Gerardo informed me when to expect his arrival which gave me time to clear the areas that needed to be treated. He is very courteous and knowledgeable. He listened to my concerns, answered my questions and did a very thorough job. Would highly recommend him.

★★★★★

0/10 would not recommend. I called to cancel my account and I am still being charged "late fees". The customer service representative blamed their use of AI technology, and refused to answer any questions. Just kept repeating "I understand you're frustrated". I called to cancel because they charge a premium price monthly for a poor service and awful customer service. I would still see pests and bugs all over the house and had to call almost weekly because their solution was so weak and ineffective. Do not use this service, they have their call center employees in Utah anyway, not even local people. Did not provide the service they are obligated to do.

Super nice very friendly. I scared him by accident. We actually kind of startled each other. It was funny and then my son stepped out and they talked briefly about a friend of his that works at disneyland because my son's going there tomorrow

Response from the owner · a month ago

Thank you for the wonderful review, August! It's heartwarming to know that our technician was able to share a light-hearted moment with you and your son. We hope your son's visit to Disneyland is filled with fun and excitement!
