Zack came back for a follow up inspection & treated the issue again. He asked questions, explained the treatment, & was done quickly with very little disruption. Outstanding service!

Zachary is an excellent technician and I don’t expect anything less than exceptional service from Clear Defense. I’ve never had an issue with them and if needed in between visits, all I have to do is call. No extra charge and no delay. Great company and great Service Specialists.

I called for short notice treatment due to growing insect issues, and was quickly scheduled for Saturday service. Miguel came out promptly on Saturday morning. The entire exterior was treated. The insects have mostly gone away now. Happy to have our home treated. Very prompt and professional service!

Christian is excellent! Christian explained the service, and I did not feel he was trying to rush through his work. My neighbor was so impressed with the external service that they asked for his contact. I recommend this company.
