Venus Pest Company is great! We never have any issues, and they are great working around our 2 dogs. They have a little different philosophy then most places, with a little more focus on environmental safety.
I trust Dr. Scott enough to let him have a copy of our house key. WIEGEHT
I recommend Scott Lingren PhD at Venus Organic Pest Control. Aggie educated and well respected and trustworthy. David N Bailey, DC, MPH '73, '05. DRBAILEY
I'll second Venus Pest Company - We used them when we were in town too. Really liked them and the stuff they use is organic, which I liked.
They also gave us a discount because they would do our house and the neighbor's on the same visit. TXELSIE
VENUS is great. Scott the owner is a professional in every good sense of the word. His technicians are efficient, effective, and personable. What more could you want??!! MOMLAW
Another vote for Venus! It's so exciting to see so many use him. He started from the ground up and is obviously growing. TWIX
Another vote for Venus. We've been using Scott's services for years and have been very pleased. AGS_IN_OMAHA
Venus will cut you a discount if you arrange with a neighbor to have them do both houses on the same trip. They are entomologists too, so they get inside the mind of the bug

Dr. Scott with Venus is great. My new house had some scorpion issues and he knocked them out on one trip. He's also great at killing wasps. SLOW-G
Venus has always done a great job for us--the spray is safe for kiddos and pets, but deadly to all bugs. AGS_IN_OMAHA
Venus has been a great service for us and we've been using them for the past several years now.
We recently started using the bi-annual fire ant treatment and for us with a large yard we spend lots of time in I can honestly say that after 1-2 're-treats' we've had no fire ants and no hassles getting them to come out in between scheduled visits for any problems. RJP
Wise choice, we have been using Dr. Scott at Venus Pest Company to treat our 2 acres for mosquitos for the past 3 years and love the results. Plus if you find mosquitos after he sprays he will come back and retreat for free...only happened 1 time, he treated right before a big rain. TXBBQMAN
I had some real nasty wasps in my eaves and after I used several cans of wasp killer I call Venus was Scott was able to get rid of them. I guess it helps that Scott has a PhD in entomology so he knows his bugs or more importantly how to kill them. SLOW-G
After reading all the recommendations for their mosquito control and having my son eaten alive over the weekend, I gave them a call to have my yard treated. I called at 12:30pm and they were at my house at 1:45pm spraying the yard. I'm looking forward to spending this evening in my yard not getting bitten. MIMI
Venus has always done a great job for us. It's comforting to know that my wife and daughters can play in the back yard without getting West Nile. Also comforting to know they won't choke to death on some nasty chemical treatment used to keep the mosquitos away. Scott is a terrific guy. Venus is locally owned. I encourage you to give them a try. VILLAGER
We had our inaugural 2009 mosquito treatment today. Scott and his crew are very professional, friendly and totally on the customer service program.... always a pleasure. MOMLAW
I'm so glad I'm seeing all of these positive comments! After a billing debacle with another large pest control company here in town, I chose to switch over to Venus Pest Control.
I spoke with Jennifer this afternoon who was not only sweet (and certainly didn't mind my screaming toddlers in the background!), but set up an appointment that worked perfectly with our schedule. I hope I'm even more impressed when they come out to do our risk assessment! 4LILMONKEYS
Scott is a great guy...He has been treating our house since it was under construction 5 years ago and we live out in the sticks near a creek. He's managed to keep our house pretty much pest free for that time and I can vouch for his mosquito spray. It is pretty amazing how well that works. I have always laughed at his phone number since he first got it (you figure it out) but I will never forget it. AGGEEPOP
I wanted to post on my experience with Venus pest control after I won the free mosquito treatment.
First of all, I want to say everyone that I spoke with from the company was very friendly. When I called to set up my appointment they didn't have an opening on the day I wanted, but she said she would check if they could fit me in. A few minutes later, she called back and said I was good to go.
The day of the appointment arrived and Dr. Scott from Venus showed up right on time (maybe even a few minutes early). I was already outside trying to finish mowing my yard when he pulled up. He introduced himself and asked to look around. I showed him my yard and he answered many of my questions before he got started. Once again, he was extremely professional and friendly during the entire visit. After he applied the treatment, he answered more of my questions and he was on his way.
It has now been a week and a half since I got the treatment done. So far, it has been as good as he said it would be. That same night I made a point to hang out outside with my son playing ball at the time when the mosquitoes had been bad. I never saw one. For the first week, the treatment is the most effective and I never saw a single mosquito. The treatment should still be effective for three more weeks, but I may see a few every now and then.
Overall, I have been very pleased with the results. I was a little skeptical at first, but it has been great. I would definitely recommend it if you like to be outside but you have mosquitoes. Thanks again to Venus for the free treatment! Check them out and give them a call. DAKOTAAG01
+ 2 for the Venus "skeeter squad" treatment. I spent many afternoons/evenings outside last summer bite-free. Usually if there is a mosquito within 1,000 feet I get bit, but not w/ this treatment. EGRET
2 good things to say about Venus. First,we used them in College Station and they were always friendly and did a great job. Second, when we moved to Houston, we were stunned at the cost of pest control - Venus NEVER charged us as much as the organic guys down here want. TXELSIE
We also use Venus for our quarterly service plus recently signed on for the mosquito treatment. We are loving it! Highly recommend. ANNEAC
Wanted to give a big thanks to Venus pest control and especially Jennifer( I think it was jennifer). She went out of her way to make a stop at my house after work to confirm carpenter ants and make a appt date 2 days later. Very pleased with the personal attention I got and the fast service. I do alot of my pest control myself, this was out of my league. I will recommend you guys to anyone who is looking. CSAGYO
Dr. Scott himself came to our house today and treated our yard for mosquitoes! He was extremely professional, friendly, and fast. Can't wait to get outside and enjoy our yard without dousing myself in bug spray! ACUTT817
Before we started using Venus two months ago, you couldn't walk in our backyard for more than 30 seconds without getting bit. Now, we sit outside and let the kids play for hours on end without a single bite.
Our neighborhood is notorious for mosquitoes. We live only a few hundred yards north of the water treatment plant behind Home Depot. FCAG
I was suprised to find out from a friend that Venus will even do pest control in rural areas. A friend of mine has them come out to Iola quarterly. They were charged the same price as I for intown services. AWESOME12ATM
In the last year, we moved onto some acreage outside the city. We have yet to make much of a yard and our home is surrounded by tall, wild grass and large yaupon bushes.
Regardless, it is beautiful outside and my wife and I enjoy sitting out on the deck in the evening, watching the kids play and swim. Like most others in the area, this activity came to a halt a few weeks ago when the mosquitoes moved in. We couldn’t be outside for more than a few minutes without being covered in bites. At first, I did not consider Venus’ mosquito treatment because of rural, wild nature of our property, but them being a sponsor and all, I thought we’d give it a whirl.
It has now been a full week since our treatment and I have yet to see ONE mosquito… not a one. In addition, the treatment took care of a bunch of other flying pests as well (we had these really annoying tiny bugs that liked to fly right up in your face). We are not do for another treatment for another 3 weeks, so I will let you know how it holds up, but as for week one… incredible… easily worth the money. OOSHWA
Dr. Scott-
Thank you so much for helping us out with our Mosquito problem. I could hardly stand it before but you definitely took care of us. Thank you so much for you help with our Pest Control Problems. ASHLEY T.
Dr. Scott,
My daughter lives with her family in Bryan and they have you spray their yard for mosquitoes. They are very pleased with the results, and I have enjoyed being outside at their house.I usually get bit when no one else has even noticed mosquitoes, so I have a very difficult time enjoying outside. We live in Houston - Can you recommend a service in our area that treats for mosquitoes as you do? Thank you! BRENDA C.
