We like the service technician, Joe. He is very professional and personable. He gets the job done. I highly recommend this company for pest control needs.

Also, great experience in setting up our service. Patty the customer service representative was very helpful and worked with us with great customer service and friendly service provided.

Thank you Patty and Joe.

Adrien5/5Sep 15, 2026

Amazing company to work with! Meaningful example: we had an ant issue in our kitchen and contacted the team on a Friday afternoon to help deal with it. Our dedicated guy was not in the area that day. The customer service lady went above and beyond and found someone else nearby to help and within a couple of hours, the issue was resolved and we didn’t have to wait for the following Monday. I highly recommend working with that company!

Karen5/5Aug 28, 2026

The technician arrived promptly and was very professional and courteous. We had been battling ants for weeks with daily infestations. Since the day of our service I haven’t seen a single ant. Would highly recommend.

Reply from the business · Sep 10, 2026

It’s so great to hear those ants are finally gone! We truly value your recommendation, Karen. I’ll be sure to pass your lovely note along to our technician.
