Larry introduced himself properly and was very professional. He explained how he does his inspection and what he looks for. He performed his inspection and told me treatment would prevent me from having the spiders, ants, wasps and tree tree roaches from being around my house. I felt comfortable with his knowledge of insects and the correct chemicals to use. Larry and HDMK are now my choice for Pest Control.
