Effective Pest Services is the BEST pest company I’ve ever had! They are knowledgeable, reliable, friendly, and on schedule. They come every 3 months and I never have to worry about spiders, rodents, or critters in my home. I highly recommend them!
Polite, worked quickly, took care with work
Steve and his team are amazing!! We’ve used them for a while now at two different houses. We lived in town and he treated our home quarterly. Last year we moved west of town with some property and many more critters. Steve came out and treated the new home before we moved in. Then one day I found a monster of a…
They did a great job spraying our house outside for spiders! And they did not pressure us for monthly visits or subscription.
Steve and his crew are always on time with professional service!
The man that came to provide the service was very friendly and informative of the process. He let me know to step over the freshly sprayed area and that once dried it would be safe.
Jordan was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend using Effective Pest Services for all your pest needs!
Have had this service for about 12 years. Always been pleased with their work. In an unusual case or two, they have come back and taken care of a new wasp nest or whatever is needed, and done so without complaint or additional charge.
We have been using this service for years. We leave for winter and when we return in the spring,there is no dropping or cobwebs in the kitchen and bath areas.
We have relied on Effective Pest Services for over a decade. Steve and his crew are always polite and very thorough. We recommend Effective Pest Services for control and mitigation services.
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 really like their summer and fall inspections looking for and getting rid of wasp and hornet nests. I was impressed when Steve walked my yard this time looking for…
Always calls ahead! Checks in each time and reports what they did! If needed between schedule, they are responsive. Economical and pleasant to work with. They use ecological friendly products. Give them a call.
The whole company is personable and the price is reasonable. They give you personal service without all the ‘Corporate Structuring’ jargon that so many companies are currently using. Since they started treating our home, the difference is amazing! My husband use to treat our house with the standard product you…
These guys are second to none!!! Been using their services for years at multiple houses!! Jordan is the man!
Spiders and wasps are gone and have no rodents! Friendly service!
Jordon is polite and professional! Commented on my dad's artwork which we have hanging in the house which was very nice and appreciated. 😊
We've used Effective Pest Control for years. Jordan has been here multiple times and always does a great job and is very friendly. Thanks for the great service!!
Have always done a great job!!
I have a phobia of rodents, and, six years ago, I called Steve at Effective Pest Services in hysterics because of a mice issue. Steve was kind enough to come immediately and promised I'd never have another mouse in my house. And I haven't. His crew is prompt and professional, and they also keep the ants and other…
They always do a good job and arrive on time.
Great pest control service! Always professional & listen to our concerns. HIGHLY recommend!
very pleased with anything they do for me
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. I’m notified by text the day before a service is scheduled. They will also come outside of the regular schedule if I find a problem (wasp nests!) A detailed invoice is…
Communicative and professional. Always sends a reminder notice. There is a large window timeframe that they service. but always willing to work with individuals.
Christ did an excellent job at our home. He friendly, cheerful and polite. Thank you.
Steve and his team have been keeping our home free of insects, spiders and rodents for years. They do a great job and they always let us know the day before they are coming. We have them come out 4 times a year and we really appreciate that they have always been happy to come back between visits if we have a…
Great pest control company! Their treatments have been very effective, and we’ve noticed a big difference. The technicians are always friendly, professional, and thorough. They show up on time and are a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend
Professional, personable and they do a great job ensuring I have NO unwanted pests! Thank you Steve and Team
Our back deck overlooking a lake had spider problems. They're gone now and we enjoy our deck so much more. Thanks EFP! You do a great job!

We signed up for quarterly applications several years ago and Steve and his crew are the best! Always friendly and polite. We have and had one price hike in all years we've used them! Thanks Steve for everything.
Great company. Have used them past 4 yrs. Always responsive to requests or concerns.
Very service oriented business….really take care of bugs and protect their customers with exceptional communication and follow through.
Effective Pest Control is the only company I’ve worked with who have helped my bug issue. A few summers ago, my house was covered in box elders and we couldn’t even be on our patio. Their first application knocked them out and we’ve kept them under control with quarterly treatments. We are able to enjoy our…
