I've been using EffectivePest for 5 years, Steve and his staff are highly professional. Any time I've had issues, I make call and I get quick results.

I have a phobia of rodents, and, six years ago, I called Steve at Effective Pest Services in hysterics because of a mice issue.

I’ve been a customer of Effective Pest for about 10 years. During that time, their service, has been consistently of high quality, and affordable.
