Positive reviews highlight punctuality and effective results, with clients noting they do not need to be present during service.

We just had Croach out to our to rid our home and boat dock of spiders and bugs!!! Kyshaun, our technician did an amazing job. He was meticulous in his work and extremely polite in his demeanor. He is an obviously nice person too. Even our dog liked him, (after a short spell of telling us that someone was outside!) Croach started by cleaning the exterior of our home as well as our garage of any spider and bug nests. That when done along with their sprays will kill most of the adults. In 30 days they will be back to kill any bugs that hatched. At that point the house should be pretty much bug free. They come back every two months to keep the critters out. This seems to me to be the most comprehensive method of pest control that I have seen. The place is not totally bug free, but I think we have about a 90% reduction in bugs and spiders relative to when we were using other services.

Croach is unprofessional in how they offer services and promise something completely different than what will be in their contract. I was quoted a one-time $75 fee for mosquito service that would range from August to December. I already have pest control with another company but the salesperson was extremely pushy and wanted me to “help the little guy” out as I always prefer local businesses. I initially declined multiple attempts but did agree to a one-time payment of $75 just to test out their services. In reality it was to rope me into a contract for 12 months and just their mosquito service cost 50% more than my current total pest control service. Expensive and shady business. Run away.
