About a week or so ago I noticed Carpenter Ants climbing a pillar out front. I called H & H and informed them about the situation and they informed me that they would "send the best guy". He came out and was clearly aware of the situation. He went back to his H&H truck to get a ladder. He brought back a stepping stool. Keep in mind that the Ants were about 9-10 feet up. The man that they sent was around 60 yrs old, 110 lbs, about 5ft 5in tall and with his stepping stool (at 6ft 2in) I was still taller than he was. So very quickly he realized that his stepping stool was not going to do the job. So I had to go outback and find him a ladder that he could use. After we finally got the ladder out front, he climbed up, sprayed bug spray (what I would imagine was very similar to the can of raid that we had out and could have used) in the crevices around the top of the pillar. It took probably 5-10 minutes total. It took far longer getting out our ladder or having to put it back after he finished. While I will say that the man was very courgal and respectfull, I think $150 for what was done seems a bit high. Perhaps I expected him to do more and maybe $150 to spray some bugs spray is the going rate but I can't imagine 10 minutes of labor and some bug spray costing $150.
