We have lived in our home 14+ years and have had various pest services companies. Driven Pest Services - Brandon is amazing! Provides a detailed inspection report at EACH visit. Never misses a visit and if we find anything in between, he comes to resolve immediately. Professional, informative, courteous, and we completely trust him in and around our home. We found him by someone who recommended him to us, and it has been a wonderful experience. The Pest Services business is not glamorous, but when it becomes something you don't ever have to think about again... well, that means you have the right company. No issues with billing, appointments, etc... We highly recommend Brandon & Driven Pest Services.

I started working with Driven Pest after one of this large companies who was doing the work in my house continue to just show up, spray here there, charge me but really no reduction on bugs. So I decided to ask Brandon to come in parallel. Problem solved! The bugs gone, his thoroughness was night and day vs the previous. I paid the cancellation of the other contract right away and was the best decision for me and my family as we hate bugs. Highly recommended!

I’m really glad I found Brendon. I had been trying to get rid of the bees for over a month and nothing was working. He came out, figured out the problem right away, and after one visit they were gone. He was easy to reach, straightforward, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Great service for great price🙌🏻

Brandon has helped me immensely in the past couple of months. We have a large property near the woods with many pest issues, and he has been instrumental in keeping everything under control for us. Ranging from a springtail invasion, rodent exclusion, and stink bug elimination, he was able to figure out a plan for us. He is highly professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and punctual.

I needed to get a yellow jacket nest removed that was in my soffit. Driven Pest Services were very prompt, professional and explained everything they were doing. They mentioned the treatment may take up to a week to two weeks and the yellow jacket nest was almost completely gone by the first few days. I did call around and they have more reasonable pricing for a job like this. I would definitely use them again.

I was extremely happy with the service provided by Brandon. We had a paper wasp nest under our diving board. After an unfortunate incident of someone being stung by a paper wasp and requiring medical care it was urgent we had the wasp nest removed immediately. After calling another company and getting a very high estimate and a wait time of a week I called Brandon Driven. His rates were extremely reasonable and he was able to come out the next day. The service was excellent, professional, clean with no effect to the environment or my dog. Thankfully the wasps and nest are gone and we are able to enjoy our pool without fear of another unfortunate incident. Thank you Brandon. I highly recommend this company!
