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.
Arren W. was great. He did a thorough walk-through with me throughout my property and gave helpful tips on what I can do around my house in between quarterly visits made. He took his time and sealed several potential entry points of rodents and insects. I was very pleased with his attentiveness and would highly recommend him. Thanks Arren!
I had Ron at my house today addressing a bee issue. He was amazing. Very personable and extremely kind. He was very thorough in looking for a nest and spraying to prevent further issues. Fox pest was super responsive to my problem. Thank you Ron!

Mason was excellent set up bait stations removed wasps nest from attic did a outside all around the house look answered all questions
great service today from Richard Mason. He went above and beyond to make sure a column to yellow jacket is not able to build a nest inside the wall, through a siding crack. applied both liquid and powder pest killer, he even repaired the loose siding piece and blocked further wasp entry.
I’ve been very happy with the service. Everyone, from the people answering the phones to the technicians who come out, is incredibly friendly and professional. They do a great job while also being mindful of the environment, which I really appreciate. Most importantly, the service works! Highly recommend.
They came and took care of my bee problem. Great service and keep me well informed about the situation and how to proceed with this situation going forward. Outstanding customer service and field support.
After the service, we still see some yellow jackets crawling in from the window.
Called about a yellow jacket nest inside of a crawl space in our house that was causing yellow jackets to enter our bedroom. Was told over the phone it would be removed during service the next day. Technician came the next day and was not made aware of service call. When he looked in the crawl space and saw the nest…
9/28/26 I am so grateful to Steve on behalf of Fox Pest Control for returning to our home twice (2 and 3 weeks post initial service visit) to ensure our hidden yellow jacket nest no longer had living bees before we sealed the gap in the window frame. I feel we paid for a single service visit and received much more.…
We got to work with Timmy as we discovered wasps in my daughter's room. It was tricky for us to diagnose, and we had another technician come out a few days before who could not figure out the problem. Timmy went above and beyond! He came in first thing on a Saturday morning. He inspected the house so thoroughly…
He did an excellent job
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
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…
Had service for wasps removal. Richard M technician did a wonderful job.
Worked with “Jonathan”, who was very easy to work with and explained exactly what he would do and what we should expect as a result. He advised us not to expect a magic switch and that this will be an ongoing process of steady improvement. We are looking forward to our next visit with Jonathan, and his expertise to…
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
The technician was thorough, professional, and courteous.The inspection and treatment was well performed..
Do not hire Fox Pest Control for wasp/hornet treatment in wall voids! They are not trained for this work! We had them at our home and they did the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do. They sprayed liquid insecticide into the external entry point. This traps the pests inside the wall without actually killing…
