We had a great experience with Explorer Pet Management! Rick was our technician and he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and thorough. We had the month-long package and he was extremely reliable, showing up on the same day at the same time each visit. We really enjoyed working with Rick and would absolutely use this company again in the future!

Explorer Pest Management has been a great company to do business with. I've been a customer for over 2 years and they have always been punctual and respectful of property. They have been wonderful at keeping their prices stable, there were no surprise rate increases after the first year like some of the competition like to do.
