Michael at Dolphin Pest Control has been our guy for over 15 years. He is very professional. You will not find a nicer gentleman. He has to be one of the most intelligent people I know. I guarantee you will be happy with his work and probably get a life friend in the process.

We’ve been using Dolphin for regular pest control, and Michael has been our technician and is the owner. He comes every three months and always provides excellent service. Since he began treating our home, the ant problem we were dealing with has significantly improved, and the millipedes we used to see regularly…
