  Twice a year they swing by and spray. No ants or other bugs in the house. Until we hired Rasmussen we had carpenter ants every year in the Spring. Well worth the cost. Nice and friendly technician.

  We have been using Rasmussen for several years and I have never had a problem until today. The workers that were sent to spray, doused my ripe cherry tree - that we are obviously in the middle of picking - with insecticide. They didn't even bother to ask or leave a note asking if it was okay to spray. Now we can't pick for 3 days and the cherries are ripe right now. We don't know how many cherries we are going to lose as a result. We had to cancel several people who were going to pick today and tomorrow. Additionally, no one we provide cherries to really wants cherries with insecticide now that they are aware of it. So in all likelihood the cherries we planned to donate to the food bank will just have to be thrown away. When we can pick them. It also affects the birds and other wildlife that frequent our property. The owner assured me the workers were given instructions not to spray cherries but where were these guys when that was explained. Furthermore, my son-in-law who lives across the street witnessed one of the workers vaping on my property. Totally not acceptable. We haven't decided yet if we are going to continue with this service. It is very disappointing because up until today I have had no complaints.

  I am elderly and disabled and I live on a small farm whose owner has used this service for 20 years. I have lived here for 4 years. I am a plant biologist by education and owned a tree service for 21 years, eight active years in the Willamette Valley under the name Metro Tree Service. When I was active and first starting this service was owned by the Rasmussen's and they were good professional crew and I recommended them at least a hundred times. In the four years I've been here, I have had minimal conversations with the crew and have been of assistance when asked. This year they insisted that I leave the property when they spray. Last year when they sprayed they damaged the trees to the point where the leaves lost color and the nuts and fruits did not produce like they should. I have a feeling they did this to the trees on purpose due to some interaction with the crew earlier this year they felt was undo. This put the responsibility of the damaged orchard on my hands to the uneducated landlord. She is under the impression it was something I did. My interaction with the crew early in spring was as follows. They had a new member on the crew. There were two sprayers, one who has appeared for the last 4 years as being the crew leader. He was concerned about the wind carrying the poison so the crew he tested the wind and positioned himself so the wind would carry the poison away safely. The newer member randomly shot the poison in the air and said, "Oops", with a laugh as it floated over the new organic strawberry patch I had installed previously in the fall. I said something about that, pointing out the patch of strawberries, and the member laughed at me and said something using words and language that told me he probably didn't even graduate from high school. I called the owners and pointed out what happened and the lack of care. The woman owner who answered blasted me with unkind words, knowing I'm not the owner of the property, and told me I was in the wrong for saying anything. I received so much bad interaction from my uneducated landlord this year regarding the trees, laying the blame at my feet for the lack of production. This season, the spray service said they would not do the job if I was on the property. I am elderly and disabled and they sent me off the property with nowhere to go in sub 40° weather. Of course we can blame the landlord, but she is elderly as well and not totally cognitive, and they pressurized her unduly and unprofessionally. I would not recommend this tree service to anyone. They advertise as being here for decades but their name is not on the title of the business and they purchased the business intact from the former owner. Don't use this service. They damaged the trees this year and illegally kicked me off the property for several hours in Sub forty degree weather with nowhere to go. They are inhumane and do not respect the elderly or disabled. They do not take constructive criticism and apparently do not know their job when they damaged the trees. I have to come to a conclusion that they did this on purpose to cause me discomfort. The reasons I have is because the trees didn't produce this year and they were at fault. To add insult to injury, they made my absence prerequisite of spraying the trees. I have had enough discussion with their lead member for him to know that I'm a plant biologist and would figure out the damage, and know they were responsible. These people are unprofessional and irresponsible an unaccountable when confronted.
