We began using Barrier when we first moved here in 2012 when some rats had broken into our attic.

Living in a new construction neighborhood right next to a natural peserve, we were constantly fighting ants and spiders. This team came in and completely eliminated them -- and even safely took care of a wasp nest up on our roof!
Their work is truly expert level, competitively priced and completely honest. Knowing the family behind the business gives me 100% peace of mind and I trust them in my home. It's rare to find a company that combines this level of quality, integrity, and warmth. I highly recommend them to anyone!

Gabrielle KruegerLocal Guide · 13 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Gabrielle has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We began using Barrier when we first moved here in 2012 when some rats had broken into our attic. Your technician inexpensively created some barriers to keep the rats outside after we had considered other providers with much larger estimates. As time passed we needed to have some pests identified, and Barrier became our service provider again. Our daughter and another family member are also using their services.
Brandon manages the pests well on our property. We used to have wasp nests appear, and that is no longer happening. We appreciate his professional service. As temperatures warm, we also use your mosquito abatement service, so we can work in the yard and be protected. We appreciate that if we have other pest concerns, you can include them while providing service.
We're so glad we were able to help, Gabrielle! You family's safety is our number one priority, and that includes our furry friends. Thank you for trusting us to identify and take care of your pest issues. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do! - the Barrier Team
