The young man was very professional, pleasant and very thorough. I was very pleased.
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.
Mr. Stephen Shipman, was punctual, friendly, and polite. He did an excellent job and was very detailed oriented.
Elizabeth Golder is a wonderful pest control technician. She always takes time to listen to any concerns I may have and does a very thorough job.
Timothy did a great job
As usual, Antoine did an excellent job of exterminating our home. He changed the rodent traps, removed snakes and bugs from the sticky pads, and removed all spiderwebs around the house.
I've used bulwark pest control for a number of years now and they've never let me down! Orlando council is absolutely the most pleasurable and knowledgeable person to have. He's always thorough And friendly! I'd give Bulear five***** stars
Cory from Bulwark was at my property and he did treat for pests and ants heavily and was kind enough to come back again within a week for a call back service for treating ants. Excellent service from the team. Would recommend to my friends to signup with Bulwark.
Bulwark does great work. They are responsive and very professional.
They are always responsive, communicate well and their service techs are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! Their products keep our home pest free as well!
Mark Williamson from Bulwark Exterminating did an outstanding job. He was incredibly thorough, taking the time to inspect every area carefully and making sure nothing was overlooked. It was obvious that he takes pride in doing the job right rather than rushing through it. On top of that, Mark was friendly,…
Charles was great and very informative! Made sure the entire house and yard was sprayed and made sure my animals were okay!
Antoine is amazing! He’s come out to my house regularly but most recently when I called for a same day Saturday appointment to address a yellow jacket nest at the front porch. He has gone above and beyond in his work and is always so kind.
We have been using Bulwark for 8 years and have been extremely pleased with their service. Antoine just finished our regular treatment and was as professional as could be! It was late Friday afternoon on a very hot day, but he didn’t cut any corners and ensured that our house was all ready. He was a standout…
Terrail Simpson was great! Very knowledgeable and let me know of any problem areas.
Mr. Terrail Simpson was here for pest control. He went above and beyond to explain about the pest control services he performed today at the property as well as gave us some tips to make some improvements as well. Thank you Mr. Simpson.
Bulwark was amazing overall. I called for a quote and they were able to come out the next day. Eric was very knowledgeable and thorough.
Mark was our technician and he did a thorough and professional job. He was proactive and helpful and we’re very pleased. He is a credit to your organization.
Tabatha Overby did a phenomenal job! Treated inside, but was curious enough to dig deeper and went to investigate outside. After finding the ant nest and destroying it, Tabatha even had a moment to connect with our pets. Great service all around!!
The technician that came out was Tim M. and he was very pleasant, professional and took great care to explain each step that he was performing and listened to our concerns and needs. He did a great job and was wonderful to work with. We are looking forward to seeing him on his next visit.
Stephen (Matt) D. performed a thorough outside treatment, and came inside to deal with a localized ant problem. He was Knowledgeable, thorough, and friendly.
We had another great experience with Bulwark today. Stephen Shipman was our tech and he was super knowledgeable. After we told him what bugs we had been seeing and where he explained everything that he was doing and what chemicals he was treating with. He was very thorough and we also decided to upgrade to get our…
Cory Gaynor has been our tech with Bulwark for quite some time. He is great to work with and very trustworthy. He remembers we have animals and always knocks instead of ringing the doorbell, and if we are not home and he sees the animals on the porch, he will not spray near them. Also (and this may sound odd, but I…
Deshawn was great. He was thorough, punctual, and friendly. The company also has the best prices of the four places I compared.
Antoine came out and did a thorough job spraying for all types of bugs, spiders, ants, ticks, fleas, etc. He was very thorough and I would highly recommend him.
It's a pleasure to communicate with a worker who is so efficient and loves their job such as Kassie Kirks .
Eric B always does a wonderful job with reviewing the outside of our home for pest homes including ants, wasps, and yellowjackets. 2 years in and we are still so happy with his work and diligence and helpfulness.
We recently had Bulwark come to home for an initial visit (10/4) and the service tech was Chis Noyda. Chris was extremely professional and courteous. He thoroughly explained every step he taking and pointed out the problem spots we had. I would recommend Bulwark and Chris to anybody!
Timothy Chasteen is professional and at the same time very nice. He asked me each time about my concerns and made sure to acknowledge. Each time he came he looked around the house for additional needs. Bulwark itself has been excellent in customer service with immediate response.
This is our second year using Bulwark's services for our summer ant issue -- and Mikey did such a phenomenal job. He came prepared and ready, even helped us sort out some logistical mishaps and was excited to leave our home in a better state than he found it. Thank you Mikey!
Donald Dioguardo came and did our regular pest control this week. He did an amazing job as always. I love that he takes pictures and lets me know everything he did while taking our time. He pointed out a wasp nest on my front porch that I had no idea about. Thanks again Donald, your a rock star.
Joshua gave us excellent service this afternoon, both inside and outside of our home. Joshua blends a strong professional presence with warmth and friendliness. He listens well and takes care of the job!
Mark Williamson came out to give my rental a full treatment. He told me all I need to know about the bugs (and other critters) around here (moved to NC from MA, so it’s very different) and how to keep my pets safe. He was a huge help. And the price for their ongoing service is about half of what I was quoted from…
An excellent job was done by my technician, Randall Pena, today. I am very pleased as usual.
Randall P went above and beyond to protect our home from pests.
Donald did a great job with my very first pest control service appointment. I'm a new homeowner and he was patient, friendly and helpful. Bulwark came recommended by a friend that uses them. We will see how the bug control works out, but service wise I'm very pleased.
Jackson did a great job, as I've come to expect from Bulwark. Friendly, professional and thorough, he takes the time to explain and to make sure he covers all the bases. My thanks to Jackson.
Chris was absolutely fantastic: professional efficient polite and more than happy to explain each aspect of the process to resolve our sugar an issue. I am happy that he will be doing the outside treatment. Just a real pleasure to talk to and the sincerity and enthusiasm that he shows for both his job and assisting…
Elizabeth Holder checked and ensured my rodent and mosquito stations were baited. She also treated the interior and exterior for ants. In addition, she discovered termites in one of my flower beds and provided a mitigation plan for my review. She always ensures that my home is covered to reduce pest issues. She’s the best!
Paul Moore has been treating our home and backyard for about 5 years now. He listens to your concerns and is diligent about finding the source of the problem. He is always on time, pleasant, respectful, and friendly. I continue to ask for Paul when our pest treatment is due because I know that he will be thorough. Thanks, Paul Moore!
Robert "Matt" Welsh was our tech, and he was OUTSTANDING! He was professional, courteous, and thorough; he asked questions and was responsive to our needs and to our pest problems. THANK YOU for going above and beyond to work us in to your busy schedule! Great tech!
Bulwark is the best I have used. Donald Dioguardo was my guy this time and like all others, he was cordial, told me what they were doing and even sent me text when done. Great company to do business with.
Tim Chasteen ( Elizabeth is the other one ) is one of my go to guys with Bulwark. Anything that needs attention, he is on it. Came by this week for a retreat due to excessive spider webbing and mosquitos this summer. I would recommend asking for Tim to be your regular service tech.
Tabatha Ouerby did outstanding job.
Orlando Council showed up as scheduled per text the day before. Quickly and quietly went about the process without disturbing my family in the house. Took care of specific special issue I wanted addressed in addition to the general treatment.
Responsive, consistent, courteous and capable? Yes, that is exactly what we have found with Bulwark pest control and specifically our rep Tellas, who recently came back to us! No matter what pest appears, this team addresses it and teaches us about what to expect, how to prevent and how to treat for pests in the…
This was our first time using Bulwark. Vincent arrived promptly at the scheduled time, and we discussed the job. He explained what he would do and inspected the outside and inside of our house. He then did a thorough treatment of our house. Vincent was pleasant and personable. He was also very professional.…
Been working with the same Tech, Eric, for a year and he is great. Takes time to ask some questions, looks into areas of concern and offers advice and additional suggestions for prevention and maintenance. Appreciate his professionalism and quality service!
Eric Burgin always does a great job and is always friendly and professional. He took care of a wasp nest for me easily and effectively! Eric is really a great guy!
Tabitha is always very thorough and friendly. She has done a great job getting rid of the ants in my kitchen and I really appreciate it!
Our experience with Daniel Vines was great! He was responsive, informative, and professional. We appreciated that he was prompt and efficient. Bulwark was super easy to set up and for pest control.
We have been using Bulwark Exterminating for some time, and Joshua Tamarit has been our primary field technician/representative. He is very responsive, informs us when he is coming or has completed service, and he has provided specific and effective treatments for our situation. I highly recommend Joshua and Bulwark Exterminating.
Kudos to Daryl G and the Bulwark Team. My wife was on the patio and she stated: "I don't know what Daryl sprayed but we have a lot of bugs on the patio that are bottom up." Job well done!!!!
We had ants in a particular part of the house last week. Jesse treated them. He suggested we request a follow up visit this week, to ensure there were no further issues. Even though we did not have a recurrence of the ants, Jessie came by today and did a follow up treatment, as requested. He's seems to be a…
Daryle is very through with his inspection and treatment for general pests in and around my home. If I ever have any concerns, he responds quickly and makes sure the issues are resolved.
We have been using bulwark for quarterly services now for over a year and have been thrilled with our results. They are always timely and attentive to whatever specific needs we require at our quarterly visits. The fact that they allow you to schedule free retreatments in the interim is value in itself! Jesse was…
Paul Moore is always professional and very nice. He listens to concerns and treats accordingly. Would recommend him and Bulwark to all.
Bulwark Exterminating team is very professional in completing the task on time and always in every time we request for support. We are with them for last 5 years. Today's credit goes to Eric Burgin who is knowledgeable ( how to treat between dry walls and to maintain cleanness inside home at the same time while…
Jaiden is a pleasant person who does his work efficiently. He was careful to explain everything to us. We appreciate his attention to detail. He is welcome in our home anytime.
Daryle Gee is the best! Highly recommend Bulwark. We get the mosquito treatment as well as general house treatment to make sure no unwanted guests take up residence. Daryle noticed ground bees before we did and took care of them, I have a little one who is terrified of getting stung so having that taken care of…
Matt W. is great. Very friendly and incredibly professional service.
Tellas Richardson started treatment for fire ants in and around our home in November. We saw an immediate improvement. It has been such a relief knowing our kids can play in our yard without accidentally disrupting a nest. Tellas has helped us reclaim our yard! So so grateful!
Just sold our home and so sad to be leaving the area. Bulwark Exterminating has been servicing our home for 10+ years. We have never experienced any critter problem that they could not efficiently take care of. We will miss our favorite "bugman", Eric and all the other very professionals sent to handle our needs. We hands down give Bulwark 10+ STARS!!!!
This was the second time Eric Burgin had visited my home and I can say with confidence that he is the best tech I have ever worked with. Very professional and thorough. The service you get when you call is also outstanding. I am glad I found this company.
I continue to be so impressed with Bulwark. It is a very responsive company and has kept myriad pests at bay. Tavian did a yet another wonderful job today.
I am very pleased with the services I had performed this morning. Daryle Gee was very pleasant, informative, and thorough. He had phenomenal customer service and goes above and beyond by explaining each step of what he’s doing, what it’s done for, and what to do when he is finished. He was sure to explain the…
Serviced by Trevis Jackson. Trevis took the time to really explain where the ant infestation could be coming from and made significant effort to spray and spread granules to treat at the site and source. I have been a Bulwark customer for 10+ years and although I've been completely satisified, the service Trevis…
We were dealing with an excessive amount of ants and spiders entering our home and Tim C. showed up and took care of the problem almost immediately. He sprayed the interior and exterior and he was very thorough and he answered all of my questions and put my concerns at ease!
Bulwark has always been professional and easy to work with. We appreciate the free re-treatments when we've needed them.
Our treatment was done by Erik and while he provided excellent pest extermination, he also went ABOVE AND BEYOND! First, let me speak to the excellence he provided with pest control. I informed him that we had earwigs and ants in my flowerbeds and in some flower pots. He sprayed the inside of our home to keep any…
Tellas was extremely professional, arrived promptly, and provided a detailed explanation of services.
Eric Burgin always does a great job. He’s timely and answers all my questions.

Dwayne from Bulwark was on time, professional and went the extra mile to treat the issue.
Moved to this company from another and it is like night and day. They are always on time, go above and beyond, and are very knowledgeable, not just a guy with some chemicals but explained common pest issues.. Our first visit everything they did was explained and made us feel better about our service. Timothy C is…
Thomas did a great job of explaining the treatments he applied. He also had some useful tips for pest control. I would highly recommend this company.
Great service and friendly staff. Thomas was professional, informative and you can tell he know his stuff! I look forward to having him as my regular exterminator!
I have been using Bulwark for nine months. Initially I had so many bugs and critters! I called them every time I found one in the house and they were always extremely responsive. Things are under control now and they’ve done an excellent job. Thanks for great service, Jesse and the team!
Eric does a great job!
We've never had a problem with our service from Bulwark Exterminating. They always let us know when are coming out and have done a great job for us. Thomas Pulliam provided our service today and he was very friendly and professional. I recommend anyone looking for pest control try them out.
I've been using Bulwark for several years now, and I've continually been happy with their service. I'm on a quarterly preventative treatment plan and, in addition to the regular treatments, they've also come out on several occasions to deal with pests that have shown up outside the house (such as yellowjackets).…
We have used Bulwark for about 10 years and have never been disappointed. Our current technician is Paul Moore and he is excellent. He explains what treatment he going to use and why, he asks if anything else is needed and makes sure his customer is satisfied with everything before he leaves.
Bulwark Exterminating - Jesse did a professional job and he is friendly. He went above and beyond to help with my problem. So glad I used this company! Thanks
Jesse is great and is super attentive to any problems when they crop up from time to time. Thanks again Jesse

Been using Bulwark for quite some time now and have ALWAYS been impressed with their professionalism! Always quick to provide us with the best service around! Daryle is THE BEST! Always sends pics when necessary of any issues found or needs to be done! Thx Daryle!!!
My technician Marcus R. came in knew exactly what I needed. Used all of the knowledge necessary to get the job done. Will recommend to family and friends.
I have used Bulwark for several years on my two unit duplex. Their personnel is always professional and prompt. I like the fact they send an email with a picture and phone number of the technician that is coming out to the duplex. They are responsive if I have any questions or issues. I will continue to use their services and would recommend them.
Eric Burgin is awesome - always pleasant, respectful and a joy when he comes by. He's thorough and happy to explain what he's doing and why. I'm very pleased with this service and highly recommend Eric. Susan Teran

Over the years I've been a customer of Bulwark for a long time. Tellas Richardson is our pro and is fantastic! Answers all my questions and makes sure we are provided the service we need each visit based on what pests we may have seen.
Josh Ungar was our service technician and he was wonderful. Polite, friendly, efficient, on time (came within 15 minutes of the start of our 3 hour appointment window-unheard of!) and did a great job! I would recommend Bulwark to anyone!
My technician, Tabitha, is awesome. She is on time courteous, and always goes out of her way to make sure any issues or trouble spots I'm having are addressed. Thank you!
Great customer service. Very friendly. Very professional.
Orlando Council is great. He has always been professional and kind to my family. I would recommend him to everyone. We will not use another pest control company or tech.
I was reluctant at first but decided to give Bulwark a try. The service was performed by Darryle in a professional manner. Darryle contacted me with the estimated arrival time and immediately introduced himself and explained his service steps. The job was completed in a timely fashion and I was reassured of the…
Orlando Council was excellent
Tellas Richardson treated my house today, and he is awesome. Not only is he incredibly kind, but he asked me about any issues I was having so he could address them specifically. He found issues I did not even know the house had and had them fixed before I even knew they existed. Great service!
Are used to work at my previous home and was pleased with their service then. I was just this please this time in my new home. Thomas was on time, professional, polite, and courteous. He explained things very clearly. Follow-up visit: Tellas did a wonderful job! We are so pleased with this company.
Bulwark is simply the best pest control service I have ever used -- -Josh is always on time (or adjusts his schedule if I request it), and always provides friendly service! Great work!
Tim was our "bug guy", and he was terrific. Friendly, smart and professional, he took time to explain what he was doing, and where. Also took time to use caution around any areas our dog might frequent (water dish, etc.) Would highly recommend.
Very pleased with treatment process. Technician is Josh Ungar with Bulwark Exterminating, explained areas that needed treatment and to be careful around exterior plants, flowers, and certain areas of newly seeded yard. Josh followed through with everything needed and I appreciate his patience in what I needed…
We have been customers since we moved into our first home 4 years ago and we are still very happy with their service. We had a wonderful technician today named Joshua who was one of the best yet. He was prompt, professional, courteous, and already had a mask on when I opened my front door. This was extremely…
Ryan Schofield came out today for our initial service. He was prompt and professional. Extremely polite and thorough. Took his time to cover everything and answered all my questions. Thank you so much, I hope I will be able to request him back for our regular treatment.

I have had Bulwark for a number of years. I have meet a few technicians over the years and they have been very responsive, helpful and professional. We have had Ryan Schofield out on our site for our standard treatment and taken care a number of issues we ran into the past few months. He has taken care of our issues and we want to thank him again.
We found snake skin in the crawl and put in a service request. The crawl is low with low visibility and would have to crawl to get to the problem area. They sent the technician Elizabeth Golder who pulled it out and treated the crawl with snake away. She is very professional and promptly took care of the issue. Thanks Elizabeth and Bulwark!
I have the quarterly treatment with Bulwark and it is really good. The service their personal provide is excellent. This time I contacted them because I started to see few cockroaches and spider around my home and some of them started to go inside. Eric Burgin came 2 days after I reported the pests as it was…
Orlando at Bulwark Exterminating always does a wonderful job at our facility. He's been accommodating and flexible with service times and is always incredibly friendly. We usually have a lot of bees and other insects flying around, but when Bulwark stops by, we don't have to worry about anything bug-ging our customers!
We have used Bulwark for many years now. What I have seen every time is courtesy, and quality work. They always ring my bell to let me know they are here, and immediately start getting rid of those pesky webs. Eric takes his job seriously, and is very friendly.
