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!
Very courteous and professional.
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…
Great service Milo Mckenzie was very nice and informative. Have been a long time customer and will always recommend Chem-Wise and definately Milo
I have been with Chem-Wise many years; they’ve never let me down. Jose was my technician today, and he was thorough, friendly, and courteous. He re-baited the chipmunk traps, and took care of a small, active wasp nest, along with my perimeter outside. Thank you Jose!
very polite and knowledgeable, he explained all the work to be done and precautions to us.
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.
We've been using Chem-Wise for about 18 years. They are always responsive, professional, knowledgeable and on time. Taylor, has been our tech for at least three years We are so appreciative of the care taken with our home. We don't wear shoes in our house and he immediately takes his off, and knows to keep certain…

Don was on time, friendly and professional.

He did a great job
Very responsive and friendly technician. He made sure we understood the service and asked for questions. Excellent professional.
Milo does a great job, is very conscientious, and just a real gentleman! He is a delight to work with.
Very personal gentleman, took his time and explained what he put down for ants.checked all my mouse traps. Did not get to do outside because it was raining and has to retune.
Dwight did an excellent job. He had to come back to treat the crawl space inside to get rid of the carpenter bees. He got the queen and all! All should be good now. I want to have him come back in Spring to take care of our annual ants.
I am very happy with the Chem-Wise Pest Control Company. Dwight Richards, the technician who came to get rid of carpenter ants, is polite and respectful. He did the job quickly and I have not seen any ants since the treatment. I appreciate the fact that Chem-Wise is an ecological company.
I want to commend Luke Uttenreuther as a great service technician. He is professional, caring pays attention to what you ask and answers in language you can understand. He takes his time to cover all of your issues and goes above and beyond in resolving pest concerns. The service I received is much appreciated and I thank all of you.
Great work bees gone in 48 hours so far great service and price. Will use for other pests I need gone.
Great job. Professional and was sure to ask if I had any questions.
I have used ChemWise now for a few years and they have taken care of my ant problem 100%.. Dwight is the technician I have had the pleasure of working with and he has been great. I would recommend their services and Dwight to anyone..
Great service again from Luke U. We've been with Chem-Wise for years and highly recommend them.
Luke is FANTASTIC!! So is Chemwise. Luke took care of inactive wasp nest. Explained the process and answered all my questions. Thank you.
Very reasonable and great service the wasps were done! It was great to see Juan in action, a very nice person to work with!
Luke did a great job today, as always! Today, he identified baby box elder bugs and took care of putting a stop to the infestation I had going on. Sooo helpful since we’re doing some replanting in those areas. He always has a cheerful attitude and wants to help. I’m really glad that he’s the guy who comes to do the service!
Medin did a thorough and excellent job.
Excellent service. Have been a customer for 4 years. Daniel was great in providing the service and communicating with me. Highly recommend.
Dwight came out to treat our home for ants, spiders, wasps, and mice. I signed up for the tri-annual package and he walked me through everything that entailed. He was very thorough, insightful, professional, and answered all of my questions. I love that the chemicals they use are environmental friendly because I…
Medin, our service professional, was courteous and helpful.
Medin did a really great job treating our home for insects. He is very nice and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Chem Wise.
The technicians are always friendly and professional.
Excellent technician who explained exactly what he was doing and is trying every possible avenue to get rid of my persistent wasp problem
Luke did an excellent job: On time, responsive to our questions, and treated the yellow jacket nest.
All the technicians who have serviced my house have been knowledgeable, helpful, and extremely kind and polite. I have called several times to have them return for in-house treatment (because I was not home when outside treatment was scheduled) and have always been scheduled quickly and easily. Neither my dogs mor…
We have used Chemwise for about 10 years. Their service is affordable and easy to use. If we see any spiders after the regular service they will come out and spray again. We have also used them for mice and carpenter bees. The technicians who come out are courteous and friendly.
Technicians are professional and very thorough in their extermination work and in explaining things. Follow-up is prompt and effective.
Great service, Jesse was nothing but professional. Highly recommended.
Technician was very pleasant and professional. Will use service again if needed.
Tech notified me when on his way. Very prompt and professional. Understood my concerns and explained the difference of certain bees, wasps, and gave approximate time to allow before I can expect to see hornets/bees gone. Friendly & highly recommended!
Sam came to my house with a great plan as he knew that my wife was horrifically afraid of any insects bugs spiders rodents mice anything. Kim wise is awesome so far so good we should see how our trial and air goes in the summer and fall
In a very short time, hornets had built a large nest on my house. I called Chem-wise. Chem-wise provided an appointment the next day, and their technician was on-time, fast, and professional. I recommend Chem-wise!
Service was great and everything was well explained. Very personable and knowledgable
Luke did a fantastic job. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and capable of removing my insect pests. Thank you!
Great service to get rid of wasps.
They are always responsive, professional and courteous! Took care of the problem right away.
Verry dissapointed the first technician did a good job and was good to work with. Removed a lot of wasp nests and crawled around une=der deck and several places. However after 3 weeks still had some wasps another technician came back and was not very thorough. After he told my father in law he did not see anty new…
Austin was very courteous and helpful. He explained everything and even plugged the entryway before he sprayed so the bees couldn’t come in my house. Excellent service! No more bees!
I am happy with the triannual service provided by Chemwise. The office staff and technicians are always professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! Milo was the most recent technician that visited. He used care when working on the house and deck. He also asked questions to gain a better understanding of all pest…
I have had a great experience with the over the past 2 years. No bugs, specifically stink bugs in house, and they take care of what seems to be an annual hornets nest issue!
My company uses Chem-wise for our pest control. We need to abide by LEED so it is more stringent on what is used. They have worked with us and maintained prices for years even with the chaos around us. They come out urgently when needed to maintain employee comfort. I definitely recommend their service.
Sam was on time and thoroughly sprayed the outside of my home and most importantly, closed and locked my gates! Thank you so much Sam.
Chem-Wise has always done a great job for us and are very responsive to our needs. Technician Fredy was very friendly and answered all of my questions as well as asked me to never hesitate to call if we need any follow up services that he can help us with. I appreciate that Fredy and Chem-Wise care that the…
I've used Chem-Wise for years. The Tri-Annual service is a great value. Milo is an excellent technician
