Highly recommend Good Neighbor Pest Service! We had a wasp nest in our roof that needed to be dealt with, and from start to finish the experience was excellent. Steve came out, handled the nest quickly and safely, and took the time to put preventative measures in place so we won’t be dealing with the same problem…

We had an issue with wasps getting in the house and contacted our pest control provider about it. After coming they said there wasn't anything they could do. So we reached out to Good Neighbor Pest Services. Mr. Steve came out and did a very thorough inspection and explained to us what was going on. He did work both outside and inside of the house. And we have not had an issue since! We were so impressed that we switched over to him for our routine pest control. He was just like what others had said in their reviews. I highly recommend them! He truly cares about what he is doing.

Hey Kemberli! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. Steve has always had a knack for tracking down Carpenter Bees, Hornets, Yellow Jackets, Wasps… and just about anything else that stings 🤷🏼‍♀️…lol. Thankfully, he enjoys the challenge, and even more than that, he enjoys helping people get their homes back. We’re so glad you gave us the opportunity to earn your trust after your previous experience. It means a lot to know that the inspection, explanation, and treatment gave you the relief you were looking for. Hearing that you chose to make Good Neighbor Pest Services your routine pest control provider is one of the highest compliments we could receive. It has truly been a pleasure serving you, and we look forward to keeping your home well defended for many years to come. Thank you again for your trust, your kind words, and your recommendation! 🙂
