Dylan was very professional & pleasant!!
Arren was very cordial and spent time at the house.

Peter was extremely thorough, knowledgable and caring.
Sosa was great - knowledge and thorough
Mathew Nassau is one of the best technicians to service my house. He made many helpful suggestions
Mason Binder of Fox Pest Control did an excellent job today at my house, and wrote a comprehensive report for me, including several pictures. I really appreciate his service.
One of the prime spaces for mice to live in is air-conditioning units. The technician had no clue how to take the cover off to get the house that was inside. I had to supply pair of needle nose, pliers pull it out without taking the cover.
Sosa is great!!!
Fox has been very consistent in their handling of pest control around the exterior of our home and recently with mice inside. Technicians are well trained, courteous, and friendly.
Xavier Gutierrez did an exceptional job. We have continued to get mice in our basement despite having Fox service for some time now. Xavier thoroughly inspected the basement and then spent time outside trying to determine entry points and sealing them. Both my wife and I were impressed with his thoroughness and and…
Ask do Jonathan…Excellent!
My home was under scrutiny, both inside and outside, which led to identifying sections to station the treatment paraphernalia. Thereafter, he showed me the spots needed to be watched. I would say Brett's careful examination and attention to details were satisfactory which made my day.
From start to finish a professional and effective job. Ashley was extremely thorough and explained the service in understandable terms when she arrived at our home. Not only did Ashley arrive completely prepared for the task at hand ..in addition she identified possible problem areas around the entire home. From…
Our technician David was great! Communicated clearly about the time to expect him. When he arrived he addressed the exact issue we were having. He was super friendly, worked quickly and cleanly. He fixed the problem, and gave us his professional opinion about any next steps needed. We really appreciated his help! Thank you!
Today I had an incredible experience with one of the Exterminators from Fox Pet Control, his name is Zachary Hogle, he was excellent, 10 out of 10
Zachary was great.
It sounds like everything on the outside of the house was taken care of. Josh called and texted a number of times to let me know that he would be there and that he would not be coming inside the house on this visit. Appreciate that.
Jason was very professional and efficient!
Dylan was thorough with his inspection. He is always friendly and informative. Great job!
They were very responsive to our problem. The technician was very friendly, helpful and thorough.
They sent a technician out within 2 days to take care of bee and wasp nests. Treated the whole house for pests and insects. Explained their process well. Friendly and professional technician, Luis was great.
We were happy to have Daouda Saiwai treat our house and yard. Fox is lucky to have Mr Saiwai represent their company. Nothing I asked for him to do was a problem. He also spent time offering tips and showing me how to minimize nuisance pests. Daouda's relaxed, friendly and determined attitude will get him far in…
We have been so pleased with the service and attention to detail with Fox Pest Control. We highly recommend them to home owners. All of the techs have been super, but there is one tech that truly embodies the 'above and beyond service' and that is Zach. His supervisor that trained him deserves credit as well. We love Fox!

Fox Pest Control has been excellent! Ashley Arroyo is wonderful! We initially had them come in to deal with issues we were having with springtails and carpenter bees.

Jonathan was great today, as usual! His extensive knowledge and years of experience have been invaluable to me. In my opinion, allowing Jonathan to pass on his expertise to other technicians would be a smart move on the company's part. He doesn't just throw down chemicals that could harm my pets or koi. He has…

Very courteous and professional young man, he introduced himself and then went about his business!
Pablo was incredibly informative and clearly explained the services that were done to my home, as well as what the additional visits will entail. He immediately addressed my biggest concerns (spiders in my basement) and I now feel MUCH more comfortable knowing my home is in good hands!
Due to family matters and replacing my missing credit card our services stopped in January, after several years of constant service. We had wild kingdom erupt in April! It dawned on me we haven’t had Fox in a while. I called them they sent someone right away and made a convenient appt to come do the inside as well.…
