Signed up with them last fall. Had a periodic mouse issue in the house and ant concerns outside. They sent Tyler, and he nailed it. Found the entry point and sealed it up good the first time. He’s been coming by regularly and taking care of everything. Caught one mouse I believe was already in the house shortly after his first visit, but none since then. Really happy and pleased!!

Hi, Aram. Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!
Yellow jackets decided that our living room wall was their new home. A-Action Pest Control thought otherwise. The A-Action team were amazing! They arrived the first day I called. The yellow jackets put up an extraordinary fight, refusing to go to yellow jacket heaven. Anthony kept showing up until our wall stopped buzzing. Thank you! I highly recommend their services.

Thanks so much for the great review, Susan! We’re glad you had a positive experience with us. Hearing this kind of feedback truly motivates our entire team.
Tayler was the technician that provided ants control service, today. He is a very nice and knowledgeable young man. He was able to find spot from where ants start travell to the house. Did some spying and filling up possible entry to the house. Spayed around, left some granular.
This week was the first time I noticed any ants in my house, just a few, this year
I called the office and got appointment right away. Im so pleased and hope I won't see any ants soon.
Great service, I recommend it very much.

Thank you for the glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with our services. We're always here to go above and beyond for our customers. If you ever need assistance in the future, don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for recommending A-Action!
Not only did Pete rid us of a dangerous hornet nest, but he also found ants under some wooden stairs and door frames that, if left untreated, would cause major problems. He knows the pest business well and works diligently to correct and prevent future problems. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for this glowing review about Pete and our services! We're thrilled you were pleased.
Scott Stranczek came out to treat a Yellowjacket nest in my yard. He called in advance to let me know when he would be arriving, arrived on time, treated the problem, and spoke to me before leaving. He was professional and did a nice job. Recommended.
