Could not figure out why some of the good stuff was dying back and looking sickly until we saw them in the act. Got tired of dealing with the hassle of reporting it to a supervisor only to have new guys show up the next time around and start all over again. Now we just keep a really big container of Round Up in the garage a spray the little monsters a couple of time a month. If you buy a service because you are a " snowbird " be prepared to be disappointed. If you are not, you made a good choice.

I am a snow bird & I just fired Dean's today; had them, since May 2016. When I got here the end of Oct. there was cob webs on the garage door & a couple of hills of fire ants; called @ 7:45 A.M. the next day & it took them 48+ hrs. to address the problem. The sales man told me in May that they DO fertilize palms BUT when I talked to the tech he said they NEVER fertilize palms. They will tell you anything to sign up & by the way I am still waiting for the Deans salesman to call me back SINCE the end of Oct. I guess that the customer is NOT PRIORITY ONE with them.
