Several of my family members got stung from a yellowjacket nest. They were able to come same day and take care of the problem for us. Great service, and great prices couldn’t be happier with the company.

I had tried for several weeks to encourage a nest of yellow jackets to move from the stairway that connects the front and back yards of our house. Without success.

By chance I discovered Jim last year when my rose bushes were nearly destroyed by Japanese Beetles. I had called 3 exterminating companies and none were interested in treating our property. In complete frustration I called Jim fully expecting another rejection. To my surprise, and relief, Jim quickly agreed to come…

The man they sent was rude from the first word I spoke to him and refused to answer any questions of any kind. If you want any sort of understanding about the job that they are doing, don’t come here. He also gave us no aftercare instructions.

Response from the owner · a week ago

I would like to provide some important context regarding this emergency yellow jacket service call. I received a call from the property owner after another pest control company had treated a yellow jacket infestation approximately one week earlier and sealed the exterior entry point with expanding foam while the colony remained active. I arrived within approximately 30 minutes of receiving the call and explained the dangers of sealing up an active yellow jacket nest to the tenants. During the interior inspection, with the property owner present, we discovered that the yellow jackets were nesting within the ceiling void, buzzing directly overhead, and had nearly broken through the drywall. What appeared to be little more than a thin layer of paint separated the colony from the occupied living space. Having encountered similar emergencies during nearly 30 years in pest control, I recognized the immediate safety hazard and the urgency of addressing it. I explained my findings and treatment approach before proceeding at the property owner's request. The treatment was completed without releasing yellow jackets into the living space. I also treated the exterior window area and explained the necessary drywall repairs and nest removal to the handyman, who was present at the property owner's request. I understand that communication concerns were raised during this visit. However, my immediate priority was addressing a dangerous situation while explaining the necessary treatment and protecting everyone inside the home. I stand behind the professionalism and the treatment I provided. Jim Holmes Owner, Affordable Pest Services

I had excellent experience with Affordable Pest Service. Frist, I called them and ask them for same day service and they accommodate my request and have service done the same day. They understand how to treat the mouse in the house and for short term and long term treatment. I highly recommend their service.
