Finally moving into house here so need some recos for pest control and a trusted cleaning crew. I am actually in rental house for hopefully 4 months before my actual house is finished(yes someone actually gave me a month by month lease). Both are in Woodway area

I do believe that post topics have hit an all-time low with drivel like this.

I bought the house from the guy who started 855 bugs. They suck after they got bought out by terminix - per the guy who stated the company … take it for what it is worth but that's coming from the guy who sold out to a large company.

Ladybug pest control is locally owned by a father/son duo and they care about what they are doing. My wife has a cleaning lady that is great but I'll get her info tomorrow to you. She comes twice a month for us and cleans our 3k sf house for 4 hours for 200 bucks

English maids are a huge rip off

855 bugs and English Maids are my recommendations.

And the rude response above is another vote for ditching the free boards.

you apparently don't have the sense of humor to discern such knowledge

IPest has been good. Typically when a local company gets bought out by a national one or private equity, it's time to find a new service.

Yessir! This is the reason 855 bugs is no good. Even their initial founder says he wouldn't use them going forward and gave me three recs after I bought his house

I guess I don't have a sense of humor either.

I'm trying to find the joke but not seeing it.

Evidently I have no sense of humor and I give crappy recommendations.

If your maid speaks English in Waco, then you are paying too much for suboptimal work.

Any other housekeeper/maid recommendations for Woodway area?

It's almost like no one wants to make recommendations, they just want to torpedo those who do.

Run to empire seed and buy some demon powder to dissolve in a sprayer. The farmers around Falls county turned me on to this. Last six months. Remember to spray around the outside perimeter of your house.

I would trust not a soul to my house other than Nancy Slaughter. 25 years experience, works her butt off and will never steal. Message me for her digits.

Good luck!

Thanks everyone. I decided to go with Jones Ladybug service. I called about 5 in total and he had the best prices for exact same service and also told me that spraying proactively for ticks and fleas when my dogs take oral meds for it already is a waste of money…especially with rain and mowing need right now. We could address it later if we do find some in the yard

Still no decision on cleaners yet

ladybug is a true family biz

Great choice

Thought I would update everyone that I also settled on a cleaning crew. I went with Sparkling Homes and Offices.

Sparkling Homes and Offices
(254) 366-3695

It is a crew of 6 ladies that show up so they move quickly and price was $160 for the rental we are in and will be $195 for our actual house when it is done.

If you're handy and a bit Scotch, do the pest control yourself:

Please let me know how it's going!

We are moving closer to town and I'll be reassessing these services when we do. Appreciate your doing the legwork.
