Very satisfied with Bowers. There are very reliable, knowledgeable, and professional. Having Bowers take care of my mice problem made me feel confident than when I was trying to deal with it on my own. Not only do they just set better traps, they actually seal off outside entry points. I will always call Bowers for…
Bowers has been in business for many years. I remember when they first started up and if I remember correctly they did a lot of raccoon calls to start out with. Over the years they have expanded and they are simply the "go to" place to get rid of pesky, bugs, animals and more. Dan came to my house and tackled the bee issue we had going on. He worked hard and long and we are completely pleased with the service. The only pest control I would recommend to others.

The prep list is very easy to understand and super simple to do. I have not had any issues since my home was treated. Had orkin come in for quote 2 days before they said 2500$ and didn't even find a bed bug 🤯🤯. I recommend this company to anyone.

My husband and I are new to the area and found this company through its overwhelmingly positive Google reviews, so I wanted to share our experience and help spread the good word.
Dave Jr. came out to investigate a suspected mouse problem and has been incredibly kind, professional, and courteous throughout the process. He provided a free inspection and consultation, thoroughly explained what he found, and walked us through every step of the recommended solution.
We were nervous about the cost after seeing the prices charged by some of the larger competitors, but Dave has been transparent, honest, and willing to work within our budget. He took the time to show us the problem areas, answer all of our questions, and create a plan that works for our family.
It's clear that he genuinely cares about helping people.

The Cody guy sucked when it came to taking care of the stinging insects around the building at brookside. However the new guy who replaced them was much better at taking the time to listen and way more helpful . And he actually addressed the issue. . Thank you.
