Jeremy serviced our apartment for bugs/ant issue, and he first started by explaining the process, where he would spray etc. He also shared that the spray was kid friendly. I liked that he was very thorough, moving the fridge and stove forward to spray in those hard to reach/active areas. Highly recommend their services.
