Positive- I like that they treat the entire yard and not just surroundings of the home. They have always been very friendly and professional. They are always willing to address issues in a timely manner. Negative- While I do realize that 2016 summer has been horrible all around for misquotes but I expected the treatment to offer more protection than it has. Also, I have lots of large trees and they seem to attract lots of large ants. My ants have become less in numbers but there are still plenty on the driveway and yard. I have original 70s windows and have had some spiders in the house but as long as they treat the windows inside the problem has resolved. To sum I feel I was expecting total protection but have only been able to minimize pest.

Great staff and service. I have quarterly service...they always call a week or two before coming. I liked that because if I was experiencing a pest problem, it would remind me to notify the technician to pay particular attention to it. Fees can be drafted directly out of your account. One year I had a problem with ants and they were happy to return after a regularly scheduled service to address problem.

I work for Go-Forth and am also now a very satisfied customer. Had an issue with termites - Ben did a thorough inspection, quickly identifying the problem and clearly outlining the treatment plans. Adrian assisted with the termite treatment and crawlspace door rebuild, which will help resolve some drainage issues too. So happy with the attention to detail, communication, professionalism and quality work.

Great folks to do business with. Reliable and professional. Drain flies? I had never heard of them. They knew exactly what they were and how to get rid of them. If you have a pest problem, I've found the best thing to do is just call Go Forth and let them take care of the problem.

While I was visiting a place using your services I noticed the thorough job and professionalism the tech Kenneth Wright showed with doing his job. I asked him questions about your services and explained my own concerns. He took the time to answer all my questions and explain the processes. I feel that this company would be a great fit so I will be discussing with my company to make the final decision.

I must say that I am extremely impressed by Go-Forth. At first I sent them a cancellation email and also included my frustrations with the service they provided. The very next morning I got a call from the office manager and he wanted to discuss my email. Not only did he address each concern, he took ownership without any excuses and provided me with a refund of the service I was not happy with and also extended my contract for a few months free of charge. And not the basic level, he provided me the supreme service and after each tech comes out to spray he continues to follow up with me to make sure I am getting the service they promise. I am 5 star happy with Go-Forth and I RECOMMEND !!!!!!

We're really happy with the job Lu is doing servicing our account. She's very professional; she comes in with a cheery greeting and a smile; she explains what she's going to do then goes over what she's done before she leaves. She never goes out the door without advising us to contact the office if we need anything, and I know she means it. We couldn't be happier.

I recently switched from Orkin of many years to Go Fourth I find the people that come in your home to be a little too pushy for my taste. My wife and I are both retired vets and requested that our service be postponed for this week due to surgery. Instead they showed up anyway unannounced and tried to force the service on for that day anyway. My grandchildren explained that we were not home and the service still insisted that they come into the home, I don't feel comfortable back to Orkin we go.

The tech arrived on time and so far the issue has been resolved. The tech that came out to my house was professional and understanding to our needs. Pricing was fair and no hidden fees. I plan on referring this company to friends and co workers if the need arrives.

We joined Go-forth in May of 2017. Doug came out went around our home and showed us everything that their service provided. He was very professional and friendly. I feel that he genuinely cares about us and the service he provides. We have had to call him out a couple times for various things and he has been there without delay. He is thorough, doesn't seem to be in a rush, like companies we have had before. Thank you

Our service guy, Doug, was free earlier than scheduled, so he called to see if I was available. He was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. His explanations of the process and descriptions of our areas of probable 'mouse access' were clear, and he shared some good advice. Overall, I was very pleased with his visit and assessment.

Kevin Mitchell was my technician today. He arrived earlier than expected and was very , very thorough. This is my third treatment since starting service with Go Forth in August. I have had three different technicians each time and Kevin paid the most attention to possible entry areas as well as small crevices and cracks. The pests left in about one to two weeks of my initial treatment and now I'm getting proactive treatments to keep them away. Very satisfied thus far!

The experiences that I have had with the people at Go-Forth have been exceptional. From the customer service representative on the phone to the service technicians (Kerry and Midge), all have been remarkably helpful, attentive, personable, reliable, prompt, and effective. I wish that this was the norm for customer service in all companies and industries, but I'm glad to say it seems to be at least throughout this company. Whatever training and motivation you guys have established, keep it up. Your folks are absolutely GREAT!! Thank you!

I have a very good service technician who is always on time, and listens when you describe the problem. He inspects for this and treats the issue; thereby getting rid of the problem. His name is Ben Frazier. He is always on time, very polite, and very concerned about any problems. I would highly recommend Ben as a very good technician.

Chrissy was very personable and professional. We appreciate that she took the time to listen to our observations and concerns. She was also able to answer our questions about the application methods and materials used. We would definitely recommend Chrissy and Go-Forth.
Ken Clouser
13:21 05 Apr 18
One thing I have always liked is punctuality. At 2:28 Chrissy pulled up, my appointment was for 2:30. That just makes it feel like she cares about my time as much as her own. She came in and checked out the situation, for mice in my particular case, but found nothing at this time. She even went so far as too go under my home to check and see if there was a sign of rodents. No sign of rodents. That makes me feel better, since I have a little one in the house. She is very thoughtful and treats my little girl like one of her own children. Taking the time to answer all the questions a little girl might have about mice. Chrissy is the type of employee that makes a corporation look good. Her thoughtfulness to detail and taking the extra time to placate a curious child. If I were not retired I would do what it took to hire her away from you. She is that good. PS-I think I messed up by cleaning up the mouse droppings before she got to the house, basically I ruined the mouse crime scene, messing up the evidence...that is all on me.Jae Chesnutt

Go-Forth has been out twice now. They are courteous and responsive. I called yesterday about a hornets nest on our porch. They were at the door this morning to take of it. They thanked me for my business and made me feel appreciated and not like I was annoying for requesting service. I cannot say this about a competitor of theirs. I have been very pleased. The technician Ashley was profession, personable, and very informative. Very happy!

While doing yard work my husband and I were attacked by yellow jackets. We have a nest in our front yard. We called Go-Forth and my husband explained he was highly allergic and we also have 3 children. They would not even speak to us about coming out to eliminate the nest; they insisted we sign up for a yearly contract. How about you help us first and then we can talk about a contract moving forward?! Listen to your potential customers...allergic...3 children...nest located by the entry to our home...sort of urgent don’t ya think?!
Jaclyn Meredith

I very impressed with the service I received today. Courtney was super informative and allowed us to ask all our questions. She went above and beyond thoroughly checking every inch of our house. I would like to say she is someone you want to keep working for your business, especially with the amazing customer service and how she made me feel as if this was her home she was checking!

I have read the other reviews and I have to say that my experience with Go-Forth has been great as well! JD Mitchell is my service tech and is very detail oriented and very professional. He inspected every inch of my home and property. He knocked down all the spider webs, and treated my wife and I like family. Thanks JD and I hope this review finds you! Thanks so much and God Bless!
