. A+

Martin Schmidt

Like our previous experience with Plunkett’s, Matt was friendly and efficient. Our problem was resolved within hours of my call. Animal-carcass removal isn’t cheap, but Plunkett’s price is as low as any and way less than some.

Bertha Daniel-Nichols

I was able to see that that Trap did catch wildlife animal what looked like a possum on my security system.

Hannah Trube

I had an extremely positive experience working with Varment Guard, and specifically with our technician Dan. He was professional and very nice. We had a very stubborn squirrel that did not want to go into the initial traps, so Dan came up with another option, and even came out on the weekend to check the new trap set-up. After all the squirrels were caught (turned out there were 4!) Dan repaired the soffit, and it looks like there was never an issue. From start to finish the customer service exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Kathleen LeMay

***UPDATE*** This afternoon, I had two technicians come to my home to look at the damage done in the garage by the animal. They looked in the garage at the damage, and also got on the roof and were able to find out that squirrels were chewing their way into my attic and getting through the crawlspace and wall. I was told this should have been inspected initially. After doing the inspection, the traps were moved to the attic to catch any squirrels that may be there. They then offered to repair our roof and the areas the squirrels chewed through, waiving the charge of the roof repair due to not identifying the problem sooner. They were very friendly and helpful, and I greatly appreciate them fixing the situation. This visit showed me how they get great reviews! __________________________________________________ I called Varment Guard after waking to find an animal had gotten into our garage in the middle of the night, chewing the weather stripping around the door to our kitchen and the base of our back entrance to the garage. I had mentioned that we had squirrels in our attic/crawlspace above the main part of the house in the past, and wasn't sure if squirrels were getting in above the garage (different crawlspace...we live in a split level home.) The following day, a technician came out and placed two traps on the opposite side of our home from the garage. After a few days and no catches, I called to speak with someone...saying I wanted to be able to talk with the technician and show them where the animal had been. I had not met the technician setting the traps. They left message with the technician, and I never heard from him. The traps remained in the same place. No catches. A few days later I called again, expressing my frustration with this. They charge you over $400 up front for services. I had already paid in full and nothing was getting done. The technician called me as he was stopping by my house that day. I missed the call, and he didn't leave message. He moved the traps towards the garage, but nowhere near any potential entry points (the place the animal came through the drywall into my garage was in the rear, this was in the front). When I called and spoke with someone in the office, I asked about a refund if nothing was found or caught and was told they don't usually do refunds. Meaning the technician can catch 10 animals or 0...and they will charge you the same. I am very frustrated with my experience and am no closer to knowing what got in my garage and where.

Had these folks install a couple of roof vent cages after a squirrel issue, for the life of me I could not find a reliable company to install them. The cages look excellent on my home, I was so afraid of them being an eye sore. Our tech was Johnny was fantastic, they were able to install them the next day after we approved the quote! Thank you

Shukri Khalif

This company did a great job removing geese from our mosque premise. Mr. Adam was respectful, timely and did the work efficiently.

George Denino

I was extremely happy with the company's quick response and Jake's thorough examination, assessment, and honest recommendation regarding the large hole next to the foundation of our house and the many small holes elsewhere in our yard.

matthew jivanjee

Scott is definitely the "exception" not the rule. Very professional, polite, courteous and knowledgeable. Scott made sure we understood every part of every description of service quoted and purposed. Plunkett's is the best always!

Ross Kramer

The team was very personable and explained everything well. Would highly recommend them to everyone!

Jay Mazzarella

I’m from the Cleveland area and had an issue with Rats coming up through my busted sewer pipe, and into my basement floor area. I was simultaneously trying to get both issues corrected as it was imperative to protecting my home. Justin Weisent was the rep on the job. He used his quick thinking and extensive knowledge to come up with a plan of attack. It worked to perfection and we were able to bag a large rat within the first couple days of trapping. It was timed up perfectly with my sewer fix. I highly recommend Justin and this company for any Varment issues you may have.

Jennifer Wilder

Vament Guard has the best prices in town. They provided quick service; they were out here within 24 hours of me calling. Clayton was my technician. He took the time to talk with me beforehand about my issue. He was very thorough, professional, and helpful. I also worked with Jared and appreciate the great customer service he provided. Varment Guard was also the only company I called that gave me a 5 year warranty. Overall I was very satisfied and would recommend them.

Tom Timcho

Successful removal of skunk. Nate, the tech, was courteous, professional and answered all my questions.

Cathy Carrigan

There was something up in the crawl space above garage. I received immediate attention, same day visit. That is very important to me since I never had any kind of experience in my house before like this. I was a nervous wreck! Justin was extremely polite and professional. Justin inspected the crawl space, went up on the roof and checked out the entire condo. He was very thorough. He monitored the space for a couple days where he thought they might be coming in. Seems to be ok now. I am referring to my neighbors and all my friends. Once again sincere thanks to Varment Guard and to Justin!! I know these guys put in long days and really care about solving the issues. Customer Service A+

Dan Conroy

Dan was great in helping us get rid of our squirrel and raccoon problem. He was able to quickly identify the entry points in our roof, make repairs to funnel the animals out a single hole, and then trapped two squirrels and a raccoon. Dan checked the gender and confirmed that they were all males and that we did not have to worry about any babies in the walls. The patches that he put up look great and have sealed away any other wildlife from getting in. Dan gave us constant updates throughout the two weeks that he serviced our home and followed up with phone calls when he needed to discuss new steps. Dan was great and he would be the first person I would call if I had a pest problem again.

Steve Carmichael

I had a bird building a nest inside my 2nd floor fan vent, and throughout the whole process from inquiry to removal, the communication and response time was fantastic. Dan, went out of his way to make sure I knew when he would be there, even getting out earlier than promised and kept me informed throughout the process. I have used other services for other problems in the past, but this experience was night and day different and I will be back again if and when I have more critter problems.

Logan McCaffrey

Appointments scheduled within the days/week of call!! They are on the ball!! The service is amazing!! Mike was professional, friendly and very thorough. Great customer service all the way around!! Highly recommend!!!

Jose Carlos Monroy

Giving an update on my review as their Manager Jared Miller contacted me after learning of our experience from the previous technician and came to our home and re-inspected and cleaned and sanitized the inside vent. I was impressed by the service recovery of Jared and his sincere effort to make sure their company gets the job done right and I told him now I can confidently say and recommend Varment guard to our friends and neighbors. Thanks JM! Prompt initial service, technician came the same day I requested a service, but I would not recommended work to my friends, Technician came and put a cover on the vent and removed nest inside the vent, was out the door in about 20 mins and my wife told me it doesn't look like technician deodorizes or disinfects the vent as advertised in the service as technician was only carrying a trash bag. Contacted Gwyn in customer service and asked if tech was able to disinfect and deodorize the inside vent as tech found a dead bird inside, tech said he only cleaned the outside. I mentioned my concern that I think it's more important to disinfect the inside especially if there was dead bird. Gwyn said she'd ask the tech to call me and if he needs to come again, I said that would be good but I didn't receive any call back even after my email that we already paid the invoice and haven't received a call yet. Then one of our good friends said, they had birds in their vent too a while ago and hired Scram Pest Control, and told me that the first time the tech came to their home, he sealed outside vent but put a one way tube so if there was any other bird inside, will have a chance to get out, cleaned and disinfect the inside vent then came back after about two weeks to closed and cover their vent permanently. Made me wonder as Varment tech closed the vent permanently right away and if there were other birds still inside, what would happen, especially there was no follow up from Varment guard. Scram Pest control costs a bit more but with the type of work and service they perform, I would recommend them to our friends and relatives next time.

William Watts

We had several moles throughout our yard, and Varment Guard worked endlessly to ensure they got every one of them. They were very diligent and hard working at coming back several times to ensure they got all of moles, and continued to communicate with me throughout the process. They were professional and dedicated to ensuring my satisfaction. I would work with them again.

Kristin Leonard

Zack and the team at Varment Guard are excellent! They respond quickly, listen carefully to your needs and expectations, and find resolutions to any issue you are having. They stand behind their work and aren't satisfied until you are. We will continue to use them for any and all our needs! Thank you Varment Guard! With much appreciation, Mike & Kristin Leonard

Derek Wynn

After a misunderstanding of what the service was I was receiving, the service has been fantastic. Very quick responsiveness on the issue I was having and they went above and beyond to make it better. Jared Miller was the person working with me and has been fantastic to work with. Thanks for fixing everything quickly. A returning customer has been earned

Erin Barstad

Great service! Justin was hardworking and personable. He solved the great ceiling mystery of 2020 quickly and professionally. (It was a family of raccoons.) He even found more in our barn. We are very happy with the service we received. Thanks Justin!

sandy irwin

I don't know value because i didn't call around but to me the value was that neither I nor an older family member had to do the work that Adam did. He was a great worker-- friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating ,and I was comfortable having him in my home. He cleaned many years of bird's nests out of the attic.

Pamela Norman

The home office sent their representative, Tony, out very quickly. Tony has been here before and actually helped me with an issue at my last home. He is extremely polite and professional and is great about answering questions and doing careful work.

Private Please

Had exclusion services performed by Dan from Plunkett's Pest Control to remove squirrels and bats. Dan was knowldgable, polite, informative, accommodating and efficient. He also recommended and installed a product called RidgeGuard to help prevent critters coming through roof ridges venting space. I think that Plunkett's pricing is fair and reasonable. The squirrel actually gnawed its way in through a rotting piece of wood along the house right below the 21-year old roof line. Along with the humane traps, Dan also installed a patch over the squirrel's access point to last until my scheduled roof replacement the following spring. Dan was also accommodating and helpful after the new roof was installed. He was very helpful in assuring that the RidgeGuard product that was removed for the roofing job was properly done, and that it met warranty standards. As it turned out, after the completion of the roof, Dan added several more screws at proper, closer intervals per RidgeGuard installation specs, and he renewed the Plunkett 5 year warranty on the product and its installation. I was very pleased by that and am now resting assured that critters will have a very hard time getting back in! I am grateful for Plunkett's, Dan and the roofers for that. Please remember to always be humane and concerned about the critters in your yard and in how any that may get into your home are removed. 2021-0924) Called again re: squirrels finding their way into weather guard area over drain spouts. Dan came out next day, surveyed drain spout areas around the home, isolated the point of access and quickly made repairs needed. Again, work was done quickly, efficiently, and effectively. Dan provided before and after pictures. I'm very happy, and relieved.

Cedric Evans

Outstanding service. for catching critters. We caught a raccoon within the 1st 2 or 3 days of the service. And, this has been an ongoing issue with this particular piece of rental property, for years. Take my advice, don't do-it-yourself leave it to the professionals.Thank you so much.

Aarons1

Personable, professional, very thorough concerned help, also very very reachable and responsive team to deal with possum infestation! Charlie is trustworthy, professional and shows true concern, as well as humor, which I need when dealing with my personal varmint eradication! Very much appreciate the services you have been providing!!!

Sarah Knapp

Varment Guard is a very professional and kind company. We had a very serious issue with raccoons coming down our chimney and entering our house. They did a great job making me feel safe and not as scared. Ryan is especially considerate and updated me everyday on what was going on. I highly recommend this company!

Katie Neely

Great customer service and our service person, "Jake" did an awesome job at getting the critters out of our home safely and efficiently. I appreciate the work they do...THANK YOU! I'd recommend them to anyone who needs their help.

Robert Payne

We had Varment Guard come to our residence because of pest issue. They were very professional and explaining what they were going to do in resolving our problems. Our technician Helena was very patience with all my questions and was polite and pleasant. We recommend this company to family and friends.

Jimmy J

I called Varment Guard because I needed to have a bird trapped. Not only was the price quoted reasonable but the service tech, Adam, was timely and professional. Fair pricing and great customer service! I would definitely recommend.

Lisa Lindsay

Our Technician Heleina is the absolute best. She is working very hard to identify how the squirrels are coming and going. She is diligent. assesses the situation fully every time she comes to the house. We feel so lucky to have her working on our job.

Martez Brown

I have used Varment guard on two separate occasions. My service tech was very knowledgeable in his craft and helped me with my raccoon issues on both occasions. Great company with well trained employees. Would definitely recommend varmnet guard to anyone with rodent issues!

Dan Yang

Revision of the review: This service was willing to come back to work with us to re-set traps around the property.

Michelle Ricard

Great service! Quick to respond and call with updates. Mike was superior in his knowledge compared to all other companies I had out for estimates. He spotted the issue right away while other companies did not. And of course, resolved my pest issue without any issues. Thanks Mike!

Richard Frehs

So far (2nd trip), so good! One opossum and 1 raccoon trapped. Our technician, Trapper Dan is the best! Very friendly and professional. Company has been easy to work with. Seems to be reasonably priced once you know what is involved. Looking forward to trapping two more raccoons tonight!

Tammy Baughan

The technician was friendly and knew what he was doing. The only difficulty was that the technician that came out to fix the problem was not the same technician that diagnosed the problem and there was some confusion about what needed to be done and how much it would cost. All was resolved with a call to the original technician. The work was performed well and I would use Varment Guard again for any similar problems.

Victor H

We had a mouse issue in our basement. The Technician (Lee) was great! He answered all my questions, sealed various entry points, and really took his time to determine the root cause of the issue. I'll definitely use them again if needed.

Bill Olson

I had birds in a bathroom vent, and since they were unwilling to pay rent, Plunkett's Varment Guard helped with the eviction. Zack went above and beyond to help rid our home of the birds. Zack has also helped to keep other unwanted critters out our home by putting a barrier under our porch. I highly recommend Zack and the team at Plunkett's to help you with keeping out, or removing unwanted visitors (animals... I don't think they will help with humans).

Very professional! Immediate sending of proposal after my call. Traps laid within 24 hours. Follow up service daily. Proposal details were clear with price.

Tasha Mac

Where do I begin....The research for a reputable company is not easy being an out if state landlord. The google reviews told me all I needed to know to go with Plunketts. Tenants were having problems with mice and I needed an appointment ASAP. No worries got a appointment next day and a detailed inspection report with a phone call from Pete the next day. Pete was very professional and knowledgable about the subject matter. He even went above and beyond to fix the problems. The tenants were educated on the subject matter and how to prevent the problems going forward. Plunketts rescheduled for a follow-up on the matters and i'm sure the problem with the tenant window A/C unit not being properly secured on the third floor and the holes around the connector from the A/C unit to home were the problems....Pete went around the entire double including inside and on every floor to ensure their were no issues with gaps/holes as an entry point. I appreciate his honesty and letting me know the problem was not as bad as I had thought and letting me know what I needed to do and how he can assist....Pete helped me out alot and I feel comfortable referring the company and Pete to others....

Janet DeRoberts

I give high marks to Varment Guard. 5 star review for sure. Derek was extremely friendly, prompt and helpful with an issue I had been battling for a while. I'd recommend this company in a heart beat. Thanks again, Derek for all of your help this morning!

otto beatty

I recently had the opportunity to refer Varment Guard to a close friend and assist him with the coordination of services, because he was out of the country. Varment Guard's customer service, consideration of busy schedules, willingness to explain methods/pricing, and the whole experience was top flight. The result was achieved in a short period of time. Jim and his team of professionals were great. Whether it be rodents, insects, or bed bugs, I highly recommend Varment Guard.

Gabi Maier

Zack Oakley has been very helpful while dealing with this squirrel issue! He has let me know everything he was going to do. Zack took the time to tell me about the two different traps used and answered all my questions thoroughly. Excellent service! I will be using you guys for any future pest issues! -Gabi Maier

Mark Lowe

I left varment guard temporarily or a less-expensive group. I am very happy that I returned. They have always been there for me. If I needed them to come back for any reason they were more than happy to. I would recommend them to anyone.

James Stegmayer

Dan Sylvester did an outstanding job. Professional and courteous, very knowledgeable. Also followed the COVID-19 protocols properly. He was a pleasure to work with, and got the job done effectively and efficiently.

Yang Lu

Update Review: Mr. Austin Ford and Mr. Brock Rolsten helped me with my problem. After the first review (which was a One-Star) M r. Rolsten reached out to me quickly and clarifyed all the misunderstandings and miscommunications. He also helped me to set additional traps. I was very frustrated when the raccoon was on the loose but finally the patience paid off. The trap he set caught the raccoon! He will help me fix my soffit later. Finally nightmare is gone!

Liz Rader

I love Plunkett's Pest Control quick response. I called yesterday with concern about Japanese Beetles returning on my bushes and they scheduled a tech to come out today to treat my bushes plus do a thorough inspection. The company provides great communication and customer service.

Sherry Mitchell

Even though I was not happy with the results of the search for a dead animal, I am very pleased with the follow-up. I appreciate Derrick and Jake coming out to take a second look, and providing additional cleanup service. They made every effort to have a satisfied customer, and I really appreciate that! Thank you Derrick and Jake!

Garrett Russell

Great service! Loved the guys who serviced my residence. Very helpful and very willing to share their knowledge about the behavior of the animals so I can possibly do my own trapping in the future. Thanks boys!!! Strongly recommend this company if you prefer professionalism.

Olivia Kight

Efficient, kind and outgoing are the words I would use to describe Derek Beaver! I have had continuous problems with some little critters and nothing has helped- no matter what I tried! When I told him about my situation, he immediately said he would help. He worked with my schedule and now I don’t have to worry! Would highly recommend him to anyone else having any similar difficulties.

Jason Ulbrich

Varment Guard has the best service. Eric did a wonderful job helping us remove the squirrels from our attic. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Patricia O'Malley

Explained what had to be done. Very efficient and friendly. Called and had my problem of birds taken care of the next day. Also cleaned up everything. In fact, having something else fixed next month to help prevent another bird problem.

Sara Deericks

I HIGHLY recommend Varment Guard. I came home to find a mouse running across my kitchen floor. (YUCK!) They came out the same day I called and were professional and very caring. They listened to me in my state of panic...and didn't take advantage of my fears. Instead of standing on a chair for a week, I was able to get on with my life. Thank you so much!!

Bo Young

Quick, Friendly, Responsive, Resolved - We had several wildlife encounters previously. Justin saw the problems, gave a fair quote, and finished the work in a timely manner. Will use again (in the unlikely case I’ll have to).

Sara Burris

Fantastic service and professionalism. The groundhog under our porch was caught in one day and it was handled humanly. They also offered us options of preventative measure so we don’t run into this issue again. I highly recommend this company!

Eric Sherman

Jared at Varment Guard Columbus has done a fantastic and thorough job addressing our various pest issues. He gives extremely detailed reports and definitely goes the extra mile to get the job done. I cannot emphasize how much of an improvement VG has been over some of their competitors.

E Stovall

Onsite within 2 hours of calling to remove a decaying deer after long holiday weekend. Rep was professional and quick. Was onsite less than 15 minutes. Price was half of what I was quoted by other companies.

Mardi Roberts

Really good communication. Dan checked in every day and clearly told us what was happening and what he would be doing. The online features worked great and made the whole process simple. Fantastic experience.

David & Connie Reynolds

Very prompt and courteous. Very professional. Would hire him again. I would have rated Adam with 6 or 7 stars but the max available was 5. Job well done.

Rebecca Gaffney

Seth was kind enough to pull what was left of a skunk (which wasn't much) from under our porch on less than an hour's notice. Prompt, polite, professional. Thank you!

1 2

Same-day live skunk trap and removal worked perfectly. Animal removed; fair price for same-day service. ...now just need to make some peroxide+soap+water in a bucket to pour out in that area. ;)

Doreen Dodson

Can't be more happy with Varment Guard and Dan who took care of my groundhog problem. After trying 2 other companies with no success....Dan took care of the problem. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Melody Zomonski

The raccoon issue was resolved. I'm not sure I would have signed the contract if I had been told the animals would be destroyed. I was told they would be relocated by the office person that I spoke with, but then the technician said that was not correct when I asked where they relocate them. I would very likely recommend them for animals that would be relocated.

April Horne

Troy is extremely professional, pleasant, and thorough. Response time is always quick and we have great results. Thanks for taking great care of our home!

Renee Oneill

Jared was Amazing in the way that he handled the very scared baby raccoon that fell out of the tree in my backyard. Apparently mama was not around. He was so sweet in taking him to the wildlife preserve because I didn't want the little guy put down, and he wouldn't survive in my backyard especially with my dog. Thanks Jared. I will call again if I have any other issues.

Sharon Hendrickson

Tech was informative, kind, Humane, and fast. He explained all our options, then went with an option of our own. Adam was great.

Guy K

Great service! We had a yellow jacket nest (new) in our yard between service visits. Tony, our technician, was out in 90 mins to deal with the problem.

Miriam

Prompt service and the technician was very knowledgeable, explained everything so that I can understand it. He was also very polite and I would trust him in my home by himself.

Seth Mahaffey

Matt got rid of a bird that had fallen into our HVAC exhaust and the nest that was in the vent. Friendly and Helpful would use again!

Angela Yurkovich

Great service, fast and friendly. Amazing customer service. We had the large bee hive underground and they took care of the problem the first time. No need to research any other pest control company....you will not go wrong with Varment Guard.

Jodie Monebrake

Jake came out yesterday afternoon and by this morning we had trapped one chipmunk and a raccoon! I will be putting Varment Guard into my summer budget from here on out!

Elizabeth Austin

Easy to schedule, swift work, and easy to pay. No issues, no problems, and best of all - no bird!

D.J. Justice

After initially poor results a manager came out and reviewed the situation and he and the tech have worked diligently to resolve the issues at hand and have continued to work at the clean up and prevention of further Varmitt intrusions ...
