Direct Hit Pest Control has been servicing my house for many years. Brandon always greets me with a smile. He's good at explaining issues without talking down to me. Before he leaves, he will ask if I have any questions or need anything else. The office staff is great, too. When I've called with a concern, they address it ASAP.
