Effective Pest Services for mosquito extermination
Clear ✕All 15 Google reviews tagged “Mosquito extermination”
A year ago I would have given 5 stars. They have been coming too early in the year and say they can't tell where the ants will be a problem until they show up. Then when they do show up they tell me to pay again for early services.... Previously they would come back when they did show up to the problem without…
Great efficient service!
After trying many insect removal and prevention companies- I have NEVER been as pleased with my service as I am with effective pest service! They are always on time to the appointment, very kind and respect our home. Every visit we discuss any new concerns or problem areas. They go above and beyond in placing spider…
I have been using Effective Pest Services for the past 4 years for quarterly pest control services and could not be happier. They are polite and professional. They always show up on time and update me on any issues they discover. Highly recommend.
We have been very impressed with this company. Great prices and always satisfied with the service.
Semi annual inspections and spraying are done along with leaving spider traps, by polite and knowledgeable technicians. They always with a call beforehand to be sure it is a convenient time for us. I would recommend their services.
I have used this company since 2015. They are a great company to work with, and will highly recommend to anyone looking for pest control! They are amazing!
Effective Pest has the best customer service, responsiveness if needed outside regular service to mitigate a problem and extraordinary professionalism
We just moved into a new house and hired Effective Pest right away because we heard they were great. It’s been 10 months and we’ve not had a single spider, rodent or anything else in the house! Definitely recommend them!
Very good timely service
I have been using Effective Pest for 7 or 8 years and can only say positive things about them. Always there every 3 months, they call ahead to tell us when they will come go over and go above what I have expected from experiences with other pest control companies. I Have referred them to many neighbors who all feel as positive about them as I do
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’ve been using Effective Pest Services for a couple years now. Steve texts us to let us know he will be out to spray in the following couple days. Always shows up, and because of their processes, we never have rodents or spiders in the house. We were referred by family to him, and have referred our neighbors as well. Huge fans of what he does for us!
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.
