Carnegie went absolutely ABOVE AND BEYOND to settle an issue that I had regarding concerns over potential termite activity that was documented by my main pest service provider. This stemmed from a pre-construction treatment issue on a new build. Ivan, the owner, personally got involved and addressed the issues directly. They offered a complimentary exterior perimeter treatment without being asked twice.
They showed up within the agreed time window and completed the work promptly, providing thorough explanations along the way. They provided complete documentation - work order, service agreement and completed graph. Carnegie went out of their way to correct the issue and I am forever appreciative and more than happy to be a future paying customer!

This is a very responsible and professional family owned business. They keep me informed of when they are expected to arrive, they show up on time, and they are very respectable of my property when treating inside my home. They are also very knowledgeable on how best to treat the inside and outside of my home. I highly recommend them.

I liked that it was not a large chain and they didn't charge much for the work. They told me the chemical they sprayed would only last for 6 months, so I will definitely call them back after that.

Not only did a real person answer the phone, they were at my house within 30 minutes to inspect what turned out to be a termite problem. They did not have the materials to address the problem immediately, but returned the next day right on time. John and Mike were friendly and fully explained what needed to be done. They performed the job as as promised for what I thought was a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this local company to anyone who asks.

I've used Carnegie Pest control for 20 yrs or more for small mice. We have animals and John was very patient when explaining that the chemicals he uses are Pet Friendly. We never had a problem with mice for yrs. Im calling them today. Ok. I did call.a women answered and was very friendly and informative. I dont know why these cry baby's complain about everything. If they were rude.its not the end of the world for them.they responded to the 1 star review professionally. These people who write bad reviews probably do it to everyone!.Johns been doing this a long time and knows all the tricks of the trade.thanks John.see you soon.ahhh.hope not.lol.

I have used "John" from Carnegie Exterminators more than once. I have no Idea why everyone is complaining about him being rude. I found him to be a really stand up guy. Even talked with me about some of the old equipment his family has used for years. Just really nice. And the price they ask is less than 1/4 the price of any of the big name companies for the same service and the 1 year warranty. Terminex quoted me $1800 to spray a stupid old rotting tree stump 20 feet from my house. John charged me a low few hundred and also strayed the perimeter of the house just for good measure.
So I say, save 3/4 of your money and call Carnegie Exterminators if you need to get rid of some pests. And if by some chance they seem "rude" keep in mind everyone is entitled to a rough day. But you are also saving a lot by hiring these guys. I will only work with these guys from now on. Though I hope I never have to again, for obvious reasons. :

Jon's company did are home inspection without issue. And we have had them come out to take care of a bee problem we had in the summer. In both occasions we were more than satisfied with his work and professionalism. He has since got rid of ants at my mothers home and did a bee issue at my aunts home. I would recommend him to anyone.

Called and described the problem to Jon, the owner. He provided the names of the chemicals they would use, so I was able to look them up on the internet. Internet research agreed with what he described in terms of product effectiveness and safety to pets, etc. He and his crew came out w/in two days. He investigated the upstairs interior where we saw the ants, and in the basement climbed our ladder to remove suspended ceiling panels to view the area.
He did a thorough look around the basement, even pointing out areas that we hadn't noticed. He sprayed the interior and the crew sprayed the exterior (using a compressor, not hand-held equipment.) He offers tiered pricing, based on the amount of time you'd like the work to be warranted. This is nice, as you can decide what is appropriate for yourself. We selected the 90-day warranty, which was the lowest price tier.
