Green Pest ServicesVictor was very pleasant and communicative. I was able to ask questions about what he was doing and how he was doing it.
Green Pest ServicesAidan was fantastic, took his time to walk the outside of the house with me, inspecting and explaining the process and removed all wasp nests and treated the exterior of the house. Glad to have Aidan support our home!
Green Pest ServicesThey sent Aidan out to help my parents get rid of a soccer ball-sized hornet nest in their pear tree. He mentioned there were 50-some bald-faced hornets in there and got to figuring out how to safely dismantle it without letting them all swarm out. He did a good job which we wouldn't have dared to do ourselves. The price for the job was fair, too.
