Seems like a while back someone asked for recommendations about a pest/exterminator type company. AVOID and NEVER call AIM Pest Control. Their 3/4 page ad, with pix, in the yellow pages caught my eye - I'm thinking "nice, big ad, they must be doing well". The only thing they are doing well is ripping people off. They rush right out to get your money in advance then lie to you. They put a trap under our house to catch a “possible possum”, then did not come back “and check the traps every other day” as they promised. You call and call, they do not return calls, and when you get them, it’s always “I’m on my way there now” – but they never get there. When the guy finally called, he said he went by while I was at work and put a smaller trap out since the big one didn’t catch anything. After several weeks he came by and picked up the large trap (I was there and saw the big cage-like trap). I asked if he was going to bait the other one and he said “tomorrow”. I said “why not today?”. It was after 5:00 and he needed to get home! What does it take – maybe 2 minutes? Tomorrow never came, but when I had a guy under there to install a water line recently, he searched all under the house – there is no trap (I had a padlock on the gate so there was no way he could get in to retrieve it when no one was home)! This is like loaning (or giving) someone money with a promise to pay, but they don’t. People and/or companies really don’t care seem to care about honesty, integrity and their reputation any more. Hopefully, in the end these types of people/businesses will be the losers. AIM has been reported to the BBB, but do you think they responded – nope, notta word!
Don’t people care about personal integrity any more? I grew up being taught that your word was your bond. People just don’t seem to have those values any more.
I will say that I called Lookout Pest Control and they sent someone right over, charged less, and got the job done!
