I Love this company and there products, They make sure to care for your property all around inside and outside.
Our technician jason was right on time. He listened to our concerns and gave expert advice on things. We can do to minimize pest activity between treatments. His insight and industry acumen was beyond what we're used to receiving from other pest control services. His professionalism and friendliness was very much…
I am very pleased with your technician. She provided ample advanced notice that she was coming to my residence. She physically announced her arrival (doorbell). However, I was unable to answer the door while she was at my residence. She was very efficient treating my residence.
Alder Pest control came out today to do our quarterly pest control service. I appreciate that they text you about 30 minutes from the time they'll arrive. Shane our technician was both polite and professional and thoroughly did his job.
Jonas what great! Very thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. Explained everything!
Ashley was great. So friendly and eager to meet the needs of the home owner.
Emily was great. She explained everything she was doing and provided excellent service. She was very professional and we would love it if she was our tech every time.
Our second year with Alder Pest Control because our field experts have always been very professional, they did a great job, we have noticed an improvement difference in the insect / pest population around the house. We hope this application will be even more efficient. It has been over a year, and as now we are…
I appreciate the removal of spider webs and dirt dobber nests as well as the ground coverage to help reduce fire ants. About to find out if it helps reduce the Japanese Beetle population.
First impressions are so important and mine with Alder could not be better. Josh was very knowledgeable and courteous over the phone in setting up our new service and gave me an immediate and fair price over the phone based on details of our home. Technician was able to come the very nice day, and Matt was…
Technician was nice, professional, and timely. He completed a through job of spraying.
Nathan introduced himself, verbally summarized all services he'd be performing. Completed a thorough job and informed us when finished. He let us know when his next visit would be. Two thumbs up for Nathan!
Good job very thorough.
The technician did a wonderful job, he was very friendly, professional and communicated in detail but with a ease to understand what he did during the service. I was very pleased with the service, and the tech, thank you.
Our technician was super friendly and professional. She did a very thorough job. It was a pleasure doing business with her.
Great job! Excellent service
Not all spider webs were removed, I noticed that upon entry of the house he did not wear anything over his shoes so therefore tracking in the house, gentleman was nice but did not seem as thorough and take the time to do all the steps as our first guy did. Also no pictures were taken showing work done I was…
Superb Pest Control service!! I noticed a carpenter ant problem and requested an additional visit to assess the problem. I received an appointment within 2 days! Alder sent confirmation of the appointment window, notification 24 hrs prior, and a textfrom the technician when she was on his way. The technician,…
I switched to alder from cooks about 2 years ago and I have always been happy with their service and customer service. Highly recommend
Our technician was very thorough and answered all my questions. I was especially glad that he cleaned and treated the webs on the upper eaves.
Excellent service. Jeremiah was very through in explaining what he would be doing and after completing his work he briefed me on what he had completed.
Would have given 5 stars but again was a different technician and was a retreat from our last service. Had several issues from the last paid visit. If you cannot find a regular technician to treat our home and lower how much you charge, we will be forced to cancel. I dont have any issues with your services but i do…
Alder was great, I learned about the company from a door salesman, got signed up and had a technician out in a couple days. The technician was prompt, fast, and efficient in his work. I will be looking forward to continue working with this company!
Both technicians were polite & professional. I was pleased with the services provided.
We were pleased with the service we received, the only negative with the whole experience was a breakdown in communication with the office regarding as to when the service would be performed & when the technician would arrive at the property. Both the technician & the salesman were friendly, professional &…
Nick came back for my first visit (dog was out when he initially attempted) and did a fantastic job. He explained everything that he was going to do (granular in the yard, sweep webs, spray for pests, etc.) and spent over an hour on the first treatment. I am very pleased with the level of support Alder has…
Yard was done. Webs wiped down off house. Upstairs balcony still had some webs that I swept after he left. And inside cable railings were webs( yes he had a duster up on deck I left for him to use). Otherwise all seemed fine
Excellent communication on what my pest management needs and was accomplished on visit. I was given an half hour notification of time of arrival of the technician. Photos by technician after. Thorough as well detailed in all of the areas treated. Included a summary of the service. Game changer in this area!
Alan was professional and courteous. He knocked on the door and explained what he was going to to today, and we talked about the process and future appointments.
The service last week at my home was professional, as always. Logan, the technician, was prompt, communication was excellent, service was fast, and all my questions were answered; the technician is very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to adress my concerns, which included going up onto the attic. The…
Alan was very helpful. He was cheerful and had a great attitude.
I met the technician before he started his work. I explained to him what was promised by the salesman when I agreed to use Alder pest control. He said it wasn’t all in the notes. He performed everything I asked of him and I am very pleased.
Alder Pest Control has been doing a great job protecting our home. Their technicians are always well mannered and explain their processes. We've seen an immediate decrease in activity since getting their service. Highly recommend!
