Customers generally praise the company for punctuality, clear communication, and reasonable pricing, noting that technicians are friendly, thorough, and often accommodate pets or specific schedules. Recurring themes include reliable quarterly maintenance that resolves issues with rodents, spiders, and wasps, along with prompt responses to emergency requests. However, some low-rated reviews criticize the requirement for annual contracts, a perceived lack of thoroughness in addressing entry points, and instances where technicians failed to follow specific instructions regarding pet safety or garden areas.

I have had Effective Pest Service for many years now, their prices are great. All of the guys that come out always check in to see how everything is going. I think this company is one of the best!
We have used Effective Pest and Steve since 2014. They are always professional, great at communicating and we never have any trouble with pests. Highly recommended!
We have used Effective Pest for the last few years and we have not seen any mice in our home since! The customer service is amazing, and if I ever need anything they are a phone call away with speedy service. The price is right, too!
I have relied on Effective Pest Service for several years, ever since I had a spider infestation in my house’s crawl space. They took care of that in one visit, and now they return quarterly to keep my house and grounds pest-free. They are courteous, efficient and most effective. I highly recommend them.
We have used this exterminator since we moved in six years ago. They come out several times a year and we have never had a problem with insects or rodents. The servicemen have always been polite and friendly. I would highly recommend this company.
They did a great job spraying our house outside for spiders! And they did not pressure us for monthly visits or subscription.
