We’ve been using ChemWise for their tri-annual service for four months now, and we are thoroughly impressed! Their proactive approach has kept our home completely pest-free. Skyler is always punctual, professional, and great to work with. Highly recommend their regular service plans for total peace of mind!

We have been a customer for many years, Chem-wise has never disappointed us, from the office staff to our Technician Milo we are always pleased with our service. We appreciate Milo calling before he arrives so we have time to let our dogs out or in and unlock our gates. Any special requests we have are always…

Wasps created nests in two decorative trees near the house. The tech treated those and went around the house treating a couple of other spots with inactive nexts as well as places they are likely to choose. The tech informed me before and after the service in thorough and detailed manner.

Gio does a great job, and he’s such a nice guy. Had Jose for another visit. Jose was great! He was thorough, quick, and friendly. Love Chemwise. Update: just had Donald out for our tri-annual service, and he was great too!

Andrew Temen from Chem-Wise Pest Control did a great job for the second application for mice at new location. He explained everything and took care of all the areas we wanted to target for 'mice activity'. He offered to return in two weeks to ensure the issue resolved. He was very professional and we are fully satisfied with his service. We are a 10 year old customer for Chem-Wise at our business as well as home and are fully satisfied with their service. A delighted customer!!

10/2026 Medin continues to do a thorough job, even turning out lights when he is finished a room. I'm so glad he is available! 7/2026 Always a pleasure to have Medin here! Current 6/11/26 Medin was out fir a call back. He remembers what he has done before and gets to work. Always pleasant and thorough. Thanks! Current post, 5/8/26: Skyler was very helpful, explained everything and answered my questions. He was great to work with. Previous post: Medin did a fabulous, thorough job as always. It's a pleasure to work with him. He is definitely a keeper.

Andrew was absolutely outstanding. He deserves 10 stars! He was very courteous and quite knowledgeable. He explained everything he was doing and did a very thorough job of applying the necessary applications in all areas. I have never had better service with Chem-wise than the service Andrew provided. I hope to have him do all my future services. If he isn't available in Spring I now have a standard of what to expect from other service reps that you send out. Thank you Andrew!
