I got estimates from three different pest control companies. Collies was the only one to actually come out to my house. I like the personal service. When they provided the treatment, they arrived on time and were thorough. Billy was friendly and respectful.

This is the first time we have used an exterminator for a wasp issue. We signed up for their yearly plan and the service person Billy was very helpful and explained everything in detail and they responded once we contacted them. Before he left he gave me follow up instructions and answered all my questions. I am very satisfied with the service I received.
