Dikembe T. did a fantastic job covering all the nooks and crannies to get rid of the ants in our house, and in the areas where they were entering. He also cleared all the webs and spiders from the eaves, which the last guy didn't touch, even though he came out several times. I appreciate Dikembe's thoroughness and professionalism.
