Connor and Brilliant Pest Solutions assisted our family with a yellow jacket nest. The yellow jackets were very aggressive and difficult to figure out exactly where they were coming from. With young children at home it was important to get rid of them immediately. Connor responded the next day after making contact…

Brilliant Pest Solutions is by far my favorite pest control company to use. Connor and his team provide quality service! When we bought our home we had a lot of spiders in our yard and cockroaches.

I called in need of wasp/hornet inspection and possible extermination. Connor was able to come out right away, he was professional, on time and very thorough. It appeared we did not have a wasp nest in our attic (good news) however, if I am ever in need of pest service in the future I know who I will call!
