Technicians were great. This was my first appointment and the technicians were on time and when finished let me know exactly what was done and what to expect. Very courteous and professional. Also let me know when they would be back for a 2nd treatment. I was very pleased.8
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!

I was surprised that Alder Pest Control was providing services on Memorial Day but Mauricio arrived by the time he indicated on the notification text message.

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 &…

Pest treatments have been working well. Very pleased with Alder Pest control!
I was not present when the technician did most of his work as he was early And I returned prior to the time he was originally scheduled so I don’t know how thorough the treatment was. It was represented to me that am application would be made around the eves and upper areas on the porch. That is where many of the…

Thorough as well detailed in all of the areas treated. Included a summary of the service. Game changer in this area!
