Romex Pest Control

I really can’t give a review at this time. On Monday, I will go around the yard to see if there are any active fire ants in the yard as we have many mounds. I could not follow the tech around the yard as we were having a new AC coil installed and I was interrupted by the AC work. I will give you a review after I inspect the yard Monday. Matt Lacour seemed to know what his task was, and I have no complaints about his service.

One conflict was noted. The salesperson, Dakota, said Romex does the whole yard while my termite company (Agape) only sprays the mounds and would not be as effective as Romex. Matt said that Romex does not do the whole yard but only some five feet around the house, but active mounds are sprayed.

UPDATE TO PREVIOUS REVIEW:

I went over the yard this Monday morning and found five (5) small mounds that were overlooked but have active ants. The photos are attached to this review. The mounds are marked with flags so the tech can find them. I came across a sixth active mound late Saturday afternoon but could not find it this morning. Matt Lacour said that he would return if active fire ants were found.

Today, 3.26.25, Miranda sprayed active mounds in our yard and did a very thorough job. She sprayed all the fire ant mounds I flagged plus she sprayed one that she found on her own.

However, the only problem we have with pests is fireants. We don’t have rats, scorpions, tarantulas, poisonous snakes nor velociraptors. The cost to have Romex kill the fireants is $991.00 for 12 months ($97 + $149 X 6).

$991.00 is too expensive just to control fire ants for one year. I know that canceling their service will cost me a fine of $250 but I would rather terminate now having one treatment for $347 ($97 + $250) than pay Another $894 for six more treatments.

I have no complaints with the actual service provided by Romex.However, the salesman told me that Romex would treat the whole yard for fireants and not just spray the mounds. This was not a true statement.

This company teaches door to door sales people to ignore “no soliciting” signs. STOP BOTHERING ME I DONT WANT YOUR SERVICES.

Romex, please read the city ordinance for Ponchatoula, La. Not only are you a nuisance, but a “no soliciting” sign RIGHT next to my front door is there SPECIFICALLY for companies like yours.

Sec. 66-1. – Entering private residences or property or businesses without invitation for solicitation purposes declared nuisance; exception.
The practice of going in and upon private residences or businesses in the city by solicitors, peddlers, hawkers, itinerant merchants and transient vendors of merchandise without having been requested or invited to do so by the owner or occupant of the private residences or businesses, for the purpose of soliciting money or orders for the sale of goods, wares and merchandise and/or for the purpose of disposing of, peddling or hawking, is declared to be a nuisance and is prohibited.

My service technician Miranda was excellent!! She was informative, accommodating, nice, and took her time doing her job.. She made sure she sprayed all areas inside and out! She also liquid treated a few ant mounds in the yard. I definitely recommend this company 10/10
