A-Bear pest control is truly amazing and one of the few companies out there that is still professional, yet has that one big family feel to it.

Great customer service to schedule the appointment and great in person technician who was very knowledgeable about my ant issue. Gave me practical advice and showed me examples on how the sprays will be controlling my ant issue going forward. Definitely recommend them for your pest control issues.

Update 10/7/26: Unfortunately, my pesky ants were persistent even after my first great experience with A-Bear. I called about a week later, and without hesitation they offered to come back out and treat the area again at no additional cost. Michael came out today and was wonderful! He knew exactly what I was describing and really concentrated on the kitchen area, using two additional treatment methods to address the problem. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to make sure everything was treated properly. I’m very happy with the service I’ve received from A-Bear and especially appreciated Michael’s attention to the issue today. Hopefully my persistent little ants have finally gotten the message! 😊🐜 Great experience from start to finish! The woman who scheduled my appointment was very friendly and helpful, and Anthony, technician was knowledgeable, professional, and even very patient with my barking dogs in their kennels 😂. I originally called because of some tiny ants in the kitchen, but he treated those areas and also did a general pest treatment throughout the inside of the home. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely recommend A-Bear Pest Control! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
