Professional, courteous, excellent communicator, inspired confidence.
We had a technician supposed to come during a 2 hour window on Friday and no show and no communication. Rescheduled to today and the same thing and they couldn't tell me when he might show up. Total waste of 2 days.
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
As always, professional, on-time and great service
Your technician was professional and knowledgeable and very empathetic. I was impressed by the attendant he gave. He listened well and explained corrective action.
Russell did a great job! He also answered all my questions and provided useful information. Thanks!
Technician was very professional answered all my questions and did a great job thanks
did a good job and was a good communicator
Everyone I've dealt with has been professional, prompt, and seamless while on my property. Xavier is the man!
The inspections and treatments went smoothly.
Jonathan was here for our annual termite control - he reviewed the existing locations - making sure we had the correct coverage to protect our home. He was great to walk the property with while looking at prior trap placement and closing any gaps. Talked about landscaping changes we are looking at doing next…
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…
Fox Pest Control was very adept at getting rid of bugs inside and outside of our home. They control ants, mosquitoes, bees, silverfish, etc. I would definitely recommend them.
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!
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!
Very thorough. Went through all of my concerns.
Excellent professional service. Thank you!
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. They took care of both promptly, and we have had no problems. They have been fantastic to work with and give an unbelievable peace of mind knowing…
Was able to get a combo deal that included all the services for reasonable rate. Xavier was great!
Kayla has come to our house several times now and has been thorough and reliable each time.
The technician arrived promptly and explained everything to me in a clear and understandable manner. All my questions were answered clearly and respectfully. He went right to work and took the time to calm my apprehensions as I was very nervous about the situation. He was very kind and personable. I couldn't be more satisfied! Thank you again Pablo.
I was very happy with the service from Fox.
Great staff very knowledgeable about there products.
Great experience with Anthony. He did a fantastic job. He said hello and announced his presence. Thank you.
Pablo is a very professional guy the best 100%
Always on time. Willing to solve issues. Professional follow up.
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.…
In the year I have been using Fox, we have seen no ants, mice, or other bugs in the house. That's why we called them.
We have used Fox Pest Control for many years and their service has always been thorough and reasonably priced.
Cass came out to do our routine treatment, but then we also had happened to have several sightings in our basement and pool house as well as the smell of a recently deceased mouse. Cass spent over 3 hours at our home, crawling into spaces in our basement that other providers never ventured, sealing gaps, setting…
They come quarterly and walk around the house. Depending on the season they treat the house and lawn accordingly. They find and plug holes in the house with steel wool to help keep rodents out. They find things I haven't. Solid professional technicians.
Excellent work done by Nick
I forgot about the service and Eric was kind enough to wait until someone was able to get home, he completed the exterior service while waiting. He was very pleasant and professional.
Jon was very nice and did a great service. I really appreciate his work and professionalism.
All in
service tech was professional and polite. Answered all my questions and performed service well.
The tech, Xavier, was extremely thorough and informative he did everything we asked and more so happy I made this choice
Benjamin Kelly was our service man. Seemed like a great guy. Very professional. Very knowledgeable. Easy to talk to. Very accommodating. Seems like we made a good choice.
Xavier was very professional and on time. Did a great job and I was very pleased.
Brigham came out on Monday to describe the services they provide - he was professional as well as easy to talk with. Heidi came out today to do the service and she was very friendly and knowledgeable. She took her time with all the services.
He knocked down a hornets nest too. Xavier is professional and pleasant to work with.
Nice crew, great company, always on time
Luis Franco was thorough. He was patient enough to answer all stupid questions. He knew exactly where he kept the baits last time. Was impressed by his eagerness to understand the issues and fix it.
I just had Dalton H. Come and treat the house for preventative treatment. He was here exactly on time, very thorough, he found susceptive areas that I was unaware of, and checked in with me before he left. He even gave a second spray to an area in the garage we saw some activity with carpenter ants. I have had pest…
Dalton & Devin performed the initial service on our home this weekend. They did an outstanding job! They were on time, friendly, courteous and professional. They explained each step of the process for treating our property. Glad we chose FOX.
We were experiencing a problem with carpet beetles. Ashley happened to knock on our door and explained the whole inspection and squeezed us in the next day. The whole team was great, very professional, and friendly. Came to the rescue when we needed them. I definitely will use in the future and recommend to…
I had an issue between scheduled visits where some bugs were showing up. They came out right away and sprayed for them. No issues since. This was a promise they made when I signed up (to make additional visits in case there was a bug flare up) so it was good to see them follow through without any hassle. Great job!
From start to finish, everything went well. We enjoyed how quickly everything was performed and the fact that the treatment used was not harmful to pets or certain other wildlife. The information provided was thorough and the price was very reasonable. We were happy that you stopped by to speak with us because we…
I used Fox Pest for general preventive maintenance & inspection. Dalton was great and explained everything that was done and why. Sam was also very friendly & Informative. Would recommend.
Xavier was exceptionally helpful and professional
Dalton was extremely professional. Showed up early. Asked what were my problems areas and went into details on what he was going to do. Answered all my questions. He did an excellent job and would highly recommend them.
Dalton was excellent, Covered everything, took his time and didnt rush, very detailed in what was being done, i definitely recommend him and services👍🏻Thank you
Our technician Heidi was on time and professional. She explained exactly what she was going to do and how she would do it. She checked in when she was done and told me what she saw/found and how she took care of it. Would recommend this business. We switched over from another company that charged more and covered less!
Heidi with Fox Pest Control was professional and pleasant in performing a thorough pest control service of my house, yard, and shed area. Great job!
I’m pleased with the value and service so far. First treatment was today and received professional, knowledgeable, and courteous staff.
