Effective Pest Control is amazing! They listen to your wants and needs when it comes to pest control. If there are any pests between their service times they are quick to come and take care of it. I live behind a field so we get spiders, mice, wasps and voles. Steve takes care of it all!

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 are most impressed by the prompt and friendly "extra" service we receive beyond the quarterly high-quality inspection/service. Our "special events" have included service calls for wasps, removal of a large hornet nest, and multiple responses to vole invasions. We are extremely happy with Effective Pest…

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
