We just had our Bi-Monthly service. Upon our technician's arrival, we had a few general questions. He was through with the information he provided and let us know when he was finished; even provided a few photos of his service. We are very happy with the overall quality of Adler Pest Control.

While outside, Emily spoke to my son about music, games and bugs (which is something he does not like). Normally people do not make the effort to pay attention to him but Emily did. KUDOS to Emily!!
