Chris Kosinski was very professional and time efficient with his work.
Chris Kosinski. Was the only person from excel pest control. That has actually come and knocked on my door to ask if we wanted them to do pest control. Been in my apartment for 3 months and he actually did the right thing. Can’t recommend him any more.

Chris Konsinski did amazing property inspection and exclusion. Was very patient attentive and made sure everything was done!
We have used Excel for a couple of years now - they do a regular exterior spray and are always happy to come address anything inside if necessary. Our tech is Phil and he’s great with checking in with us and asking if there’s anything we need!
James Wilson is the best! He came out for our initial service and was thorough in setting traps for rodent control and sprayed the whole interior and exterior for insect control. He went over everything with me as a new homeowner and I feel very confident that our issues will be resolved! Highly recommend him!
We have used Excel for 8 years in 2 different home locations. Mr. James Wilson has been our consistent serviceman at this property for the past year.

James Wilson is awesome!!!!!!
Great Customer Service
Today James provided a great comprehensive service. Techs like this are the reason why I still don’t have pests in my home after 5 years of owning it while hearing constant complaints of mice and rats from my Neightbors. Tech James Wilson puts the EXCEL in Excellent. He was even nice enough to give me pet safe pointers on how to keep pests out of my home.
James is excellent—always on time, very thorough, and easy to work with. He explains proactive steps we can take to help prevent insects and rodents, rather than just treating the problem. You can tell he genuinely cares and takes pride in his work. His work has been very effective—we’ve had zero rodent issues at…

Chris K. conducted an extermination service for my mother’s unit. He prioritized the safety of her dog and implemented precautionary measures to ensure that the chemicals used would not pose any harm to her.
James Wilson was amazing! He was very attentive and explained, in detail, what the gel and spray would do as well as what my next steps, if any would be!!!
Tech Dawuan was very nice, respectful and treated very thoroughly throughout basement, kitchen and bathrooms and exterior of the home
James Wilson started the visit with a call to see if there are any concerns outside of the normal preventive services we receive.

Todd was a great help and gave excellent service.
Carlos is absolutely great at what he does. He was able to answer any and all questions and thoroughly explained the services I was receiving. He even followed up to see how things were going which not everyone does these days. Very refreshing. Excel has been great to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone needing their services.
Todd was our technician for a quarterly pest service in South Orange. He was extremely thorough in explaining the process of all of the treatments he was applying both in and out of the house. He also took the time to engage in friendly conversation about our house and our family. I was extremely pleased with his…

Excel Service has exceeded all my expectations. Mike O., specifically, has been amazing. He is accessible, reliable, knowledgeable and consistently goes above and beyond. Working w Mike O. and Excel has significantly improved our outdoor environment.
Mike came out, explained and fixed everything as well as put us on a good plan. He did a terrific job!
Contacted Excel Pest for extermination and Mike did an excellent job.
Excel is awesome! They come when you call. Mice, bugs, Mosquitoes and as of late even spotted lantern flies don’t stand a chance on my property. I want to thank Luis for his professional demeanor and the wisdom he shares Regarding excels process. He was very personable. He’s been to my property a few times, knows…
Mike was fantastic, made it easy to switch from my former company and to Excel. Couldn’t have asked for a better service from him- knowledgeable and did exactly what he said he would, even came back the next day after the initial walk through
Excel was wonderful! They were on time and professional and were able to treat all of my problems in one day! We signed on to use them for all our pest problems. The value they deliver for their price can’t be beat!
Farren is very responsive. Answered all questions with regards to treatments being used. On point with assessments of potential infestation and corrective remediation efforts. Helps select monthly service that is optimized for the needs after inspection. Highly recommended.
Excel is a great, and so are their employees! Mike Yannuzzi met all of my pest control needs! Not only did he take care of my pest problem, he was extremely informative and professional! Will definitely use Excel again! Thank you Mike!
We noticed there were mice droppings and I called and Mike from excel came the same day! Great service and I highly recommend!
Willie has been a great exterminator for over the past year. He is very professional and knowledgeable about the services he provides. I have not seen any pests since the initial treatment. I would highly recommend that if you book Excel pest services, request Willie if you want quality service.
We have a critter in our attic. I called Excel. Will came that afternoon and figured out we had a squirrel coming in. They will be setting up a humane one-way trap that will let the squirrel out of our attic but won't let it back in. Will is very professional and friendly. I like that they have humane approaches to wildlife.
As long as you get one of their more energetic technicians, this is a very applicable service to keep up…..especially when you live in a space where you can’t control the habitat/cleanliness around you.
Michael Y. was a pleasure to work with, he was very professional and thorough in the install of all of our preventative traps and insect monitors etc. He answered all of our questions and was very helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
Ryan came out promptly and did a thorough and excellent job inspecting and clearing our home of any problems. Very professional, helpful, and direct.
Ryan O’Shauggnessy is very quick to respond and incredibly thorough in his work, we have seen a noticeable decline in seasonal pests
I highly recommend Excel Pest Services! Farran was absolutley wonderful! He came in less than 24 hours and solved our mice problem immediately. We have not seen one sign of infestation since he came. He was patient and knowledgeable answering all of our questions and providing us with exactly what we needed! He is…
After calling Excel, I was able to get an appointment, an estimate, and serviced on the same day. Thanks to Farren who covers Essex County. He did such an awesome job getting me started, that I had to sign up for 1 year of service with Excel. Farren was very pleasant and informative throughout the entire process. I…
Ryan was knowledgeable and fully explained what he was doing. In the past we had a basic Pest control service contract, we switched to Excel in the summer for a wasp problem, honestly I was skeptical until today's service. I'm sure my family will sleep a little better, knowing Ryan from Excel did a complete…
Ryan Oshaughnessy inspected our roof for holes and gave us professional advice. We have used Excel pest services before as well and they are just great and very reliable.
The technician that we dealt with, Ryan O'Shaughnessy, was prompt and professional as I had hoped. He provided us with comprehensive solutions to our problem and preventative measures we could take moving forward. Would recommend.
Ryan did a great service for my cabin! It’s been a fear of mine for years to make sure termites would not been an issue. Luckily we found nothing however there was a bit of a bee problem ever since he came and worked on that the bees haven’t been a problem since. I would highly recommend using him!
I can’t say I was very happy with excel ( takes very long to get an appointment and if you have ants crawling in your bedroom you don’t want to wait over a week for someone to come ) . Was even planning to stop our annual contact, however, if I could I would give 10 stars to Ryan O . He has serviced my house…
Thank you to Ryan for being very thorough in his explanation of the services needed (and not needed) and his patience with our questions. His overall knowledge and pleasant demeanor made us feel comfortable with choosing this company.
Willie Duda was very friendly. He called 30min before he came and showed up on time. He explained everything and treated our building. It was easy to schedule the appointment. Thank you Willie for wonderful service!
After seeking to set-up pest control through several other local or national companies, we found and contracted with Excel Pest Services. Ryan O. was professional, knowledgeable, articulate, and personable both during the inspection and our service. We are pleased to have a go-to company and specialist for any pest control issues.
Excel Pest Services were easy to contact, helped to set up an appointment quickly, and were reliable. My house was inspected, options were provided, a quote was given, and a service appointment was made for the next business day. Willie was friendly, efficient, and professional. He went above and beyond to make…
Ryan is very responsive and dedicated to solving any issues.
Willie Duda is a pleasure to work with. He shows up on time. He explains everything carefully and answers follow up texts. He helped me figure out scheduling when I was eager to get going. And he remembers all the different services from Excel which I have used and why. He also had a care for my animals. I am…
I can't give enough thanks to Willey Duda , he is the absolute best hands down. I've dealt with many other companies and after having Willey treat my home I'm confident I will never have to deal with any company other than Excel, so long as Willey is doing the service. Sincerely, Jason Fink
We really enjoy working with Excel and our technician Willie. It’s very easy to schedule appointments and Willie is sweet and professional. He’s also very careful and thorough, which is extremely important for us.
Their technicians are great! Their staff in the office and schedulers are not. They always messed up our bi-monthly account and would try to do more than one service a month and/or come monthly rather than bi-monthly. So, we switched to an "as needed" account. Unbeknownst to us, that canceled our account entirely…
Excellent service. Excel was recommended to me by my neighbor and I’m very happy thus far. Ryan was incredibly thorough and went above and beyond to meet my asks for pest control - which is not an easy task!!
Very responsive and professionals. No bugs in my house since I signed up contract with them
Although Ryan wasn't able to help with the mosquitoes in my backyard (since I have no grass) he was friendly, courteous and offered some great suggestions.
Ryan, our technician was so professional and knowledgeable. We just switched to Excel and are extremely happy we did!! I would highly recommend Excel!
These guys were great. They set up an appointment very quickly. Technician showed up on time, was super professional, and solved the problem. Highly recommend.
