He gave me a true time frame and made it within that framework. That’s critical to me bc my yard is gated and I have to know when to unlock the gate. I really appreciate that!
Eddie did the most thorough job of any service technician performed by Cook’s to date.
Everytime I need assistance they there on time.
We love Robert. He always takes care of us promptly.
Have had really good technicians and they are professional at what they do. Also very friendly.
Good service, haven’t had near the outside bug problem as in years past !
Ray Nichols came out to my home and did a wonderful job. He was very knowledgeable and was very polite. I would 10 out of 10 recommend.
Technicians are very easy to work with and always contact you to schedule your service. Sometimes we never knew they were here, just knew they were coming.
Professional and on time. I also love that the products used do not irritate my children or pets!
Used Cook’s for years! Excellent service.
By far the best pest control service in our area. We have another pest control company that services my place of employment and after seeing the two services I wonder how that other company stays in business. Cook's is by far the best in our area hands down.
Great value for services done. Got the full complete package ie termite extermination, crawl space doors and vents. Will definitely recommend and use again if need be. Thanks Valante, Jonah and Rocky.
A great pest control company as their customers service is A +++.
Each representative that I interacted with was very respectful and knowledgeable about the different pest of the summer season and the process that Cook’s uses to control and/or eliminate these pests, and they were also very thorough during the inspection of our home. The entire process was very customer-friendly,…
Ever since Cook's has been coming to my home, I have not had a problem with spiders. Before I had called them, I was had a lot of trouble with spiders in my bathtub and shower area, and also in my garage. Our serviceman Carl is a great guy too. He is so friendly and helpful.
Excellent service and amicable people.
Richard Buck is an amazing technician! He's been there anytime I've called concerning an issue. It's been one year since starting service with Cook's and I couldn't have been more pleased with the service that's been provided. I highly recommend using Cook's Pest Control!
I would hire them again.
Service is dependable and workers are friendly. They do a great job.
Termite technician Jeremy and the pest control technician Zac are very friendly and thorough.
My Cook's technician (Rick Wilkins) is helpful, professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and always calls me each month to let me know the date and time frame for that visit. With Rick's conscientious attention and thorough follow-through in targeting ant hills in my yard, plus the excellent Cook's pest control…
Great exterminator company
Knox is an awesome service provider! He is so helpful and knowledgeable and not afraid of the unknown in my attic! I truly appreciate his professionalism and expertise and wonderful personality! Thank you, Knox!
I live in Clanton and they service this area, Ray does a wonderful job! I get the quarterly and haven't had pest issues since and I live in a very old house. It's very affordable even for me and I have fixed income and it's worth it if you have any kind of pest issues they are very timely and always let you know…
Very responsive and professional.
Cook's has kept our home safe from termites for over 20 years with the Sentricon system. Tech is friendly and professional, brings treats for our dogs - they love him!
The service is outstanding. I never have to worry about any bugs.
Cook's Pest Control is an excellent pest service. The service technician is friendly and informed. He arrives on time, does his job, and is own his way. He always asks if there are questions, or anything else he can do. The report is east to read online and has been correct. I am very pleased with this service…
Great company. Very responsive and professional.
Richard is always here when he says he will be. When we first moved into our home there were roaches everywhere! Well we called Cooks out and within a month and a half they were gone! I am very pleased with there service and I love walking barefoot outside, it’s great to also know that I won’t step in an ant bed.
I have been a Cook's Pest Control customer for years and I have throughly enjoyed their service. My technician Ray Nichols is super nice and I always receive a text from him the night before he comes just to check and see if I have any problems or concerns. Excellent quality and customer service.
