Said watch out for door to door scammers asking for payment because they may not be part of my contract. She said they treat the ground where termites breed and once they get in it could be too late because they attack the wood very quickly. She also added that they are in the large trees around the villages and it is not good to leave your garage open for long because a few could fly in and you don't want that. So I try to remember to close mine when not in use. They have been great coming out to check my sprinklers.
Some years ago a Massey employee told us not to get the grass cutting maintenance as they were a revolving door and could not keep up with their work.

Had them for a year for irrigation system and was a terrible experience. 5 different guys came and set up the system 5 different ways. Asked them to make an appt so I could see what they did and was ignored.

The guy doing the pest control has been great for the past 4 years.
