Justin came and was fantastic! Emailed the company early Monday morning and within an hour the office had reached out to schedule an appointment. Justin called me 20 minutes before he was scheduled to arrive. Highly recommend and so nice that’s it’s a family owned business.
Justin
Brian has been very courteous and quick to give us excellent service, taking precautionary measures and preparing for winter. He’s been adamant to find out what is causing the noise in my attic. Checking up every few days, I’m sure the mystery will be solved promptly.
Justin stopped by and was very polite and helpful. He answered all my questions. They are a locally owned company. Would reccomend.
Omar was so thorough and knowledgeable. Checked all the corners and under baseboards for any droppings or signs of entry.
Justin was very friendly and helpful. He explained everything we need and didn't need. He only sold what was necessary. I hope they are like him.
Brian is on point.courteous, efficient and meticulous.very clear in explaining the process.good guy to work with.

Justin was great! Really helpful and knowledgeable!
Brian is phenomenal! 100 percent recommend!
Justin was the best. We were lucky to get him.
Dylan at Excel is the G.O.A.T. He follows up, communicating before and after - handles anything I threw at him as I was trying to sell my house and buy another, came to both properties insured that I was covered at both during a very stressful time for my family. Can’t thank him enough and the Fine folks at Excel.
I called to get rid of the massive cicada killer hornets in my driveway. Dylan was knowledgeable and provided information to help assess the best way to get rid of these hornets.
I would highly recommend Excel Pest Control! Dylan made the entire process so easy and stress free. He communicated every step and was very professional.
Justin was very thorough and knowledgeable! We would prefer to have him as our technician going forward! Great guy.
We’ve been using Excel for probably 8 years for our yearly pest control as well as mosquito and tick control. They are always very professional, and any time we have an issue with a new pest, they are quick to come bye. John from Excel is usually who comes to the house, he is always very professional and very nice, always great to speak with him.
Dylan is friendly and focused. We were very happy with his visit to our home and look forward to working with Excel 👍🏻
John has been servicing our home for 8 years, always very professional and easy to ask questions etc would highly recommend!!!
Angel is amazing! He gave us some great suggestions and does a great job each quarter we see him.
Loved working with Dylan--he assessed my problem right away and came up with a plan to address it and stay on top of it. I like working with Excel because I know if something comes up, they can have someone knowledgeable out here quickly to assist.

Shoutout to Mike Moran for coming and handling our ant issue. He was the only one that that responded asap and handled it all within an hour of calling.
Brian was wonderful! Aside from being friendly he explained everything so well and made us very comfortable.
I called in a bit of a panic this morning and by 12:00pm Dylan was at my door.

Justin seemed extremely knowledgeable and was very kind. He wasn’t pushy on any additional treatments and addressed any questions or concerns I had immediately. The front office has an AI operator which sounds extremely real and it was kind of creepy but got the appointment scheduled.

Angel was here today and diligently inspected the property thoroughly and replaced all the eaten out baits all over our house. He is a hardworking and exceptional technician. Definitely a great asset to Excel Pest Control.
We cancelled Excel for 8 months because we hadn't seen anything in a year plus...what a mistake!! Had to employ them again and this time around Justin has been a lifesaver! Taken care of our full care pest problems. We could not ask for better support 💜!!!
Angel was polite, thorough and accommodating!
Justin has been treating our house for a couple of years now and has always been incredibly professional and pleasant! He always takes the time to listen to our needs and is detailed in the service he provides

Disappointed with the lack of honesty. The technician marked a full exterior inspection and treatment as completed, but camera footage shows they were only at the front of the house briefly and did not perform the work described. I understand weather conditions can prevent service, but documenting work that didn’t…
We’ve been using Excel Pest Control for years, and Andrew is by far the best technician we’ve worked with.

Andrew has been to my house several times over the past few years for quarterly visits as well as one-off issues with bees/ants/wasps. He is polite, knowledgeable and takes my concerns seriously.
Dylan was great, very communicative and knowledgeable. I called originally for a bee problem which was resolved immediately and then decided to go with the whole home coverage/maintenance.
We are continually impressed by the quality service and kind and timely customer response we receive from Excel. Dylan came to our house for mice, but ended up discovering a bigger issue and giving both pests his immediate attention. He, and the rest of the Excel team, go above and beyond what is asked of them and…

I recently had my quarterly service with our pest technician, Ron, and I wanted to share my experience. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with a recurring mouse issue, but Ron was able to identify the entry points that had been overlooked in the past. I sincerely hope this will be the last time I have to address this…
Thomas was very informative and helpful!
