Always shows up quickly - as in next day appointments quickly. Fast and reasonable prices. The 30 day guarantee is great also as I have had to have them come back a couple of times to get all the ants gone and they come out and respray with no hassle

Had Active Pesto Control out when ants kept marching through our kitchen and nothing from the store worked, the tech showed up on time, walked the house with me, treated everything and checked back later, now the bugs are finally gone.

Went there after work to meet ACtive Pest Control at my place for a stubborn ant problem. The technician arrived on time, walked me through the plan and treated inside and outside. Scheduling was simple, pricing fair, and they followed up afterward. Weeks later the ants are gone and the house feels under control.
