The service person did an outstanding job. Came and did the service and attended to a bee problem Thank you Scott.
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!

Came to address targeted mice issue in shed. Did good job, but lack of communication with technician (Avery) who came up with plan of attack on how to proceed. Need to assure AVery's plan is known to any who came to my home. Dan Babbitt

The Technician was very informative about the service that was provided. He performed his job efficiently and quickly.
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…

Tengo se odio en dos casa porque acen buen trabajo
Thorough, courteous, helpful, informative. Excellent employees.
I hired Fox Pest Control through a door to door sales associate after doing some internet research on their team. The salesman sold his product thoroughly and was able to reach my budgeted price points. We sealed the deal within a one hour meeting. The services were scheduled and Cassidy came out to get the job…
We have used Fox for 2+ years. They do a good job keeping ants out of our house and the techs are all great. We started off with Lucia who my kids loved, but have been getting different techs lately.

Jon Bryant was very nice and helpful. He was very professional and took his time with the service. I would highly recommend.
Emmett did an exceptional job for us, and we appreciate his help/professionalism!
We started using Fox for our indoor/outdoor pest control/maintenance services. We were hesitant at first because we didn't want to pay $ just to end up having "false hope with minimal to no results". We have received several plan treatments to date, and have noticed a significant reduction in our yard/outside…

Robert was on time and was extremely efficient. He checked and replenished all inside and out bait stations. He did a fantastic job looking for any insect activity around the house. A plus service!
Our Fox technician, Jeff, was very nice and knowledgeable. He performed the regular maintenance at our house and was happy to address additional concerns on the spot. He was flexible with his schedule and was able to accommodate us by moving our appointment time up. All of the people I have interacted with at Fox…
I just had Jonathan Bryant of Fox Pest Control service my house and he was a true professional. He spent enough time to service my entire home on the inside and is going to comeback to service the exterior when the weather permits. He represents what the Fox salesperson said they were all about. Refreshing to know…
The tech ( Corey ) is very professional and curtious he explained every thing that he is going to do and then some. Yes I will refer this company to my friends.
