Ever since we started working with Greenhow we no longer have a pesky mice problem. My Greenhow tech Luis is great at his job, efficient, and very kind. Always happy to have him service our home. Thanks!

I have had such positive experiences with everyone I've worked with at Greenhow so far. Previously we've just used them for quarterly insect maintenance but the other day I called as I identified some mice droppings. Not much terrifies me more than the possibility of mice in my home, but I feel like I’m in good…

I am always glad to see David (from Greenhow) arrive to perform the inspection and trapping services at our home in Arlington. Upon arrival he gets right down to business, and approaches all tasks with a thorough, thoughtful, engaged and efficient approach. Besides checking and re-baiting all the trap boxes, he…

Brendan was professional, helpful, and informative during the initial service visit. Samantha conducted a thorough inspection last week, and clearly explained their services. All good.

Ace tech Danny Fassino arrived on time, quickly donned slipovers to cover his shoes and set to work placing baited traps on our cellar sills and in boxes on the floor. Within two days, the work yielded success: three dead (now permanently blind) mice followed by another three an additional ex-mouse this week. After…

Greenhow provides quarterly pest maintenance at our home but will come out any time to address an issue or concern. They also regularly treat our property for mosquitos and ticks through the summer. They are easy to work with, reliable and knowledgeable. We've trusted them for over 15 years and have always been…

Very friendly customer service. Easy to schedule service calls. Knowledgeable technicians. My go-to for all my pest control needs: carpenter ants, wasp nests, rodents, sugar ants, and termite management. I would highly recommend Greenhow to anyone who is in need of pest control services.

We've now been working with Samantha who is so knowledgeable and comes whenever we call with questions or want the traps checked. I also…

Danny was so great. He took the time to explain everything to me. He found a few areas where the rodents could enter our home, blocked them, showed me where they were, put pet safe traps in various places, and disposed of one mouse.
