Franz Termite Control

Franz Termite Control are a family company that offers outstanding service. They have taken care of me for years. I usually get inspections bi-annually, and I've never had an issue they couldn't address. I'll give a recently example that is typical of the type of service that Franz provides. I was having some small repairs made to my roof, based on their last termite inspection. The roofers expected to have the work done in a day, and were especially concerned with time, because it was supposed to rain. They found some living termites that had survived the last treatment, and so I called Franz. They were out in an hour and a half, and took care of everything quickly. The roofers had enough time remaining to finish up, and left just minutes before the rain began. With Franz, I get the same inspector every time. At this point, he really knows my house and what needs to be done. And the inspections are very, very thorough. He not only looks around for termites, but identifies potential target areas and makes suggestions for preventative maintenance. Infestations are not unusual in a seventy-year-old house such as mine, but the spectacular crew at Franz keep things under control. I find fewer and fewer service providers these days who actually care about my house. Franz are an exception. If they ever find termites in the same place twice, they are profusely and sincerely apologetic that they didn't get them all right away. They are a great company. Susy Caloff more

I have dealt with both Franz Judas, the founder of Franz Termite Control, and his son Michael, who now runs the business, for over 25 years. The people who work at Franz are very professional and friendly. They are a wonderful company that offers true customer service, and for this reason I have continued to use them. Franz is able to provide consultation and inspection, as well as chemical work, but the fumigation is subcontracted out. The inspections themselves have been extraordinary--extremely thorough and including many things in addition to just pest control. Also, the treatment for subterranean termites has been very good. But in order to be rid of drywood termites, fumigation in a necessary. Thirteen years ago, the fumigators that Franz subcontracted to were awful. They did an extraordinary amount of damage to my tile roof, costing me a lot of additional money. (All fumigation companies requires a release which essentially absolves them of any responsibility for damages.) The fumigators Franz now subcontracts to are much better. Due to the tenting, some degree of damage to tile roofs is inevitable. The new fumigators caused far less damage to the tile by using sponge-bottomed walking planks to walk on the tile roof. In summation, the reason I choose Franz is that the service is outstanding, and their personnel are competent and committed. Franz worked to mitigate potential roof damage by choosing fumigation subcontractors who were far more careful with tile roofs. more
