We have used effective pest control for three years and I.have been very impressed with their service and results. I have recommended them to neighbors and friends and will continue to do so.

I have the plan where they service my home twice a year. They call ahead of time and the tech who services my home is T. Borges. Who always has a great smile.
We have been very impressed with this company. Great prices and always satisfied with the service.
Effective Pest Services really takes the time to find out what/where any problems exist. It's obvious they really care about the level of quality of the service they provide. They stand by the quality of their work and are always willing to come by between services to address any new issues as well. I highly recommend them.

Steve and his team members always arrived in the time window given and gave reminders with updates on our property. The company is trustworthy and prices are reasonable. If the problem wasn’t taken care of the first time (aka wasps) they came out for a second spray with no problem. I highly recommend this company to…
We have been using this company for about 4+ years and have found then to be very reliable, friendly and responsive. We have had to call them a couple of times to come and take care of some bees and wasps. They were here the same day to take care of the problem.
I have had Effective Pest Services since I moved in to my home in 2015. I have never seen an insect inside my home unless I accidentally let it in. I trust Steve and his team 100% to take care of my home, and I never have to think about it. I get people coming by all the time to try and get me to switch, and I…

Effective Pest Services has cared for our property for 7 years. We’ve had many opportunities to switch services, but Steve and his employees have done such a good job that there is no point in switching. Our property backs up to an open space so the challenges of keeping the rodent population away from our…

Steve and his crew are amazing! They do a fantastic job of keeping little critters outside and not in or near our home. We enjoy no bugs all year round with his service. He takes care of wasps all the time. Once we have a new problem he comes quickly to resolve the issue. I highly recommend him!

We have used Effective Pest Services for over 16 yrs and are highly impressed with their professionalism and quality of their operation. The control and effectiveness of their service is far above any other pest control company used by us. I highly recommend this 5 star company to all readers of this review.
We have used Steve and his team for many years now. We initially had issues with ants and spiders but now haven't had problems in years. Steve is always very responsive when we have trouble with bees in the summer or any other issue that pops up. I recommend him to all of our neighbors and friends!
I’ve been very happy with their service. They are very professional and I have never had an insect/rodent issues since using them. If I see hornets trying to build a nest, I can call them and they’ll come out free of charge and do an extra targeted spray. I will continue to use them.
Tanner Fleming was our technician. He was excellent. So personable, informative, and worked so carefully and thoroughly. I would recommend this business to anyone and all the technicians are wonderful but Tanner was especially one of the best. Judie Bevacqua
