He explained everything. I feel confident that I will not have pest issues. Current issues are carpenter ants and carpenter bees and wasps and regular ants. Only winged carpenter ants seen indoors. He sprayed and provided ant bate. I will monitor and call if any other issues show up. Peace of mind.

I was disappointed today. Matt was done very quickly then he sat in his truck for several minutes. I was waiting for the after report which I usually get but he never came back to the door. I don’t think he checked any of the boxes in the garage which they usually do.
