Payne Pest Control

Yes. I to wished I would have read the reviews. PEOPLE!!! READ THE REVIEWS. This guy SUCKS. I have more mice and centipedes than I had before this mutha came and «treated» my place. Also never came back for his 2week assesment.

THIS GUY IS A SCAM ARTIST! Do not use!!! Paid $ 200 to eradicate a fruit fly problem, he insisted on cash or check. Was told they’d be gone in 48 hours. Not the case– Called and texted him repeatedly on days 3 – 8 w/​zero response. My husband called from a different (new victim!) phone # and rec’d call back in under 5 minutes. DO NOT DO BUSINESS W/​PHILLIP PAYNE!

Payne Pest Control is nothing but a pain in the a**! My husband and I had raccoons in the attic, we hired him to set humane traps. he came out tried to chared $ 800 but my husband haggled him down to $ 400. He set the traps and never came back to get the raccoons caught in them. We were forced to call the humane society. We called him repeatedly but it was to no avail. This guy is a SCAM ARTIST and a CROOK!

I WISH I DIDN’T HAVE TO GIVE HIM ONE STAR. I prefer dealing with the pests than dealing with this thief. DON’T EVER HIRE HIM! I paid him CASH to come after his «business hours» to help us with a rat and flies in our basement. He did nothing but spray some bug spray that I could have bought at Home Depot. Of course, this didn’t solve the problem and when I called back a day later to report the unresolved issues, he scheduled with me twice to come back (only after telling me he needed more cash for a warranty) then never showed either time.

NEVER hire this guy!
I don’t remember who recommended me Payne Pest Control. Hiring this guy was a huge mistake. Philip Payne came to our establishment to help get rid of rats. He did an initial treatment and offered us a one year warranty for $ 305, which we purchased. When I called him to come back six months later, he told me on the phone I had to pay more. Plus, if I wanted him to come out, I had to send him a reminder on a day of service as otherwise he would not remember about the appointment. Our conversation ended by him cursing at me with a volume of profanities… He also threatened me that he will make rats come back in volume on purpose to my establishment. I obviously don’t plan to have him back but also wonder whether I should file a police report. Don’t hire this guy!

Phillip Payne had the audacity to call me today 10/​10/​2013, and ask me why am I posting negative comments about his business. He costs me $$$. Same issues as the other posters. warranty, no show, no return calls &/​or major excuses. On one particular day, after meeting him & paying him by check, he called me within 30 minutes stating he lost my check on his way to the bank, He immediately picked up a replacement check & conveniently found it & cashed it along with The replacement!
I won a judgment against him for failure to appear. Now that he has resurfaced I plan to collect. He had the nerve to say he was going to sue me for defamation of Character!!! Really!
NEGATIVE 5 STARS!!!

I wish I had read these reviews first. Phillip Payne is a scam and he should be put out of business. He incorrectly diagnosed an insect problem in my home to get more money, missed appointments, would not return my calls, and eventually never returned to complete the job. He’s unprofessional lacks character and morals. If you choose to hire him, YOU WILL BE SORRY. I am reporting him to the Better Business Bureau as well.

Just like the previous post, I too was ripped off by Payne’s Pest Control. I have written the Better Business Bureau and there are several complaints filed about this company. We also paid for a 6 month warranty and when we tried to get him to come out a second time he never showed up. He also wouldn’t return my calls. This guy is a SCAM!

This guy is a complete rip off and needs to be stopped. His name is Philip Payne of «Payne Pest Control». First he overcharges me for mediocre service, then sells me on a warranty. Five missed appointments later (none of which did he call and cancel) and I realized I’ve been scammed.
