Ben and Julius were our pest controllers. They were direct and forward about what areas of the house they were going to investigate and spray. They gave us status updates as they were making their way in and out the house. At the end, they gave us a summary of everything they did. They were very easy to communicate with. Thank you Ben and Julius.
