What customers said about ant extermination
Green Pest ServicesThe treatments have been regular, thorough & the technician always professional, discussed procedures/process & answered any questions; especially Zewdu, who provided our final service for this year - seems like quite an asset to the company. Keep up the good work. 👏
Elite Ops Exterminators, Inc.Craig was my H.E.R.O. today. I have ants in my condo again, so I called Elite Ops. Craig thoroughly and methodically assessed the situation; spoke to me about his conclusion and recommendations; took immediate action; and explained what to expect in the days and weeks to come. He was very professional and polite.…
Elite Pest ControlI started working with Anthony 4 years ago from a referral. I was having a very bad time getting service from other pest companies. He came that day and took care of all my needs. He educates all my clients and puts them at ease. I have Élite Pest Control now doing all my properties. Highly recommended

How we grade
Satisfaction (54%) — Recency-weighted star average (2-year half-life), shrunk toward the category mean by review volume; the company’s own lifetime average as the prior; absolute: 4.0★ = 0, 5★ = 100.
Reliability (24%) — How rarely jobs go badly: share of 1–2★ reviews — 60% the last 24 months (or the 20 newest if fewer), 40% all-time; 0% = 100, 15%+ = 0; the category percentile can only raise it.
Craft & service (penalty, up to −10) — Google review highlights: Quality, Professionalism, Responsiveness, Punctuality — how rarely reviewers flag them as a negative, per review since highlights began; 0% = 100, 5%+ = 0. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in — clean highlights are the norm, not a bonus.
Value (14%) — Customers’ own price verdicts (Great / Reasonable vs Overpriced) and Value highlights; 65% absolute (all “reasonable” ≈ 80, “great” = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
Momentum (penalty, up to −10) — Penalises only a real slide: last-12-month average below lifetime (−0.5★ = 0). Still 4.8★+ over the last year, or steady/improving = 100. Subtracted from the score (up to −10), never averaged in.
Replies to reviews (7%) — How often the owner publicly replies to reviews under 5★ (1–4★). Needs 3+ such reviews, otherwise not counted; 65% absolute (80%+ replied = 100), the category percentile can only raise it.
