We recently had a football-size wasp nest show up on a front yard bush. When Mason came by for our regular exterior pest inspection and treatment, I told him about the nest. He then quickly and professionally removed the nest and took it with him.
The technician did a great job.
Kurt was very knowledge and explained everything in detail. He is an asset to the Fox Company.
Fox has been very prompt and reliable. The service tech was quite informative and personable.
Jay was very knowledgeable, professional, respectful and personable. He was also extremely thorough. He thoroughly checked the interior areas I pointed out to him, due to ongoing mice issues. He also sprayed the exterior of the house, and tended to the lawn with insect product. Jay checked with me upon arriving…
Mikhail was very thorough treating my property. We had a massive invasion of stink bugs which he immediately went to work to eliminate. Mikhail went above and beyond going into the attic to spread dust to keep the insects from entering the house as well as treating the entire perimeter of our home and property. I…
Great technician. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
I was fortunate enough to have James as my first tech.He is very respectful and precise in his application.Hes also friendly and I would invite him to a barbecue. Sincerely J. Jeffrey Upton
Very positive experience! Happy with the service they have provided so far given the fact that I live near the ocean and had a serious problem with rodents. So far Fox has been on target in containing the spread of rodents in and around the area of my home. Only problem is when a different tech. shows up as I get…
Richard Mason came out to address a potential wasp or hornet nest in our garden after my wife got stung multiple times while gardening. Richard did a fantastic job of clearing the area and treating it. He was well prepared with all the right equipment and reviewed all of the work with us. He is great and we…
Technicians that come out remember how I like to treat my property. Good consistency
Nora is Absolutely fantastic! Thank am hopeful that Nore can continue to be our technician. The time and care she took to honor our treatment requests are unmatched. She went above and betond
Tick and mosquito treatment has been great. Sign up was simple. Communication before treatment by text is very helpful to remind me so I can let my dog out beforehand.
I want to thank your group again for all they do. We have not had a problem at all since you started. Tonight I was out at dusk weed wacking my lawn and was very pleasantly surprised that I didn't have one bug come after me. I don't have a working lawnmower so I can only do so much each time with the weed wacker,…
Harrison G. was right on time for the appointment, was courteous and professional. He addressed all my requirements to satisfaction, reviewed respectfully some areas of concern, leaving a quite positive impression of his & Fox capabilities. Appreciated, Paul
We always get great service. Hard worker, goes above and beyond. He is able to explain what he is using and doing. Never rushes. Great representative of the company.
Although I wasn’t home when Alexander came he left a detailed account of what he did. I saw him on my Ring camera doing the work. I’m very impressed with the company as I did meet them a few months ago No complaints. Professional & courteous
What I have learned from living in a house surrounded by woods is this: from the ants, carpenter bees, stink beetle... You name it, they want to live in wet wood. Homes age, roofs age and water finds its way, and so do the pests. The Fox quarterly treatment is the only program I have found that works to prevent costly damage.
Good job on all that was done but what about the wasp nest that I had asked to be taken care of?
They’re very attentive and responsive! You get exactly what you pay for with professionalism and results. I’ve had multiple carpenter bees, and a big roach problem which they have tackled and I am more than satisfied with how everything has been handled. David E has been our main technician, very…
Richard came today and provided excellent customer service. Very polite and cordial.
Russell was Professional and responsive. Received nothing but good service.from every single Fox employee. who I have worked with through Fox, pest control has been professional , kind and well knowledgeable. It appears that their employees must be good because they all seem very happy and like their job.
Technician was very friendly and courteous.
Scott did an amazing job and was very thorough. Great personality and answered any questions I had. He explained everything he did for us with the applicants and we can’t be happier with the service!
Russ was on time and did a great job explaining the source of our bug issue. He sprayed inside our kitchen, and then also swept and sprayed around the outside where we have many spiders and web issues. We just recently developed an ant issue in our paved walkways and he sprayed there as well. We appreciated the…
I wanted to provide a great review for my Fox Tech Bernard Carter. He listened to every concern I had and explained how he was going to treat them. He spend extra time in the areas of concern and arrived promptly with texts stating ETA.
Very helpful. Explained services being applied. Friendly and polite. Great technician!
Once again Mason did a great job. He knows where all the bait stations are located and he quickly went to work checking them. He then sprayed the property for ticks and ants and other pests. He is always very thorough and takes the time to listen to and address my concerns. I do want to mention that since Fox…
Alex Osorio is amazing. He is knowledgable, respectful, kind, prompt and professional. I am very happy to have him service my home and yard.
Tech was nice and explained all he was doing. He was quick. He was here and then gone. I question all the services because the bee hive is still there in the back corner of the house?
Alex did a great job

My kitchen suddenly had a big ant infestation this week, so I immediately called Fox Pest Control. Mason arrived at my home within 2 hours, assessed the situation, and treated both inside and outside the house. By that evening the ant problem was gone! I am amazed and, of course, a very happy customer!! Thank you, Mason!!!
Very conscientious, very personable.
Great service! Very friendly and professional service person.

Fox Pest technician, Matthew Nadeau, is awesome- shows up at the times he says he is going to, is polite, professional, and friendly.

jeffrey graf did a great job and was very professional and friendly
Chris K took great care of us for our yard enjoyment service. I spend a ton of time outside and haven’t been bitten by any mosquitos at our house — but when I walk my dogs around the neighborhood they swarm me — so I know the treatment is effective! Plus, my dogs are tick-free! Thanks, Chris!
Excellent, knowledgable, and speedy service. I've had other pest control services before, but I love the customer service and care of Fox Pest the best. Quarterly they take care of the inside and outside of my house for pests such as mice and ants. I love their monthly summer service with use of natural products…
Jason was AMAZING. Great information provided as well as explaining ways to prevent the issue we are having.
