Punctuality & Professionalism
Most reviewers call their technicians out by name on review sites, complementing them and the company for how professional and thorough their techs are when completing an examination or treatment.
Travis is very, very, thorough with [his] examination, treatment and explanations of any current or on-going problems. We really enjoy his professionalism. I am impressed with this level of service.
Persistence and Effectiveness
Customers loved how quickly Arrow technicians were able to come out to treat the issues they were having. Techs are seen as proactive, efficient, and courteous.
I am so pleased and impressed by the service I received from Lamaine R. I am a renter and my landlord got Arrow for us. In my previous location we were serviced by Orkin and my mother had Terminix. Arrow is superior to Orkin and Terminix. With Lamaine our problem with ants was solved from his first visit. He came back to check to if the problem was solved and had someone checked on the problem. I have never received such thorough and good service like that. Lamaine is an exceptional person. This is the best service I ever received. Arrow is the best.
Reliability
Arrow has been family owned for over 50 years. Even though the company doesn’t cover all of the United States, they push the family aspect through all of their work. Technicians receive high praise for their friendly attitudes and the respectful way they treat their customers’ homes. Arrow technicians push for excellent service every time, and that is how they keep customers, calling them instead of any other pest control company.
Cost
Like most pest control companies, Arrow does not put pricing on their website due to the number of variables that would cause the prices to fluctuate. However, we did come across a rough estimate of $125 for a one-time basic visit (with a 30-day guarantee) or $300 for a year agreement ($75 each trip for four visits) in Atlanta, GA.
Arrow provides free inspections, which can be hard to come across with other pest control companies. Free inspections are crucial when choosing a company to take care of pest issues. You never really know how much work to be done or damage there is until a professional comes to take a look at your property. Free inspections can help keep costs down for customers, and that alone helps set Arrow apart from other major companies.
Unlike quite a few other companies, Arrow also doesn’t make you sign up for an annual contract. They allow you to receive treatment as necessary and on your terms. Along with no annual contracts, they provide a 30-day guarantee. If your home still has pests running around, Arrow will come out and retreat the problem as many times as necessary at no cost to you within 30 days of your initial treatment. This guarantee is standard across the pest control market but combined with free inspections and no annual contracts, it shows that Arrow is looking out for their customers.
Pros
- Free Inspections
- 30-day guarantee
- No annual contracts
Cons
- Specifics on warranty are unclear
- Pricing options are not available beforehand
Conclusion
Arrow is a family-owned and operated exterminating company who makes sure their customers are happy. Their service is thorough, efficient, and effective without up-selling products that their customers don’t need. They only service the southern region of the United States, but that doesn’t stop them from being a competitor with the larger companies in that area. It would behoove them, however, to be more forthcoming and transparent with their contracts, pricing, and satisfaction guarantee.
