Hunter from CLAE came for the initial visit. He was nice & polite. He was very knowledgeable about insects and I jokingly told him that he should get a PhD in entomology. He explained in detail on the treatment of the few issues we were experiencing. We were very satisfied with this initial visit.

Clae Pest Control did a nice job explaining their services and finding a plan that best met our needs. The technician took the time to review areas of concern and tailored the approach accordingly. We’ve had two services and they were professional and prompt. Glad we went with them.

Deceptive sales tactics. I was solicited at my door by a salesman who claimed to have worked for the previous owner, but that turned out to not be true. The actual service is suspect too. They charge $200 for about 10 minutes of actual work. They also constantly cancel and reschedule appointments. DO NOT USE THEM

Never say never… I hadn’t heard of Clae yet, but I knew in the back of my mind that we had a need. I met Sam for the first time, and he clearly articulated the costs and benefits of their services.
